Vishal
Dadlani
of
Vishal-Shekhar
fame
has
composed
music
for
big
names
in
Bollywood
like
Salaam
Namaste
and
Dus.
And
now,
he
will
be
seen
making
a
cameo
in
a
Farah
Khan's
directorial
venture
Om
Shanti
Om.
Vishal
is
the
vocalist
of
one
of
Mumbai's
hottest
rock
bands
called
Pentagram.
He
was
also
a
VJ
at
Channel
V
for
a
brief
period
of
time.
The
uber
cool
composer
was
doing
the
music
of
Om
Shanti
Om,
when
Farah
walked
up
to
him
and
offered
him
a
part
in
her
film.
Says
Vishal,"I
was
just
working
on
the
music
for
Farah's
film
Om
Shanti
Om.
She
came
up
to
me
and
asked
me
to
do
this
small
part.
I
got
into
it
because
I
happened
to
be
available." And
so,
Vishal
did
the
part
in
the
same
clothes
that
he
was
wearing
at
the
time!
He
obviously
had
no
time
to
change
into
anything
else.
Did
he
do
any
sort
of
preparations
for
the
part?
"I
am
not
an
actor",
quips
Vishal,
"So
I
was
not
at
all
ready
for
it.
It
was
hardly
a
role;
my
part
was
only
for
30
seconds."
Om
Shanti
Om
stars
Farah's
good
friend
Shah
Rukh
Khan
and
debutante
Deepika
Padukone
in
the
lead.
The
film
is
slated
for
a
late
2007
release.
Incidentally,
his
composer
partner
Shekhar
Ravjiani
had
played
a
walkon
part
in
the
film
Home
Delivery.
