The Bollywood veteran makes his debut as a playback singer in ‘Mr. Prime Minister'. He has sung the title track himself in two rap versions - English and Hindi.
Dev Anand's favourite music composer Bappi Lahiri, along with newcomer Darshan Dave, has composed the movie's soundtrack. Lahiri has recorded some hip-hop and pop musical tunes that are clubbed with rap lyrics rendered by Dev Anand, Kuku Prabhas, Imran Ahmed Khan and Darshan Dave.
"I think the music is fantastic and Dev Anand has himself sung a rap song in the film. It's a very hip-hop song. The film has also got a very beautiful theme song. All the songs have been picturised in a very beautiful manner. The background music is also fantastic," said Lahiri.
‘Mr Prime Minister' focusses on the 9/11 bombing on the US. It is a satire on the political system with Dev Anand as the protagonist. Boman Irani and ‘Page 3' star Tara Sharma play pivotal roles in the film.
"I think it's going to be an interesting film as it's a political satire. So, I think it's going to be a different film, and my role is also very different, as I play a terrorist in the movie. And I am quite excited," said Tara Sharma.
Though there are only three songs in the album, the soundtrack is purely situational and gels with the script of the film. It is slated for release next month.
