Wary about singing..

Actor Abhay Deol thinks he cannot sing! And that is what put music composers Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy ill at ease. For his upcoming movie Zindagi Milegi Na Dobara, Abhay was made to sing for a track. While Abhay’s fans will be in for a treat to hear the actor sing, it wasn’t a cake walk for the musicians, who had a tough time with the actor. “Making Abhay sing was quite a task,” recalls Shankar Mahadevan.

“It was very difficult to make him (Abhay) sing. He has never sung in his life before, hence he was quite wary about singing,” adds Shankar.

Apparently, the actor was too unnerved when told to record a song. So how did the trio get Abhay to record the song? “We played smart,” quips Shankar. “We told him that we are not recording and that it is just a rehearsal. It kind of made him feel comfortable and he opened up and started singing, while we were recording it simultaneously,” he adds.

Besides Abhay, his costars — actors Hrithik Roshan and Farhan Akhtar — too have lent their voice for the film. And while Abhay was freaking out at the thought of singing, Hrithink and Farhan were all at ease. “Hrithik is a fabulous singer… very confident too. We didn’t have to work too much on him. And regarding Farhan, we have already worked with him for all the tracks in the film Rock On,” Shankar says.
