Popular Colombian pop sensation Shakira, 33, is all set to make her debut in Bollywood.�Published reports say the Colombian singer, whose full name is Shakira IsabelMebarak Ripoll will sing a Latin-influenced solo dancenumber�for a Bollywood movie directed by Prashant Chadha (AAP KAA SURROOR) which will be shot in China-Germany-Czech Republic-Morocco and expected to be released in�summer�2011. The movie is yet to be titled.
Music composer duo Salim Merchant and Suleiman Merchant will compose the Shakira number�and recording is expected to start in about a month. The song, whose lyrics will be in English with a smattering of Hindi, will be filmed on South African model Candice�Boucher, but Shakira might possibly make a cameo appearance.
Energy drink owner Sachin Joshi, who is producing the film, will also star in the film.
Shakira will thus be following the footsteps of British dance-pop singer Samantha Fox (Kickin It Old Skool), Australian actress-singer Kylie Minogue (Neighbours), and American singer-songwriter Akon (Locked Up), who have ventured into Bollywood in the past. Oscar winner actor-musician Russell Crowe (GLADIATOR) also reportedly expressed his interest recently to sing and dance in Bollywood movies.
Grammy award�winner and�Golden�Globe nominated singer-songwriter-musician-record producer-dancer-philanthropist Shakira (Love in the Time of Cholera), has sold about 50 million albums worldwide. She reportedly performed live in Mumbai and other cities of India in 2007.
