Jermaine Jackson to play with Adnan Sami

Brother of Late King of Pop, Jermaine Jackson is in the city for past couple of days. He came down to Mumbai for a music album which is bannered under T-Series. The album will also feature Adnan Sami and both the singers will be seen in a music video titled ‘Let’s Go to Mumbai City’. The video will be directed by Divya Khosla Kumar, wife of T-Series’ Bhushan Kumar and choreographer by Remo.

The video will show Mumbai’s important landmarks namely Gateway of India, CST, Haji Ali. While Adnan will be donning a Kurta, Jermaine be wearing a khadi jacket. Talking about the song, the beautiful director said, “In the video, I’ll show both of them come here and mingle with the people. It won’t be easy to show all the important places in the city in a four-minute song, so we’ve only got a few options.” However, the song won’t be a total tribute to MJ. Divya clarified, “There is no scope in the song for the video to be a full-fledged tribute to MJ. But if you look hard enough, you’ll see that we’re definitely referencing him, whether it’s in a costume or a dance move.”

Divya revealed that Jermaine wanted drums in the song the way MJ had used in ‘They Don’t Care About Us’. So instead they will be using a few dhols to give it a desi flavour. The video will also be promoted overseas. For, the director said, “I want people to know about Mumbai. I’ll have Jermaine dancing techno a la MJ with slum kids who remain his big fans.” Sources have it that Jermaine Jackson will be in the city till 12th. Meanwhile it is said that the international singer had visited Shilpa Shetty, his former Celebrity Big Brother housemate, at her residence. The singer is with his wife Halima Rashid.
