Aditya Roy Kapur On Musical Journey: ‘Will Be Releasing Something Soon'
Last Updated: Aditya Roy Kapur has lent his voice to a song for Metro…In Dino. Aditya Roy Kapur is all set to return to the big screen with Metro…In Dino. The film not only brings together a stellar cast, but it also marks a new chapter in the actor's creative journey. It is directed by Anurag Kashyap and features an ensemble lineup that includes Sara Ali Khan, Pankaj Tripathi, Neena Gupta, Konkona Sen Sharma, Anupam Kher, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Ali Fazal and Saswata Chatterjee. For Aditya, Metro…In Dino is more than just a film. It marks a special milestone. The actor, who has impressed audiences with his performance over the years, is now finally stepping into a space he has been passionate about for a long time – music. For the first time, Aditya has lent his voice to a song for Metro…In Dino. Opening up about his musical journey, Aditya told IANS, 'Well, honestly, I'm now actually finally doing something about it. I'm kind of… I'm in the studio currently, working on some music, which I'll be putting out. I know I've been saying this for a long time now, but it's actually happening, so I'll be releasing something soon." He added, 'I sang for it, and both the dada's Pritam sir and Anurag sir felt it sounded good. So yeah, I'm singing in the movie, and that's a first. And yes, in terms of music, I'm definitely going to put something out soon for sure." This film marks an exciting shift in Aditya's career—not only in terms of his music but also as an actor. Describing the role he plays, Aditya explained that it allowed him to try something he hadn't done before. The character, according to him, is a 'very interesting idiosyncratic character that seems to dance to the beat of his own drum." 'It gave me the opportunity to really take chances and have fun with it. It's nice to be able to do something light, the last thing that I did was The Night Manager, which was very fulfilling but also intense, so it's nice to go from something intense to something lighter. In this way, you are doing different things. I think it's going to be an interesting and fun character and it's a genre that I enjoy," he added. Metro…In Dino will make its theatrical debut on July 4. First Published:
