We have already seen Nicole Kidman jiving to Indian song Chhamma Chhamma in ‘Moulin Rouge’. Now, American independent filmmaker Spike Lee’s first Hollywood project features Chhaiyan Chhaiyan.

Composed by A R Rahman and written by Gulzar for Mani Ratnam’s movie Dil Se, Chhaiyan Chhaiyan had Shah Rukh Khan dancing atop a moving train with Malaika Arora .
The song is basically inspired from a traditional Sufi qawwali called Tere Ishq Ne Nachaya, Thaiyya Thaiyya by the Sufi mystic, Baba Bulleh Shah. Rahman himself is a big fan of Sufi music.

Reports have it that Chhaiyan Chhaiyan appears in Spike Lee’s latest movie ‘Inside Man’. The song appears in the background at the movie’s beginning and its end.
‘Inside Man’ is a heist thriller starring Jodie Foster, Denzel Washington and Clive Owen. According to reports, after seeing the movie at a recent preview, American audience seemed to have taken a fancy to the song.
