With
government
policies
clamping
down
heavily
on
the
participation
of
foreign
entertainers
in
Bollywood,
the
days
of
Kylie
Minogue
and
Snoop
Dogg
going
jiggy-wiggy
with
Akshay
Kumar
(in
the
films
Blue
and
Singh
Is
Kinng,
respectively)
are
now
over.
Recent
efforts
to
get
international
artistes
to
India
have
been
far
from
fruitful.
The
latest
example
being
Shakira
who
was
being
touted
as
the
item
girl
in
Anees
Bazmee's
No
Problem
as
too
the
lead
in
a
film
based
on
Hindu
goddess.
A
reliable
source
exposes
the
sham
behind
all
these
Bollywood
announcements
about
international
stars,
"99
percent
of
the
time
these
international
stars
are
not
even
aware
of
these
lofty
plans
in
India.
Filmmakers
in
Bollywood
have
access
only
to
international
entertainers'
agents
and
managers
whose
polite
non-committal
response
to
the
Bollywood
invitation
is
quickly
and
conveniently
construed
as
approval
by
Indian
filmmakers
and
announced
as
such."
Anees
Bazmee
tries
to
play
down
the
Shakira
card
when
asked
about
her
participation.
Says
Anees,
"There
was
no
time
to
get
any
international
celebrity.
Our
film
is
complete.
Our
first
trailer
was
out
with
Anjaana
Anjaani.
We
just
decided
to
add
an
extra
title
song.
And
we
felt
we
don't
really
need
outside
contributions.
Sushmita
and
Kangna
are
fabulous
dancers."
No
international
dance
floor
hottie?
'No
Problem'!
For
his
comedy
of
that
name
which
is
all
set
for
a
December
release,
director
Anees
Bazmee
has
decided
to
shoot
an
additional
song
with
the
two
sizzling
leading
ladies
of
the
film
Sushmita
Sen
and
Kangna
Ranaut
who
it
might
be
said
at
the
outset,
have
adopted
each
other
as
sisters.
But
the
number
that
Ahmed
Khan
will
choreograph
will
be
anything
but
sisterly.
The
two
lovely
ladies
will
pull
out
all
stops
in
front
of
the
camera
to
dance
like
two
devilish
divas
out
to
outdo
each
other.
Apparently,
the
role
models
given
to
Ahmed
Khan
go
back
to
Vyjayantimala
and
Helen
in
the
sizzling
dance
combat
in
the
1960s
Prince
and
Hema
Malini
and
Parveen
Babi
in
the
1970s'
spectacle
The
Burning
Train.
The
rest
of
the
male
cast-
Sanjay
Dutt,
Anil
Kapoor
and
Sunil
Shetty-
are
also
expected
to
join
the
two
sizzling
seductresses.
