/> The Baabul title song is unarguably Amitabh Bachchan's most poignant number ever. It reduced even the pragmatic Jaya Bachchan to tears.

What's possibly the Big B's career's best song is missing from the album. Instead it's rendered by Jagjit Singh.

A strange state of affairs since AB has composed the song and took time off to record it.

Curiously Bhooshan Kumar of T Series who have released the Baabul album has no knowledge of the Big B's contribution to the theme song.

"Has Amitji really composed the number? I wasn't aware of this. All I know is that he has sung the number. I believe Aadesh Shrivastava recorded it last week. We've released the music that was given to us by the producers.

And the contains Jagjit Singh's theme song/ We were told that Amitji will dub the song later and that we should add it in the second edition of the music."

So why the rush to release the music? "BR Films and Ravi Chopra had an event planned. The music release had to coincide with that," explains Bhooshan.

Aadesh admits the whole rush-release has created an awkward situation. "Jagjit Singh did ask me what was the arrangement. I explained to him that there're two distinct versions of the theme song. Each time Amitji comes on screen we'll be playing his version."

Will the Big B be credited for his song? "He doesn't want any credit. He just loves creating music with me. In fact we'll soon be doing a whole album of UP folks songs together. Amitji told me, 'Aadesh, let's get together and freak out.'
