Mumbai is abuzz with the news of the Men In Black star Will Smith coming to town. However, what no one knows is that Smith is coming to town with the express purpose of launching Sony Entertainment's new English-language channel Sony Pix.

While he's here, Will will make a guest appearance on Sony's Indian Idol. Confirming the telecasting coup, Sony's head of on-air programming Anupama Mandloi says, "Will Smith is indeed coming to Mumbai to launch our channel and to participate in the Filmfare awards next week. While he's here, he'll be making an appearance on Indian Idol in the episode where Karan Johar features as guest-judge. Will Smith will obviously not contribute to judging of the contestants. But he's quite a music person. Also, we have plans to get another Sony artiste, Ricky Martin, to come on the show."

Sony TV, in fact, has plans to fill Indian Idol with celebrity guests from now, right up to the finals.
