Anil Kapoor is trying his best to get Latin American performer Shakira to shoot a dance track for Anees Bazmee's No Problem. If he succeeds in his efforts, this will be her first appearance in a B-Town flick.

Says a source close to Anil, "It's not an item number. The film's composer, Pritam has composed a song set to the lyrics of Shakira's Hips Don't Lie. Anil thought it would be great to have the pop singer gyrating to her own song. He is very keen to have Shakira on board and has spoken to Andre in Wizcraft to speak to her."

The source adds that if Shakira agrees the entire star cast -- Anil, Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, Sunil Shetty, Sushmita Sen, Kangna Ranaut, Neetu Chandra and Paresh Rawal will also perform with the Latin-American singer.

Hips Don't Lie is a remake of Haitian rapper Wyclef Jean's 2004 song Dance Like This. Shakira wrote some parts of the new version, and co-produced Hips Don't Lie became a global success, topping charts in at least 55 countries. It became Shakira and Wyclef's first (and to date, only) number-one single in the U.S.

The promos of No Problem and Toonpur Ka Super Hero come with Anjaana Anjaani, which releases today. Says a source close to Anil, "It isn't true that Kunal Kohli's Break Ke Baad promo is releasing with AA. No Problem and Toonpur was always supposed to come out with AA. While Toonpur Ka Superhero is a live action animation film directed by Kireet Khurana, produced by Kumar Mangat and Krishika Lulla, and starring Ajay Devgn and Kajol. No Problem is a comic family entertainer."
