Amitabh Bachchan may have sung numerous songs for his films but the legendry actor surprised musical duo Vishal & Shekhar while recording a song for Eros International’s “Aladin”’ (pictured above). The song in question is “O Re Saawariya” that is already famous for Big B’s signature pink pagadi and white kurta from his “Namak Halaal” days. The song is sung by Sudesh Bhonsle. While working on the song, at the spur of the moment Amitabh Bachchan came up with an ‘alaap’ and hearing that the music directors Vishal and Shekhar decided to incorporate the ‘alaap’ in the song.Says Vishal, “The alaap at the end of the song was never planned. Mr. Bachchan came up with this impromptu addition which turned out so well that we decided to make it a part of the song.” What impressed everyone all the more, was the fact that Big B, who is not really professionally trained, was able to sing it so well. “Doing an alaap is not easy and requires thorough practice. But Amitji did it wonderfully and that’s really amazing,” adds Vishal.
