Pop star Kylie arrives in Mumbai
International pop star Kylie Minogue arrived in Mumbai yesterday to film the video for the Sanjay Dutt- Akhay Kumar starrer Blue. The actress turned singer is expected to stay in the city for a week.
“She made a quiet entry into the city yesterday evening. She is staying at The Renaissance in Powai. That is better for her as they will be filming in Film City. They will be filming for the song in the coming week. Sanjay Dutt and Akshay Kumar will also feature in the video,” informs a source from the production house.
It is believed that Kylie was paid almost 5 crores to appear on the one track in the film. The song was recorded with A R Rahman in London the day after the musical genius bagged the BAFTA for his score for Danny Boyles Oscar winning Slumdog Millionaire.
“After all the hype the Snoop Dogg video created for Singh is Kinng, the producers of Blue thought of bringing another international artist to Bollywood. Akshay will croon with the hot singer for a video for the film,” adds the source, “But unlike Snoop’s video here Kylie is flying down to Mumbai to shoot the video with Sanjay Dutt and Akshay. Numerous international artists were in the running to be a part of Blue. Fergie, the lead singer of Black Eyed Peas, and Rihanna were also in the running as was Madonna. But Madonna turned out to be too expensive. Fergie and Kylie both showed massive interest but it was also about their availability. Ashtvinayak – the producers of the film – and director Anthony D’Souza are going to direct the video themselves.”
The singer was expected to visit Akshay Kumar's home later today. "She has been personally invited by Akshay to his home. She will spend most of the evening there before heading out for some appearances.," says the source.
