Actors in this generation are not just limiting themselves to screen but have also been trying their hands at singing, writing, lyricists and dialogues. Many celebs are crooning songs and entertaining their fans, and moreover, when a celeb sings a song, the buzz gets higher, and it’s always a bliss to fans.
Movie Analyst cum Business Transformation Expert Hirav Shah says, “There was a time when the actor’s job was to act but gone are those days. Today some of the most established actors don’t mind lending their voice to a song, and, surprisingly, some of them have turned out to be very good. Apart from swooning us with their acting skills on the big screen, some of South India’s multi-talented actors have impressed us with their singing too.”
