Over the years, Amitabh Bachchan has lent his voice to some iconic songs. But it is for the first time that the megastar has composed a score for a film. The ace star has turned music composer for R Balki’s Chup.
The filmmaker says, “It all happened very impromptu. I had asked Amitji to see the movie (Chup). After seeing it, he called me over and he played me a tune on his piano and said that’s what the movie and the characters made him feel. He was very touched. I was ecstatic. I asked him if I could use the tune and he immediately gifted it to the movie. Today Chup is the first film that has got Amitji’s official composition as the score for the credits.”
The star cast includes Sunny Deol, Dulquer Salmaan, and Pooja Bhatt. Directed by R Balki and produced by Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, Anil Naidu, Dr. Jayantilal Gada (PEN Studios) and Gauri Shinde, the original story is by R Balki too. The music directors are SD Burman, Amit Trivedi, Sneha Khanwalkar and Aman Pant, while the lyrics are by Sahir Ludhianvi, Kaifi Azmi, Swanand Kirkire. Chup: The Revenge of the Artist is scheduled to release on 23rd September 2022.
