Gurinder Chadha Invited to Join the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences

Congratulations from DESIBLOG to Gurinder Chadha on her invitationto join the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (The Academy).

Also, the Times of India has published an interiew with Chadha where she discusses her upcoming film, starring Aishwarya Rai and Martin Henderson.

And from the article, a nice little tidbit, that I think is going to add a whole other dimension to the desification of hip-hop. It turns out the hip-hop star Ashanti has sung a Hindi track for the film entitled Payal Bajake. Chadha had Ashanti come to Goa to do the shoot, and made her up like the old-skool bollywood star Helen. The interview also has Chadha dishing on Rai and Henderson. Click here to get to the article.
