SRK checks if Shakira's hips lie!
Shah Rukh Khan will be checking out if Shakira's hips lie in an item number in Farah Khan's Om Shanti Om.
Our source close to Farah, informs, "Farah had choreographed Shakira's Hip Don't Lie number for the MTV America at Radio City, New York, last September. They had bonded big time and Shakira had shown keen interest in doing a dance number in a Bollywood film. When last month Shakira was in Mumbai for her show, Farah had met her and there was a discussion about the song number to be picturised later next month. The item song has already been recorded by the film's music directors Vishal Shekhar."
Farah had earlier been quoted saying about Shakira, "She has seen my Chaiyyan Chaiyyan song from Dil Se. She keeps pointing to Shah Rukh in the song and exclaims – 'I know that guy'. I told her he's the Tom Cruise of India . I've promised her I'd put her on top of a train when I do a music video with her."
"May be perhaps a part of SRK's Om Shanti Om number with Shakira be shot on a moving train ala Chaiyyan Chaiyyan." adds our source.
Apparently in Sajid's film, the King Khan will be dancing with 16 Bollywood beauties - Amisha Patel, Celina Jaitley, Koena Mitra, Dia Mirza, Shamita Shetty, Neha Dhupia, Malaika and sister Amrita Arora, Amrita Rao, Tara Sharma, Minissha Lamba, Riya Sen, Sophie Chaudhary, Masumi Makhija, Aarti Chhabria and Hrishita Bhatt. That song shall be choreographed by Farah as well. The song also features Akshay Kumar and is put to tune by Shankar Ehsaan and Loy whom Sajid terms as Bollywood's most original music directors.
Sajid Khan refused to comment anything regarding SRK's dance number in Heyy Babyy, calling it too early to speak anything about the film. "I will give you all the info you need in May" he assured us. SRK is also close pals with Sajid Nadiadwala (Heyy Babyy producer) for whom he had done a small cameo and a dance sequence with Salman Khan in Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega (2000).
SRK has earlier featured in two items songs, Ishq Kamina in Shakti (2002) with Aishwarya Rai and Kaal dhamaal in Kaal (2005) with Malaika Arora. Incidentally both these numbers have been blockbuster hits.
Heyy Babyy stars Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan, Fardeen Khan and Ritesh Deshmukh in the lead roles. Om Shanti Om features SRK in a double role with newcomer Deepika Padukone, Shreyas
