We were a few minutes after midnight when we got to hear the voice of Priyanka Chopra at the other end of the line. The actress has been shooting non-stop for the biopic about Mary Kom and day (or night) when we talked to her it was no different either.
"It's been a long day," he says, "It started at 7 in the morning and still not finished. "But immediately encouraged when I remember his song Exotic is in iTunes first in India. "All this has happened in two or three days and that's great!" Says the on second single, she has sung with Pitbull. The video has come out recently. "It's all for the love and support of my fans. Any of them that love me too or you really like my music, "he laughs. An excerpt from the interview:
So what is the exotic of this song?
most beautiful of this song for me is that it's a fun song. It's a song that you can enjoy. I did not want to do too cerebral, you do not have to think too much. That's what the atmosphere of the song is. Pitbull And it was the perfect person.
His first song has no lyrics Hindi, but this does.
's first song hindi letter may have had but Indie instruments. This is an international album and has a global audience. But I wanted to break the stereotypical view you have from movies and Indian music. I want to show conventional commercial music has Desi Vibes in it. RedOne (the producer) is from Morocco, Pit (Pitbull) is from Cuba and I am from Mumbai and the song is a great mix of different cultures. That's what world music is about today.
When it comes to collaboration, which is on your wish list?
Each partnership should be with someone who makes sense for that song. I do not know if that kind of music, but I love to collaborate with U2. And I think it would be great to have a strong track next to Beyonce.
Tell us about the video.
had two days to shoot, so we had to do it very fast. It was recorded in Miami and styling was done by a girl named Giselle. There were plenty of interesting elements presented in the video. For me, exotic beaches, it's fun, it's sexy and that's what the song is about. It is an exotic summer song and try to be faithful to it.
Do you think being a popular star of Bollywood has worked in your favor?
Yeah, it's one of the biggest advantages that I have to have an incredible fan base is very supportive of what I do. I really hope this opportunity I have been very fortunate to get, paving the way for Indian musicians and artists to come out and make a name for themselves. I hope I've done the raid open many more musicians who are much more talented than me.

It was a big risk to venture into singing. Have you always been a risk taker?
All my films have risks. Every time I made a movie, I was told it would not work. When I Aitraaz, I was told that people are not going to accept me as a heroine she played a vampire. When did Fashion, people said no one would see, as it is a heroine oriented film. In Barfi!, I've played a character completely outdated. I go with my gut. What will happen? I'll fail, but I will try again.
