Superstar Amitabh Bachchan is all set to get behind the mic once again. The actor confirmed on his official Twitter account that he has recorded a number for R Balki’s upcoming venture, Shamitabh, that also stars Dhanush and Akshara Haasan. Interestingly, Bachchan had sung a number each in his earlier ventures with Balki, Cheeni Kum and Paa. While in Baatein hawa hai from Cheeni Kum, Bachchan has singer Shreya Ghoshal for company, Mere paa from Paa was a solo number in Bachchan’s voice.
To confirm the news, the actor tweeted, “Balki and Shamitabh meet… Got to sing another song ..aarrrgghh !! I am hopeless at this… But guess will have to do it!!”
Although the name of the song sung by Bachchan has not been revealed yet, the song has been composed by Ilayaraja and penned by lyricist Swanand Kirkire. For now, we will have to wait and watch how the song turns out.
