 Viju Shah, who had just one release each in the last three years, ASAMBHAV [2004], SHIKHAR [2005] and YUN HOTA TO KYA HOTA [2006] would be starting the year 2007 with SHAKALAKA BOOM BOOM. Though the film has music by Himesh Reshammiya, Viju has been roped to create the background score of the film. To suit the chic-n-peppy mood of the film, Viju comes across as just the right choice for the background score if one considers the kind of techno music he has been giving over the years for films that include MOHRA, VISHWATMA, GUPT, AAR YA PAAR, YALGAAR and many more. Produced and directed by Suneel Darshan, SLBB is arriving all over on April 06.

While Anurag Basu's 'Metro' narrates the tale of number of urban individuals trying to cope up with life in a metro [in this case Mumbai], Suneel Darshan's 'Shakalaka Boom Boom' is a far cry from his rooted Indian films that he is famous for and instead takes you to foreign shares to narrate a tale of professional rivalry [set in music industry].

The musical, a desi version of Amadeus, also stars Bobby Deol, Celina Jaitly and Kangana Ranaut. One of Darshan’s ideas is to shoot a special title track focusing on his blue-eyed boy. “To be shot extensively in New York over four days, this song will see Upen perform a song choreographed by South African choreographer Tyrone Watkins. The song will also feature about a hundred girls,” informed our source.
