Sonu Niigaam tweeted back: "India loves you Britney @britneyspears. Welcome to Bollywood! Am loving the fact that it's OUR Collaboration that marks your first step here. God bless you and more power to Great Music!!! :) "
The video for 'I Wanna Go' which was recently released by Britney shows the singer battling paparazzi.
The Chris Marrs Piliero-directed clip shows Britney attacking photographers with her microphone, flashing a policeman and swearing at journalists during a press conference. Almost like the troubled singer has a score to settle with the press.
The Britney-Sonu collaboration comes just days after Hollywood star Tom Hanks said he would like to be part of a Bollywood film and is keen to share screen space with Amitabh and Abhishek Bachchan.
Pop star Lady Gaga is due to visit India in October this year. While that visit is reportedly a private one, the maverick singer has already made it clear that she has an eye on Bollywood. Gaga has released four mixes of "Judas" (with sounds of the sitar and tabla) and "Born This Way", remixed by American-Indian music company Desi Hits.
A month ago we saw photos of Beyonce wearing a Swarovski studded crown designed by Farah Khan Ali for her new album "4". Jewelry designer Farah Khan's Ali's designs were also seen on the red carpet at the Oscars earlier this year.
Bollywood has one of the world's largest audiences, making it a lucrative fan base to capture, so expect more big names to make a beeline for desi shores soon.
