Celina turns singer

Celina Jaitley

Former beauty queen and actress Celina Jaitley has crooned for a Bollywood style human rights single for the United Nations (UN). Jaitley, who is the Goodwill Ambassador for Human Rights Free and Equal Campaign, has re-recorded legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar’s popular number from Baton Baton Mein titled, Uthe sabke kadam. Confirming the news, the actress said, “Yes. Doing something for a cause that I support gives me immense pleasure. Music is the best way to reach people across borders. I am a little nervous, since it is a track sung by Lata Mangeshkarji, but the experience will surely be worth it.” The song has been re-composed by Neeraj Shridhar and will aim at promoting the cause of Lesbian Gay Bi-sexual Transgender (LGBT) rights across the country, a cause that is very dear to Jaitley. A special music video has also been shot and Sa Re Ga Ma has acquired the rights of this song.

Honey Singh to compose for Shaukeen remake

Rapper and composer Yo Yo Honey Singh, who recently completed a hectic tour in Brazil, South Africa and Dubai, has cancelled his US tour as he will be working on creating a few compositions for good friend and actor Akshay Kumar’s next, Shaukeen. The singer had earlier worked with Kumar in films like Khiladi 786 and Boss. Singh was initially asked to work on one song, but thanks to his enthusiasm and willingness to work more, the ‘Blue eyes’ singer will now compose three songs for the film.
