The superstar has been roped in to shake his leg especially for a song.
It was Amitabh Bachchan and not Abhishek on whom Aishwarya Rai drooled in the Kajra Re song in the last year’s comedy Bunty Aur Babli . And Big B verily proved in the song that he can give tough competition to the actors half his age when it comes to hitting the dance floor.
Age notwithstanding, Mr. Bachchan has now been asked for another dance number by director Shaad Ali in his next movie Jhoom Barabar Jhoom which stars Abhishek Bachchan , Preity Zinta , Bobby Deol and Lara Dutta . Amitabh plays the sutradhar in the film. He will also make a one-song appearance for the title track Jhoom Barabar Jhoom.
Incidentally, like Kajra Re, this song too is composed by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy. Moreover, the song, written by Gulzar, is a semi-qawwali. It remains to be seen whether Alisha Chinai will sing it.
Reports have it that the director, choreographer and the musicians are aiming to make it another superhit song like Kajra Re.
