Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who is going to host STAR Plus'
popular quiz show "Kaun Banega Crorepati" (KBC), is also
featuring in a music video exclusively made for the show - his first
such venture.
For the video, he has joined hands with singer-choreographer Ganesh
Hegde who is presenting him in a completely new avatar. The two had
earlier worked together for "Don".
The three-minute video is titled "Kar le kar le tu aek sawal".
"Shah Rukh has got a completely new, young look in the film.
He will be seen donning a hip-hop look and the clothes are also designed
to suit the mood of the video. The song is a fusion of hip-hop and
Indian music," Hegde told IANS.
"We have put four huge, lavish and expensive sets in Mumbai.
Even now I am shooting for it. We started shooting on Jan 10 and will
wrap it up by tomorrow. After that we will do the post-production
work," he added.
As far as Shah Rukh's clothes are concerned, Hegde said: "I
shared my thoughts with (filmmaker) Karan Johar. He has done the styling
accordingly."
The music video will be unveiled Jan 22 just before the quiz show
goes on the air. STAR Plus is, however, going to 10-15-second-long
show teasers of the music video before it actually premieres.
"It was SRK's idea to come up with a music video for KBC. He
then shared the idea with his team," said a STAR Plus source.
The music video is conceptualised, choreographed, directed and sung
by Hegde. Music is by Vishal-Shekhar while Shabbir, R.D. Telang, Kumar
and Asif Baig have penned the lyrics.
