The girls are back home in the US and working on the promotional material for the soundtrack to their upcoming movie, Cheetah Girls: One World, airing in August 22 on Disney channel.

Rocking India

And here is the link to an interview with Access Hollywood’s Laura Saltman

Chanel (Adrienne Bailon), Dorinda (Sabrina Bryan) and Aqua (Kiely Williams), are getting ready for college and dance camp when aspiring Bollywood movie director, Vik Bhatia (Michael Steger), offers them roles in his movie, Namaste Bombay. The girls make the decision to go for it and journey to India.

Everything looks rosy until the movie’s producer, Vik’s uncle Kamal (Roshan Seth)  drops the bomb when he tells them that there is only one available role, not three as they had originally expected. This leaves the Cheetah Girls competing with each other for the lead while trying to prove to the Gita (Deepti Daryanani) the choreographer that they can dance.

What will happen to the collective dream of Cheetah Girls comes into question, as each of them begins to contemplate her own dreams and aspirations.

The movie also stars Kunal Sharma as Amar and Rupak Ginn as Rahim. The film is being directed by Paul Hoen.

The Cheetah Girls One World allows the girls to experience many cultural traditions, leaving them personally affected by India’s captivating essence. Be tuned in to Disney Channel India as well as Disney Channels around the world in October 2008 for the premiere of this music and dance adventure. You won’t want to miss it.

It seems during their eight weeks of shooting in India, between Mumbai and Udaipur, the Cheetah girls have noticed the many hoardings with King Khan on them. Kiely Williams remarks, “What’s his name — Shah Rukh Khan? — we see his face everywhere. We are trying to get him in the film!”

Filming has been challenging for the girls, but exciting also. The essence of India’s has captured them as they are now big fans of both the music and food, architecture, dance and color. Aqua (Williams), Chanel (Adrienne Bailon), and Dorinda (Sabrina Bryan) say they love everything about India, and have been immersing themselves in the culture.

One interesting and scary experience happened while in Bombay as their car ran into an auto-rickshaw. The girls may have freaked out, but the driver assured them that is wasn’t a problem.

Cheetah Girls: One World is directed by Paul Hoen. It stars acclaimed actor Roshan Seth and Deepti Daryanani (The Anatomy of Hope). There will be three or four large-scale dance numbers, including very colorful and huge piece shot at Udaipur’s Lake Palace. It will air on the Disney Channel in the United States in August and around the world in the fall.

Learning to dance Indian style has been an eye-opener for the girls as well. Used to dancing hip-hop, which is energetic, but more of a rough and tough style, the talented dancers have a new found respect for the more feminine and graceful Indian dance style.

Bryan comments, “We’ve really been able to take the Cheetahs to a new level. India is something a lot of our viewers have not experienced.”

So will SRK be joining these energetic Cheetah Girls? Only time will tell. Stay tuned to I Crave Bollywood for updates on this and all your other Bollywood news!
