makaveli is an unknown quantity at this point
Default Re: Use of singular or plural noun after 'any'

I could be wrong but I always thought it was the opposite. The use of any should be followed by a plural noun or uncountable e.g.

Do you have any brothers or sisters?

Have you got any unusual habits?

You wouldn't say:

Have you got any unusual habit?

Where you may be getting confused is in sentences where any is followed by an uncountable noun such as rice.

I haven't got any rice.

Regards


Mak.
