While the fans of Kolkata Knight Riders are still basking in the glory of the team’s glorious win against Chennai Super Kings, owner Shah Rukh Khan is already preparing for the next IPL season.
According to reports, SRK wants the team to create an even bigger buzz next time round and for the starters, SRK wants the team anthem to undergo a change and sound more aggressive. And, to realise the same, the actor has reportedly approached R & B singer Akon to do the honours.
SRK, who worked with Akon for Chammak Challo, a hit single from his superhero flick, Ra.One, wants the singer to create yet another sensational track. Music composer Vishal Dadlani, who was behind the lyrics of the first anthem of KKR, talked to a daily about the same and said, “It will be a newer version of Korbo Lorbo Jeetbo Re. The anthem is all about
celebrations after a long wait of five years. It’s about victory which was finally witnessed.” Vishal added by saying that the track will be a “celebration and explosion of the fun-filled Bengali culture.” When quizzed about the role Akon has to play in the anthem, he said, “I am still not sure of any such development. I am in constant touch with Akon and so is SRK. Nothing has been finalised yet.”
Well, with SRK-Akon’s second association all set to be turned into a reality, here’s hoping Team KKR can boast of one hell of an anthem!
