<p>"I'm desperate to work with Rahman. He makes super songs and his music is not only different, it's amazing too. I would love to sing for him. I am working with all the top music directors in the industry but I haven't been able to work with him till now. I hope it happens soon," Anushka said.<br /><br />Anushka was a member of an all girls pop band "Viva" and ventured into playback singing in Tamil films after the band split.<br /><br />In 2006, she got her first big break in Hindi films for "Golmaal", in which music was composed by Vishal-Shekhar. This was followed by several other songs in the films like "Ugli Aur Pagli", "Cash", "Chak De! India" and "Chandni Chowk To China" among others.<br />The 24-year-old, who has big banner films, including "Luck", "Kites" and "Aladdin" among others in her kitty, says she had initially wanted to be in the advertising field.<br /><br />"I never thought that I would become a playback singer for the simple reason that I thought I didn't have it in me to be one. To sing in films, you need versatility and I always thought that I don't possess that.<br /><br />"But now when I have made it, I want to sing every day of my life. I am very happy that I have got opportunities. There are so many others who are good singers but are still struggling to get a chance. So it makes me feel great that I have come this far," said Anushka whose "Golmaal golmaal" became a chartbuster.<br /><br />Anushka is critical of herself and says she was a very bad singer five years ago, but has learnt a lot since then.<br /><br />"I think, I was a pretty bad singer five years ago, but now I have become better... I have matured, I understand music much better... I've learnt in these years and will continue to do so," she said.<br /><br />So which heroine would she like to sing for in future?<br />"I want to sing for all the famous heroines. I want to become their voice. If you sing for big films and famous heroines then that helps you.<br /><br />"I never thought that my voice would suit Kareena but when I sang 'Tu sala' ('Golmaal Returns'), it became hugely popular and my voice completely suited her. So now I think my voice will suit most girls," said the singer.<br /><br />When asked whether formal training is a prerequisite to become a successful singer, she was quick to reply: "I don't think so. It helps if you sing songs which are completely classical based, where I take more time, but it's not something you can't do without.<br /><br /> Kishore Kumar never had formal training but he was a great singer and hugely successful."<br /></p>
