Katrina Kaif, Bollywood’s new style icon who is usually seen in western clothes, has shot an entire song in saris for “Singh Is Kinng”. The actress says she loved the experience.
“Director Anees Bazmi was very clear that he wanted me to have an Indian look for the song. And what could have made me look more Indian than a sari? I thoroughly loved it. A sari makes a woman look so graceful and feminine,” Katrina said in a statement.
“Also, in the song Akshay imagines us dancing in the mysterious locales of Egypt,” she added.
An industry source said: “All popular songs that Katrina has done so far in her films have either had her in casual or formal wear. This is the first time that she has shot a song in a sari.”
Fashion designer Manish Malhotra has designed the saris that Katrina has flaunted in the song.
“This is for the first time that Manish has designed a costume for me. And his creations are just wonderful,” said Katrina.
Coincidentally, the song has been shot at the same location in Egypt where Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol filmed the popular song “Suraj hua madham” for “Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham”. (Read the article)

Amitabh Bachchan is known to sign on unusual roles and the latest is that the superstar will play his son Abhishek’s grandad in Rakeysh Mehra’s forthcoming “Dilli 6″.
Mehra’s semi-autobiographical film has Abhishek playing the lead and also stars Sonam Kapoor, who made her debut in “Saawariya”. He also roped in Amitabh to play a specially written cameo.
Confirming the news, Amitabh said: “I play Abhishek’s grandfather in Dilli 6.”
Interestingly, the film already has veteran actress Waheeda Rehman. And one of the Big B’s incentives for stepping into the picture so late is to share screen space with his favourite actress.
Amitabh has earlier worked with Mehra in “Aks”. And with “Dilli 6″ almost complete, Mehra already has plans of casting Amitabh in his next film unusually titled “Paanch Kaurav”.
“It’s too early to talk about ‘Paanch Kaurav’. But it’s in the caper-adventure genre. And it would be my third film with the Big B. I couldn’t get luckier. I’ve also done three films with Abhishek,” chuckled Mehra, whose last film was “Rang De Basanti”. (Read the article)

New Delhi, (IANS) Remembering “Voice of India” contest winner Ishmeet Singh as a “wonderful”, “down-to-earth” and “sincere” person, members of the Indian music industry said they were shocked by the drowning of the “dynamic singer” in the Maldives.
The 19-year-old, from a middle-class family in Ludhiana, Punjab, had gone to the Maldives for a promotional event with the music company with which he had a contract.
The singer left Mumbai Tuesday morning for the Maldives, where he was to perform Aug 1. However, he drowned Tuesday in a swimming pool at a beach resort.
Music composers Jatin Pandit and his brother Lalit Pandit, who co-judged Ishmeet on “Voice of India” (VOI), told IANS they were shocked by the news of Ishmeet’s death.
Jatin said: “I am shocked. He was an innocent boy. Ishmeet always had it in the back of his mind that he had to be the ‘VOI’ winner. I had even been to his house in Ludhiana and had food with his family. I know everyone in his house. I can’t believe he is no more. If he would have continued with the same zeal, he would have made his mark in the industry.”
Lalit revealed that he was working with Ishmeet on his album that is still in the composing stage and said the young singer’s death “is a very sad and terrible action of fate”.
“Ishmeet had recorded a song for one of his albums with me and it had turned out very well. I will see to it and ensure that the song is released and his voice reaches the people of India. His death has totally shocked me,” he said. (Read the article)
