Reports have been flying that uber sexy Australian songbird Kylie Minogue is set to record and star in a track for upcoming Bollywood film, Blue! Kylie will jet set to Mumbai next month to record the track with music maestro A.R. Rahman ! The song is said to be an up tempo disco number that’s right up Kylie Minogue’s alley. Although she hasn’t given official word yet, here’s what she had to say, “I will be able to give an official quote on Thursday, once the contract is signed.” Yet, as happy as the producers, director and A.R. Rahman are, Kylie Minogue wasn’t the music genius’ first choice for the number. Rumor is material mom Madonna was the first pick, but she declined. Then fashion diva Rihanna was the next choice, but apparently she wanted too much cash for the deal! How much more does this millionaire chick want?! So alas, they had to settle with another top selling, world renowned pop artist!
This isn’t Kylie Minogue’s first brush with Bollywood she performed at the lavish Mittal wedding in 2004. The wedding was for steel magnate Laxmi Mittal’s daughter and was, at the time, the most expensive wedding to date complete with Bollywood star stage shows and Kylie Minogue! She performed a half hour set in a short black dress for one thousand guests. So it looks like Kylie Minogue has some experience when it comes to tempting Indian audiences. Blue stars Akshay Kumar, Sanjay Dutt, Zayed Khan, Lara Dutta and Katrina Kaif and is an underwater thriller that features three friends searching for lost treasure in the deep blue sea. It’s reportedly the most expensive Bollywood film to date with the tab at $28 million!
