<div align="justify">It’s not the first time that Sandalwood actor Vasishta N Simha has been noted for his voice. But his singing in ‘Marete Hodenu Unplugged’, a song from the upcoming movie ‘Dayavittu Gamanisi’, has fetched him particularly great reviews. In a candid chat with Tini Sara Anien, the actor shares his excitement about the video.<br /><br /><br />Are you a trained singer?<br /><br />Not at all. I just feel that I am blessed to have a good voice. I used to sing from my childhood and would listen to Hamsalekha’s songs.<br /><br /><br />Why an unplugged version of the song?<br /><br />It was something new and exciting. When I sang the song, the director Rohit Padaki wanted it to be an unplugged version and not just a playback one. There are chances that this version will be retained in the movie too.<br /><br />Things you like most about the song...<br /><br />I love the violin bit in the song as it is amazing. The tune is very touching and the lyrics will definitely have an effect on the listener.<br /><br /><br />Some challenges you faced when singing...<br /><br />I really lacked practice. There were some high notes in the song which I was sure I wouldn’t be able to sing. When I went to the studio, J Anoop Seelin told me to give it my best shot. I’m glad I did.<br /><br /><br />How does it feel to be the singer and the actor in the video?<br /><br />I moved from Mysuru to sing. I’ve done a lot of things post that and to finally achieve what I wanted to do, is like coming a full cycle. I’m nothing less than excited.<br /><br /><br />Thoughts on your mind when you were recording the song...<br /><br />I was confused and nervous and wasn’t sure if it was a good move. I didn’t talk to anyone for an hour after the video was launched. It was only when I heard that the video had worked that I let out a big sigh of relief.<br /><br /><br />How important is music to you?<br /><br />The only thing that can get me out of bed is music. Anyone who knows me well, will know that they can wake me up by playing a good song. Good music leaves one refreshed and energetic.<br /><br /><br />Would you like to be remembered as a musician or as an actor?<br /><br />Acting is my bread and butter. Music is my passion. But, I would like to be remembered for all of it.<br /><br /><br />Another aspect of the industry that you want to try out?<br /><br />I am giving a shot at screenplay writing. I have many other plans but I’d like to do things one by one.<br /><br /><br />Your favourite musician in the industry.<br /><br />Hamsalekha... there’s no doubts about that. He is my guru and my god in the world of music. It’s his songs that got me singing.<br /><br /><br />What’s in the pipeline?<br /><br />I might sing for a couple of my own movies as well as for others. Movie wise, ‘Duniya 2’ and ‘Dayavittu Gamanisi’ will release in July.<br /></div>
