Jay Leno ropes in Sophie Choudry for automobile mini-film

Sophie Choudry is thrilled with her association with popular TV icon Jay Leno, the singer-actor recently contributed to an automobile minifilm commissioned by the American chat show host. Known for his impressive automobile collection, Jay Leno recently added the low-cost Indian four-wheeler to his wish-list, commissioning a mini-video to capture the entire process from production stages to its delivery in the star’s Los Angeles garage, background music of which was arranged by the Indo-British singer.

Talking about her association, Sophie Choudry says, “It’s an honor to a part of his pet project - I’m glad that they decided to use three of my songs for the film.” Not only did Sophie Choudry contribute to the background music for the project, but also styled him for the same, in suave Indian couture courtesy Manav Gangwani.

“I suggested to the team that they get Jay out of his usual denims and put him in a sherwani for this episode. Fortunately, they loved the idea so I got them connected with Delhi-based couturier Manav Gangwani who designed it,” adds Sophie.

If that wasn’t all, Sophie will also show the television star around on his trip to India. The singer-actor confirms, “I’m looking forward to hosting him in 2013. I’d be more than happy to show him around Mumbai and introduce him to some of the coolest folks in the city and fellow car-enthusiasts like himself. He arranged an Indian dance troupe in LA to welcome the car but I’ll be giving him a grand Indian welcome.”
