The song and dance never got so starry in Bollywood. As many as thirty famous film personalities danced to the title song of Farah Khan’s next film Om Shanti Om It is something unprecedented in Bollywood. While Sajid Khan shot a song with twenty actresses for his movie Hey Baby , Farah Khan has gone many steps further to shoot the title song of ‘Om Shanti Om’ which stars Shah Rukh Khan in the lead role and is produced by SRK’s Red Chillies Entertainment.
The song features 15 popular actors and 15 popular actresses from Hindi film industry.
‘Om Shanti Om’ is based on the film industry. In the movie, Shah Rukh plays an actor named Om Kapoor. The title song comes in a scene when Om wins a big award and throws a party in which the who’s who of film industry are invited.
Farah says she and SRK together approached these actors and actresses for appearance in the song. Even the reclusive actors like Dharmendra, Rekha, Mithun and Tabu happily agreed to be part of the song.
The filming of the song turned out to be fun for the actors. It is learnt that Salman, Saif and Sanju gelled very well. And when Dharmendra walked on the sets, Salman got so excited that he actually took off his shirt.
On the other hand, Tabu and Urmila cheered for Karisma who hasn’t acted in any movie since her marriage.
