Farah
Khan
could
well
be
thanking
her
stars.
She
finalised
Salman
Khan
to
shoot
for
her
special
'qawalli'
in
Tees
Maar
Khan
much
before
Dabangg
turned
into
a
phenomenal
success.
Now
as
Salman
is
enjoying
all
the
accolades
coming
his
way,
he
has
a
commitment
with
Farah
for
this
'qawalli',
the
shooting
of
which
would
be
held
in
a
week's
time
from
now.
Though
for
last
few
days,
there
have
been
number
of
rumours
floating
around
this
'qawalli'
and
the
stars
who
would
feature
in
it,
the
director
confirms
that
not
just
would
this
be
an
extra
special
sequence
in
the
film,
it
would
also
feature
Akshay
Kumar
and
Salman
right
through
the
song's
duration
with
Katrina
Kaif
joining
the
duo
in
its
second
half.
"Actually
even
before
I
had
finalised
Salman
for
the
'qawalli',
media
had
already
made
up
its
mind
to
have
him
as
the
man
who
would
give
company
to
Akshay.
To
begin
with,
Salman
and
I
had
a
good
laugh
over
it
but
then
later
both
of
us
thought
it
won't
be
a
bad
idea
after
all.
Salman
is
a
sweet
heart;
the
moment
he
realised
that
I
was
serious,
he
was
game
for
it.
He
is
a
very
honest
and
straight
forward
man
and
immediately
said
ki
chal
yeh
song
karte
hain
(lets
do
the
song),
maza
aayega
(we
will
enjoy
it).
So
here
we
are",
says
Farah
who
had
earlier
roped
in
Salman
for
a
cameo
appearance
for
the
star
studded
'Deewangee'
track
in
Om
Shanti
Om.
Since
the
entire
shooting
of
Tees
Maar
Khan
has
already
been
wrapped,
is
this
'qawalli'
a
late
decision
in
the
film?
After
all
right
through
the
shoot
of
the
film,
one
never
heard
about
any
such
plans
from
her
or
Shirish
(Kunder)
who
has
written
the
film.
"Issme
zyaada
bolne
waali
kya
baat
thi?
(there
is
nothing
more
to
say
about
it)
Jab
time
aaya
shoot
karne
ka
toh
we
ended
up
talking
about
it",
smiles
Farah,
"There
was
always
a
place
in
the
film's
narrative
for
this
song
sequence.
It
was
not
an
after
thought
at
all.
What
was
not
finalised
though
was
the
setting
of
the
song.
It
could
have
been
a
club
song
or
anything
else." However,
Farah
was
quick
to
shoot
down
the
option
of
including
a
club
song
in
Tees
Maar
Khan.
"There
have
been
so
many
club
songs
that
I
myself
have
choreographed
in
the
past
ki
main
khud
bore
ho
gayi
hoon(i
am
so
bored
of
them)",
confesses
Farah,
"I
wanted
something
different
and
this
is
how
the
'qawalli' setting
was
decided.
Once
I
discussed
this
with
Shirish,
he
too
was
pretty
convinced
and
this
is
when
we
started
looking
for
another
actor
to
give
company
to
Akshay.
Trust
me;
with
Salman,
Akshay
and
Katrina,
this
is
going
to
be
a
special
song
for
sure."
We
are
waiting
for
sure
Farah
as
long
as
you
can
bring
on
yet
another
'Deewangee'
[Om
Shanti
Om]
or
'Tumse
Milke
Dil
Ka
Hai
Jo
Haal
Kya
Karein'
[Main
Hoon
Naa]!
