News India Live, Digital Desk: Untold Bollywood Stories : Aisa Jadu Dala Re… Kajrare Kajrare Tere Kare Kare Naina!” – Even today, on hearing these lines, the feet start tapping on their own. This song from the movie ‘Bunty Aur Babli’ is still the life of the parties. Whenever it plays, that explosive dance of Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai comes before our eyes. But do you know that something happened during the recording of this superhit song, which Remembering singer and composer Shankar Mahadevan still makes you smile?
Shankar Mahadevan himself narrated this story on the stage of a reality show. He told how the megastar of the century Amitabh Bachchan had given him a funny “threat” for this song.
What was the whole matter?
This incident happened at that time when the recording of the song ‘Kajraare’ was going on. One part of the song was at a very high pitch. When Amitabh Bachchan came to the recording studio, he told Shankar that perhaps he would not be able to sing such a high note. Citing his age, he said, “Shankar ji, this will not be possible for me.”
Hearing this, Shankar also got lost in thought for a moment. But he had full confidence in his tune and Amitabh Bachchan’s voice. He explained to Big B and assured him that this part would sound great in his voice. On the persuasion of Shankar Mahadevan, Amitabh Bachchan agreed to sing.
And then I got that ‘threat’
Amitabh Bachchan went in front of the mike and sang that difficult part so beautifully in one take that everyone present in the studio was astonished.
After finishing the recording, Amitabh Bachchan put down the mike, pointed his finger towards Shankar Mahadevan and said jokingly in his known heavy tone, “Shankar! What are you making me do at this age? Meet me outside, I will see you.”
On hearing this, everyone present there laughed. Shankar Mahadevan tells that that was the nobility of Amitabh Bachchan. He knew that he could sing it, but still he gave full respect to the composer. This humorous threat is still a beautiful memory for Shankar Mahadevan, which shows how simple and funny a person Amitabh Bachchan is in his work, despite being such a big superstar.
