Honey Singh talks of new movie ‘The Xpose’

Rapper-composer Yo Yo Honey Singh, who is making his acting debut with the film The Xpose, says he has a small role in the movie and has tried to emulate legendary actor Pran.

“My role in this film is like a cameo, I am coming as a debutant actor. It’s a very short role with only three to four scenes and it is a negative character,” the 29-year-old said at the Miss India 2014 contest.

“This film is based in the 1960s and I love the way Pran-ji used to act. So I have tried to do what he did,” he said.

Singh added: “I think acting is the most difficult one among all the performing arts. Writing songs, making music and singing is important to me and I do all three.

“You play someone you are not... so I wanted to learn it. Anant Mahadevan is a senior actor and filmmaker and Himesh [Reshammiya] asked me if I would do a small role and I said yes,” Singh added.

The Xpose stars composer-actor Himesh Reshammiya in the lead. It is a detective thriller, and besides some new faces, the film also stars Irrfan Khan.

The movie will hit theatres in India on May 23.
