Singer Hardy Sandhu, who is also an actor, is back with another film titled ‘Code Name: Tiranga’ in which he will be seen alongside Parineeti Chopra.

An espionage action thriller is a story of a spy on an unfaltering and fearless mission for her nation in a race against time where sacrifice is her only choice. Hardy, who was last seen in ‘83’, says that acting and singing are interconnected. “A singer brings out a lot of emotion while singing and the same is with acting so singing and acting are very close to each other. The only difference is that in singing, you show emotion while acting and in singing, you do it with songs so I think they both are connected.”

Talking about how his musical journey started, Hardy, who was in the capital for a Puma event, said that he has been singing since he was four-year-old. “My parents discovered my talent early and gave me the platform to perform on stage and since then, there has been no looking back. My first love, however, was always cricket but I got injured so I decided that singing is my second passion and I moved here.”

The singer says that he has learned semi-classical too just to hone his skills as a musician. “Rest cricket helped me learn hard work.”

'Code Name: Tiranga' will be released on October 14 2022 in theaters.
