They are people from two different fronts. Yet what connects them is cinema and art. It is this artistic streak that brought Slumdog Millionaire star Anil Kapoor to meet and congratulate musical genius Bappi Lahiri on his coming out with his dream project album, Slumstars at Juhu.

"Bappi da is all-heart and his energy and contagious enthusiasm is amazing. He is still the same as he was years ago, said an enthusiastic Anil Kapoor. The actor and Bappi da`s association goes back a long way, the duo has worked together in over 12 films including Vishwas, Mr.Azad, Andaz, Zindagi Ek Juaa, Pratikar, Ghar Ho Toh Aisa, Kishen Kanhaiya, Sone Pe Suhaaga, Kasam, Insaaf Ki Awaaz,Mohabbat, Saaheb and the song Yaar Bina Chain Kahaan Re from Saaheb is still an evergreen hit.

Adds Bappi da, "Slumstars, dedicated to the slum children of Mumbai, is simply my tribute to the energy and effervescence of the young uns of Mumbai, an ode to the feisty spirit of the metrop. I am so glad Anil Kapoor loves the song." The music label is Venus Records.
