Akon arrived in Mumbai yesterday to record a song with composers Vishal-Shekhar in Anubhav Sinha's 'Ra.One', also starring Kareena Kapoor.

Meanwhile, Shah Rukh said, "He (Akon) is a gracious person. He will record a song in Hindi and will also feature in the video. He has flown with his family, friends and team of musicians. He is workaholic. He loves India and this is not a business deal."
