Rapper Snoop Dogg is embracing the Bollywood industry - by making a music video with Indian superstar Akshay Kumar.

The Drop It Like It's Hot hitmaker is joining forces with Kumar to make the promo, which will be used as the main title to upcoming film Singh is Kinng.

Kumar, who has more than 80 South Asian film credits to his name, is best known for the Khiladi movie series - in which he plays an Indian version of superspy James Bond.

The duo will meet in Chicago, Illinois next month to begin work on the project, according to New York Post gossip column PageSix.
