/> We all have grown up hearing the lines of Harivanshrai Bachchan's Madhushala as sung by the great Manna Dey and composed by the great late Jaidev.

But now comes the surprise. Harivanshrai Bachchan's equally- distinguished son Amitabh Bachchan has in his hands the lines of Madhushala as tuned by his father. The fact that the immortal Harivansh had actually composed a tune for his lines comes as a complete surprise.

Says the Big B, "I sang Madhushala recently at a live performance the way my father had composed and sung it. That is the original tune for Madhushala. My father sang it that way from Day One...with no orchestra of course."

Now the proud son who has lately been delving into his father's lines repeatedly for inspiration says will record the original version of Madhushala as composed by his father as soon as he has the time. And with a lavish and lucid orchestra done in full dolby-digital glory so that Madhushala becomes accessible to the youngest generations.

It would be one of the Big B's major assignments this year considering he has cut down on his film assignments.

Though he says he finds the Madhushala as composed by Jaidev and sung by Manna Dey to be good, it's now time for the Big B to restore to his father's lines the tune the great Harivanshrai Bachchan had given it.

So Madhushala written and composed by Harivanshrai Bachchan and sung by his son...a historic event in the world of poetry for sure.
