SRK to do Bharathnatyan in Ra.One

SRK shakes a leg, southern style 

The Bollywood Badshah will take on the classical south Indian dance form in his next film 

Richa Bhatia 

When Shah Rukh Khan went to Bangalore to watch his IPL team take on Team Bangalore recently, he proved he could wield the bat during a friendly 10-over-a-team match. And now, he has also proven that he is a versatile dancer when he shook a leg, Bharatanatyam style, for his forthcoming RA.One. SRK will be seen performing Bharatanatyam steps in the song Chamak Challo... alongside Kareena Kapoor, who will sizzle onscreen in a saree. “SRK will be a wearing a formal three-piece suit. In the song, he comes across a 

group of dancers who perform Bharatanatyam. Since he is a superhero, he can do anything. So he tries to get the steps right. He has actually danced with a lot of panache,” says Ganesh Hegde, who did the choreography for SRK for this song. 

According to Ganesh, this was the most challenging shoot for Shah Rukh. “Everybody tries to play safe with SRK by giving him simple steps, but I have tried doing new stuff,” says Ganesh. The song, Chamak Challo..., has been sung by international singer Akon in Hindi.
