Not many are aware that Shah Rukh Khan is behind choreographer Ganesh Hegde's debut album "G". Besides managing the mystery campaign of "G", which generated a lot of curiosity, SRK also roped in T-series for the music rights of the album.

"Shah Rukh has been closely monitoring the countdown to the release of my singing debut. He was keen that the album remains a closely guarded secret right up to its release date," confirms Hegde.

The pre-release hype about the album notwithstanding, this is not Hegde's first attempt at singing. He has done back-up singing for several artistes, including Shah Rukh and Hrithik Roshan, during their stage shows abroad.

"It was at one such concert of Asha Bhosle in London that I performed to Kishore Kumar's 'Paanch rupaiya baara aana'. She was absolutely thrilled and asked me to consider singing as a second option," he recalls.

"G" is a compilation of eight songs sung by Ganesh Hegde, two of which are duets, one with Asha Bhosle and the other with Sonu Kakkar and Kailash Kher.
