Amitabh sings lullaby in ‘Thugs’

Amitabh Bachchan has sung a few lines of a lullaby for the forthcoming film Thugs Of Hindostan.

Bachchan said the song portrays the depth of the bond between his character Khudabaksh, who is mentor to Zafira, played by Fatima Sana Shaikh.

“I was most excited to sing this lullaby because it is not everyday that you get to sing one,” Bachchan said in a statement.

The lullaby has been composed by the duo Ajay-Atul and Amitabh Bhattacharya has written the lyrics.

“The lyrics are beautiful and the composition highlights the emotional journey of these two characters who have an incredible father-daughter relationship. I have been telling [producer] Aditya [Chopra] to put this in the album. I’m sure he will do it because it’s turned out to be a beautiful song,” he added.

According to a source: “Mr Bachchan was so kicked about singing this lullaby that he decided to record it himself and that too at his home.”

Thugs Of Hindostan releases in the UAE tomorrow.
