Superstar Salman Khan is all geared up for his forthcoming film ‘Baaabul’. TIMES NOW’s Niha Siddiqui elicits Salman’s views on working with Amitabh Bachchan and also on working with John Abraham, an actor with whom Salman was rumoured to have had a tiff.

Salman also speaks about his equation with the BIg B and also his hot and cold relation with John Abraham.

Director Ravi Chopra’s ‘’Baabul’ boasts of a huge star cast, from superstar Amitabh Bachchan, to Rani Mukherjee, to Hema Malini, to salman khan, to John Abraham. You name them and you have all of them under one roof in this family drama.

Salman Khan who is best at emotional roles, plays the role of Amtabh Bachchan’s son. as he comes together with the Big B for the second time after ‘Baghban’. TIMES NOW finds out his views on their chemistry.

On Amitabh Bachchan, Salman said, “He is a living legend, I think he is the best to work with. Infact he’s so good that he increases the other person’s capacity, he lifts the performance of his co stars.”

It seems like things have pretty much eased out between Salman and John Abraham, the actors were rumoured to be involved in a cold war over an issue that involved actor Katrina Kaif.

But as the saying goes that time is the best healer, it definitely holds true in this case. Salman seems to have forgotten the issue and is all praise for the young actor.

“He is damn good in the film. I had just two scenes with him in the film so i couldn’t gauge his talent in those two scenes. But from what I’ve seen in the rushes, he has looked very good and has danced very well.”, averred Salman.

With most of the cast repeated from the earlier Chopra film ‘Baghban’ and with all well on the sets amongst the actors, it looks like the audience will once again connect to this emotional family drama.

“Baabul” music released without Amitabh’s theme song

The title song of director Ravi Chopra’s ‘Baabul’ is supposedly Amitabh Bachchan’s most poignant number ever and reduced even his pragmatic wife Jaya to tears. But what is possibly Amitabh’s career’s best song is missing from the album. Instead, it is rendered by Jagjit Singh.

A strange state of affairs since Amitabh has composed the song and took time off to record it.

Curiously, Bhushan Kumar of T Series, who has released the ‘Baabul’ album, has no knowledge of the Amitabh’s contribution to the theme song.

‘Has Amitji really composed the number? I wasn’t aware of this. All I know is that he has sung the number. I believe Aadesh Shrivastava recorded it. We’ve released the music that was given to us by the producers. And it contains Jagjit Singh’s theme song. We were told that Amitji will dub the song later and that we should add it in the second edition of the music,’ Kumar told IANS.

So, why the rush to release the music?

‘BR Films and Ravi Chopra had an event planned. The music release had to coincide with that,’ explained Kumar.

Aadesh admits the whole rush release has created an awkward situation.

‘Jagjit Singh did ask me what was the arrangement. I explained to him that there’re two distinct versions of the theme song. Each time Amitji comes on screen we’ll be playing his version.’

Will Amitabh be credited for his song?

‘He doesn’t want any credit. He just loves creating music with me. In fact, we’ll soon be doing a whole album of UP folk songs together. Amitji told me, ‘Aadesh, let’s get together and freak out’.’
