Bachchan records a medley of his film songs in his own voice, and dances to it in a sequence choreographed by Remo d'Souza

Want to know what the bunch of foreign dancers, recently hackled by Maharashtra Navnirman Sena activists, are doing in Mumbai? They are shooting a lavish item number of course, but they're doing so with none other than Big B.

Amitabh Bachchan has sung and recorded a medley of his evergreen classics including Pag ghungroo (Namak Halaal), Khai ke paan Banaraswala (Don), Apni toh jaise taise (Lawaaris) and Jahan yeh teri nazar hai (Kaalia).

The dance has been choreographed by Remo D'Souza and will have Bachchan incorporate original steps from the films. Said a source, "Director Puri Jagannath and Remo sat down with Amitabh to decide the look, make-up, and steps that are an amalgamation of the original Big B classics."

While Bachchan and Puri remained tight-lipped about the item song, d'Souza was more forthcoming. "Yes, we're bringing together some classic songs of Mr Bachchan and we have got him to sing them. I've kept the original steps in mind. At the same time, I've given it a new spin."
