Amitabh on singing spree

Mumbai, Oct 26 (IANS) At 65, Amitabh Bachchan remains indefatigable. Even as he continues to shoot, juggling Mumbai, Goa and Delhi, he has found the energy and time to record three songs for composer duo Vishal-Shekhar's films 'Bhootnath' and 'Alladdin'.

He recorded two rap songs and one ballad.

'That's not all. One more song remains to be recorded for Sujoy Ghosh's 'Alladin' as soon as I return to Mumbai,' the Big B told IANS.

In debutant director Vivek Sharma's 'Bhootnath', he plays a ghost.

'I've sung a rap song for Vishal-Shekhar for my ghost's character in 'Bhootnath' and another rap song for my djinn's character in 'Alladdin'. Plus, I recorded a soft lyrical number for 'Bhootnath'. I'll record one more song for 'Alladin'.'

The composer duo has been working on a non-film album of Abhishek Bachchan's hip-hop for producer Rohan Sippy for the last one year. That too will have singing inputs from Bachchan.

'It looks like the music composers are thinking of an alternative career for me. They obviously don't think much of me as an actor,' the Big B jokes before flying off to the London Film Festival for Rituparno Ghosh's 'The Last Lear'.
