Konvict in Mumbai

Dont know if you guys already heard, but Akon is going to be in Mumbai on Monday, March 8, 2009. Crazy right? Well rumor has it, he's going to be recording a song for Vishal-Shekhar for Anubhav Sinha's upcoming film, Ra. 1.  He's only planning to be in town for 2 days and then quietly slipping away. This isnt the 1st time he's had a runaround with bollywood. He previously recorded a song in the US with Aadesh Srivastav. I'm actually looking forward to hearing the song and seeing what they can come up with since Akon has a really different voice. They even made a music video. Hopefully it's a good one, and not like Singh is Kinng. (I think that video and song with Snoop Dogg was horrible)

I'm not quite sure how much I like Hollywood meeting Bollywood though, and all the hindi music with english parts. To me sometimes it really ruins a song and sometimes it can improve one. But either way, Bollywood should stick with its own roots. Come on Bollywood, what happened to being original? Why is everyong trying so hard to be western? You dont see all of Hollywood trying to convert into Bollywood. What do you guys think? Do you like the english lines in the hindi music?
