 Considered
the playback voice of Amitabh Bachchan, Sudesh
Bhonsle is known equally well for his singin and mimickery.
Sudesh Bhonsle hails from a musical family. While his mother was an
All India Radio artiste in Mumbai his maternal
grandmother, Durgabai Shirodkar, was a
well-known classical singer. His father, was a
well-known painter of film posters, especially
films produced by Rajshri Productions and
B. Nagi Reddi from Chennai.
Quite naturally, young
Sudesh was inclined towards both his parent's
professions, helping out his father with
painting posters and also singing in college.
He later joined Melody Makers, a leading stage
orchestral group. Having consciously developed
his natural gift of mimicry at the behest of
college friends, he would be both singer and
mimic with the orchestra.
He perfectly mimicked
the late R.D.Burman in a song once and Asha
Bhosle who was in the audience requested
him to tape the song and later played it out to
R.D.Burman who could not believe his ears.
R.D.Burman gave him a break in Zalzala (1988)
in a Holi song with Shailendra
Singh and Anuradha
Paudwal.
Sudesh Bhonsle for the
first time sang in Amitabh Bachchan's voice in
1989 for the film Ajooba. However his big break
came only with Jumma Chumma number from Hum.
Since then Sudesh Bhonsle has sung almost all
the songs that are filmed on Amitabh Bachchan.
