Akon has arrived in Mumbai today to record a song for composers Vishal- Shekhar in Anubhav Sinha's Ra.One. The controversial singer's arrival was being kept under wraps and was expected to be whisked away from the airport straight for the recording.
Akon will be recording on 9 and 10 March, 2010 before he quietly slips out of India. But hang on. He's expected to return to India in April (2010) for live concerts with Aadesh Shrivastav.
Confirming Akon's recording in Mumbai, Ra.One director Anubhav Sinha says, "Akon will be here for the recording on the dates you've mentioned." However, Anubhav very strongly contradicts conflicting reports in the press stating that Akon would also be acting in Ra.One. Says Anubhav, "Akon is only singing for our film. He is not acting in Ra.One."
While Shah Rukh will lip-sync Akon's lines, the song, in Hindi and English, will also feature a female voice, since Kareena Kapoor will be dancing with SRK in the song. The female voice has not been decided as yet. But Kareena Kapoor giving playback for herself is not ruled out.
Music composer Aadesh Shrivastava, who's in constant touch with the American super-rapper has been informed of Akon's very hush-hush arrival to an undisclosed part of the country for a two-day visit.
Says Aadesh, "Akon is coming to India this month. He'll be here a couple of days. Akon then returns to India in April, this time for concerts with me. We're at the moment working out the details and venues."
Get ready for an Akon blitzkrieg in Mumbai this month onwards.
