International pop star to sing for AR Rahman

Kylie Minogue, the international pop star, will croon for the first time for ace Indian music director AR Rahman. It may be noted that earlier Madonna was approached but she could not confirm her participation due to her ongoing divorce. Kylie Minogue has reportedly been paid Rs. 5 crores for this deal.

The song will be shot for the Bollywood film Blue, which stars Akshay Kumar, Sanjay Dutt and Lara Dutta, probably in Hollywood. It is expected that Kylie will visit India sometime in January 2009 for the song recording. The budget of Blue has so far touched Rs. 130 crores, minus Kylie's pay and other expenses.
