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, who has been flown down to India on Khan’s request was all praise, for the actor. “I have followed Shah Rukh’s work very closely and I love the way he entertains the audience,” says Akon. Khan in turn said he was touched by Akon’s gesture to sing for his film. “I first met him in New York. When I asked him if he would sing for our film, he immediately obliged. There is no business deal here. Unlike me, Akon has been very gracious to do this. I charge for everything,” quipped Khan, who plays the superhero G1 in the film.The views, opinions and comments posted are your, and are not endorsed by this website.
