I sing when asked by filmmakers, says Big B

Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan says that he sings when he is requested to do so by film makers.

Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan, who is playing a ghost in his next release ‘Bhoothnath’, has lent his baritone voice to two songs in the film and is planning to sing for another movie Aladdin.

Talking about his singing talent which was evident in films like Don and Lawaaris, the Big B said, “when filmmakers ask me to sing, I do.” Asked how he felt about singing, he said on a humourous note mera gala baith gaya hai gaate gaate (my throat is sore singing songs).

He also said that around July-August he was planning to go on a tour which would cover performances across the Western Hemisphere and next year in the Far East.
