In the near future, Aditya Roy Kapur will launch his own music.

The actor, who rose to fame with 2013’s Aashiqui, has announced that he will be embarking on a new journey.

A video of the Gumraah actor strumming a guitar and singing recently went viral. Consequently, he has decided to take a break from his busy schedule and focus on music.

According to News 18, he said: “I play music, and now I’m working on an album that will hopefully be released soon. I’ve been in the studio, working on it. Music has always been a passion and hobby, but now I’m pursuing it more seriously.”

Aashiqui 2 had come up as a possibility, but it never really materialized. I discussed this with Mohit (Suri; filmmaker) during that period. Since I was playing a singer in the film, he wanted me to go into the studio and sing the songs to get the sensation of singing them like a singer would.”

“So, I went into the studio and sang Aashiqui full-on despite how bad I sounded,” he recalled during the recording session of Ye Jawani Hai Deewani.

“I think they put me on mute on their side of the studio, but on my side I felt like I was singing and got it out of my system.”

He also expressed an interest in singing songs for films: “I haven’t sung in a film yet, but I hope to do so sometime in the future. I believe that, whether it’s Hindi or English, singing is singing. However, if I want to do it properly for a film, I’d like to work on it a bit.”
