Mumbai: Amitabh Bachchan, who has lent his baritone to the poetry of Sahir Ludhianvi and Javed Akhtar in classics like Kabhi Kabhie and Silsila, will recite a poem written by director Rumi Jaffery for his upcoming film Chehre. The actor will shoot for it Monday.
“Shekhar Ravjiani has composed the tune beautifully. And now Amit ji will lend his matchless voice and add another dimension altogether to the track. He is a perfectionist and everything he does, be it a small movement before the camera, an action sequence, a close-up, a song he has to hum, or just be silent, he gives the moment his all,” said producer Anand Pandit.

Chehre is a mystery thriller directed by Rumi Jaffery and also stars Emraan Hashmi, Annu Kapoor, Krystle D’Souza, Dhritiman Chatterjee, Raghubir Yadav, Siddhanth Kapoor and Rhea Chakraborty.
