Mumbai: Bollywood veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan will mark his debut as music composer for upcoming Bollywood film titled Chup. The film will release in theatres on September 23, 2022.
Talking about the film, Director R Balki said, “Chup is special for more than one reason. For me, the biggest reason is it marks the official debut of Amitabh Bachchan as a music composer
Director R Balki revealed the details regarding the film and said, “Amitji saw Chup and played an instinctive original melody on his piano as he relived the film. It was his way of expressing his feelings for the film, paying a tribute. This composition, his gift to the film, will be the end title track of Chup. I don’t think there can be an artist whose sensitivity can beat Bachchan’s and Chup has his touch!”
Balki and Bachchan have previously collaborated on numerous occasions. Chup is a romantic psychopath thriller, a thought Balki had after the success of Cheeni Kum, but decided to write it much later.
Directed and original story by R Balki, produced by the late stock investor Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, Anil Naidu, Dr. Jayantilal Gada (PEN Studios) and Gauri Shinde, with screenplay and dialogues co-written by R Balki, critic-turned-writer Raja Sen, and Rishi Virmani, Chup features actors Sunny Deol, Dulquer Salmaan, Shreya Dhanwanthary, and Pooja Bhatt in pivotal roles.
