It started with a Twitter face-off between actress Sonakshi
Sinha and singer Armaan Malik with the latter vehemently opposing the idea of
actors singing for themselves on screen. But now the issue has acquired far-reaching
ramifications.
He said: 'It takes years and years of devotion to be
able to sing and pursue music to reach a professional level. Leave music and
singing, any art for that matter requires that. Millions of singers are finding
opportunities to work. Imagine how crushed they would feel when they see non-singers
getting that chance?!'
So is Armaan calling the stars-turned-singers non singers?
'All I believe in is putting the truth out there. When
these actors sing their own songs the average middle class movie going public
thinks, 'If they can sing, we can also sing'.The standard of music and singing
in our cinema has fallen so long because anybody can sing these days.
'Aspiring singers will stop putting efforts in learning
music, ragas, classical music and others,' he said.
Playback singer Alka Yagnik, however disagrees with Armaan.
'Why not? Why shouldn't actors sing? In any case anybody
can be made to sound like a singer these days, what with the help of advanced
technology like auto-tuning,' said Yagnik.
Ace composer Amit Trivedi agrees with Yagnik.
'As long as the actors sing really well, it's all really
good. I don't have a problem with actors singing. Alia Bhatt and Diljit Dosanjh
have sung for me,' he said.
