Amitabh Bachchan displayed his singing skills for the first time in Yash Chopra's Kabhi Kabhie. And now he is rendering his 25th song in Ravi Chopra's Bhoothnath – Mere Buddy with little champs contestant Aamir Hafiz. He has also sung a song with Juhi Chawla.
We asked Ravi Chopra about it. He was not aware about the milestone but said, "I have had a long association with Amitji. Even in Baghban he sang two songs which are still remembered by the audience so it's an honour for me that with Bhoothnath he has reached the milestone."
Praising Amitabh, he says, "At his prevailing age it was very difficult for any one to sing but I'm very glad that he has maintained freshness in his voice. He practiced it for two hours before the final recording."
Director Vivek Sharma adds, "Amitji has good knowledge of singing. We are working on the promotional video and he is giving valuable suggestions. The promotional video is being composed by Vishal –Shekhar. He is a living legend and a versatile actor."
We hope Big B continues to entertain us both with his acting and singing.
