One
is
an
international
star,
the
other,
an
Indian
phenomenon.
Sparks
flew
when
the
two
met.
When
Siddharth
Kannan
said,
"Hello",
Akon
immediately
guessed
that
he
is
a
popular
radio
jockey.
"Hey,
are
you
a
radio
jockey?" Akon
asked
Kannan.
"Now
tell
me
this
-
when
you
play
my
songs,
why
do
you
only
play
Beautiful
and
Right
Now?
Why
the
hell
do
you
not
play
my
beautiful
number,
I'm
So
Paid?"
Akon
then
showed
his
fist
and
said,
"I'll
knock
you
down
if
you
do
not
play
that
number
and
make
it
popular
within
24
hours!"
Then
he
laughed
out
loud.
A
lesser
mortal
may
have
had
a
nervous
breakdown
in
the
face
of
such
an
overwhelming
personality,
but
not
our
Madrasi
Kannan.
Pat
came
his
reply,
"Yeh
Dharam
paaji
ka
haath
hain...zyaada
zor
ki
awaaz
aayegi," as
he
shook
his
fist
at
Akon,
too.
The
acclaimed
singer,
who
was
here
as
Shah
Rukh
Khan's
guest,
thinks
his
trip
to
India
was
totally
worth
it.
"The
Indian
land
has
showered
all
love
and
blessings
on
me,
from
both
the
entertainment
and
cricket
fields.
I
feel
privileged
and
lucky
that
I
have
received
the
goodwill
of
the
Indians,"
gushed
Akon
at
the
IPL
ceremony.
