Mumbai:
After Amitabh Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh and Ayushmann Khurrana and many others, Shraddha Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapur will be the most recent actors to sing for their own films.
Both the actor have been cast to play the lead in the sequel of the 1990 superhit film Aashiqui. The film portrays them as musicians and director Mohit Suri admits that the reason they were cast was primarily because both of them play musical instruments in real-life.
Shraddha Kapoor has been playing the piano since her childhood, while Aditya Roy Kapoor strums the guitar.
In order to prep up their vocal skills, the actors are now taking singing lessons. Sharddha Kapoor, who is a Lata Mangeshkar fan, said, "I've been playing the piano for more than a decade now and I can say I'm well-versed in it. As of now, we are taking singing classes too but the final decision of whether we perform rests solely on Mohit."
Incidentally, Mohit Suri said that the reason behind casting the two actors is that both have experience in the medium. "I wanted a leading cast that would be familiar with musical instruments as the plot and role clearly demands it. I'm aware that both Shraddha and Aditya are practicing hard on their voice," said the director.
