Sonakshi ‘would love to’ collaborate with singers

Actor Sonakshi Sinha “couldn’t be happier” to unveil her first single Aaj mood ishqholic hai - a track with strong hip-hop beats. And now, she wants to join forces with popular singers like Honey Singh and Mika.

“I’ve always believed in learning from experience and we have such amazing artistes that I would love to collaborate with. Honey Singh, Badshah, Manj from RDB, Vishal-Shekhar, Salim-Sulaiman, Hard Kaur, and Mika are some of the Indian artistes whom I really admire in this space and would love to work with them as a singer,” said Sonakshi.

Internationally, she shared that it would be “so exciting” to work with Adele, Beyonce Knowles and Ed Sheeran. As of now, she is excited about her single that was unveiled on Wednesday. With music by Meet Bros and lyrics of Kumaar, the song, which showcases her rapping skills, has been released by T-Series. “I was super excited. I chose the genre that I wanted to sing and was involved with the song right from its conception. I am very clear in my head about the kind of songs I want to do, and what space they will be in. Along with Meet Bros, Kumaar and T-Series, I believe I got the perfect first song for me. I couldn’t be happier,” said the Dabangg actor.

The video has been viewed 7,38,885 times on YouTube till now, and she is happy with the response.

“Today everything is digital. So yes, I think releasing something online creates a great buzz and reaches out to an audience internationally too! As soon as the song hit (online), I got an amazing response not only from Indian fans but from people from Iraq, Malaysia, South Africa, US and UK too,” she said.

Fans will have to wait for that for a while as she is currently filming Force 2 here.
