Bachchan turned lyricist and composer for Badumba song that features in his latest release. When asked whether he would compose more songs going ahead, he said: “When we were shooting later part of the film, I told Umesh that we are missing a happy song in the film and therefore, the younger generation will not come to see it.”
“As Umesh said there is no space for such song in the film, I said I will compose one song. When Umesh listened to the composition, he really liked it and that’s how it came about.”
The Piku actor said he had always been fond of music. “So, I am working on a subject very diligently… I want to compose poems of Babuji (Harivansh Rai Bachchan) and I want to sing it in same ‘sur’ he would do by adding some music to it.”
Big B also revealed that his father’s famous poem Madhushala was already recorded. “We have recorded Madhushala that I will present probably in a month. There are lots of other poems which we are working on.”
