While he is yet to sign on the dotted line for the Marvel association, his other international collaborations with rapper Snoop Dogg and singer Akon are complete. Acting has also been keeping him busy. He recently made a cameo in the TV show Ladies Special. "I have acted in so many films, including Kalakaar. I had done Indian Idol, but this (Ladies Special) is the first time that I worked on a TV show. It's today's story about women travelling by a train and making friends during their journey," he said. In the show, he acted as a musician providing a platform to new talent.

"In real life also, I have always encouraged new singers. I had introduced many singers, including Usha Uthup and Alisha Chinai. So, my character is the way I am in real life," said the 'Yaar bina chain kahan re' hitmaker. The artiste with about a 50-year-long career has even been a film director. After helming a documentary called We Are One, he is set to direct a musical. "This year, I am directing a movie titled Ek Adhura Sangeet," said Bappi. What about a film on his life?

"Yes, a lot of people are approaching me to make a film on my life but I haven't finalised anything. The biopic should start by this year," he said. "Ranveer Singh could probably play my younger version... you know the 1970s, 80s and 90s time," he added.
