Actor Amitabh Dayal croons a song to ‘smoke’ out corruption – With millions of people involved in the fight against corruption, and Anna Hazare on his third fast against the government on the issue, is it surprising if sensitive actors and filmmakers also do their bit for the cause? Actor Amitabh Dayal is one of them. In an uncanny coincidence, the actor – known for impressive performances in films like Kagaar – Living On the Edge and Viruddh – Family Comes First – will be recording a song about the scourge of corruption on December 27, the very day the Anna Hazare begins his fast in Mumbai.
Amitabh, whose soon to be released film Dhuaan dwells on the issue of pollution, said that he felt the need to dedicate this song to the nation. “As a nation, all of us had some dreams when we became independent. But those dreams have not been fulfilled. Instead we find that every Indian is fighting against corruption at every step today. The nation needed to be awakened. And that is precisely what is happening now. Our song is also dedicated to this same cause,” he said.
Sung by Amitabh Dayal, Jojo and Javed Ali, the unique composition by Rajendra Shiv and interesting lyrics by Faiz Anwar might just add some more energy to the already charged atmosphere. In fact, the theme of the song has attracted several Bollwywood celebrities, including Amitabh Dayal, Faiz Anwar, Jojo, Javed Ali, Rajendra Shiv, Mudasir Ali, Vivek Prakash, Narendra Singh graced the event.
The music of Amitabh Dayal’s film Dhuaaan is also set to be released soon. Apart from Amitabh Dayal, the film, directed by Mrunalinni Dayal, stars Raj Babbar, Rati Agnihotri, Padmini Kolhapure and Vikram Gokhale among several others.
