Amitabh Bachchan Says He'll Try His Hand At Making Music Next: 'Had Shekhar Over To Just Jam And...'

Amitabh Bachchan is currently basking in the praise of Kalki 2898 AD. However, he has also been spending time with composer and singer Shekhar Ravjiani, jamming to his music. Amitabh Bachchan said that the jamming sessions have had such an impact on him that he shall try to make music, if possible.

Amitabh Bachchan wrote in his blog, “At work in the Studio was a delight… had the dearest Shekhar over to just jam and spend time with his music and appreciate its lasting spell on all that he is doing and getting his appreciation of wanting to do some together… He is far too gracious in his observations for me, but if feasible, shall give it a try and make music!!!”

This is not the first time that Amitabh Bachchan will be stepping into the musical world. The actor has previously tried playback singing with Rang Barse in Silsila, Mere Angne Main in Laawaris, Atrangi Yaari in Wazir, Ekla Chalo Re in Kahaani and Piddly Si Baatein in Shamitabh among others. However, Amitabh hasn’t been involved in the composition part.

Meanwhile, Kalki 2898 AD has emerged as one of the biggest films of 2024. The Telugu film, which stars Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan, has earned a whopping Rs 700 crore worldwide in just one week. Kalki 2898 AD’s production house, Vyjayanthi Movies confirmed that the film has surpassed the Rs 700 Cr mark in the film’s opening week.

The film heavily draws inspiration from Mahabharat. The film is set in a dystopian future and revolves around four people — a pregnant woman named Sumathi (Deepika Padukone), who is said to be carrying a child that is the 10th avatar of Vishnu; the immortal Ashwatthama (played by Amitabh Bachchan) who has been tasked to protect the unborn child; a ruthless villain named Supreme Yaskin (Kamal Haasan), who wants the child dead for he knows the child will be the end of the baddie; and Bhairava (Prabhas), a bounty hunter who would sell anyone in return of money.
