Subhash K Jha

He's been singing since Mr Natwarlal in 1978. But now the Big B after singing his own songs for 30 years, isn't willing to stop short in his tracks. In fact he's now gone into devotional singing for an album of the 'Hanuman Chalisa' being composed by Aadesh Shrivastava who calls himself the Big B's 'Hanuman'.

The new Chalisa will have a whole lot of male playback singers contributing. But the Big B leads the pack. So happy is the mega-star with Aadesh's work that he intends to now record a version of the Bhagavat Gita done by the Big B's father Harivanshrai Bachchan with music by Aadesh.

The devoted composer couldn't have hoped for more. "Amitji sang his first Punjabi-pop song for me in Major Saab. Now he's sung his first devotional for me. I also got Abhishek to sing recently."

Jaya and Aishwarya are yet to join Aadesh's crooning club.
