Ayaan, who made his debut with ‘C’mon Baby’ in ‘Bandar’, recently revealed that he kept the ‘Salman Mamu’ news under wraps until the music was announced and released. Speaking to Hindustan Times, the singer revealed that he was told to keep the song a secret, and Nikhil Dwivedi, the co-producer of the song, wanted him to give an honest touch to the ‘Tubelight’ actor.Giving details, she shared, “I wasn’t allowed to tell Salman Mamu that I am doing this song for Bobby Bandar uncle’s film. Nikhil (Dwivedi, co-star) made me swear not to hide it and said, ‘When this song goes through, I will call your Mamu and tell her that I got new lyrics; what do you think?'”Agni then went on to say that when he asked his mum how he felt about the song, he was told, “He (Salman Khan) liked it and when he met me later he told me that I had done a good job and I should keep it.”In an interview with NDTV a few weeks ago, Agni spoke about the advice his uncle gave him in his early career.

The singer, who released three singles prior to his performance, also revealed that acting could also be in his cards in the future. The star shared that ever since she left, she has been deeply influenced by the Bollywood industry, and always wanted to be an actor when she grew up. “I went to university to do theater and international theater”, he added, however, sharing what he gradually realized that he enjoyed it all.He said, “I realized that I was doing everything I loved. Almost immediately I started writing. Poetry turned into spoken word, which turned into music, and I found a very special connection with music. I felt that I could express the things I wanted through my writing, and I was inspired by music because it helped me connect with the things I was experiencing and going through. That really affected me.“On whether a Bollywood actor is on the cards or not, Agni said, “Maybe Bollywood sometime in the future; it’s not in the limelight because I love acting. But right now the focus is on music.”
