American hip hop superstar Snoop Dogg and king of Bollywood Akshay Kumar have come together in a collaboration that heralds the first of its kind, as Snoop Dogg records hip hop music video for forthcoming blockbuster release, 'Singh is Kinng' (releasing Friday 8th August 2008). For the music video, Snoop was taught how to dance Bhangra style and effortlessly performed a traditional Punjabi style dance donned in Indian clothes.

The lavish video for title track of Singh is Kinng was shot at a budget of Rupees 20 million (US$467 700) and was themed around the world’s biggest film industry – Bollywood. According to the contract, the rapper was to have his own crew and clothes however Akshay succeeded in convincing Snoop to don Indian clothes and accessories in the song!

Film Producer Vipul A. Shah said,"Snoop wants to do a Hindi movie with Akshay, as he is really keen on wooing the Indian audiences. The most interesting aspect of the song is that one gets to see two very different styles - Hip Hop with Snoop and Bhangra with Akshay. Their chemistry was worth seeing as they're superstars from two different worlds. To say the least, the video is looking brilliant!"

While the video of the title track will be released on television closer to the theatrical release of Singh Is Kinng, the song, which Snoop Dogg recorded alongside UK based Bhangra outfit, RDB, has been the first track to be released from the film’s soundtrack.
