Senegalese-American singer Akon is in India and he says working in a Bollywood film is his ultimate goal.
“I'm waiting to get into Bollywood movies. That's ultimately my goal. I want to do it successfully. I'm not quite sure what character, but I definitely want to do it,” the singer told the reporters on Friday, which incidentally is also his birthday.
Akon is set to perform in concerts at Gurgaon and Bangalore. But he’s already made his foray into Bollywood by singing a song for Shahrukh Khan’s upcoming superhero film Ra.One.
“Working with Shahrukh was an amazing experience. He opened me up to Bollywood. He made me see a whole new light and the possibilities. I enjoyed it so much that I'm trying to sneak in now,” Akon said while revealing his Bollywood plans.
Clearly overwhelmed by the love and adulation he has got in India, Akon said the country is like second home to him.
“I love India and I keep looking for ways to come here. You guys show more than loyalty towards my art and my career. I don't have words to express my feelings...I hope I get many more opportunities to come here and share my talent with you. I feel like a family here. This is like a second home to me,” Akon said.
On his birthday today, Akon will perform live at a private concert in Pune
