Actor Amitabh Bachchan's baritone forms the centrepiece of his newest film Shamitabh. Not only is it practically a character by itself, Mr Bachchan's voice has also been employed in the song Piddly. The actor is one of a handful who have built a secondary career singing playback. Here are five of our favourite songs sung by Amitabh Bachchan:
Rang Barse from Silsila (1981)
The Holi-themed song is probably Mr Bachchan's best-known. The lyrics were written by his father, poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan. Amitabh Bachchan co-starred with Rekha, Jaya Bachchan and Sanjeev Kumar in the film directed by Yash Chopra. The music of Silsila was and still is a big hit.
