Sanjay Dutt to turn singer for ‘Bhoomi’

Sanjay Dutt is set to return to the recording studio by turning singer for his next ‘Bhoomi’.

According to Mid-Day, the superstar has rendered a song titled ‘Jai Mata Di’. He told the publication, “I am reciting shlokas in the song. I’m an ardent believer of Mata Rani, who has given me the strength to face hard times. When the makers came up with the idea, I was immediately sold.”

Music composers, Sachin-Jigar added, “We always wanted to use his voice in the track. His baritone is impactful and adds heft to any track.”

Dutt said, “It’s slightly easier nowadays because there are instruments to enhance your tonality and voice. But during my early days, I’ve seen legendary singers like Lataji [Mangeshkar] record songs in a single take. During Rocky (1981), I was in awe of her prowess. We are fortunate that our singers make us sound so good on screen. Singers and musicians need to be lauded more than they are today.”

‘Bhoomi’ releases on 22nd September 2017.
