Abhay was nervous about singing:Shankar

Abhay was nervous about singing:Shankar
Getting three popular actors to sing in one song is no joke - but composer trio Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy (SEL) managed to convince Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar and Abhay Deol to do it for the catchy number "Senorita", and how!
Of the three actors, who feature together in Zoya Akhtar's "Zindagi Naa Milegi Dobara", Abhay had traces of nervousness, according to Shankar, who is gearing up to host a music workshop June 25, the last day of the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) weekend in Toronto, along with Ehsaan and Loy.

From billboards to Madhuri: MF Husain's love affair with cinema

NEW DELHI: Indian artist M.F. Husain's undying passion for art was also manifest in a long love affair with cinema. From painting billboards to designing movie invitations to making films, he had a colourful tryst with Bollywood.

Husain, who died in London Thursday, came to Mumbai in 1935 in search of a career in art and ended up painting movie posters to earn livelihood. That was his first brush with cinema and the fascination was to last 75 years.
