It was great working with SRK: Akon

The Senalese-American pop star, who will be performing at Gurgaon's Huda Grounds on Saturday — also his 38th birthday — can't stop singing praises for actor Shah Rukh Khan for letting him sing a track in Ra.One.

Ask him if that means Indian films are on the cards, and he says, "One day, if the opportunity presents itself, I'd welcome the chance to star in a Bollywood film!"
