Salaam Mumbai!: Sexy Kylie Minogue will be jetting into Mumbai next month to record a song composed by A R Rahman, for the upcoming multi-starrer Blue.

Snoop is King: Kylie is not the first foreign singer to sing in Bollywood. The recent blockbuster Singh is Kinng saw Snoop Dog shaking a leg with Akshay Kumar.
Hottie: Who can forget the ever gorgeous Tata Young dancing in the Bollywood megahit Dhoom with top stars like John Abraham and Abhishek Bachchan.
What a miss!: Not many of us know that Portugese pop sensation Nelly Furtado was once rumoured to be cast opposite Aamir Khan in Rang De Basanti. Unfortunately the role was given to Alice Patten.

Rahman connection: Vanessa Mae collaborated with A R Rahman to compose a track called Raga's Dance in her 2004 album, Choreography.
First choice: It is also being rumoured that Kylie Minogue was not the first choice for the song in Blue. Madonna and the popular R&B singer Rihanna were on the wish list of the film's producers.
Ravishing Rihanna: When things didn't materialize with Rihanna and Madge, Kylie emerged as the next best choice. And luckily, it all worked out. It is believed, the lady is charging a staggering amount of Rs five crores for the act.
