Team Dil Bechara transformed an ordinary Wednesday into a magical Wednesday by paying a heartwarming musical tribute to film lead actor Sushant Singh Rajput. Mr. Rajput, 34, was found dead in his apartment in Bandra, Mumbai, on June 14. The film’s music crew, including AR Rahman, Sunidhi Chauhan, Shreya Ghoshal, Mohit Chauhan, Jonita Gandhi and Amitabh Bhattacharya remembered the deceased actor while playing soulful pieces from the film through a virtual concert. With each track, the singers and associated songwriters dedicated special and moving messages to Sushant Singh Rajput. The 13-minute musical tribute opened with AR Rahman, who teamed up with daughter Raheema Rahman, son AR Ameen and musician Hiral Viradia to sing the title song of Dil Bechara. Before starting the performance, AR Rahman also acknowledged that the nine tracks he composed for the film “have a whole new meaning today, a whole new life.”
AR Rahman’s performance was then followed by the track Maskhari, which was performed by Sunidhi Chauhan and Hriday Gattani. Sunidhi, in her segment from Mumbai, said, “I think this song connects Sushant on reel and real life. Maybe this is just a little glimpse of her mischievous, mischievous self offscreen.”
The next track was Taare Ginn, which Mohit Chauhan sang with Shreya Ghoshal. Mohit, who currently lives in Delhi, dedicated the song to Sushant Singh Rajput’s love and passion for “space, stars and astronomy”.
