Of late, a lot of Bollywood stars have tried their hand at playback singing. And the latest to join the bandwagon is senior actor Boman Irani. In these tough times of the pandemic, the actor has collaborated with budding artistes to spread the message of hope.
The 3 Idiots actor has sung Over The Rainbow, from the film The Wizard Of Oz. The track was originally sung by Judy Garland. Irani is joined by a choir of talented singers named Shriya Rao, Aneesha Karwanyun, Naima Ramakrishnan, Aaliya Ramakrishnan, Nisha Ramakrishnan, Anika Mashruwala, Shloka Subramanium, Kimaya Mehta and Vaidehi Srinivasan. Boman’s rendition of the classic song was created remotely and the vocals were recorded at their respective homes. The track has been arranged by Danesh Khambata and his brother, Nariman Khambata, who mixed the arrangements.
Boman says, “When I heard these girls, I was bowled over by their talent and I wanted to sing with them. I connected with Danesh to collaborate with this choir and he obliged me. It is a classic song that has filled many with hope. I’m glad that all of this art came together so well. Kudos to the kids.”
On the work front, the actor is looking forward to the release of his films, ’83 and Jayeshbhai Jordaar.
