It wasn’t (Bachch)an inconsequential number

Piddly is a synonym of trivial.

It also happened to be the name of a track from Shamitabh. But the song, which was five minutes and nine seconds long, was anything but that.

Ilaiyaraaja composed the song, which was lyricist Swanand Kirkire's second contribution to the soundtrack.

It was rendered by the one and only Amitabh Bachchan, who, incidentally, played a character named Amitabh in the film as well*.

(*The first two letters in the film’s title – Sh – were derived from the last two letters of the first name of the character essayed by Dhanush.)
