The
original
Disco-King
of
Bollywood,
bappi
lahiri,
is
all
set
to
star
in
a
feature
film
aptly
called
Rocking
Dard-e-Disco.
This
would
be
the
first
time
that
Bappi
Da
would
be
seen
in
a
full-fledged
role
after
having
done
small
roles
in
some
films.
bappi
lahiri
said,
"Yes,
I
am
doing
the
film
called
Rocking
Dard-e-Disco.
It's
a
very
exciting
subject
and
I
am
playing
the
role
of
a
Disco-King.
The
film
is
directed
by
Ashok
Tyagi.
Unlike
many
other
singers
and
music
directors
who
are
appearing
in
films
these
days,
I
have
done
small
roles
in
the
past
with
actors
like
Sridevi
and
Kunal
Goswami
in
Kalakaar,
almost
25
years
ago,
then
in
Bomb
Blast
etc.
Moreover,
today
I
have
a
set
image
as
a
Disco-King
and
hence
I
felt
that
I
would
suit
the
character.
The
story
is
really
exciting
and
full
of
energy
which
would
be
liked
by
today's
young
generation"
We
also
quizzed
him
on
who
would
be
co-starring
with
him?
"Its
not
yet
finalized
but
it
could
be
an
American
actress" said
the
veteran
composer
So,
would
he
also
be
composing
the
music?
"Yes
I
am
singing,
composing
the
music
and
acting
in
the
film.
The
music
is
very
young
and
a
mix
of
disco,
hip-hop
and
it
truly
reflects
my
style
of
music"
Is
there
any
nervousness
before
facing
the
camera?
"Not
really
because
I
am
very
excited
about
the
script
of
the
film.
It's
a
very
good
subject.
Moreover,
I
have
been
seen
on
T.V.
for
the
last
two
years
in
shows
like
Sa
Re
Ga
Ma
Pa,
Little
Champs
and
even
K
For
Kishore.
In
fact,
recently
I
even
did
a
brief
role
in
Om
Shanti
Om
and
the
movie
went
on
to
become
a
super-hit
(laughs).
So
I
am
pretty
confident
and
looking
forward
to
the
love
and
support
of
all
my
fans" said
an
excited
Bappi
Da.
Last
but
not
the
least,
after
the
brief
OSO
experience,
how
has
it
been
working
with
King
Khan
for
his
IPL
team
song?
"It
has
been
wonderful.
I
am
doing
three
songs
for
his
team
Kolkata
Knight
Riders
which
would
be
sung
by
me,
Usha
Uthup
and
a
Bengali
band-
Bhoomi.
Shahrukh
Khan
is
a
wonderful
person
who
knows
a
lot
about
music.
I
love
him
as
a
person.
He
knows
how
to
respect
elders
and
hence
has
reached
the
undisputed
position
of
Baadshah
of
Bollywood
today.
My
best
wishes
that
he
keeps
getting
more
and
more
success"
So,
would
he
get
the
Baadshah
of
Bollywood
also
to
croon
some
lines,
"That's
a
surprise...dekhte
hain"
he
says
and
signs
off
with
a
smile.
