Asha Bhosle Makes Acting Debut at 80 Sep 18th 2012, 09:51 Image courtesy: BCCL For decades she has made people dance to her tunes. And now at 80 years of age, Asha Bhosle has decided to get a taste of how it feels. For a new song in her debut film Mai, to be launched at Lalbaugcha Raja on September 19, the songstress has gone all out to shoot a rain dance sequence. While this song, Dhakku Makum is perhaps the first wherein one will see the famous singer shaking a leg, it also marks the singing debut of her granddaughter Zanai, who has lent her voice to the song along with Amit Kumar. It was at Garden Court, Kandivali, where the songstress shot her first dance number. “The whole idea is to give the song a chawl look. My idea was to show the people enjoying the first rain,” director Mahesh Kodiyal told Mirror. While the choreographer, Lollypop (of Aati Kya Khandala fame) only asked Bhosle to move her hands, the legendary singer insisted that she have some steps of her own. “She said ‘I want to dance and not just move’. She wanted to have proper dance steps. We weren’t too sure whether she would like dancing in the rain,” added Kodiyal. After Lollypop taught Bhosle the moves, she surprised the crew by replicating them perfectly. “When I saw her perform, I was amazed,” said the director. Composed by Nithin R Shankar, this song will now be launched on the auspicious occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi. “It is my pleasure and honour to have one of the songs from my film Mai being played during the festive season. I hope everyone enjoys it as much as I did while shooting for it,” said Bhosle. The film produced by Subhash Dawar and Nithin R Shankar explores the relationship between a mother and a daughter.
