Does singing prepare you for acting?

Don’t even try: Mika Singh

Mika Singh, who has numerous hit Bollywood songs to his credit, also decided to put on his acting cap. First came a Punjabi film called Mitti in 2010, and the next year the singer gave a flop Bollywood film called Loot. Well, we are sorry but no acting for you Mika. 

He’s got it in him: Ali Zafar

Ali Zafar is one of the most multi-talented artistes. His work as an accomplished actor, musician/singer-songwriter/producer is commendable. Ali, to his has name has six Bollywood films and three box office hits. His work in music has definitively shaped the nature of Pakistan’s music industry since his first album selling over four million copies worldwide. He was also voted as the Sexiest Asian Man in the British magazine, Eastern Eye, beating the likes of Hrithik Roshan and Shah Rukh Khan. 

Buried deep under: Aditya Narayan

Aditya Narayan decided to follow his father’s footsteps and become a singer. Owing to his boyish looks, the lad decided to give acting a try and Vikram Bhatt signed him up for his 2010 horror flick Shaapit. Aditya even snagged a Best Male Debut nomination at the Zee Cine Awards but his acting was as forgetful as the movie itself. 

Yo, get back to music YoYo Honey Singh

The rapper who makes people sway in the clubs to his songs surely couldn’t connect with the audiences in his movies. Yo Yo Honey Singh was seen in movies like Zorawar and The X-Pose and received negative reviews for both. It would be great for him to realise that music is his field of mastery and his fans expect more music from him. 

Touch and go: Adnan Sami

Adnan Sami last featured as a singer in 2015 hit movie Bajrangi Bhaijaan. The singer made his acting debut in a film titled Afghan - In Search Of A Home. In the film, Adnan was seen portraying the role of a musician from Afghanistan, who flees his country under tense circumstances and seeks refuge in a new place. 

Totally X-Posed: Himesh Reshammiya

Ignoring the facts how Himesh Reshammiya’s films have done at the box office, we simply cannot take away the fact that he tried. The music producer was seen in movies like Khiladi 786, The X-Pose and Teraa Surroor. Undoubtedly, he was praised for his soundtracks in the movie but definitely not for his acting.
