Preity, Ness want hip-hop balle balle

Like Shah Rukh Khan, Preity Zinta and Ness Wadia too are leaving no stone unturned to promote their IPL cricket teams. While SRK has already completed and launched his first music video in Kolkata and Mumbai, Preity has just completed shooting her IPL music video for her Mohali team.

Winding up early

Says a source, “Preity Zinta was to shoot at a studio in Saki Naka and initially had trouble completing her music video. They were shooting last Friday but had to wind up early as Salman Khan, Dara Singh, and some cricketers who were to be part of the video didn’t turn up. Sajid-Wajid will compose the music and had their first sitting at Ness Wadia’s home. Preity has opened her own production company called P Zinta Film World and is doing the shooting through her own company.”

When we checked with Preity, who is currently travelling, she e-mailed us back saying, “The actor and cricketer part is untrue. We did shoot for a video. Everything else reported is a rumour. There were no problems whatsoever. The video was made under my company P. Zinta Film World. All details of the video will be announced at a press conference and we would not like to discuss it now.”

It’s rocking!

Music director Sajid (of the Sajid-Wajid duo) says, “We have composed the music for Preity’s IPL music video. In fact, Wajid and I have acted for the first time in the video. We recently finished shooting for it. It’s a crazy, exciting video directed by ad filmmaker Ram Madhvani.

After our hits, Partner and Welcome, this music video will be the next hottest thing. It’s very Punjabi, is sung by Daler Mehndi and has rocking dance numbers with unbelievable bhangra. There are other people in the video.”

Shah Rukh Khan and Vijay Mallya have also made music videos for their Kolkata and Bangalore IPL teams. Vishal-Shekhar have composed the music for SRK’s music video.

Dance with the Deols

The buzz is that Preity is in talks with Bobby and Sunny Deol for her music video. A source adds, “She is very keen on getting Sunny and Bobby for the song. She’s best friends with Bobby and he’s trying to work out dates he can commit to her.”

If all goes well, Preity will not only have the brothers but also Dharam paaji in the video. “She wants to capture the essence of the Deol family. Preity has been chasing Bobby and he is very keen to appearing in the video too.”
