Mumbai: Actor Sanjay Dutt will be heard reciting a few Sanskrit shlokas in his upcoming film ‘Bhoomi’.

The untitled song is an edgy devotional number sung by Sanjay and Ajay Gogavale from the popular music duo Ajay-Atul.

The song, composed by Sachin Jigar, is inspired by ‘maa’ - the divine mother of cosmos and represents the Shiv shakti concept.

Sachin Jigar said in a statement: ‘Sanjay Dutt is an all-rounder. He can sing, act and dance effortlessly at the same time. He is a multi-tasking rock star for us.

‘He has sung a few Sanskrit shlokas and took precisely 60 minutes in the studio to deliver his part with no prior training.’

The composers said they were looking to rope in an international singer like Alicia Keys to complement Sanjay's version, but due to time constraints ‘we couldn't’.
