A new version of the popular light and sound show of the Somnath temple will feature the voice of veteran Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan. The temple trust's general manager Vijay Chawda said that the show would be upgraded. “The current version has voices of Bollywood actors Amrish Puri and Paresh Raval. The next show will be in a three dimensional version and have Amitabh Bachchan's voice. The Tourism Corporation of Gujarat has already talked to Bachchan in this regard and he has given his nod,” said Chawda.
The entire upgrade will take nearly six to eight months to take shape. While the script is currently being prepared, the dubbing will take place in two to three months, as per Chawda. Amitabh Bachchan is the brand ambassador of Gujarat Tourism and his 'Khusbu Gujarat Ki' advertisement has been commended by all.
The laser based light and sound show, which throws light on the historic and mythological background of the temple also famous for its grandeur, is organised after evening aarti behind the temple and is very popular among visitors.
