Akon is coming to Mumbai on Monday to record a song for composers Vishal- Shekhar in Anubhav Sinha's Ra.1.
The controversial singer's arrival is being kept under wraps. He's expected to be whisked away from the airport straight for the recording.
Akon will be recording on March 9 and 10 before he quietly slips out of India.
But hang on. He's expected to return to India in April for live concerts with Aadesh Shrivastav.
Confirming Akon's recording in Mumbai, Ra.1 director Anubhav Sinha says, "Akon will be here for the recording on the dates you've mentioned."
However, Anubhav very strongly contradicts conflicting reports in the press stating that Akon would also be acting in Ra.1.
Says Anubhav, "Akon is only singing for our film. He is not acting in Ra.1."
While Shah Rukh will lip-sync Akon's lines, the song in Hindi and English will also feature a female voice, since Kareena Kapoor will be dancing with SRK in the song. The female voice has not been decided as yet. But Kareena Kapoor giving playback for herself is not ruled out.
Music composer Aadesh Shrivastav who's in constant touch with the American super-rapper has been informed of Akon's very hush-hush arrival to an undisclosed part of the country for a two-day visit.
Says Aadesh, "Akon is coming to India this month. He'll be here a couple of days. Akon then returns to India in April, this time for concerts with me. We're at the moment working out the details and venues."
Last month Aadesh recorded a raga-rap number with Akon in the US. Now in the light of all the brouhaha over Akon's Ra.1 recording, Aadesh will release a music video featuring himself and Akon.
"It's basically footage that Akon and I shot while recording our song," says Aadesh.
Get ready for an Akon blitzkrieg in Mumbai this month onwards.Source: BollywoodHungama.com News | 6 Mar 2010 | 9:51 am SRK invites people to coach his IPL team - Hindustan Times

This is something that usually happens only in a Bollywood film. But, this time round, it's happening in real life and how. Ironically, the people involved in this are the B-town residents. We are talking about the family of legendary late Kamaal Amrohi, which is in news due to their property dispute that's worth over a staggering Rs. 600 crore!
Shandar, one of Kamaal Amrohi's three children, has now filed a case against his sister Rukhsar and brother Wasim stating that they have falsely pledged his shares in 'Mahal Pictures Pvt Ltd' (that owns the famous Kamaal Amrohi studio), to a company in Pune. As he was struggling his way through the cops to file a complaint, entered Preity Zinta, his 'adopted' daughter (who, of late has been tweeting about how difficult it is to file an FIR these days), who offered to shoulder his cause ahead. For starters, Shandar always took Preity Zinta as his daughter ever since he saw her films. No wonder then, he had announced that he would pass on all his property to Preity. Shandar, on his part, opined that he is battling not for money but for justice and that Preity is helping him fight it, despite strong opposition from the other family members.
Even as we publish this news, we just got the update that the High Court has adjourned further hearing on Shandar's plea till March 11.

HT City takes a ‘sexy’ detour...Source: | 6 Mar 2010 | 6:37 am "The background score of Road Movie is non-Indian" - Michael Brooks
How many of us ever thought that a Bollywood film would have music by a complete foreigner? Well that's exactly the case with the film Road, Movie. Famous Canadian Guitarist, Michael Brook has given background score for Dev Benegal's Road, Movie.
Michael has contributed to U2's famous album The Joshua Tree in the form of his invention - the infinite guitar and was also nominated for Grammy Awards in 1996 for his production work and as co-artist on Pakistani singer Nusrat fateh Ali Khan's album, Night Song. Apart from these, he has also contributed for the album Rock Paper Scissors. While for Hollywood, Michael has done a number of film sound tracks including the music for Albino Alligator, Mission Impossible 2, Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth and Sean Penn's critically acclaimed, Into The Wild. Bollywood Hungama spoke to Michael to find out more about his compositions and of course his experience of working in Bollywood.
The first question on everyone's mind is, how did Bollywood happen to you?
I had some connection with the producers from the past, and I believe that Dev Benegal, the director was aware of my music.
What made you sign Road, Movie?
A combination of the beauty and emotional resonance of the film and Dev's deep musical knowledge and creative ideas was enough cause and reason for me to say yes and sign the film.
What according to you is unique about its background music?
I'd say that the dominant aspect of the music is that it is quite distinctly non-Indian and strongly influenced by African music. This was Dev's concept to try and create an exotic but non-specific atmosphere. So in a way yes this is some unique kind of music.
The dominant aspect of the music is that it is quite distinctly non-Indian and strongly influenced by African music
From making music for popular bands, creating breakthroughs like inventing the Infinite Guitar, to making music for Hollywood big wigs to Bollywood now, how has the journey been?
Pretty good really. I'm extremely lucky to be able to do what I love to do and to earn a living. It's a very privileged position and I appreciate it. Also having a 2 1/2 year old son is an equally rewarding experience.
Tell us about your experience of Bollywood now that you have had a first hand taste of it?
