Ganpati Aarti video from Sarkar 3 sung by Amitabh Bachchan https://t.co/OpU5ymD4fg

Shot on a Mumbai beach, the aarti takes place during Ganparti Visarjan and features Amitabh, Ronit Roy and Amit Sadh praying to a larger-than-life multi-headed idol of the elephant God.
Amitabh Bachchan’s characteristic baritone does complete justice to the popular Ganpati aarti. In fact, it perfectly complements the goings-on in the track.

Talking about the song, the veteran actor told a section of the media, "There is something about the Ganesha Aarti that invokes great divinity; an emotion, that is rare and lasting. Sant Ramdas created this aarti in the 1600s in a raag (Raag Jogiya) that was befitting of great character and eminence. The words are in vernacular Marathi — a rarity for most other Hindu bhajans and devotional songs. Yet, the way the aarti has been structured, it cuts across all language barriers, if at all there are any."
As for lending his voice to it, he added, "I feel privileged and blessed, to have been asked to sing it for Sarkar 3. I sang the aarti for the Siddhivinayak Mandir at Prabhadevi, and when I discussed it with Ram Gopal Varma, I suggested that we do the same for the film as well. We have given it a different tone, but the sentiment, the emotion and the divinity remain in as much prominence as the original."
