New Delhi, Jan. 31 (ANI): Indian rapper Raftaar in his three-year career span has tried his hand in a lot of things, be it making tunes for Bollywood or Punjabi industry or dancing to a choreographer's instruction in a reality show.

When the 27-year-old rapper was asked whether he would try his hands in acting as well, he gave it a green signal but with a slight twist.

"Nothing is planned, I am open to everything, I am doing music and something which comes along the way that interests me I will definitely do it. If somebody comes to me for a romantic movie and says you have to act like a hero, I wouldn't do that because that's not my personality, may be a villain or something," Raftaar told ANI during a music launch.

The 'Swag Mera Desi' hit-maker, who has a dual graduation on his name, has also revealed that he was very much into poetry during his college days and was also good at rhyming.

He added, "Randomly I head an Eminem song and I rhymed every line and thought that this is what I can do because you always start as a wannabe and then you become something that somebody else wants to be."

"So that's how I started poetry.started dubbing in the home studio and then posting stuff on Orkut and Sound Cloud and then the people started recognising me," Raftaar said.

The Rapper plans to go solo this year and will soon be launching his album 'Zero to Infinity'.
