Amitabh Bachchan has spoken candidly regarding his music composition for R Balki's movie Chup: Revenge of the Artist, the very first time in his career that he has taken on the role of musician. The performer acknowledged that he was the only person to play every instrument in the piece, as well as to capture it completely by himself. He also claimed that the track, which he had written a message regarding, was about lost love.
Dhun by Amitabh was written for Chup: Revenge of the Artist. On Sunday, the veteran actor posted on Twitter, "T 4422 – A composition of ‘moi’ after an inspiring moment from film . .. Each instrument played by ‘moi’ .. and recorded personally .. alone .."
Afterwards, the actor posted the letter on his Tumblr blog and Facebook page. He released an audio of his song playing at the conclusion of Chup. The megastar wrote, "110 years of Indian cinema. 80 years of Amitabh Bachchan. Thank You Amit Ji... The title music at the end has been specially composed by Amitabh Bachchan."
Amitabh continued on his blog, "A composition of 'moi' after an inspiring moment from film .. Each instrument played by 'moi' .. and recorded personally .. alone."
According to Hindustan Times, Amitabh explained the song's composition by stating that it speaks more about the sorrow of lost love and abandonment. He clarified, "To me it was the melody that spoke...spoke of love...of unrequited love...love that is not openly reciprocated or understood...by beloved...beloved be not aware of the admirer’s deep, pure affection, or consciously reject it...what then the melody-if it can be called that .. melodies that are singular strains of expression...but an expression of what...happiness or disillusionment it played for the maker."
In the meantime, Chup, starring Dulquer Salmaan, Sunny Deol, Shreya Dhanwanthary, and Pooja Bhatt, has been considered as a tribute to the late director Guru Dutt. On September 23, it had its theatrical debut.
