The film is being directed by Prem Raj (who had earlier directed MAMK). Khan has agreed to do a song and a scene in the film.

Says a source, "Though Salman has an extremely busy schedule shooting for Dabangg 2, brand endorsements and show commitments, he always makes time for friends. After Preity returned from shooting her film in Paris last week, she went to meet Salman.

She was keen that he be a part of her first film and was pleasantly surprised when the actor agreed." The source adds that the economics behind the deal was never an issue.

"He is doing it as an emotional gesture. Prem is also grateful to Salman, firstly because he gave him a break as a director, and is now doing a cameo in his second film.

Prem and Preity plan to ensure that the song becomes THE song of the year. Khan's scene and song will be shot in April at a grand set in one of the local studios.

" Preity confirms, "Salman has agreed to be a part of Ishkq In Paris, but to know what he will be doing, you have to watch the film. His role has been woven into the script very nicely.

We are very excited to have Salman on board. He's always supported me and I love him with all my heart !" (less)
