"I enjoy working with Akshay andhave always had great fun shooting with him. In 'Om Shanti Om' he was a riotand sporting enough to have consented to do a cameo. We were in splitsthroughout when he came back in his 'Khiladi Kumar' image. This was a year anda half back and when we shot again in 'Blue', it was quite nostalgic,"Farah told us.

"That's right, we hadn't interactedearlier but knew about each other's work. She had seen 'Om Shanti Om' and wasalso aware about my musical 'Bombay Dreams'. Once we started working togetherfor the 'Blue' song, we gelled well quite quickly. She is a dream to workwith," Farah said.

"It's always a great experience towork with Akshay since he is a fun-loving guy. Moreover, he is veryprofessional and very punctual. There were many factors that contributed to meagreeing to work on the song and Akshay being a part of it only helped,"Farah said about accepting 'Blue'.

Apart from Kylie and Akshay, themuch-awaited song also features Zayed Khan, Lara Dutta and Sanjay Dutt.Composed by Oscar-winning musician A.R. Rahman, the number has been sung byKylie and Sonu Nigam.

"The number is a mix of Western and Punjabi bhangra, hence turning outto be a great mix. Rahman has come up with a great tune again. To begin with,while Kylie sings her own portion in English, Sonu Nigam brings on a Punjabielement in the second half of the song," she explained.
