Abhishek Bachchan turned
crooner with the rap track, Right Here... Right Now,
which played in the end credits of Rohan Sippy's 2005
romcom, Bluffmaster. A decade later, the 39-year-old actor will be
seen singing in a rap video, Until The Sun Comes Up.
The single features double Grammy Award winner Nelly, of whom Bachchan is a big fan. Nelly took home the trophy for Best Rap Performance in 2003 and 2004. The American singer-songwriter turned actor in 2005, with Adam Sandler's sports comedy, The Longest Yard. This hip-hop single is the brainchild of Canadian musician, Raghav. Raghav's songs, Angel eyes and Can't get enough, are the heart of every party in Mumbai.
“Nelly is a legend and Abhishek is all heart. They refused to charge any fee for the song,“ Raghav told Mirror. “The signing amount decided by the music label has gone to charity. Since the song is about leading people from darkness to light, we planned on lighting up two African villages with our music,“ Raghav smiles. The collaborators have already ensured that the selected villages are provided with electricity to help children study. The single will release in the last week of August.
“This is the first of many collaborations,“ promises Raghav. “With AB on board, I would like to bring in different international musicians.“
