It all started with a joke. Abhishek jokingly proposed to sing a song for Rohan Sippy's Bluffmaster that stars Abhishek, Ritesh Deshmukh and Priyanka Chopra in the lead roles.
Rohan took Abhi's joke and converted it into a reality by making the emerging star actually wield the microphone for a funky number titled 'Right Here Right Now'.
The song has been composed by Vishal-Shekhar and directed, choreographed by Farah Khan .
Abhishek is quoted as saying about his singing experience: "It was a terrifying experience. It all started with a joke with me proposing to sing the song. Rohan caught my bluff and insisted that I actually sing it. Vishal and Shekhar have done a fantastic job and made it a great track. So I cannot take any credit if it sounds good."
When Farah Khan heard the song, she offered to direct it. The song was subsequently canned in just two days of shooting.
The number features Abhishek with four beauties – Carol Gracias, Pia Trivedi, Scherzade Shroff and Anchal Kumar. The video also has appearances by Ritesh, Priyanka, Rohan and Vishal-Shekhar.
The song will most likely appear in the end credits of 'Bluffmaster'.
The movie has Abhishek playing a conman. It is slated to hit the theatres on December 16.
