Honey Singh offers bonanza for Akshay’s ‘Shaukeen’

Yo Yo Honey Singh flew back from his US tour for a special recording for the new Akshay Kumar movie Shaukeen.

Kumar, who has repeatedly collaborated with Honey Singh in the past, asked the rapper to perform a special number in the Abhishek Sharma-directed remake of Basu Chatterjee’s Shaukeen. In the new movie, Kumar is paired with Lisa Haydon.

The rapper insisted on doing three songs instead of one.

“Anything for a friend. And there are two stars in Bollywood for whom I’d do anything. Akshay and Shah Rukh bhai [Shah Rukh Khan] are like my brothers. When Akshay requested me to do one song, I told him, ‘why one, take three’. I feel my tuning with Akshay is such that he is able to put a face to what I sing as effectively as I do,” he said.

Honey Singh also flew across especially to be with his other favourite, Shah Rukh Khan, in Abu Dhabi last week for the IPL match and the after-party.

“I was in Dubai when Shah Rukh bhai invited me for the match and the after-party. It was fun unlimited,” he said.
