Well, reports claimed that SRK was organizing a birthday bash for his foreigner friend at his residence Mannat on April 16, but when Akon said that he wanted to spend his birthday with friends and fans, the B-town superstar backtracked.

In a conversation with Mid-day, a source said, “Since the singer wanted fans in attendance as well it was obvious the party wouldn't happen at SRK's residence”.

“But it's equally surprising that Shah Rukh chose to go hunting for a venue and for sponsors (albeit unsuccessfully) that would spare him the costs of hosting the bash. How unclassy”, added the source.

And, now while Akon’s ‘Ra.One’ friends won’t be there on his birthday, other celebrities including Sonakshi Sinha and Priyanka Chopra are expected to be on his new guest-list.

Akon wishes to watch ‘Thank You’
Akon, who has a concert in Bangalore on Sunday, has disclosed two special desires and hopes that they are fulfilled before he leaves for his home country on Monday.

One is that the singer wants to taste Indian cuisines and secondly, he wants to watch Suniel Shetty’s recently released movie ‘Thank You’.

"Akon wants to watch at least one film of Suniel. He has heard good things about Suniel in Thank You. Akron’s hosts will show him at least portions of the film”, revealed a source.

Everything is set for his Gorgon concert, say organizers
Meanwhile, organizers for Akon’s Indian performances said that his Gurgaon concert would take place as planned, and everything was set.

"It has been a complete pleasure working with the Gurgaon officials. We are looking forward to staging one of the biggest productions that Gurgaon has ever witnessed in recent times”, said Sujit Jain, managing director, Netsurf Entertainment.

“Fans can rest assured of a fantastic experience as everything from security to ambience to fare is being well taken care of", he added.
