American choreographer Flexy has especially been roped in by producer Rakesh Roshan for this song.Before the song’s shooting began, Hrithik and Kangana rehearsed under Flexy’s guidance for days.

Deepika Padukone Chinki eyes

Deepika Padukone is looking ravishing in her two completely different get-ups for the film Chandni Chowk to China , co-starring Akshay Kumar. It's being widely speculated that the actress plays a double role in the film. But is it really a double role for Deepika Padukone or is the news just some producer's gimmick to lure the audiences?

Deepika clarifies, "It's actually a double role and no publicity gimmick. I play two different characters in Chandni Chowk To China , one is an Indian called Sukhi, and the other is a Chinese girl, Meow Meow. The Chinese character is a pro at martial arts for which I had to undergo four months of rigorous training before the film started."

There was buzz that Deepika Padukone had to use adhesive tapes on her face so that her eyes would stretch for the Chinese look. True? "We had thought of that initially but it wasn't a good idea to use tapes, they're bad for the skin," says the actor, "My makeup artist came up with a simpler solution and used the eyeliner in such a way that it gave my eyes the Chinese tweak," she laughed.

Katrina Kaif Rescued by Akshay Kumar

Akshay Kumar played the real hero and rescued Katrina Kaif after she injured herself while shooting the climax scene of De Dhana Dhan .
Akki and Kat are set to weave their magic again in Priyadarshan’s upcoming comedy, which also stars the rest of Hera Pheri gang – Paresh Rawal and Sunil Shetty . But ‘Hera Pheri 3’ this film is not.
The movie is a comedy revolving around several madcap characters. The climax scene shows all of them getting swept by a tsunami. The shooting was recently going on in Mumbai’s Film City where gallons of water was used to create a tsunami.
While shooting the scene with Akshay and other stars, Katrina suffered a minor mishap. Her foot got stuck in something underwater. She yelled for help but in the noise and din on the sets none heard her. None except Akshay, who dived into water and swam to Kat and rescued her in time.
The actress got away with a bruise on her leg, though it might have been worse had Akshay not appeared at the right moment.
Meanwhile, almost all the stars who’ve been shooting the tsunami sequence have been falling ill. Being in water for hours has taken a toll on their health.
After the Mumbai schedule, the film’s cast and crew would move to Singapore for the next schedule.
However, with Akki and Katrina teaming up with Sunil and Paresh, we expect the quartet to unleash a tsunami of chuckles!
