Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who is playing the role of a singer in Fanney Khan, is busy shooting for a special song for the movie. The track is being choreographed by ace-International choreographer Frank Gatson Jr., famous for working with celebrities like Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez and Rihanna in the past. In a recent interview to Mumbai Mirror, Frank talked about his Indian stint, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and much more...
