Holi songs and Amitabh Bachchan go hand in hand - be it the vintage "Rang Barse" from "Silsila" or the new "Hori Khele Raghuveera" from "Baghban".

But come April, a catchy Holi song in one of Bachchan's most eagerly awaited films "Waqt - Race Against Time" will not feature the Big B.

The song features the sizzling pair of Akshay Kumar and Priyanka Chopra.

In fact, so amused was Bachchan when he saw the song that he requested director Vipul Shah to give him at least a cameo in the song. But that was not to be as the script would not allow it.

"Waqt..." will hit the theatres April 22.
