Rhythm Dhol Bass (RDB), a well-known UK band, will be singing a number under Himesh Reshammiya's baton in Vipul Shah's 'Namastey London'.

RDB, more known for their Bhangra music, is a group of three brothers from Bradford-Kuly, Manj and Surj Singh. This is the first time that they would be singing for a Bollywood film.

When contacted, Vipul Shah, did not seem keen to divulge any details. He said, "We are planning to have the RDB guys sing a song for us. Himesh may also sing with them. Nothing is finalised as yet. As of now, all that we know is that we do want to use RDB's vocals for one of the songs in 'Namastey London'.

Channel says singer refused to have a press meet with other judges of the talent hunt show saying he was too big to be seen with them

Success seems to have gone to Himesh Reshammiya's head. The singer was recently thrown out of the talent hunt show Fame X, a soon-to-be-aired programme on Sony Sab, for allegedly 'acting very pricey'.
Sony Sab had planned to rope in Himesh, Daler Mehndi and the MTV team of Nikhil Chinnappa and Cyrus Broacha as judges for the talent hunt show to be anchored by Sophie Choudhary.
"To begin with we decided to hold a press conference to announce the show. But each time we got a date fixed Himesh would tell us he couldn't do it. He demanded preferential treatment and told us that he would hold a separate press conference," revealed a source in Sony Sab.
Officials at Sony Sab said that Himesh was getting to be very difficult to handle. "Since our show is all about youngsters we though roping in the likes of Himesh, Daler and Ganesh Hegde made sense as they are seen as youth icons. But we were totally disappointed by Himesh's attitude," says another source at the channel.
Other than the drama around the press conference, sources at the channel say that Himesh also made unreasonable demands. "He kept insisting that he was far bigger than the rest and thus should be portrayed differently," says a source.
According to sources at the channel, Himesh was to get Rs 2 crore for the 84-day show. "Despite the attitude, we were ready to sign him on and hand over the cheque. But then we realised that his over all behaviour towards the other judges could land us in deeper trouble once the show was on air. So we dropped him from the show," said another source.
When Mumbai Mirror contacted Vikas Bahl, Sony Sab head, he refused to comment on the sacking. He, however, said, "We have finalised Daler Mehndi, Ganesh Hegde and the MTV team of Nikhil Chinnappa and Cyrus Broacha as our judges."
Despite repeated efforts Himesh Reshammiya was not available for comment.

A day to remember

IT was a grand party, which saw the Bollywood stars and television celebs attend. DJ Uday Shah celebrated his fourth wedding anniversary at a city-based restaurant. The party saw the famous music director Himesh Reshammiya with his best buddy and video director Prashant Chaddha walking in. DJ Akbar Sami, actor Rajesh Khattar and also actor-producer Vandana Sanjnani made their presence felt. The delicacy for the evening was the scrumptious Hyderabadi khaana, which all the guests gorged on. Uday and wife Sangita played perfect hosts for the party. It was indeed a memorable anniversary for both of them.
