New Delhi, April 7 (IANS) After making people groove to “Right here right now” from “Bluffmaster”, Abhishek Bachchan has once again turned singer for Rohan Sippy’s “Dum Maaro Dum”.

Abhishek has sung a hip-hop song “Thayn Thayn”, composed by Pritam Chakroborty. The lyrics of the song talk about dealing with corruption and changing society for the better.

“Abhishek is very excited about the song and got involved in the creative aspects of it as well. It revolves around his character in the film - ACP Kamat. Both Rohan and Abhishek have a keen ear for music and decided to go with a groovy hip-hop song that keeps to the theme of the film,” said a source.

The film releasing April 22 also stars Bipasha Basu, Prateik Babbar and Rana Daggubati. The film revolves around the lives of six people who meet in Goa and how their lives change once they are dragged into the drug mafia world.

Prateik Babbar prefers to stay away from limelight

Two-film-old Prateik feels that communicating through his characters is much better than boasting about what all he has done.

“Prateik has decided that he’ll speak through his characters, as it is his work that he is most passionate about, and it is that aspect that he wants to focus on,” said a source.

The 24-year-old made his debut with Aamir Khan’s production venture “Jaane Tu…Ya Jaane Naa” and was last seen in “Dhobi Ghat”. Prateik will now be seen in Rohan Sippy’s “Dum Maaro Dum” which releases Friday.

“Prateik is an extremely shy boy, if he’s alone with someone, and has the time to bond, you’ll see him talking nineteen to the dozen, but as a person he needs time to break the ice, and thus he is not very forthcoming with the media,” the source added.
