27th January 2015

Amitabh Bachchan, who recently recorded the National Anthem composed by Ilaiyaraaja was shot at Rabindranath Tagore's residence in Kolkata. The team decided to shoot it at Jorasanko Thakurbari as a tribute to the original composer of the anthem.

In this video, Big B will be seen walking barefoot in the premises of Tagore's residence. Directed by R. Balki and Shoojit Sircar the video was released on Republic day.

Shoojit said, "It's a voluntary project. Mr Bachchan and I had plans to do a music video on the National Anthem for a long time. Though I knew we would be shooting it in Kolkata, I didn't go location hunting. I had a chat with him on the phone and we decided to film it at Jorasanko Thakurbari, where not much shooting has happened before."
