Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan to be honored with the prestigious Lata Mangeshkar Award for his outstanding contributions, joining a distinguished list of recipients.
A Sangeet Natak Akademi laureate (2018), Wadkar, 68, will be presented with a cash prize, a commendation and a memento as part of the award at a ceremony later, an official said.
For someone who has worked with the likes of Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle, Manna Dey, Jagjit Singh and has contributed to the soundtracks of popular movies including ‘Page 3’, ‘The Body’ and the recently released Nawazuddin Siddiqui-Bhumi Pednekar starrer ‘Afwaah’, the paradigm shift in Hindi film music is hard to ignore.
PM invoked Ustad Bismillah Khan while talking about how the popularity of some classical music instruments has decreased with time.
Born on September 28, 1929, Lata Mangeshkar began her career in 1942 at the age of 13. In a career spanning seven decades, the melody queen recorded songs for over a thousand Hindi films. She recorded her songs in over 36 regional Indian and foreign languages. She is known as the 'Queen of Melody' and 'India's Nightingale'.
'Naam Reh Jaayega' features India's biggest voices paying tribute to Lata Mangeshkar, whose voice filled generations of music lovers with emotion and hope.
Apart from this, the makers have some unseen visuals in store for the audience as well which will take you on an emotional voyage back in time.
Conceived and directed by Gajendra Singh, Saibaba Studios' 'Naam Reh Jaayega' is starting from May 1 at 7 pm on Star Plus.
"A little unrelated, but when they were paying tributes to artists who passed away this year and there was no mention of Lata Mangeshkar- India's most loved singer, it all felt so futile and insignificant. These shows have no regard for 'global' music- only American."
Besides Lata Mangeshkar, these included freedom Fighters of Haryana Umrao Singh Yadav, martyrs, and close relatives of members of Haryana Vidhan Sabha.
