Bollywood: Shakira to work in Farah Khan’s film!

Shakira, Latino popstar whose hips don’t lie, could be seen shaking her legs rather hips in a Bollywood film directed by ace choreographer turned director Farah Khan. Shakira, who recently performed at the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards, was very impressed over the Indian steps choreographed for her by Farah Khan that she plans to incorporate Khan’s trademark ‘latka jhatka’ moves in her next music video.


“Shakira is so impressed with the classical and semi-classical mudras (dance steps) I made her do for the song she performed at the MTV awards that she expressed a desire to work with me,'’ said Ms Khan.
“She is definitely clued in to Bollywood dance and wants me to incorporate it in her next music video, which she wants me to direct for her,'’ added Farah.
Farah Khan is also reportedly trying to get Shakira to do an item number in her next film, Om Shanti Om, starring Shah Rukh Khan.
“Let’s see. Meanwhile, Shakira’s told me she plans to visit Mumbai in March, so I’ll speak to her then,” said Farah about Shakira playing a role in her film, “After all, she has seen my Chhaiyaan chhaiyaan song and the qawwali from Main Hoon Na and told me she enjoyed them. What’s more, she seemed to be familiar with Shah Rukh Khan though she’d never met him.”
“I’d have to create an entire new song for Shakira should she want to be a part of my film!” said Farah Khan.

Is Shakira Going Bollywood?!

This is going to be as equal parts amazing as it will be ridiculous!
Shakira has reportedly agreed to star in a Bollywood feature as a Hindu goddess!
The film, called Kaali: The Warrior Goddess, will allegedly feature the Colombian singer in the title role!
Producer Karan Arora says:

"Kaali: The Warrior Goddess will be a 3D motion film shot on CG. It will be a full-length, two-hour Hindi film to be shot in London, or then in a city in Eastern Europe. Shakira is on board. She has agreed in principle. She has said yes when my co-producer met her. But she is yet to sign on the dotted line. The money is being worked out quickly."

Inneresting! We wonder if this one will pan out!
No matter how over the top or crazy this may end up being, there's no doubt in our minds that's she'll look FABOOSH! And that alone is reason enough to watch!
What do U think?? Should Shakira go Bollywood?

Shakira misses her date with Bollywood

Shakira’s date with Bollywood is off for the time being. The Latin American sensation won’t be seen singing for music director duo Salim-Sulaiman in debutant Sachin Joshi’s Azaan. For the uninitiated, the pop diva was set to sing a “very sensuous cabaret kind of song.”

“Initially, Shakira had agreed to sing the number and was excited but she got busy with her huge world tour. Since then, we haven’t had any response from her, possibly because she is caught up with her tour and other assignments,” informs Salim.

He admits that they’ve repeatedly “tried to contact Shakira again”. “But there has been no response from her side. So now, we have accepted that the song isn’t happening. After all, it is only up to a point that you can pursue someone,” says the composer.

Apparently, the Shakira number was supposed to be a frenzied dance track to be filmed on South African model Candice Boucher, who stars in Azaan along with entrepreneur Sachin Joshi. The song was supposed to have been recorded by mid 2010. The lyrics were supposed to be English, but with a smattering of easy Hindi. Sachin, who makes his acting debut with Azaan, was apparently in constant touch with Shakira. “We were excited to record the song but it’s not easy to get global stars,” says the composer.

Salim, on his part, is looking forward to a glut of films after the super successful Band Baaja Baraat. Plus, he will also be seen in a music reality show. “But I can’t divulge any details yet. It’s going to be very interesting. Let’s see how things go,” he says.

Shakira's solo Bollywood dhamaka

Bollywood seems to be attracting musicians from abroad.

Most recently it was Kylie Minogue who sang a song for Blue and Akon who is doing the honours for Shah Rukh Khan's Ra.One.

Now, the latest entrant to jump into the Bollywood singing bandwagon is Columbian songstress Shakira , who is set to to rock in a song for composer duo Salim-Sulaiman.

Shakira is no stranger to India . She had performed live in Mumbai and other cities back in 2007. She also has repeatedly expressed her desire to be a part of Bollywood.

According to Oneindia website, the song will be shot on South African model Candice Boucher for the film featuring the IPL owner and entrepreneur Sachin Joshi. The film is expected to be recorded in the next couple of months.

'The lyrics would be in English with a smattering of simple Hindi. It won't be a duet like the Kylie Minogue song in Blue. It'd be a Shakira solodhamaka,' the website quoted a source as saying.

Salim has confirmed the news. 'It would be a very sensuous, cabaret kind of a song,' the website reported him as saying.
