Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor is playing a singer, according to the reports, and the filmmakers have decided this earlier that as Ranbir is playing a singer, only Arijit Singh will be singing for the actor in the movie.
According to the reports, filmmakers and Ranbir Kapoor felt that Arijit Singh suited the actor vocally.
Arijit Singh, himself, confirming the reports said, “.”"I've done it earlier in Aashiqui 2, where Aditya Roy Kapur played a singer. Now with Ranbir Kapoor, I am again giving voice to the character of a professional singer, and it's different, more challenging than the usual playback singing. Ranbir Kapoor had already shot the title song with a scratch recording (song recorded in a makeshift voice). I sat and observed Ranbir Kapoor emoting to the words .Then recorded my songs.”
“It is very rare for an actor today to be able to hold the camera on his face for almost a minute emoting to the lyrics. Ranbir Kapoor has done it in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. Not for a second does one feel he is faking the emotions. When I watched Ranbir Kapoor emoting to the words and tune, I felt inspired and challenged to give better than my best. I've seen how Ranbir Kapoor responded to the music that he had to sing in Rockstar when he played a singer. It's very inspiring for any playback singer,” said Arijit Singh while praising Ranbir Kapoor.
The singer further added, “Ranbir Kapoor isn't just using my voice in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. He is experiencing and savouring the words, letting them flow into his soul. It's such a pleasure to sing for him because as a professional playback singer, I know Ranbir Kapoor's screen presence will carry my song very far.”
While confirming that he is still recording songs for ADHM, Arijit Singh said, “We haven't decided on how many songs I will sing for Ranbir Kapoor. But I can tell you this. Whatever Dada (composer Pritam Chakraborty) and Karan Johar decide, it will all add up to a grand musical experience. And for those who are raving about my first song for Ranbir in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, here's news. My second song for Ranbir Kapoor is even better. I rate it as one of the best songs I've sung so far.”
