After
singing
for
30
years
in
films,
his
first
song
was
recorded
for
Mr.
Natwarlal
in
1979.
Amitabh
Bachchan
has
joined
vocal
forces
with
a
trained
and
renowned
vocalist
like
Rashid
Khan,
the
singer
whom
the
formidable
classical
maestro
Pandit
Bhimsen
Joshi
had
once
chosen
as
his
successor.
The
coming
together
of
India"s
most
popular
actor
and
part-time
singer
with
the
classical
maestro
happened
for
the
album
Sound
Of
Peace,
dedicated
to
the
victims
of
Mumbai"s
26/11
terrorist
attack.
Aadesh
Shrivastava
who
helmed
the
project,
composed
its
music
and
is
in
the
process
of
finalizing
a
music
video
featuring
the
Big
B
and
Rashid
Khan,
says
the
Big
B
simply
swam
across
Sameer"s
words
of
world-peace.
The
Big
B
confirms
modestly,
“Yes,
Rashid
Khan
and
I
have
sung
together.
The
system
of
recording
these
days
allows
a
lot
of
freedom
to
sing
how
one
is
comfortable.
That"s
how
I
managed
it."
The
music
video
which
efforts
are
on
to
get
Ashutosh
Gowarikar
to
direct
will
feature
Big
B
with
Rashid
Khan
and
Aadesh
Shrivastava.
Footage
from
the
barbaric
occurrences
during
26/11
from
2008
in
Mumbai
will
be
interspersed
with
scenes
from
9/11
in
the
US
from
2001
and
the
London
subway
bombings
of
2005.
Says
Aadesh,
“We
initially
planned
to
make
this
a
Hindi-Urdu
album
in
memory
of
the
26/11
victims.
But
we"ve
now
expanded
it
into
a
comment
on
global
terrorism.
Mr.
Bachchan
is
now
in
the
process
of
recording
an
English
version
of
the
peace
song."
