Stewart sits on a private jet in London on his way to a consulting gig in
Yorkshire. A week earlier, he was in the studio with Mick Jagger, singer
Joss Stone,*Slumdog Millionaire* composer A.R. Rahman, and reggae scion
Damian Marley for a stealth supergroup he's building. (That's not a first
for Stewart: The Traveling Wilburys came together in his backyard while he
was entertaining Bob Dylan and George Harrison.) The details are still being
worked out, but if plans proceed, Nokia and major phone carriers will
partner in presenting the band to the world.

Before the plane takes off, Stewart mentions yet another project he's
working on. "I've written a story about this Indian boy who finds a Nokia
phone and starts playing *Dance Fabulous*," he says. "He's quite good, but
also quite poor. He convinces his family to drive to Mumbai for a big dance
competition -- sort of like *Little Miss Sunshine*. There's a character
played by Cindy who is going to be the host of the show and it's going to be
a love story, like*Slumdog*. So anyway, I've sold the idea and it's going to
be a movie called *Street Dancing*, and A.R. Rahman is going to take the
songs I wrote with Cindy and remix them in a Bollywood style. Pretty great,
right?"
