Mumbai, Oct 5 (IANS): Actor Aparshakti Khurana says he utilised the lockdown days to write and compose songs.

"We had so much time during lockdown. I can only write and compose when I have my guitar around me, and luckily I hadn't left my guitar in the studio. It was with me. I managed to pen some songs. A few compositions were also done by me. A couple of them were collaborations. Let's see which single gets shortlisted by the music label and we will cut a video soon, " he said.

Aparshakti wants one of his songs to be used in a film.

"All the songs are mostly singles, except one song I'm planning to give for film. That's the song closest to my heart. I would love to do a music single on that song, but I think it fits the situation of the film very well," he added.

Aparshakti, who has been enthralling fans with his performances -- particularly comedy roles -- in Bollywood films, is all set for his first release as a solo hero. The film titled "Helmet" is a romantic comedy co-starring Nutan's grand-daughter, Pranutan.

In the past, Aparshakti has sung songs like "Kudiye ni" and "Teri yaari".
