Bollywood bonds with James
The music for Mahesh Bhatt's Gangster, which will have James' song, will be scored by Pritam. James will be singing a Hindi version of Goutam Chattopadhyay's Prithibi. In a recent interview James said, "It is an honour for me to have been chosen to do Goutamda's song in the film. There are two songs that I've been asked to do and I am just excited about the entire project. However, we are facing visa problems. We have a meeting scheduled with embassy officials where we will take the matter up."
"As artistes, our vision is 'one world'. Artistes should not be denied visa," added James.

Meanwhile, James has also been approached by Yahaan director Shoojit Sircar for his forthcoming film Amarjeet.
Elaborating on this issue, Sircar said, "Shantanu (Moitra) will compose James' song and I will begin shooting in December. In fact, I was the one to forward James' number to Pritam when they were contemplating about using it."
