After singing and composing, Shibani Kashyap is now moving on to
acting. She makes her debut with director Faisal Saif's
controversial film "Osama" - a love story that starts from Kashmir,
travels to Afghanistan and ends at the World Trade Center.
"I am playing a cameo in the film. I play Osama's friend,"
Shibani told IANS.
But the singer doesn't want to make acting her fulltime
profession.
"As of now, I don't have any full-fledged acting ambitions because
I am too busy with my music. I am doing film music and I have to
complete my new album. So there isn't time for acting. I can take
it as a hobby, not as a profession," said Shibani, who has to her
credit hit tracks like "Zinda" and "Sajna aa bhi jaa".
While the singer has been a guest composer in all her previous
works, she will compose the entire music score for "Osama", which
stars Jackie Shroff, Gauri Karnik and Kader Khan and is being
produced by Das Music. There are five songs in the film.
"Its true that this is my first film as a composer. Most of the
songs are situational and I have already finished one song," she
said.
Apart from this, her long collaboration with filmmaker Sanjay Gupta
continues as she is singing for his upcoming ventures - "Woodstock
Villa" that will introduce Anupam Kher's son Sikander Kher and his
English art cinema "The Great Indian Butterfly", which stars
Sandhya Mridul and Koel Purie.
In the two movies Shibani has composed and sung the songs titled
"Dhokha dega dhokha khayega" and "Thodi thodi saanch" respectively.
The music of "Woodstock Villa", according to her, "sounds like
something straight out of a James Bond track. It has an
international feel to it".
And about the song she is singing, Shibani said: "Though it cannot
be slated as an item song, it is very groovy and catchy with a
medium tempo. It is a deep, substantial and meaningful song. As far
as my appearance in the video is concerned, it is not yet decided."
She added: "I am also doing Sanjay Gupta's 'Alibaug'."
Shibani is slowly but steadily creating a niche for himself in
filmdom. She has also recently completed a song for Rohit Shetty's
"Sunday" picturised on Esha Deol.
