Aby's baby takes the mike

His father made the country jive to the tunes of Rang Barse in Silsila way back in 1981, he made the nation cry with Main Yahan Tu Wahan in Baghban and now it is time for son, Abhishek Bachchan to debut behind the microphone in Rohan Sippy’s Bluffmaster.
Even as the son sits beside his ailing father’s bed in Mumbai, prepare to groove to his track Right here, Right now from today on Channel V.
“We were choosing a track for a particular situation in the film and Abhishek walked into the studio. We got him to sing the song and after a good fifteen minutes we thought he did a good job. We made the song in two versions, one with the rap and one without, he has sung both of them,” says Rohan Sippy.
Abhishek will be accompanied by Sunidhi Chauhan in the track and Priyanka Chopra, on whom the song is picturised, will also pitch in, “I’m a good girl.”
Well, but it’s not only Aby’s Baby who will be singing to success. December will also see John Abraham and Sanjay Dutt sound their vocal chords with Pakistani duo Strings for Zinda saying Main Zinda Hoon (Ye hai meri kahani).
But that’s not it either, by the end of December theatre and silver screen veteran will debut as a singer for Naseeruddin Shah’s directorial debut Yun Hota To Kya Hota...What If. So gear up for a groovy December ahead.
