Amitabh croons `Ekla...` for `Kahaani`, promotes it on Twitter, blog

Mumbai: After a successful 2011, Vidya Balan is set to start the New Year with another woman-centric film `Kahaani` and has found support from none other than Amitabh Bachchan who is promoting her film on social networking sites.

The megastar has sung Rabindranath Tagore`s iconic song "Ekla cholo re" for the film and is talking about it on his blog and Twitter page. "My friend Sujoy Ghosh of `Aladin` fame... puts out his trailer for his next with Vidya... `Kahaani`... interesting watch," he tweeted. On his blog, Big B wrote: "May I just say that singing Rabindra Sangeet for the first time was the greatest revelation. The beauty of the language, the lyricism of the tune and its `dhun` (music) are outstanding. "This particular, world famous number `Ekla Cholo`, expounding to all that if no one came to you on your calling, walk alone!! And what a fabulous song has been incorporated by Vishal-Shekhar. Truly awesome and worthy of all award." Vidya is currently promoting "Kahaani" and when asked about it, she said: "That is very, very kind and generous of him. He has sung a song for us, I thought that was under wraps, so I didn`t say but obviously you all seem to know." "It is a very special song for Kolkata and all the Bengalis. It has been sung by Mr. Bachchan, so it becomes all the more special," added the 33-year-old actress while launching Radio Big FM`s new jingle. She is known for her power-packed performances in "Ishqiya", "No One Killed Jessica" and "The Dirty Picture", but Vidya has no plans to exercise her vocal chords. "So far no, because I don`t know. I am not even a bathroom singer. So I am happy listening," said the actress who plays a pregnant woman in "Kahaani". Director Sujoy Ghosh`s `Kahaani` is scheduled for a March 9 release and also stars Emraan Hashmi and Bengali actor Parambrata Chatterjee. IANS
