After
the
Hanuman
Chalisa
set
to
a
trendy
youth-oriented
beat
,Amitabh
Bachchan
and
his
'Hanuman'(that's
how
the
composer
likes
to
see
himself)
are
coming
together
for
the
most
ambitious
musical
project
involving
the
Big
B.
It
would
be
a
musical
rendering
of
the
Bhagvat
Geeta
as
written
by
the
Big
B's
dad
Harivanshrai
Bachchan.
Says
the
Big
B,
"Aadesh
Shrivastav
and
I
will
now
be
collaborating
over
a
new
interpretation
of
the
Bhagavat
Geeta.
It's
one
of
my
father's
unknown
and
unacknowledged
masterpieces,
of
immense
literary
and
religious
value.
We'll
be
doing
a
musical
version
of
my
father's
Bhagavat
Gita
which
he
had
translated
into
the
language
and
meter
of
the
Ramayan.
In
this,
the
centenary
year
of
my
father's
existence
I
can
think
of
no
better
tribute," ends
the
proud
son
emotionally.
The
challenge
for
Aadesh
begins
now.
"It's
one
thing
for
me
to
collaborate
with
Bachchan
Saab
who's
like
an
elder
brother.
We've
done
every
kind
of
song
from
love
ballads
to
hip-hop
to
bhangra
to
Bhajans.
But
now
we're
talking
about
his
distinguished
father.
And
that
makes
my
responsibility
increase
several
times."
Aadesh
has
been
spending
sleepless
nights
pouring
over
the
senior-most
Bachchan's
lines.
"I
promise
you
I'll
come
up
with
tunes
that
will
do
Amitji's
father,
Amitji
and
me
proud," promises
Aadesh.
