Shah Rukh Khan keen on getting Lady Gaga for Ra.One

Shah Rukh Khan is keen on getting Lady Gaga for his sci-fi fantasy film Ra.One. So much that he's asked Akon to convince Gaga to do a music video for the film.

Recently, the international pop singer hinted to a US based news channel that she has some special plans for India. When asked what they were, she replied, "can't disclose, but it's a collaboration with some local people."

There has always been speculation that SRK would rope in an international singer for a music video for Ra.One.

Lady Gaga's name started doing the rounds because of her proximity to Akon who worked with Shah Rukh for a song in the film.

Not many know that Gaga was actually Akon's discovery and got her signed on his music label Interscope.

A source reveals, "Lady Gaga is the biggest international act in the world right now. If she agrees to do Ra.One it would be a huge asset for the film.

Akon has already bounced the idea to Gaga's management and her team. While she's touring right now, there's a possibility that Shah Rukh might have a meeting with her in coming weeks."

The source adds that while Gaga is what Shah Rukh wants, his team is also considering Shakira as an option if things don't work out with the Bad Romance singer.

"Shakira has toured India and has met SRK in the past. She's also familiar with Bollywood and aware of the current trends in music.

While Anubhav Sinha and Khan are trying hard to get Akon to convince Gaga, they are also sending Shakira feelers for the same."
