For somebody who was, in his own words, quite ‘fickle minded’ when it came to his career at one time, Arjun Kanungo has come a long way. The singer and composer’s rendition of Khoon Choos Le from Go Goa Gone, found an empathetic listener in many an officegoer. “My mum is a sportsperson, so I always thought I would do something in sports,” says Kanungo, “Then I wanted to be an architect. Then a graphic designer. So I was pretty unfocussed until I started doing music.” Ever since he got into it, Kanungo has been giving it all he’s got. “I have a solo project where I play my Bollywood/Hindi stuff. I also have a band called Far Travel Music, in which we play alternaty-electro-ish experimental stuff,” says the 25-year-old. And now, apart from music, it’s the acting world that has caught the imagination of the good-looking guy. “I have done a few auditions but my love for the big screen would be ideal if it was related to music. I can see myself fitting perfectly in a film like Rock on or Aashiqui 2, so hope I can make it,” he says. Excerpts from the interview:
