Making his singing debut

The song, titled Oh Rahi Rahi, is based on the 60s theme and is filmed entirely in black and white.

Vinay is not the first actor to sing. Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar, Abhay Deol, Akshay Kumar are some of the actors who have sung for their films. A source close to the actor said that Vinay, being a huge classical music fan, took inspiration from iconic yesteryear singers like Mohammad Rafi, Mukesh and Kishore Kumar while preparing for the song. “Vinay was very kicked about the idea of singing in Bheja Fry 2. His character Bharat Bhushan is a wannabe singer and hence, the makers thought why not have a promotional song sung by Vinay, featuring him.”

“Vinay is a big fan of old Hindi songs and would listen to classics from Mohammad Rafi, Mukeshji, and Kishore Kumar to prepare for his singing debut,” said the source. Produced by Mukul Deora and directed by Sagar Ballary, Bheja Fry 2 also stars Kay Kay Menon, Minissha Lamba, Suresh Menon and Amol Gupte, and is set to hit theatres on July 15.
