Ganesh Chaturthi is only 3
days away. To mark the festival, Amitabh Bachchan has something special lined
up for all the devotees of Ganpati. The megastar has joined hands with the
officials of Mumbai’s famous temple, Siddhivinayak and recorded the Ganpati
aarti in his deep baritone. The Piku actor recorded the song at late Aadesh
Shrivastava’s studio recently.
We hear, the megastar will
also shoot a video for the song in the next few days. Portions of the song will
be shot inside the temple in Prabhadevi. The video will be directed by his Piku
director Shoojit Sircar while the music has been arranged by music director duo
Rohan-Vinayak.
It is still unclear whether
Big B’s version of the aarti will be played inside the temple during the 10-day
long festival. Ravi Jadhav, the Deputy Executive Officer of Siddhivinayak Trust
was quoted as saying, “There was a plan to have Amitabh Bachchan record the
aarti. But in the temple, the aarti is always sung live.”
Big B’s rendition of the
aarti will be available on the Internet as well as on CDs.
