It was meant to be a proxy recording.Amitabh Bachchan had recorded the title song of Paa in the juvenile voice of his 12-year-old character Auro at Aadesh Shrivastava’s studio two weeks ago. The track has been composed by music maestro Ilaiyaraaja, who had sent across the track from Chennai.
Last night Balki, who was in Chennai, laughed and said, “I guess someone up there was listening. Our recording in Mumbai of Amitji’s number suffered a leakage in the headphone. The song had to be re-done all over again. So here we are in Chennai. We’ve just recorded the title number again, this time with Amitji and Ilaiyaraaja face to face.”
Balki and Bachchan wanted to keep the very special recording a secret and reveal the coming together of the two stalwarts at a later time. via:mumbaimirror |
