Amitabh Bachchan croons for Ilaiyaraaja in Paa.
Amitabh Bachchan’s latest film Paa, sees him crooning to the tunes of the legendary Ilaiyaraaja in his childish voice in the track ‘Mere Paa‘. With Amitabh Bachchan on vocals as a thirteen-year-old, Ilaiyaraaja deserves all praise for getting the music just right to fit Big B’s voice.
“Yes I was in his divine presence for just a few moments,” said Amitabh Bachchan when asked on his recording with the legendary Ilaiyaraaja. Commenting on how challenging it is for him to portray two very different characters in both Aladin and Paa, Amitabh says, “Yes both have been very challenging. Both have been very demanding physically. At my age it gets tough.”
On his character in Paa, Amitabh Bachchan adds that he has not drawn inspiration from his childhood, but the childhood of his children and grandchildren. He says, “A lot of my interpretation has been picked up from what I remember of Abhishek when he was that age and from my grandchildren now as I see them grow.”
