Bappi Lahiri is much missed by fans friends and family. His wife and children are yet to come to terms with the gravity of the loss.
“The house feels very strange without him. He was such a lively presence. Suddenly everything has gone still. The house feels emptied out,” Bappida’s son Bappi Lahiri , down in Mumbai from the US where he lives, can barely contain his grief.
The Lahiri family now intends to carry Bappida’s legacy forward in the best way forward.
“We want to curate and detail all the songs my father has done, a tall order considering how prolific he was , from Jimmy jimmy to Saiyyan bina ghar soona. There are also a collection of his unreleased songs that we want to release.We also want to do a book on him, the side of my father that no body knew,” reveals Bappa.
But before all of this, there is the bio-pic that the family wants to produce.
Reveals Bappa, “My father wanted Ranveer Singh to play Bappi Lahiri in the bio-pic. We are not sure if Ranveer would be willing. But considering the respect Ranveer has always shown to my father we would hope that Ranveer would agree.”
Over to Ranveer.
