“Growing up in England, I was all over every fairytale,” Collins told The Hollywood Reporter. “I loved Snow White, loved Aladdin. I knew all the words to all the songs. I was the kid that pressed rewind all the time.”

While Tarsem Singh’s retelling shares little in common with Disney’s adaptation, Collins does show off her vocal skills with a Bollywood-inspired dance number during the end credits.

“It's so funny, I really want everyone to know because everyone's like, ‘That wasn't you,’ and I'm like, ‘It really was!’” Collins told THR. “I went into the sound studio, into a sound booth, and I recorded it and the dwarves recorded bits in the melodies. This was my first experiment with going out there and singing -- Bollywood, nonetheless.”

“I never thought I'd be doing that,” she continued. “It was so much fun and I've always loved singing, writing songs and kind of experimenting with that. I wouldn't say that it's my goal right now to come out with an album or anything, but it's so much a part of who I am and if there's a movie like this one that involves singing, I think that's kind of the perfect way to segue into it and experiment.”

So would Collins be open to pursuing a musical in the same vein of Hairspray, Mamma Mia or Rock of Ages?

“Yeah, why not? I used to do musicals on stage and in plays,” the actress replied. “I had so much fun with that and I think that’s a whole other element to add to a film. I enjoy watching them myself, so yeah, I’d love to do a musical.”
