| Khiladi Kumar on a 'Shopping Spree' with Snoop-Dog By Webmaster, 18 July, 2008 |
 Akshay Kumar-Snoop Dogg, the new buddies in the entertainment biz went on a shopping spree in Chicago and it cost Vipul Shah a bomb.When Snoop Dogg decided to do a rap-romp with Akshay Kumar for a music video, he didn't know what he was getting into. And though it was contractually decided that Snoop Dogg would be using his own crew and clothes for the shooting, in no time Akshay had the rapper gorging Indian food and wearing desi clothes. Laughs producer Vipul Shah, "We finally shot the song in Chicago. According to the contract, everything in the shoot including the clothes were to be done by Snoop Dogg's crew. But Akshay decided to shop for his own clothes and persuaded Snoop Dogg to accompany him. They bought themselves a sherwani and a pugdi each. Plus a whole lot of accessories for the song. Akshay convinced Snoop to dress up like a Sardarji for the song. The rapper sportingly agreed, although he's known to never go beyond his contract." Vipul adds, "It's not easy to shop for sherwanis and pugdis in Chicago. They ran up a bill of US$ 10,000. To his credit, Akshay paid his own share and told me he'd use all the stuff he had bought beyond my film including the golden jacket that you'll see in all the hoardings. But yes, I did have to foot Snoop Dogg's bill of US$ 5,000." |
