She came, she shot, and she (apparently) broke quite a few hearts. If there
has been one personality from the world of glamour who managed to divert
media's attention from *Slumdog Millionaire* to something else in the week
gone by, it was Kylie Minogue. In the country for the shoot of a song and
dance sequence in the multi starrer
*Blue*<http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/stills/partiesnevents/Press_conference_of_Blue/index.html>,
she was quite comfortably the 'woman of the week'. However, she wasn't the
only woman who was the center of attraction since there was one more lady
who was pretty much in the limelight as far as the B-town was concerned. The
name was Farah Khan.

Calling the shots six months after choreographing '*Desi Girl*' [*Dostana*],
the director-choreographer made sure that her dance moves mattered once more
as she got together Kylie and Akshay Kumar on the same dance floor. As Kylie
flies back to Australia after completing her shoot for the song, Joginder
Tuteja catches up with Farah Khan and knows from her about the shoot,
alleged throwing of tantrums by Kylie and her reunion with Akshay Kumar.

*Kylie, Kylie and more Kylie. Now what is so special about her entire song?
Please, can you let go of the veil?
*This is a night club number which is supposed to be set in Bahamas.
However, we have replicated the same setup in Mumbai itself. The song has an
international setup to it and why just Bahamas; it could have suited even
New York or Miami.

*When you say the song has an 'international setting' to it, what exactly do
you mean? *
It means that we are not making a 'bhel-puri' by bringing in an
international artist like Kylie and then making her turn into a Bollywood
dancer. She is supposed to be what she is in real life and hence retains her
international appeal. It is with the arrival of Akshay Kumar in the song
which brings in an Indian element. A.R. Rahman has come up with another
great track where the first half featuring Kylie is in English with a
Western tune while the second half has Sonu Nigam coming behind the mike for
the 'bhangra' portion.

*So does the song belong to Kylie or Akshay? *
The song belongs to both of them. They both have equal footage in it. While
the first half has Kylie in it, the second half has more of Akshay.
