Adah Sharma makes singing debut with Charlie Chaplin 2

She will also be making her acting debut in Tamil with the film

Adah Sharma is making her acting and singing debut in Tamil with Prabhudheva's Charlie Chaplin 2.

Adah, who last featured in Commando 2 in Hindi and in Kshanam in Telugu, has learnt Carnatic music for 10 years.

On the song she has sung for the Prabhudheva-starrer, Adah says, "I'm very happy that Charlie Chaplin 2 is my debut in Tamil. My dad was always keen that I do a Tamil film. Director Shakthi, producer T Shiva and music director Amrish thought I would be perfect for this song. Tamil is my mother tongue, so this was fun."

The story behind how Adah landed the chance to sing for the film is interesting.

A source close to the film says that Adah sang one of her film's songs on a fan's request while she was live on Instagram. When the makers of Charlie Chaplin 2 heard it, they wanted her to use her talent for the film too.

Shakthi Chidambaram has himself penned the lyrics for the song, which is the film's title track.
