A musical sequel to the successful film “The Cheetah Girls”, it will be shot completely in an Indian setting in Udaipur and continues the story of best friends Chanel, Aqua and Dorinda as they embark on their biggest adventure yet – a role in a Bollywood movie.

The sequel will have music, dance and a good dose of Indian culture. It celebrates friendship, cultural diversity and encourages tweens to pursue their goals and dreams.

Based on the book series for kids and tweens by award-winning journalist-turned-author Deborah Gregory (Jump at the Sun/ Hyperion Books for Children), the movie stars Sabrina Bryan ( of “The Bold and the Beautiful” fame) as Dorinda Thomas; and platinum-selling recording artists Adrienne Bailon and Kiely Williams of the R&B/ pop music group 3LW, as Chanel and Aqua, respectively.

The movie also stars Roshan Seth as Uncle Kamal, Kunal Sharma as Amar, Rupak Ginn as Rahim, Michael Steger as Vikram ‘Vik’ Bhatia and Deepti Daryanani as Gita. Paul Hoen is the director. The production also includes several local dancers.

The feel-good story of “The Cheetah Girls One World” begins when Galleria heads off to Cambridge and her ‘Cheetahlicious’ friends, Chanel, Dorinda and Aqua, are readying for college prep courses. Soon, the trio takes a break and makes a trip to Mumbai, where an aspiring director Vikram Bhatia offers them roles in his movie, “Namaste Bombay”.

This music and dance adventure will premiere in October 2008 on Disney Channel India.
