Shakalaka baby song from this film was a huge hit in India when the film released. Now, the same song has the Chinese youngsters grooving to Rahman’s music.


The BBC Asian Network in UK will engage publicist Dale Bhagwagar in a Live telephonic interactive radio discussion with its listeners this Saturday (Oct 27) about the ongoing Shahid Kapur-Kareena Kapoor hoopla. Dale will give his frank inputs on the subject of 'publicity stunts' and whether the Shahid-Kareena episode smells of the same. He has promised to unravel the mystery to the Brits in this free, frank and bold discussion. Meanwhile, in his weekly column 'Ask Dale' on IndiaFM, the publicist has said, "From a PR point of view, Shahid can either play cry-baby and portray himself as a bechara attracting public sympathy, or he can say that it doesn't bother him if Kareena left him. But Shahid is toeing a better line right now. He is saying that he is moving on in life". "Even if he is being diplomatic in the way he is handling the media, there's no denying that given the situation, it's the best path he can take at the moment," Dale added.You can catch the Live discussion at 10am GMT, Saturday, October 27, on the BBC Asian Network.
