New Delhi: Ganpati Bappa Morya - this chant will reverberate across India as devotees gear up for the Ganesha Utsava, starting September. On Twitter, a Bollywood actor is singing praises for Bappa but like no one else.

Actor Riteish Deshmukh featured in Star Pravah's video, Thank God, Bappa in which he explains how Bappa is great because he is not like us mortals. The Marathi song is unlike any other song for the festival but it sure has a poignant message.

The music video is directed by Kapil Sawant and produced by Riteish's wife, actress Genelia Deshmukh.
