Making music

Singer Monali Thakur talks to CT about her forthcoming Europe tour with Adnan Sami.

She��s making music and with great elan. Bollywood too has accepted her with open arms. The latest on Monali Thakur��s front is that the singer is on board for a Europe tour with Adnan Sami that kickstarts in October.
Back in the city for a couple of programmes, Monali Thakur gets into a peppy mode, talking about what��s keeping her busy.
Ask her about her forthcoming projects and Monali rules out the possibility of a film in the coming months.��I��ve decided to go easy after Krishnakanter Will. I know the reviews of the film weren��t that flattering, but then, my work was appreciated.
The best compliment has however, come from Rituparno Ghosh, who said that he liked my work. I would love to be part of one of his films,�� says Monali, flashing a confident smile. ��A lot of offers came my way, but I

didn��t find anything interesting,�� she continues in the same vein.
With films now much down the priority list, it��s obvious what��s taking up most of her time. And the Zara zara touch me girl is getting all the right offers. ��Up next is Golmaal Returns, where my song is most probably featured on Kareena Kapoor. In the pipeline are many others,�� gushes Monali. But apart from films, it��s the Europe tour that the singer is looking forward to.

There are a lot of shows lined up and I��m happy to be sharing the stage with a talent like Adnan Sami. Earlier, I had been part of an Indian Idol tour,�� she quips. The singer is also working on her album, but isn��t too sure about its date of release. ��I��ve composed a few numbers but this isn��t a good time to release an album. Talks are on with people from the music industry whether a few songs could be used in films. Nothing has been finalised as yet.��
Work alright. But what does the young talent from the city do when her hands aren��t full? ��I��m not a party animal. But I love hanging around with friends.��Play on, girl.
