R&B superstar Akon is in town and B-town is all abuzz! The massive hit maker has spent some time in India to perform at Shahrukh Khan’s IPL kick-off party and to record a song for the King of Bollywood’s next movie "Ra.

One" co-starring the ever so beautiful Kareena Kapoor. Shahrukh, Bebo and "Ra.One" director Anubhav Sinha held a press conference with Akon on Tuesday at Mumbai’s Sahara Star hotel.

And SRK had a hard time hiding his excitement to hang out with Akon! The two even sang a snippet of the R&B star’s hit "Smack That!"  After calming down a little but, SRK told reporters: ""Ra.One" is a superhero film. There is a good guy, there is a bad guy, there is a beautiful girl, there is a wonderful singer and a fantastic director."

"It’s a kind of film, a genre we guys haven’t tried at 'Red Chilies.' On behalf of the whole team, I would like to try and I hope we succeed. It’s a new thing for all of us, so we are giving it our best shot," he added. Check out Shahrukh and Akon sing "Smack That" together in Mumbai above and share your thoughts!
