"Sandcastles is one of my favourite ballads of Beyonce from her recent albums. My girl band and I wrote the happy birthday part of the song that leads into the last section of Sandcastles," says Kholgade. She is hoping that the Crazy In Love singer replies to the post specially made for her.
Kholgade is keeping her fingers crossed. Beyonce has millions of followers, but she's still hoping for a reply.
Ready to dance
Shilpa Rao has rendered the Ghungroo track in Siddharth Anand's Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff-starrer War. Ever since she sang Khuda Jaane in Anand's Bachna Ae Haseeno (2008), the filmmaker makes sure Rao croons in each of his films. "It was fun singing the dance track. It is a type of song I have not rendered before. It is also my fifth collaboration with composers Vishal-Shekhar," says Rao.
