The star cast of Om Shanti Om continues to swell. We're well aware of topnotch stars like Sanjay Dutt, Salman Khan, Saif Ali Khan and many others featuring in a pivotal song in this keenly anticipated film, but there's more to look forward to. SRK and director Farah Khan have roped in Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan and Hritik Roshan as well, not for the song in question, but a scene preceding the talked-about star-studded song.

However, the three actors have yet to shoot for the film. “That's true," Farah confirms the development. Why aren't the three part of the famed song? “In the film, the three are the final contenders for the Filmfare Best Actor Award and since they lose the award to SRK, it would look odd if we showed them sing and dance in the post-awards celebration party-song," she clarifies.

Meanwhile, SRK and Farah have decided to launch the music of the film with pomp and gaiety on 18th September at a suburban hotel.

On the personal front, Farah has started supervising the post-production work from the cool comforts of her home and there's a valid reason for it. Farah and husband Shirish Kunder are going to become parents soon -- Farah is expecting triplets.