I'm not sure that I really experienced Bollywood as all of the work was done in my studio at home and we didn't have the big dance and singing production numbers. Maybe my clichéd view of Bollywood is outdated. I have however played a concert in Chennai with Mandolin U. Srinivas and we did rehearse in some of the film studios, which was a very cool experience.
How different is Bollywood from its western counterpart?
My, again possibly not quite valid, impression is that Bollywood filmmaking is much more spontaneous and improvisatory than Hollywood. But I gather that Indian films are getting larger and more structured in their productions and that some film e.g. District 9, are being made more through an improvisatory process.
What was the biggest challenge while doing the music for an Indian film?
A big challenge was in trying to be other worldly without being unfocussed emotionally with the score.
Was the language a barrier?
The challenging part was that I don't have the same cultural history as Dev, or probably most Indians, and so some aspects of the film had a different resonance for him e.g. Scherazade.
You have also worked with Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, how did that come about?
I was asked by Peter Gabriel to work with Nusrat, probably based on what Peter heard in my first solo record Hybrid.
When I was in Pakistan, about 12 years ago, I saw some really great singers at a concert, but I really don't have much awareness of what is going on there now.
So what are your future plans about Bollywood, does it look promising and would you like to do more work here?
I don't have plans, but certainly would love to do more projects with Bollywood.
Certainly would love to do more projects with Bollywood
Do you think there is now more interaction between the Asian and American / European markets than before or is it just the 'Slumdog effect"?
I think that there has been a gradual increase in awareness of the richness and depth of Indian culture over the last 40 years. Slumdog gave a kind of turbo boost to that process and I hope that it continues.
I think that there has been a gradual increase in awareness of the richness and depth of Indian culture over the last 40 years
You've composed scores for Mission Impossible 2 & Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth too. Can you share some special moments from these experiences?
These two films are probably at opposite ends of the spectrum of my experiences. Both were good. On MI2, I was part of a very large team assembled by Hans Zimmer. It was great to work with so many people and I really enjoyed the kind of community of musicians and composers that I was part of. AIT was a much more delicate and solitary process, a great deal of which was trying to figure out where music should go. It turned out that we couldn't really have music when AL Gore was lecturing as it made it seem propogandish. So there is only music when he is talking about his life or events outside the lecture.
Having invented something like the Infinite Guitar, you must have a thing for instruments. What's your favourite Indian instrument?
My two favourite Indian instruments are the Shenai, particularly when played by Bismallah Khan, and the Veena.
Which one (Indian instrument) have you used the most in Road, Movie?
We didn't use Indian instruments.
The background score is one of the most important character of any film. Which film's background score has impressed you the most till date?
Recently I've come to appreciate the work of David Newman in his many scores, Wall-E, American Beauty, Cliff Martinez, Solaris, and of course the early work of the great Ennio Morricone. More recently, I thought that the score to Sherlock Holmes was really good
You must have been one of the first people to see Road, Movie - what was your reaction?
My first impression was of stunningly beautiful imagery and rich, intriguing characters.
Did Abhay Deol impress you as much as Tom Cruise?
Undoubtedly
Which other Indian artist (Music or Films) have you been introduced to and like hearing or watching?
I have been enjoying The Bombay Connection Volumes 1 and 2, collections of music from Bollywood films of the 60s and 70sSource: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 6 Mar 2010 | 6:37 am Salman Khan and Prachi Desai endorse Active Wheel
This is one of the most unexpected pairing. But still, as they say 'Anything is possible in Bollywood'. We are talking about the never before pairing of the macho Salman Khan alongwith the still 'Rocking On' Prachi Desai, who have come together in a TV commercial for Active Wheel.
The TVC has Salman cornering Prachi Desai, while she ignores him since she has to wash clothes. Then, Salman, in his typical style, tells her to wave goodbye to the old washing powder and say Hello to 'Active Wheel'. The ad has a romantic theme to it, almost like a Bollywood romantic song. What's more interesting and intriguing is the fact that Salman has also given voiceover for the ad.
Salman and Prachi surely make a beautiful pair on screen.Source: BollywoodHungama.com News | 6 Mar 2010 | 6:09 am Kajol favourite Bollywood daughter-in-law, says pollAcclaimed Bollywood actress Kajol who is married to actor Ajay Devgn for 11 years now, was voted the favourite 'bahu' (daughter-in law) in a poll conducted by a matrimonial site .Source: Entertainment News | 6 Mar 2010 | 5:31 am Razzie Awards 2010 nominations, latest updates - watch live coverage, videosThe stage is all set for the Razzie Awards 2010.

The National award-winning kid Shams Patel who plays a street orphan in Thanks Maa is not only a huge fan of Salman Khan but he likes to be known as 'Salman Khan' throughout the film.
Says the film's director Irfan Kamal, "In fact Salman plays a very important in the film. Shams' character is a big fan and we see posters of Salman's films like Tere Naam and Saawariya throughout the film. Considering how important Salman is to the theme I badly wanted to show my film to him. But he is too busy."
The film's director Irfan Kamal struggled for more than three years to put together his story of a street kid's search for an infant's mother.
