Amitabh Bachchan Honey Singh

There’s no stopping Yo Yo Honey Singh. After the chartbusting Lungi dance with Shah Rukh Khan in Chennai Express, the singer-composer will now make Amitabh Bachchan rap to his tunes for a special jugalbandi in Bhootnath Returns. The song will be shot at a resort (see right) located in the Raigad district on the old Mumbai-Pune highway. The modern-day haveli, which is popular for weddings, will be converted into a bhoot bangla. And over 100 dancers, including children, will shake a leg with the Big B.

The song, Party With Bhootnath, will be shot in the coming week. Said a source close to the production, “Honey Singh recently met up with Amitji. He was so overwhelmed that he couldn’t stop clicking pictures. It’s a terrific opportunity for him.”

When contacted, Bhootnath Returns’ producer Bhushan Kumar said, “Like Amitji’s Maula mujhe chodna kabhi nahi with Adnan Sami, we’re hoping to create a similar chemistry between Honey Singh and Big B. It’s a lavishly set song and will involve a lot of special effects. We’ve requested him to rap too. We’re hoping for one crazy number!”
