Amitabh Bachchan's wish of recording a song in Ilaiyaaraja's presence was fulfilled when he had to record Paa's title song all over again

It was meant to be a proxy recording. Amitabh Bachchan had recorded the title song of Paa in the juvenile voice of his 12-year-old character Auro at Aadesh Shrivastava’s studio two weeks ago. The track has been composed by music maestro Ilaiyaraaja, who had sent across the track from Chennai. While Amitabh privately regretted the fact that he couldn’t record in the presence of Ilaiyaaraja, the actor’s wish was fulfilled last evening. Director Balki and Amitabh realised that they’d have to re-record the entire song because the recording in Mumbai went kaput. Balki, who was in Chennai, laughed and said, “I guess someone up there was listening. Our recording in Mumbai of Amitji’s number suffered a leakage in the headphone. The song had to be re-done all over again. So here we are in Chennai. We’ve just recorded the title number again, this time with Amitji and Ilaiyaraaja face to face.” Amitabh Bachchan rendered the number perfectly prompting the Chennai-based music maverick to wonder how a 67-year-old man could sing the number in a 12-year old’s voice so perfectly. Balki and Bachchan wanted to keep the very special recording a secret and reveal the coming together of the two stalwarts at a later time. |
