Nawazuddin : “I Was Most Reluctant To Sing”

Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s   song Swaggy Chudiyan , his  debut as a singer,  has  caught on   like wildfire.

“I don’t know  why! I am really no singer.And I’ve no illusions on that score. Nor do I  have any aspirations to be one. But this is  for my brother Shamas’ film Bole Chudiya,and  more than my brother  it is  the  producer who was keen that I sing the  number,” reveals Nawaz who is  a big fan of Hindi- film music.

“When I heard  Kumar’s  lyrics about the launda on the Honda, I knew this is  a hit song. I didn’t want them  to waste  it on  my  voice. But since they insisted I said, okay why not? If you notice  there is more rapping than singing in the  number. Sunny Inder’s composition is  very easy-going.  Koi khass ussmein singing skills  ki zaroorat nahin hai(not much singing skills are required here),” admits Nawaz who recently participated  in a  music video.

“That  music video  Baarish Ki Jaaye made me lose my inhibitions about dancing  on  screen. This song in Bole  Chudiya has  made me  confident about  singing. But audiences  needn’t get worried. I  am not going to be singing more songs, at least not in  the  foreseeable  future.”
