Mumbai, Oct 27 (IANS): It is a baffling state of affairs. While T Series prepares for the music release of Ravi Chopra's family drama ‘Babul’ on Thursday, music composer Aadesh Shrivastava was busy till Wednesday night recording a song with his idol Amitabh Bachchan. “Amitji has sung two songs for 'Babul'. One of them needed technical correction. So, we had to re-do it,” Aadesh Shrivastav informs.
But then how can the music be released in an incomplete form? Aadesh shrugged. “I suppose it's just the release function. The marketing will happen after I submit the final song, though the decision is entirely the music company's.”
Aadesh is mighty excited about the music. “Amitji doesn't sing for any other composer these days. But he'd never say no to me. I'm his Hanuman. In fact I wanted him to sing one more track. But it's a Qawwalli. And Amitji wasn't comfortable with it." Apparently Amitabh wanted Shankar Mahadevan to sing the Qawwalli. And that would've been one more composer using another composer's voice, after A.R. Rahman getting Bappi Lahiri to sing in ‘Guru’ and Pritam inviting Vishal Dadlani to croon ‘Dhoom 2’. “I opted for good old Sudesh Bhosle who does a superb take-off on the Amitji baritone."
Also the music release of the album of ‘Baabul’ will be an unusual and extraordinary affair. The star cast of Baabul including Amitabh Bachchan, Hema Malini, Salman Khan, Rani Mukherji and John Abraham will walk on the ramp with their screen looks in the film on Thursday during the music release of the film. They will wear different looks designed by Neeta Lulla, Alvira Khan, Narendra Kumar Ahmed and Sabyasachi. There will be few more attractions like fusion Bhangra and hip-hop and rap songs in Big B’s voice. Also Sonu Nigam will also present a classical number ‘Baawri Piya’.
