According to a PTI report, the family and the trust instituted the award in the memory of Lata Mangeshkar after the melody queen, who was the eldest of the five Mangeshkar siblings, died in 2022 following multiple organ failure.

Amitabh Bachchan received the award by Usha Mangeshkar on the Memorial Day of Deenanath Mangeshkar, the theatre-music veteran and father of Mangeshkar siblings. Prime Minister Narendra Modi was the first recipient of Lata Deenanath Mangeshkar Puraskar, followed by Asha Bhosle in 2023.

On the work front, the megastar will be next seen in Prabhas starrer Kalki 2898 AD. The actioner also stars Deepika Padukone.
