Rumour has it that socialite Aarti Surendranath (of Kailash Picture Company) brought him to the sets of Abbas-Mustan's 'Race' at Yash Raj Studios, where the cast (including Reddy, Saif Ali Khan, Akshaye Khanna, Bipasha Basu and Katrina Kaif) was shooting a video for the title song.

Says a source, "Jean-Paul was in Mumbai for a week and was fascinated by Bollywood. When he heard that 'Race' was being shot, he insisted on meeting up with the stars. Aarti Surendranath brought him to the sets and he spent a good two hours chatting with the cast. Later, Jean-Paul was so keen to watch the item number being shot, that he told the directors not to call for a break."

The actresses also added their own value. Adds the source, "Bipasha and Katrina took Gaultier on a guided tour of the studio. He seemed fascinated by their styling, courtesy Vogue's new fashion director, Anahita Shroff. He felt the three girls looked like international models."

Producer Ramesh Taurani, the head honcho of Tips is obviously delighted with this development. Says he, "Jean-Paul was very excited. He stood for two hours seeing the song being shot and even danced like a little child when the music was on. It was a great privilege to show an esteemed person like him around my set. Jean-Paul was fascinated about everything happening around him."
