"It is not practical for a playback singer to sing all the songs of a particular movie today. Earlier, a singer used to sing for a particular actor like Mukesh was the voice of Raj Kapoor and Kishore Kumar was the screen voice for Rajesh Khanna. I hope to sing for Shah Rukh Khan and Ranbir Kapoor someday," Tiwari said.
The Kanpur boy has also sung the theme song of Star Parivaar Awards 2013, slated to take place this week.
Tiwari says he has not tried to imitate or match Rafi in the song but hopes audience like it.
"Every singer has his own way of singing. I have sung the song keeping in mind the fact that it talks about family where as the original was a romantic number. Comparing it with the original version would be wrong as I am nowhere next to the Rafi saab," said Tiwari.
It was 'Khoob Ladi Mardani', a song that he composed on 'Rani Lakshmi Bai' that gave Tiwari a chance to sing in Mohit Suri's 'Aashiqui 2'.
"When 'Aashiqui' came I was only three. I never thought that there will be a remake and I will get a chance to sing in that movie," he said.
