The days of "spinning around" in gold hotpants are all over for our well loved Aussie disco diva, it's all about bangles and bindis these days.
"I’ve heard Kylie moves as sweet as she sings, so it’s back to the rehearsal room for me.", says Akshay Kumar (pardon his "Hindi" charm :), a Bollywood action hero to perform opposite the Australian pop princess, Kylie Minogue in a forthcoming mega expensive (28 million dollars) underwater Bolly flick,
Following the massive success of the Slumdog Millionaire, the entertainment business has gone all Bolly-crazy.
What's with the Pussycat Dolls recording the "Jai Ho" cover - not bad at all actually. Listen out...you might hear it here.
Could you imagine Kylie would be left behind?
She will be performing a steamy "wet sari" dance routine, which will obviously have absolutely nothing to do with the plot, and singing a duet with Sonu Nigam as well as a solo number, a promo for the film, both written by A. R. Rahman, the celebrated Indian composer (Slumdog Millionaire, Delhi 6 etc).
Well then, can't get you out of my head la la la la la la la la baleh baleh harripa stylee!
Can't wait!
Will the new Mumbai item girl, Kylie, scantily clad in dazzling sprinkles of sequins (perhaps), singing-dancing under water bring in the Bolly-lolly?
Definitely.
Alas if we are to give up Kylie to Bollywood then we demand more Shilpa here.
Are you listening, Mr Ritchie?
I say, Miss Shetty to glam up the "RocknRolla"!
Kylie is no stranger to East-West Fusions.
Below, a clip from Minogue's 2005 Showgirl Tour, "Confide in Me", a Bollywood sequence, choreographed by Akram Khan.
Talking of other interesting Anglo-Indian music collaborations, if you happened to buy a Sony Ericsson walkman phone in India 2 years ago, lucky you, you'd have a supercool world exclusive ringtone - Robbie Williams' "Rock DJ" remix featuring Asha Bhosle.
I'm still waiting to hear this one.
Anyone?
