Amitabh Bachchan’s majestic baritone for Sarkar 3’s Ganesh Aarti!



Megastar Amitabh Bachchan is back angrier than ever in Ram Gopal Varma's Sarkar 3  Along with the return of the angry young man, senior Bachchan has also turned singer yet again for the movie. He has lent his voice for the soulful Ganpati aarti which is sure to stir your soul. 

The song which has been launched today has been composed by Rohan Vinayak and has been set during Ganpati Visarjan. Shot on a Mumbai beach, the song features a multiheaded Ganesh idol adding various hues- giving it a larger than life feeling. 

Talking about the song, Mr. Bachchan's raw and powerful voice is certainly one of the major highlights. Amongst several Ganesh aartis sung till date, Big B's voice gives a refreshing feel to it. The heaviness in his voice surely adds to the thrill. 

The song has a dramatic vibe to it which seems to be a turning point in this political thriller inspired narrative. With Amit Sadh, Yami Gautam chasing sequence to several glimpses of a political coup going on the background, the song is sure to add to one's excitement.

Well, this is not the first time, the senior actor has lent his voice for a movie. Earlier too, Big has sung some popular songs like Rang Barse, Mere Angne Mein, Hori Khere among others. 

Also, using Ganesh aarti amidst a chasing and confrontational climax has always managed to invoke a certain kind of reaction from the audience as it tugs at one's heartstrings like nothing else.  

Talking about the song, a leading daily quoted the senior Bachchan saying, "There is something about the 'Ganesha Aarti' that invokes great divinity; an emotion, that is rare and lasting. Sant Ramdas created this aarti in the 1600s in a raag (Raag Jogiya), that was befitting of great character and eminence. The words are in vernacular Marathi — a rarity for most other Hindu bhajans and devotional songs. Yet, the way the aarti has been structured, it cuts across all language barriers, if at all there are any." 

About lending his voice to it, he said, "I feel privileged and blessed, to have been asked to sing it for 'Sarkar 3'. I sang the aarti for the Siddhivinayak Mandir at Prabhadevi, and when I discussed it with Ram Gopal Varma, I suggested that we do the same for the film as well. We have given it a different tone, but the sentiment, the emotion and the divinity remain in as much prominence as the original."


Apart from Amitabh, Sarkar 3 has an ensemble cast which includes Amit Sadh, Yami Gautam, Manoj Bajpayee, Jackie Shroff and Ronit Roy in the lead roles. The movie is slated to release on May 12, 2017.
