Kylie Minogue's new Bollywood film Blue is in danger of flopping

KYLIE MINOGUE’S eagerly anticipated $1m Bollywood debut looks in danger of being a massive flop.
theBuzz hears the pop princess’s Midas touch has failed to help big-budget flick Blue attract the interest of major film distributors.
Which could mean Kylie fans won’t get the chance to see their favourite Aussie in action, alongside industry stars such as Akshay Kumar, Lara Dutta, Sanjay Dutt and Zayed Khan.
We’re told: “The film is so far over budget it is not feasible for a big distributor to buy the film outright.
“This will mean real trouble for the producers and getting the film into the cinemas they want around the world.”
To make matters worse, Kylie’s big number in the film has also been panned, despite being composed by Slumdog Millionaire Oscar winner A.R. Rahman.
“To start off with, the song has a ridiculous title – Chiggy Wiggy,” said one insider.
“It’s an absolute stinker. AR Rahman has composed some amazing songs in Bollywood during his career, but this certainly isn’t one of them.
“From the ridiculous lyrics to the lacklustre melodies, this song is rubbish on so many levels.”
Ouch.
But we’re sure Kylie, 41, will still be smiling – she was paid $1m (£605,000) to appear in the movie, after all.
At the time the news broke, she described her involvement in the film, an underwater adventure about treasure hunters, as “a dream come true”.
