Confirming that Salman's moves were consciously modeled on the lines of Dharmendra's famous dance steps, choreographer Rajeev Surti said, "When we were discussing the choreography, Salman bhai suggested that we incorporate Dharamji's famous moves. He is a big Dharmendra fan and felt that the steps would go really well with the fun feel of the song. He managed to ape Dharamji's moves perfectly and has even added his own unique flavour to them."

Incidentally, when the number was being shot, French President Nicolas Sarkozy had just won the six month presidency of the EU, and to celebrate this momentous occasion, the entire Eiffel Tower was lit up in blue and gold which was an extremely rare sight. "We were lucky to grab that rare sight," added director Vipul Shah

With so much happening while filming this song, viewers certainly have more than one reason to check out the full song when London Dreams releases on October 30.

LaOpala, the leader in glass tableware manufacturing, has roped in none other than the 'Bong-shell' Bipasha Basu to promote their new range of crockery called 'Diva'. Going by the 'never-say-end' list of her brand endorsements, one can easily say that Bipasha indeed has positioned herself as a superhot property, not just in Bollywood, but also in ad-land!

Speaking to Bollywood Hungama, Manish Jain, Vice President-Marketing & Sales, said that, "We have positioned our new brand Diva as a stylish and a fashionable one. Bipasha Basu also enjoys the same position in Bollywood. It only becomes needless to say that both of them go hand-in-hand. That's the reason why we roped in Bipasha Basu." Talking about this association, Bipasha Basu said, "I am very happy to be associated with the premium brand of crockery like Diva, which is first of its kind in the Indian crockery industry. The Diva range also has elegant designs, mostly targeted towards the modern women. I would love to have a selection of this range in my kitchen".

With Bipasha endorsing the Diva range of LaOpala, all that one can say is that 'One Diva truly deserves another'. What say...La Bipasha!

It looks like the music video, featuring Jermaine Jackson and Adnan Sami paying a tribute to the various sights, sounds and scales of Mumbai city, is jinxed. Initially, permission was denied to shoot in certain sensitive parts of Mumbai as both Adnan and Jermaine are not Indian citizens.

Adnan had to use all his influence to get shooting permissions at places like the Gateway of India.

Then last week, on the day when the video was to be shot, the rains washed away all of Adnan and Jermaine's plans.

Finally, on Friday the shooting started in various parts of the Mumbai. But on the last day of the shoot, which was a Sunday, almost ended in catastrophe, as Adnan got injured in the sea waters near the Gateway of India. A speedboat sped a little too fast in the sea near the Gateway and Adnan, who was shooting with Jermaine Jackson, was badly hurt.

"Nothing to worry about though. I'll be repaired in no time at all," said Adnan from his home, a day after the injury.

So what happened? Adnan tries to play down the potentially calamitous sequence of events when the boat was shot tearing the sea waters and heading towards the Gateway.

"I guess the man navigating the boat took his job a little too seriously. He was moving too fast through the water and the boat almost toppled over and turned turtle. I was knocked against a hard surface in the boat."

Adnan's left hand and thumb was badly injured. "Fortunately, there are no fractures. But the pain and swelling were alarming. I couldn't move my hand. But we had to continue shooting because we had no permission to shoot in that area beyond Sunday."

Adnan lived through the ordeal with painkiller- shots to subside the pain.

"I'm just thankful that Jermaine wasn't in the boat when it almost capsized. That would've been one helluva story he'd have carried back home," chuckled Adnan from his home where he's now recovering.

There is a clear connect between how we want each of our films to be exceptional and diverse in various aspects and how Anurag treats each of his projects. Dev D, a UTV Spotboy movie directed by Anurag, was a blockbuster and set the base for a phenomenal working relationship. Now, we want to take this association forward with a long term perspective, and that is exactly how this idea came about."

Anurag Kashyap also seemed elated on signing this deal. He said, "I am very happy to sign up with UTV because it gives me the freedom to make the kind of films I want to and I feel UTV supports as well as enhances my creative process.
