Vinod Rathod credits Kishore Kumar for influencing him in his life. As a tribute to the late singer-composer on his birth anniversary today, the singer is going to dedicate his new album Mera Pyaar to him. The album will have a special song in remembrance of the legend.

Rathod will launch the album during his own birthday month in September, and it will be written, composed and sung by himself.

“This I think will be the first time that any Bollywood singer will pay tribute to Kishore-da through his album,” Rathod said.

“There will be 20 to 24 songs and a special song dedicated to Kishore-da.”

Rathod is popular for his playback singing in films including Deewana , Khalnayak , Mission Kashmir and Lage Raho Munna Bhai . He has crooned ‘Kitaabein bahut si...’, ‘Nayak nahin Khalnayak hun main...’ and ‘Koi na koi chahiye...’
