Priyanka Chopra will sizzle in an item number in the movie, becoming the third actress for a film whose hero is Irrfan Khan.
Deepika Padukone and Kareena Kapoor are already a part of the film, in which Shah Rukh also has a bit part.
The film's director Priyadarshan says it was easy for the superstar to get the actresses to do the walk-on parts.
"Since Shah Rukh plays a filmstar in the movie, I needed him to do some big glamorous song and dance numbers with some top heroines," Priyadarshan said, "I knew all he had to do was to pick up the phone and ask any of his leading ladies."
It is learnt that it was a toss-up between Rani Mukherji and Priyanka for the third item song.
"But after Rani appeared on Salman Khan's game show 'Dus Ka Dum' and knowing there's no love lost between Salman and Priyanka, the scales tilted automatically towards Priyanka," a source said.
Though SRK is a purana khiladi at the item number business, having done them earlier for Shakti, Kaal and Krazzy 4, this would be Priyanka's first.
Priyadarshan said he was currently shooting the song with Deepika, having already finished the one with Kareena much earlier.
The trend of big stars producing movies without themselves started with Aamir Khan launching his nephew Imran in Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na.
Inspired by the story of Lord Krishna and his childhood friend Sudama, a poor Brahmin, "Billoo Barber" tells the tale of a superstar and his pal Billoo (Irrfan Khan), who is a barber by profession.
