TEMPLE AUTHORITIES' REQUEST TO AMITABH

Amitabh Bachchan has been approached by the temple authorities of Sidhivinayak temple who have requested him to render the Siddhivinayak Aarti on the occasion of Ganeshotsav. Obliging to their request Big B has recorded it in his voice at a popular studio in Mumbai.

The actor confirmed the news by stating :  “The Siddhivinayak temple authorities requested me to sing it. I will also be going ahead with a CD recording to formally make my offering at the temple. Siddhivinayak is a revered Ganpati temple and since long, they wanted me to render the aarti, which I have finally done. The music is theirs, but the composition and rendering is mine.”

He also stated that whether or not to play it during aarti time is the temple authorities’ call but it will be available on the internet and on CDs. The video of his rendition is to be directed by Shoojit Sircar.
