After singing and composing, Shibani Kashyap is now moving on to acting. She makes her debut with director Faisal Saif's controversial film "Osama" - a love story that starts from Kashmir, travels to Afghanistan and ends at the World Trade Center.

"I am playing a cameo in the film. I play Osama's friend," Shibani told.

But the singer doesn't want to make acting her fulltime profession.

"As of now, I don't have any full-fledged acting ambitions because I am too busy with my music. I am doing film music and I have to complete my new album. So there isn't time for acting. I can take it as a hobby, not as a profession," said Shibani, who has to her credit hit tracks like "Zinda" and "Sajna aa bhi jaa".

While the singer has been a guest composer in all her previous works, she will compose the entire music score for "Osama", which stars Jackie Shroff, Gauri Karnik and Kader Khan and is being produced by Das Music. There are five songs in the film.

"Its true that this is my first film as a composer. Most of the songs are situational and I have already finished one song," she said.

Apart from this, her long collaboration with filmmaker Sanjay Gupta continues as she is singing for his upcoming ventures - "Woodstock Villa" that will introduce Anupam Kher's son Sikander Kher and his English art cinema "The Great Indian Butterfly", which stars Sandhya Mridul and Koel Purie.

In the two movies Shibani has composed and sung the songs titled "Dhokha dega dhokha khayega" and "Thodi thodi saanch" respectively.

The music of "Woodstock Villa", according to her, "sounds like something straight out of a James Bond track. It has an international feel to it". And about the song she is singing, Shibani said: "Though it cannot be slated as an item song, it is very groovy and catchy with a medium tempo. It is a deep, substantial and meaningful song. As far as my appearance in the video is concerned, it is not yet decided."

She added: "I am also doing Sanjay Gupta's 'Alibaug'."

Shibani is slowly but steadily creating a niche for himself in filmdom. She has also recently completed a song for Rohit Shetty's "Sunday" picturised on Esha Deol.
