Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, also known as Bhaijaan, has sparked excitement among fans by hinting at a potential rap career. The ‘Tiger 3’ actor teased a song called ‘You Are Mine’ featuring Vishal Mishra's vocals on Thursday. In a video posted on social media, Khan appears alongside his nephew Ayaan Agnihotri, who recently made his singing debut with "Party Fever." Ayaan asks Khan if he will rap with him someday, fueling speculation about Khan's possible rap debut. Since the video's release, fans have been eagerly awaiting Khan's potential entry into the rap scene.
Abhishek Bachchan
One of the first actors who turned into a crooner is Abhishek Bachchan. In Rohan Sippy’s 2005 film ‘Bluffmaster,’ Bachchan did the rap for the peppy number ‘Right here.. Right now..’ Almost a decade later, after the song’s release, Bachchan returned to the rap genre once again with the song ‘Until the Sun Comes Up.’ The song is a composition of Grammy Award winners Nelly and Raghav.
Vicky Kaushal
It’s no secret that Vicky Kaushal loves rap, especially Punjabi rap music. And when he got a chance to showcase his musical talent, the man didn’t step behind. Vicky, who was seen playing the lead in Anurag Kashyap’s ‘Manmarziyaan,’ alongside Taapsee Pannua and Bachchan, was asked to do a song. And he didn’t disappoint! The film’s song ‘F for Fyaar’ marked his singing debut. Other than that, when Vicky lip-synched Sofi Tukker’s ‘Purple Hat,’ he left everyone impressed, including his fellow co-stars from the industry.
Sunny Kaushal
Just like his elder brother, Sunny Kaushal is also a man of many talents. Last seen in ‘Phir Aayi Haseen Dillruba,’ Sunny made his official rap debut with the song ‘Jhandey,’ which he had released on his YouTube channel. He also recently showed his quirky freestyle rap talent when he decided to do an impromptu rap on ‘The Having Said That Show.’ Sunny’s rap video was also shared by Vicky on his social media.
