Ayushmann to sing for Rohan Sippy's 'Nautanki Saala'

The Rohan Sippy-directed movie will have atleast one song by the 27-year-old, who wants to make a mark in the industry as an actor who sings.

"I'll sing in every film I am part of, at least a couple of songs. I am singing in Rohan Sippy's film, the one we are shooting for right now. I'll sing at least one song in it. I'm really looking forward to it. Its a quirky film, so I think it will be an unusual song on the lines of 'Nautanki Sala'," Ayushmann told us.

His musical talents have got a new boost what with "Paani Da" being nominated in the Best Music Debut category at the upcoming Global Indian Music Awards (GIMA) and Ayushmann is determined to take his talent forward.

"Not only musical legends, but even rookies look forward to these awards. The nomination is an encouragement. If not an album, I'll make other singles. In fact we recently made the remix of Paani Da Rang and it's got over 4 lakh hits on Youtube," he said.

Ayushmann said the nomination is like a double whammy and he doesn't mind if he loses out the award to other co-nominees Harshit Saxena ("Haal-e-Dil" from 'Murder 2'), Kamal Khan ("Ishq Sufiyana" from 'The Dirty Picture') and Sunil Bhatia ("Chu Chu" from 'Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster').

"This is like a double whammy for me, the film is a hit, the song is a hit and I am nominated as the best debut singer. Others nominees like Kamal Khan and Harshit Saxena are professional singers. Even if I don't win I'll be happy and I will cheer for them."
