Akon’s first Hindi song

Singing is a part of art, and Indians understand music a lot, as there is a wide range of music in this land itself," says Akon. We caught up with Akon to talk to him about Bollywood, India, his first Indian song and much more.

Indian fans
I was surprised to know how many fans I have here in India, especially in North and South India. They love me so much! So, I decided to tour in Bangalore, Delhi and Gurgaon. I will be playing hit chart numbers, as per audience demand. I wish I could perform all over the country, but because of time issues, i can't. The next time I perform in India, it will be in the rest of the cities, for sure.

Bollywood
Firstly, thanks to Shah Rukh Khan, who introduced me to Bollywood. I am very happy to be a part of it now. It's an amazing industry, with a great audience. In India, you have a large audience. Some day, I would love to act in Bollywood movies too, though I am not sure of the kind of movie to be in.

Chummuk Chullo
For my fans in India and all over the world who understand Hindi, I have sung a song in my new album called Stadium. The song is called Chummuk Chullo. It was very challenging to sing the song, especially the pronunciation, but it turned out well.

Favourite Indian singers
I like Sonu Nigam and Sunidhi Chauhan a lot. They are really big talents over here. India has a wide range of artists. I have collaborated with Adesh Shrivastava too, and it was a great experience.

Inspiration
I usually get inspired when I am travelling. I have recorded so many songs while I am travelling. In my next album, Stadium, you will heard a lot of travel songs. I am sure Indian tourists will connect with my songs.
