Raftaar 'would love to act in South Indian film'

New Delhi: Rapper Raftaar, who has created waves with songs like "Dhup Chik" and "Instagram Love", says if he ever gets an opportunity to act, he would like to star in a South Indian film.

"To be very honest, if I ever try acting, I would act in a South Indian film. That is where I am from and that is what I naturally feel," Raftaar, whose real name is Dilin Nair, told IANS over phone. 

The 28-year-old musician, who has his roots in Kerala, feels he will "do good in a Malayalam movie". 

"If something comes my way, I will definitely do it because I love representing where I am from. But I have not given anything back to Kerela yet," added the "Tamanche Pe Disco" crooner, who is known for Punjabi rap. 

On the work front, Raftaar has crooned a number for the upcoming actioner "Dishoom" titled "Toh dishoom". The film features actors Varun Dhawan, John Abraham and Jacqueline Fernandez.
