Actress Mumait Khan, who shook a leg in many item numbers in Kollywood, has set her sights on becoming a singer. Her maiden single, Addiction, is set to release in a couple of weeks. “It is an electronic dance number, written in a mix of Telugu and English slang. All I can say about the song it that it is me. I’m sure a lot of people will be astonished watching me and listening to the song,” says Mumait, who has collaborated with DJ Sheizwood for the single.

It all began on a whim. “One day, I went to DJ Sheizwood and told him I want to sing. He did not take me seriously, but upon listening to me sing he was pretty impressed and advised me to take some vocal lessons,” she says.
