Popular Australian singer Kylie Minogue will be singing a song which has been composed by music wizard A. R. Rahman. The song will feature in the film ‘Blue’ which stars Akshay Kumar, Sanjay Dutt, Katrina Kaif and Lara Dutta. Reports suggest that the music diva will be paid a staggering 5 crores for the song. The recording is expected to happen next month and Kylie Minogue will land in India with her entire troupe. Interestingly, the lady will also feature in the video of the song.
According to reports A. R. Rahman had considered two other pop divas Madonna and Rihanna earlier. But then things didn’t work out as expected.
‘Blue’ is expected to be one of the most expensive films ever made in India surpassing 100 crores.
International flavor in Indian films is sure to make many heads turn towards India. Sure looks like an innovative trend.
From time immemorial, cinema has been entertaining us week after week, month after month, year after year, decade after decade and even generation after generation. However, now the reach of Hindi films extends right from Rai Bareilly to Rio De Janeiro and from Chandni Chowk to China. Bollywood (as the Hindi film industry is popularly known as) is no longer just a means of entertainment; in more ways than one, it’s become a way of life. We at Bollywood Hungama bring you the various ways in which our lives have been influenced by Bollywood.
From the Big screen to the Small Screen
While Television was always considered as the younger brother of the silver screen, these days, T.V. channels and shows are filled with Bollywood celebs. After Big B’s sagging career got a fresh lease of life with Kaun Banega Crorepati, every actor worth his salt decided to try his hand on the small screen. Actors like SRK, Akshay Kumar, Manisha Koirala, Anupam Kher have been seen on the small screen as hosts of game shows.
Kareena Kapoor was offered a role of a lifetime by Bend it like Beckham director Gurinder Chadda for her next flick opposite handsome hunk Johnny Depp.
The NRI director is also set to make a big-budget Hollywood flick, but poor Kareena denied the film as she had dates problem and moreover she was not impressed with the offer.
Well with films like 3 idiots with Aamir Khan, Kambaqt Ishq with Akshay Kumar and Main aur Mrs Khanna with Sallu in her kitty, Bebo has nothing to worry about, not even Johnny Depp.
With the success of Akshay Kumar’s latest film, “Singh is Kinng”, he’s quickly becoming the biggest star at the box office. We mention previously that the film has been invited by the prestigious Toronto Film Festival for a special screening.
And now Akshay Kumar has been signed on as the brand ambassador of popular denim brand Levi’s.
The Ads were shot in US on Akshay and supermodel Sara to promote the 501 Jeans of Levi’s. The campaign is based on the theme of Live Unbuttoned and therefore American models unbutton Akshay in the Ads.
