Highlights
- Akon has earlier sung 'Chammak Challo' in Ra.One
- This would be his second song for Anubhav Sinha
- Tum Bin 2 already features one track by singer-cricketer Dwayne Bravo
Popular American singer-rapper Akon is likely to collaborate with Anubhav Sinha for the second time with the Bollywood filmmaker's upcoming film
Tum Bin 2.
If sources are to be believed, Anubhav is keen on bringing back Akon to India.
He had roped in the
Lonely hit-maker for Shah Rukh Khan's
Ra.One for the song "
Chammak Challo". And if all goes well, the artiste may sing for
Tum Bin 2.
According to a source, the track in question titled "
Tumhare Siva Kuch Na" will be a recreation of the song with the same title from "
Tum Bin," and will be used as the end credits song in
Tum Bin 2.
The romantic song will also feature Pakistani singer Atif Aslam and the video will be shot in India at a vintage property in October.
Akon was shortlisted from a list that included international names like Taio Cruz, Usher and Robin Thicke because of his wide audience base in India, his love for Bollywood and his familiarity with Anubhav.
Said Anubhav, in a statement: "It's too early to divulge any details as we are in the primitive stages of discussion. However, it is true that we are looking at roping in a top grossing international artiste to feature and collaborate on this song but we have not yet finalised on anyone as of yet."
"We have already roped in West Indies cricketer Dwayne Bravo to feature in one of the songs called '
Jaegerbomb' with Ankit Tiwari."
Shot in Scotland,
Tum Bin 2 is all set to hit the screens on November 18.
Neha Sharma and newcomers Aditya Seal and Aashim Gulati will
feature in the film, which is written, directed and jointly produced by Anubhav with Bhushan Kumar.
