Singer Shaan Set For Acting Debut In ‘Music School’; Know More About His First Film

Mumbai: Shaan has enchanted music lovers with his melodious voice over the years.

Soon, his fans will see the playback singer and composer in a new avatar – that of an actor.

Come May 12, Shaan’s first film – a musical titled ‘Music School’ — will hit the big screen.

Shaan did face the camera earlier for his music videos, but ‘Music School’ marks his first film as an actor in a well-defined role.

Directed and produced by IAS officer-turned-filmmaker Paparao Biyyala, the film stars Shriya Saran and Sharman Joshi in lead roles, with Shaan playing a pivotal character.

“When I first began working on a song for Music School, I had no idea I would end up starring in it as well. It so happened that when I was recording the song, the director of the film Paparao Biyyala felt I would be the perfect match for the character they were looking at and proposed the idea to cast me. I had an idea of the story as I was recording the song, but when Paparao sir narrated the script, I was instantly on board. It was an extremely beautiful journey shooting for the film, we majorly shot in Goa and it added to the beauty and lively experience. I am extremely thankful to Paparao sir for giving me this opportunity and making me a part of his passion project,” Shaan said in a statement.

‘Music School’, whose trailer was released last month, is a musical narration of the sensitive issue and concern of academic pressure subjected to students by the society, parents and teachers.

There are 11 songs in the film, 3 of which have been recreated from the iconic ‘The Sound of Music’.

The 50-year-old Shaan himself has recorded an original song in the film.

“We were looking for a flamboyant, energetic and lively person for the character but had no luck in finding the perfect match. I then saw Shaan recording one of the songs from the film, he was so excited and happy, he was literally dancing while recording and I immediately felt we found our guy. Shaan is not just a brilliant singer but also an effortless actor and most importantly a wonderful person. His positive aura and charming attitude convinced me to cast him in Music School,” said the director.