Considering he's the son of the legendary choreographer Master Kamal (who made every glam-queen of the 1960s and 70s dance to his tunes) the least Irfan expected was the bigwigs of the industry to take note of the film.
Trying not to sound bitter, Irfan says, "I've knocked on every A-lister's door in our industry. Let alone help my small film in reaching out to the audience, no one has even agreed to see my film except Shabana Azmi, Javed Akhtar and David Dhawan. But it's ok. I'm not bitter. Of course my father was a very important part of this film industry. But why should I be granted any favours because of my father? I want my film to be judged on its own merits. But for that to happen people have to watch the film."
Irfan is keen that Salman watch the film. "Since Salman is a very important part of the script I want him to watch the film. In fact when I wrote Thanks Maa, the first person I narrated it to was Salman. He was very excited about the film then. I don't know what happened after that. Salman's father Salim Khan Saab has seen the film. But not Salman."
Irfan has been desperately trying to reach the actor. But he has been told Salman is busy shooting in Wahi and has no time to spare.
This of course is hard to believe, coming as it does from a star known to be all-heart and ready to drive down to the other end of the world to see a smile on a fan's face.
But all that has changed now, thanks to the female fan on a wheelchair whom last month Salman met, spoke kindly even gave money to. Now the lady has accused Salman of exploiting her handicap to promote his film and has demanded a huge sum of money from him. Says a source close to Salman, "He is very very hurt by this incident. Salmanbhai has always gone out of his way to be a people's person. But he has been in principle against ever using fans for publicity. The whole incident has made Salman cautious of the people who want to use his name."
But the question is, should Salman's large-heartedness be cramped by one incident?
Says the boy Shams Patel who plays Salman's fan. "I play Salman's fan in the film and I'm his biggest fan in real life. I really want him to watch the film."Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 6 Mar 2010 | 4:28 am 'No indication of foul play in Varadarajan's death': Police - The Hindu
Source: Entertainment - Google News | 6 Mar 2010 | 3:09 am Subhash K. Jha speaks about Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge?
Be Ajay Devgn and Konkona Sen Sharma's guest. Paresh Rawal makes the first bonafide guest appearance in our cinema.
And what pest this guest is! So many films about the guest as an intruder. But this one takes the creak. And yes we do mean creak. The plot sets out portray the bin bulaye mehmaan as a pest rather than a guest and finally spends agonizing playing time portraying him as a messiah in a dhoti.
Trust Paresh Rawal to get into the skin of his character. From first frame to the last, Paresh has a blast. He doesn't let go of a single moment of joy in embracing the role of the unwanted guest in Mumbai's very hectic self-absorbed nuclear family where, as Devgn says in his heated summing-up homily, even parents are not welcome after the first few days. What happened to good old-fashioned hospitality?
So how welcome is this film about an unwelcome guest? Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge has its entertaining moments. But it's essentially a one-episode sitcom. And you wonder how far the talented writer-director Ashwin Dheer will stretch this version of Hrishikesh Mukherjee's Bawarchi about the quirky and persistent stranger who changes a family's way of looking at life?
At mid-point director Dheer and his characters including the indefatigable Rawal run put of steam.
Post-interval the narration does a vivacious volte- face .Suddenly the boorish loudly burping belching and farting guest becomes a demi-god. A saviour spreading sunshine across the 4-walls of Devgns' well-appointed home. Rawal repairs all of Devgn and Konkona's domestic and work-related problems and leaves their home after having spread enough goodwill to do away with the other pollutant emissions in the first-half.
Dheer's writing is a skilled synthesis of satire and a strong message on the virtues of an extended family. Regrettably the passage from unwanted guest to atithi-almost-dev is achieved with not enough anand in the transition.
Many passages of the film are designed as very little more than diversion and deflections indicating the fracture in family values easily reparable with some persuasion from an old-fashioned rustic guest with values that suggest a deep connection between the religious scriptures and common sense.
Get Ganpati Bappa to visit your living room and it's all well for the world. Life in the cities is not that easy to fix. But no harm in creating interesting Mr Fix-It's on celluloid. The flawed but watch able film goes through a series of cleverly orchestrated fable-like chapters, none uninteresting, but most of them repetitive beyond a point. The whole track featuring Paresh with 'Kalia' (Viju Khote) on the sets of a film gets tedious after a point. Devgn and Konkona try to be funny. He is in -command of his comic world. She is above it. Konkona Sen needs to drastically expand her repertoire of expressions from grimace and grin to more far-reaching expressions of suburban serenity. There's an interesting cameo by Satish Kaushik (playing a harried film director) . And the funniest line comes from Kaushik when after repenting the way he allowed his wife to treat his mother Kaushik resolves to make a "Baghban type of film".
Atithi is just that. It starts off as a savage satire on the perils of hospitality but ends up as another Baghban.
Finally you aren't watching a film about family ties but a film that ties up the family in reams and reams of comic chaos. Vulgarity and double-meanings strictly not admissible.Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 6 Mar 2010 | 2:16 am
