Akshay Kumar launches Punjabi devotional album
Akshay Kumar has donned a 'new avatar' as a singer by lending his voice to a song in a Punjabi devotional music album, dedicated to the victims of recent Mumbai serial blasts.The 39-year-old actor sang one of the songs in the album titled 'Nirgun Raakh Liya' (God is the Protector) along with Gyani Raghubir Singh Ji Diwan. The album was released in London last week.
Recalling his childhood days when he used to visit a Gurdwara every Sunday and chant the song 'Nirgun Raakh Liya', Akshay said it was his urge to bring out an album on the song, but was quick to add that this was his first and last album.
"I would like to dedicate this song and the video to all those who lost their lives on that fateful day (July 11 in Mumbai). It is extremely sad when something like this happens...That I was in London," he told reporters at the launch of the album.
"I went there (Mumbai) for a day" he said and decided to devote the album to the victims of the blasts. He expressed confidence that the songs would touch the hearts of the people.
"We seek to transcend all man-made barriers on the pretext of religion."
The video features Akshay being filmed extensively across different religious places, villages and cities across India.
