Snoop Brings Bling To Bollywood

Snoop Dog

Cordozar Calvin Broadcus Junior, who is better known across the world as Snoop Dogg, performs the title track of a new Bollywood movie called Singh is Kinng which is being released in India on Friday.

Starring one of Bollywood's top actors Akshay Kumar, it's being dubbed as the fusing of two cultures - where the King of Bollywood meets the King of Rap.

The two are said to have got on like a house on fire and Akshay even managed to get the American rapper to don Indian clothes for the music video.

The film's producer Vipul A Shah said: "Their chemistry was worth seeing as they're superstars from two different worlds. To say the least, the video is looking brilliant."

The song is already a hit in India and is being played regularly on radio stations and in bars.

In the video, the singer who has been in and out of trouble with the police for most of his life, is seen wearing a traditional Indian kurta or long shirt, beige trousers with a turban studded with a diamond.

Indian film-maker Deepak Tijori told Sky News: "He has a very very select audience and the song is blended with a typical Bollywood song. It is a good pinch of salt but will not be the mainstay of the film."

In other words, it's Akshay who is drawing in the crowds in India, not necessarily the US rapper.

But that hasn't deterred Snoop, who apparently has plans to follow up with a tour to India.

"Snoop Dogg has a lot of fans in India and I love 'em right back," he said.

His co-performer Akshayis effusive with his compliments: "The song is mind-blowing. I made a few friends listen to it and they haven't stopped gushing about it.

"I am confident like the rest of the soundtrack this will go on to become a major chartbuster."

Rani Mukherjee's sexy in her bikini

Bollywood Actress Rani Mukherjee's sexy in her bikini In Dil Bole Hadippa Believe it or not, but the whole ‘bikini top ‘n’ skimpy shorts’ avatar in short — flaunting Rani Mukerji’s hot new bod wasn’t her idea. Not even the producer or director had anything to do with it. After she realised how much she had toned up (to play a male cricketer in Dil Bole Hadippa!), Rani just happened to discuss this idea with her designer friend Manish Malhotra. And from there on it was Manish’s game plan, after all, he’s transformed many a Bollywood girl in to glam queens. He suggested that it would be a pity to waste such a well-toned body by not showing it off. That’s how the idea of a special song was born. And is she looking hot? Talk about her ‘shapely’ success, and Rani says, “Believe me, I didn’t starve at all. I love my food, especially rice and sweets. There was no way I was giving up all that. So, I just worked out harder and was occasionally allowed my ‘cheat’ meals of rice, sweets, etc. ...

'I have no heartfelt desire to work with SRK’: Ranbir Kapoor

Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor maintains he never said he was desperate to share screen space with Shah Rukh Khan, but admitted he would love to work with the superstar if a good project came his way. “I had no such dil ki tamanna (heartfelt desire) to work with Shah Rukh sir. But I respect him a lot. I am a big fan of him,” Ranbir told reporters on the margins of the HT Leadership Summit here Friday. The 28-year-old, who was here with his father, evergreen star Rishi Kapoor, says a superstar’s presence in a project isn’t reason enough for him to accept it. “It’s not that if a superstar will be there in a film, I’ll agree to do it. But if I like a film, I like its script, I would be more than glad to do it,” he added. Nevertheless, Ranbir enjoys the attention he gets from the youth.
