The news of the Senegalese-American R&B star Akon recording a song for Anubhav Sinha’s Ra.One has been doing the rounds for the past two days. On Wednesday, the singer confirmed it in the presence of Shah Rukh Khan and Kareena Kapoor, the lead actors in the movie. Akon was greeted in traditional Indian style with Kapoor doing the tika and Khan showering petals on him. And it was only fitting that Akon sang his hit number Beautiful and dedicated it to the Kapoor girl.
Akon has also sung a few lines in Hindi. “I have heard a few Bollywood songs, some of which are really nice. In this number, I have tried to sing a few Hindi lines,” says Akon, who has also composed the song. And will he be part of the video that features Khan and Kapoor? “Of course. He will be coming down to India for a brief shoot that we will be doing with him,” says Khan. “And hopefully, Kareena will teach him some nice Bollywood moves.” .
