Apoorva Lakhia’s full-on action movie Mission Istanbul has just got a little more glamorous.
The film with a dominating male cast will have some oomph quotient as well, thanks to the hot and famous Turkish belly dancer Tanyeli.
Since a major part of the film is set in Turkey, Lakhia thought it was natural to have a song with belly dance in the film. And when the director saw Tanyeli at a wedding recently, he knew she was the girl he wanted for the number.
The film’s production house, Sunil Shetty’s Popcorn Entertainment, approached her for the item and Tanyeli agreed immediately.
And on Friday, she shot the sizzling song with Zayed Khan at Mumbai’s Filmistan Studios. The song has Tanyeli displaying her belly dancing art.
Tanyeli has been into belly dancing for last 15 years. She’s been a regular face on Turkish television. She has also acted in stage musicals. Over the years Tanyeli has introduced her unique style of belly dancing to countries such as Brazil, Germany, Italy, Austria, Belgium, South Korea, Japan and India.
‘Mission Istanbul’ also has a song sung by Turkish pop icon Petek Dincoz.
