Amitabh Bachchan is a man of many hats. In his 54 years of being in the industry, he has been an actor, a singer, and even a producer. Now, he turned composer for R Balki’s upcoming film ‘Chup’. The movie stars Dulquer Salmaan, Sunny Deol, Shreya Dhanwanthary and Pooja Bhatt, and has been described as a tribute to the late filmmaker Guru Dutt.
Speaking in an interview, Balki said, “It will happen very impromptu. I asked Amitji to see the movie. After seeing it, he called me over and he played me a tune on his piano and said that’s what the movie and the characters made me feel. He was very touched. I was ecstatic. I asked him if I could use the tune and he immediately gifted it to the movie. Today Chup is the first film that has Amitji’s official composition as the score for the credits.”
The movie is touted to be a psychological thriller, which will be released theatrically on September 23. Talking about the film, Balki said in a statement last year, “Chup is an ode to the sensitive artist, and Guru Dutt is right on top of that list. I have had the story for a long time and I am glad we finally wrote it and are almost done filming it.”
