Spicezee Bureau

Mumbai: Not many people in Bollywood know that Ranbir Kapoor is a singer too, for the actor recently crooned a peppy number for music director Vishal Shekhar in ‘Anjaana Anjaani’ in flat 45 minutes! The recording took place at Vishal Shekhar’s Bandra studio at 1am. Speaking to a news daily about Ranbir’s singing talent, a close source said, “He shocked both, Vishal and Shekhar. His singing was so smooth and comfortable. This facet of Ranbir was completely unknown and untapped.” Incidentally, Ranbir’s co-star Priyanka Chopra too has a solo in the film as the source added, “She heard the tune last night and brainstormed with Siddharth and Vishal Shekhar about her comfort level with the pitch of the song. She is yet to muster up the courage to sing. As things stand today, she should be singing the song in the next couple of days.” Well, it was director Siddharth Anand who wanted Ranbir to croon for the flick as he said, “Ranbir improvised a lot and did a brilliant job. It was my idea to make him sing. He knew about it from the time he read the script. But the scene where he sings remains to be shot. It will be canned in the next schedule in the US.” Meanwhile, music director Vishal is completely floored by Ranbir’s singing prowess as he adds, “Though it’s a song, it’s also a scene. We had to get Ranbir to do it for authenticity and he totally rocked!” Way to go Ranbir!
