Snoop Dogg has joined forces with Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar to create a soundtrack for the imminent blockbuster release Singh Is Kinng.

Snoop, real name Calvin Broadus Jr, has just completed shooting the video in Chicago that had a whopping 20 million Rupees budget, that's nearly half a million dollars!

The video sees Snoop don traditional hindi costume to play Singh in an apparent attempt at wooing the Indian sub-continent.

“Snoop wants to do a Hindi movie with Akshay,” said an insider, “as he is really keen on wooing the Indian audiences. The most interesting aspect of the song is that one gets to see two very different styles - Hip Hop with Snoop and Bhangra with Akshay. Their chemistry was worth seeing as they're superstars from two different worlds. To say the least, the video is looking brilliant!”

The movie Singh Is Kinng is slated for a August 8th release.
