This coup is being pulled off by the music composer Aadesh Shrivastava, who has already got both Amitabh Bachchan and Akon to sing (separately) for his music album Anthem of Peace. Now, for a concert to be held in March, Shrivastava hopes to bring these two icons together on stage.
Things aren’t finalized yet and Shrivastava is yet to discuss the concert with Akon. He’s likely to do so when he visits the US next month. But Shrivastava says he enjoys a good rapport with Akon and is confident of roping him in for the concert.
As for Amitabh Bachchan, the superstar’s participation in the concert is almost confirmed. Aadesh Shrivastava has made Big B sing many a time in the past and there is no reason to believe why he can’t do it again.
The aim of the concert is to promote the message of peace and harmony. With the stalwarts like Amitabh and Akon on stage, Aadesh is sure the message would reach out far and wide.
