His latest brainwave is to get the much sought-after Honey Singh to compose a very special item song. A move that has apparently not gone down well with composers Vishal-Shekhar who have composed the rest of the songs in this eagerly-awaited film.
Says a source close to Honey Singh, `He was very pleasantly surprised to get a call from Shah Rukh about a very special song. `
Honey Singh is surprised to know that that one knows about his special song in Chennai Express.
Says the ebullient rock star, `I was very very surprised and happy to hear from Shah Rukh Bhai. He said he wanted me to do a particular song for Chennai Express and told me to do what I could. I wrote and composed the song while I was in Mauritius. Both Shah Rukh Bhai and I are huge Rajnikanth fans. This number is our tribute to Rajnikanth. `
About Vishal-Shekhar's disapproval of the his presence in the Chennai Express soundtrack Honey Singh shrugs, `What can I do? If Shah Rukh Bhai asked me to do a song I couldn't refuse. I am just doing my job to the best of my abilities. I can tell you this much. When the song comes out it will be a craze among not just Shah Rukh and my fans, but also among Rajni Sir's fans. "
