Adnan Sami's new album Press Play which was released ahead of schedule to beat piracy has become an instant seller. The album had been illegally downloaded a few weeks ago and the release therefore had to be preponed. We now hear that each of the songs is expected to get a renewed shelf-life through music videos. Each of the tracks in the album will feature one Bollywood diva dancing with Adnan in the music videos.

The names on the list include Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra, Sonakshi Sinha, Sonam Kapoor and Asin. Talks are on with several marquee queens for what promises to be Adnan's personal multi-starrer.

Says a source very close to the project, `Years ago when Adnan did the album Tera Chehra he got Rani Mukherjee, Amisha Patel and many other screen queens of that phase to do music videos.

Now when Adnan's new album which is his most personal and autobiographical album to date, has received such a warm reception Adnan and his music company Universal have decided to carry the 11 tracks of Press Play forward with topnotch music videos directed by the biggest names in the business. `

While the Bollywood divas are being pressed into action for romantic tracks like Kudi tight, Main tere paas hoon and Karun na yaad for the song dedicated to his wife Roya, Adnan plans to convince his wife to make an appearance in its music video.


And here's the piece de resistance. For the song Baba dedicated to his deceased dad Adnan intends to invite the Big B.

Years ago Mr Bachchan has featured in Adnan's song Lift karade. While the earlier song was fun all the way this time it would be a far more meditative and somber coming together of the two artistes.

When questioned about his lofty plans for the music videos to support his new album Adnan said, `I do have plans, major plans. The response to the album has taken all of us by surprise. We never expected it would conquer the premature internet exposure so gloriously. Now I plan to take the songs forward and would be roping in my friends from the film fraternity. `
