Actors
turning
singers
have
become
a
trend
in
the
film
industry.
Especially
in
South
Indian
films,
we
see
many
instances
of
this
trend.
Even
though
they
do
not
pose
any
talent,
they
are
made
to
sing,
keeping
commercial
intrest
in
mind.
We
see
very
few
actors
like
Vijay,
Vasundhara
Das,
Mamta
Mohandas
etc,
who
are
trained
in
singing
and
has
proved
their
talent.
Latest
additon
to
this
pool
is
actress
Manjari
Phadnis.
The
Marathi
lass,
who
has
acted
in
Tamil,
Telugu,
Bengali
and
Hindi,
has
shown
her
hidden
talent
through
the
film
Muthurai.
The
actress
has
sung
'Azhagaana
Neeyum'
a
slow
duet,
along
with
Naresh
Iyer
for
which
she
has
received
a
good
response.
Yuvan
Shankar
Raja
has
composed
the
music
for
this
film.
Manjari
is
trained
in
classical
music
and
she
says
that
she
had
set
her
sight
for
singing
from
very
young
age.
The
actress
has
recently
confessed
that
she
prefers
singing
over
acting.
She
has
even
participated
in
a
popular
musical
reality
show,
where
she
was
one
of
the
finalists.
