It seems that the queen of parallel cinema, Tannishtha Chatterjee has been inspired by Bollywood biggies such as Shahrukh Khan, Amitabh Bachan and Priyanka Chopra who have wooed audiences with their sensational singing abilities.
Chatterjee who will be seen in the upcoming Bollywood drama Gulab Gang says she has also been given a slot to playback in the film.
“I recently wrapped up shooting for my film Gulab Gang. We had a wonderful time shooting for the movie and not many know that I also sang a song in it,” said the actor, who is a trained Indian classical vocalist. “The song is picturised very well. I am a trained singer and I am not allowed to talk much about the song beyond this.”
The movie also features veteran Bollywood actors and once known archrivals, Madhuri Dixit and Juhi Chawla in lead roles. When asked if she would be seen shaking a leg with the dancer diva, Tannishtha said, “Madhuri is the number one dancer, she is the best. It was a pleasure working with her. Though, I am not dancing in the film as my character doesn’t allow me to do so.”
The movie that is based on a real-life gang of Indian women activists called Gulabi Gang and is directed by Soumik Sen and produced by Anubhav Sinha.
