Singer-actress Monica Dogra, who has been associated with the country's indie music scene and has sung for Hindi movies too, will now compose her first Bollywood track for the forthcoming movie "Fireflies".
For Sabal Singh Shekhawat's "Fireflies", in which Monica also plays the lead role with Rahul Khanna, she has composed a song and it is said to be soulful and true to her trademark style.
Confirming this, Monica said in a statement: "When 'Fireflies' happened, I had written a few songs and got the director to hear them. As soon as that happened, Sabal loved them and asked me to use them in the movie.
"So I decided why not. What better way to combine all 3 of my loves together - acting, singing and composing music."
Apart from being a popular independent artist, Monica has lent her vocals in the past to songs like "Dooriyan bhi hai zaroori" from the film "Break Ke Baad".
On the acting front, she has featured in films like "Dhobi Ghat" and "David".
