“We have the same kind of entertainment,the only difference is of tradition and language,” he said.

Akon arrived in Mumbai yesterday to record a song with composers Vishal-Shekhar in Anubhav Sinha’s ‘Ra.One’,also starring Kareena Kapoor.

Meanwhile,Shah Rukh said,”He (Akon) is a gracious person. He will record a song in Hindi and will also feature in the video. He has flown with his family,friends and team of musicians. He is workaholic. He loves India and this is not a business deal.”

To a query,Shah Rukh said his team Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) was yet to develop a theme song for this year’s IPL. “We have not yet developed a song for KKR. Even if I did I would have requested Akon to sing it,” he added.
