Mumbai:
Six years back when Beyonce and Shakira came together for the song Beautiful Liar, it was deemed as one of the hottest music videos ever produced.
Now a song in Bipasha Basu's new film Jodi Breakers, named Bipasha sounds way too 'inspired' by the number featuring the two international hotties.
We wonder why music directors Salim and Suleiman would create something that sounds way too similar to the English track, and not expect it to be noticed?
Salim Merchant said, "I don't really know which song you are talking about, but what we have created is an original number. We make sure none of our music sounds similar to anyone else's. Even if it sounds similar, it will never be entirely the same."
On her part, Bipasha said, "A lot of people have been interested in using my name in songs, but I am very protective about it. But when Salim-Sulaiman came to me with this track I thought it would really work for the song. This is the first time my name has been used like this and it's very exciting."
The original English track goes - Oh, Beyonce, Beyonce...Oh, Shakira, Shakira. The alleged copy in Jodi Breakers goes - Oh Bipasha, Bipasha in the same tune.
The official song is yet to be out, but we heard the number on Bipasha's birthday party video, which was recently leaked over the internet.
Bipasha added, "All my friends are absolutely crazy about the song and we play it all the time." Ask her if she's aware of the Beyonce number and she said, "Oh really? I didn't know that."
Salim said, "May be you should listen to the whole song first."
