Abhishek and Aishwarya to do what Aamir and Kareena could not
Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor were supposed to do it but now husband and wife duo Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will do it instead. What are we talking about? Well, singing of course! Read on to find out more.
Music maestro A R Rahman had initially composed a song that would have been used for Mani Ratnam’s Lajjo. However, when that film got shelved, Rahman decided to use that same composition for Ravana. If Lajjo hadn’t been shelved, then that film’s stars Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor would have sung the vocal for this particular song. However, now that this composition is being used for Ravana, then it seems viable to use the vocals of its stars; Abhishek and Aishwarya.
Confirming the news, Rahman said, “Some of the songs in Lajjo were generic, so we have translocated them into Ravana. Such things happen once in a while. No regrets. There is no time for that. Regret is boring. Mani’s new film is a new genre for me. I’ve done nothing like this before. So that’s exciting.”
This will be the first time that both Abhi and Ash will have sung together for a song. Ravana, which may not be the film’s final title, also stars veteran actor Govinda in a role not to be missed. The film will release in 2009.
