The keenly awaited Snoop Dogg-RDB number for Singh Is Kinng has been recorded at last and will form a part of the film's soundtrack when it releases.
At present, there are plans to shoot the video in Los Angeles, where Akshay is headed for another film shoot. Both Akki and Katrina haven't stopped raving about the track!
Remarks the Kumar, "The song is mind-blowing. I made a few friends listen to it and they haven't stopped gushing about it. I am confident that just like the rest of the soundtrack this will go on to become a major chartbuster."
Katrina seconds Akki's sentiments. "I've heard it and it's outstanding. If I'm right, it's the first real hip-hop song in a Hindi movie. I know that girls are supposed to be an integral part of hip-hop videos but I don't know whether there will be place for me in this video!" she laughs.
"It's very male-dominated and I don't want to be a prop. With Akshay and Snoop, it will rock anyway!" she adds.
Meanwhile, the title track of the film, rendered by Neeraj Shridhar and composed by Pritam, is likely to go on television later this week. Source: Indiafm.com News | 16 Jun 2008 | 1:53 pm
Aamir Khan's fondness of veteran actor Shammi Kapoor is a fact that is now known to one and all. Recently, Aamir himself confessed that he considers Shammi-ji as his lucky mascot and hence asked the legendary actor to launch the music of his nephew Imran's debut film, Jaane Tuâ¦Ya Jaane Na. Even last year, when Aamir turned director with Taare Zameen Par, he took Shammi-ji's blessings before releasing the music of the film.
Now, Aamir showed his love and respect for Shammi-ji once again when the actor turned up all the way from Chennai to felicitate Shammi Kapoor. Shammi was bestowed with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Osian's Cinefan Festival in Mumbai over the weekend and Aamir was present by his side in his moment of glory. Shammi Kapoor, who has given immortal hits like Dil Deke Dekho, Junglee, An Evening in Paris, Kashmir Ki Kali and Teesri Manzil, seemed touched by this gesture and thanked everyone from the film industry for his success. Shammi Kapoor's immediate family consisting of his wife Neela Devi, daughter Kanchan and son Aditya Raj Kapoor were also present on this special occasion.

Washington (ANI): English singer-songwriter George Michael believes that high-powered politicians drive the media to cover his and Britney Spears' private lives so that they may keep the "real news' off the front pages of the top newspapers. Source: Oneindia - Entertainment | 16 Jun 2008 | 9:57 am

After whooping it up in Priyadarshan's Mere Baap Pehle Aap, Paresh is now getting ready to do his first international film. "It's called, believe it or not, The Virgin Goat. It's a lovely script. I play a villager who's taking his goat-on-heat for mating. It's entirely the story of my character."
It's rumoured that Paresh is asking for exorbitant mounts of money. "Please believe me, I'm asking for less than I deserve. I'm not comparing my price to what others get. I'm only charging more as compared with what I used to charge earlier. Boney Kapoor openly told me once that I charge too little. Sometimes I ask for more than I normally would just to fob off unwanted projects."
The super-talented Paresh Rawal and the supposedly sexy Mallika Sherawat who play husband and wife got along like a house on fire during the shooting of Sanjay Chhel's Maan Gaye Mughall-e-Azam.
In fact they got along so well that Paresh made the classic statement on the sets, 'Mallika Sherawat is largely responsible for global warming'. Laughs Paresh, "Ha, I did say that. I don't deny it. But only as a joke. I'm constantly passing quips on the sets. And this was one of them. Little did I know that it would be the talk of the town. I've just landed in Mumbai and everyone is asking me about it."
Paresh plays a middle-aged man whose son is looking for a suitable match in Mere Baap Pehle Aap. And amused friends are now suggesting Mallika could be the cause of some domestic warming in Paresh's life. Laughs Paresh, "Aisa kuch nahin hai. My wife (actress Swaroop Sampat) heard my comment and she laughed the loudest." Source: Indiafm.com News | 16 Jun 2008 | 9:50 am

Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Naa
For second straight week in succession, it's the magic of 'Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Naa' that continues to hold fort. The title song has finally come on air and yet again the combination of music and visuals is doing the trick! Newcomer Imraan Khan would indeed be on cloud nine to have got such a great kick start to his career. Now it's time for his act to talk for itself once the film releases on 4th July.

Jannat
JTYJN may have overtaken it but 'Jannat' still continues to give tough competition at the top. Each and every song in the film has worked and 'Jannat' has turned into one of the biggest musical successes for Bhatts after 'Murder'.
Wish Kamran Ahmed's version of 'Lambi Judai' was a part of the film as well!

Race
There are no changes in the Top-3 of the charts as Pritam has his 'Race' following 'Jannat' close behind. Even though the film has more or less ended it's theatrical run while the DVD sales have been steady, the music hasn't lost it's charm till date! Looks like 'Race' would rule longer than even it's makers would have expected.

Khuda Kay Liye
'Khuda Kay Liye' deserves to break into Top-3! The music as well as the film's popularity has only been showing a continuous escalation week after week. The music video of 'Bandya' has finally arrived on the music channels and that should further add on to the album's popularity!

Love Story 2050
The only album in the charts to have shown a really good jump, 'Love Story 2050' finds itself in Top-5 within a fortnight of it's release. Anu Malik gets a successful album to his name after ages.
'Sach Kehna', the best dance number from the album, has been revealed a little too early. It may have benefited 'Love Story 2050' if released around the time of film's release.

Ada
It is Rahman's name which has resulted in 'Ada' to have done so well in spite of neither the music company nor the makers making any efforts whatsoever to promote the album.
One wonders for how long the album would be able to sustain without any promotion. Once hardcore Rahman fans have given it a listen, how would the album reach out to rest of the music lovers?

Haal E Dil
Staying on at the same position where it was in the week gone by, 'Haal E Dil' doesn't budge from it's #7 spot. Though there isn't much escalation expected this week as well, one looks forward to how the album progresses once the film hits the screen this Friday. After all it is still doing the best business when compared to other movies which are releasing on the same day i.e. 'De Taali' and 'Khushboo'.
The film primarily stars newcomers which would mean that the music of 'Haal E Dil' would take time to make it's presence felt in a big way

Tashan
The way 'Tashan' is going downward and 'De Taali' isn't making much progress, it appears that Vishal-Shekhar would have to live with a zero presence in the charts for a little while. There is good hope though from the soundtrack of 'Bachna Ae Haseenon' which is expected to arrive in a month from now!
YRF would have to re-look at their 'minimal promotion' of music strategy, especially after the reception to music of 'Tashan'

Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic
YRF now has two of it's albums at the bottom of the charts. 'Lazy Lamhe' was expected to do the trick but that too has merely helped the album to move up by a solitary spot!
'Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic' has just been a 'thoda sa' success. Period. One waits to see if the film's release turns it's fortunes by any means.

Jodhaa Akbar
It is going to be farewell time for 'Jodhaa Akbar any moment. It has been a good 5 month journey for this Rahman score and it would be interesting to see if 'Jodhaa Akbar' manages to complete silver jubilee in the charts.
