Asked about what drives him to recreate old iconic songs, Prashantt said: “I am basically an actor. I haven’t taken formal training of music, but nowadays, it’s a trend on digital medium to do covers of iconic songs where singers give their tribute to old songs. So, I thought I can do the same.
“I try to choose the songs which aren’t attempted by anyone earlier and which resonate emotionally with my taste.”
On his upcoming film projects, Prashantt said: “I have two short films that are releasing in the next three to four months. I will share details about it very soon. My first short film is made by producer Priti Rathi Gupta who has produced ‘Karwaan’. Apart from that, there is another short film titled ‘Tu’. And I am also working in few feature films and on few songs as well.”
