[1]Asif Ali Beg loves juggling many hats. He is an actor, singer, comedian, lyricist, and has done voice doubles for films like Madagascar 4, Ice Age 4, Incredibles and upcoming Smurfs 2 where he is dubbing for the brainy smurf. However, Asif says that he is not burdened with a lot of work.
“I have also done some commercials and conduct workshops regularly. But I believe all these things are related, and for me one thing led to another. My only mantra is to concentrate on the task at hand,” says Asif.
In the city with his play All In The Timing, an adaptation of short plays by David Ives, directed by Faezeh Jalali, at India Habitat Centre, Asif says, “Mostly in comedies, the stories revolve around one’s timing or chances in life.”
Asif has also done commercials like Amul chocolates, Onida television and Colgate. However, says Asif, being a lyricist is very close to his heart.
For Dhoom 2, Krazzy 4, Awarapan, Vishwaroopam and upcoming Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, Asif has penned the English and Hinglish lyrics for these films. “Though the beauty of pure language is unquestionably Hinglish, I believe it is the upcoming language of the film industry,” he says.
