Around Halloween, Bollywood launched their newest megafilm, Fashion, to incredible success but mixed reviews -

And it looks like they didn’t get enough.

Vogue UK reports that Naomi Campbell is set to appear in an animated Bollywood film, Jumbo, and even recorded a duet with Indian action movie star, Akshay Kumar, in Hindi.

No word on whether this is a serious attempt at yet another career for Naomi, but we’re secretly hoping she brings a cast of supermodels for back-up dancers on set.

Even Bollywood’s been hit by hard economic times.

India’s answer to Hollywood, (though so much bigger), has been suffering at the hands of less willing theatregoers. But, like Shirley Temple and the Great Depression, it looks like India’s movie-lovers just needed the right reason to get back in their red velvet seats.

Madhur Bhandarkar’s blockbuster film, Fashion, is about a small town girl who moves to a big city to become a supermodel. The model, played by Priyanka Chopra, makes her way through managers, publicists, designers, stars and agents until she finally takes to a runway.

Though the movie claims to be a work of fiction, it’s being heralded as a realistic portrait of the industry. From the things a girl must do to make it to the top, to the shady practice of label switching among Indian designers, it’s being regarded as a more digestible version of many truths.

The film opens stateside today and movies are the perfect cure to a Halloween hangover.

“Movies are next to religion in India,” said Suneet Varma yesterday.

The go-to designer for every Bollywood actress has outfitted India’s most glam for decades, dressing socialites and stars for every major wedding in India (and even one in Versailles,) and styling everyone from Aishwarya Rai on the cover of Vogue India (out next month,) to Cindy Crawford for Omega.

Now Varma gears up for another high-spangled event:

The Bollywood Music and Fashion Awards, which happen on Saturday. Held in Atlantic City, the festival celebrates the jewel-toned explosion of music, movies, and incredibly gorgeous girls that define the sparkly film genre - and the Indian designer is one of its defining aesthetes.

Tips, the Blockbuster-y Bollywood production house, has just signed Suneet as the exclusive costume designer of three developing films to be released next year, the first of which will feature mega-star Bipasha Basu.

And Suneet may soon become a household name in America, since he’s currently in talks to dress some Hollywood actresses for the Oscars (the rumor goes: blonde, thin, amazingly funny).

Is this the year that Carolina Herrera and Valentino get overthrown on the red carpet by a little bit of Bombay?
