Amit Trivedi known for his distinct style of music has done it again with  Give it up For Bachchan. While folk and mystical has usually continued to be his terrain, Amit Trivedi with the track has ventured into a more popular tone of music this time.

Anurag Kashyap, who is the face of the Independent cinema scenario in India, has innovatively conceptualized a vivacious video for the song.
