SRK ropes in Vishal-Shekhar to compose new anthem for KKR

Shah Rukh Khan is all set for a major shake-up  after his IPL team, Kolkata Knight Riders have been crowned the champion of IPL's 7th edition.

However, King Khan is not looking at changes in the squad but KKR's famous anthem - 'Korbo, lorbo, jeetbo re'.

Bollywood music directors Vishal Dadlani and Shekhar Ravjiani, who had composed the current theme song, will do the honours again.

KKR's plans to make changes came to light when Shekhar congratulated SRK on Twitter after their fabulous win. He tweeted, "Congratulations!!!... (sic)" to which Shah Rukh replied, "thank u we need a new anthem now!!!! (sic)."

Shekhar later spoke to Indian daily Hindustan Times about composing a new anthem and confirmed the news. He said that the music director duo were already contemplating a few changes, but the team's astounding performance led to the team owners and the duo making more concrete plans to change the anthem to reflect the stupendous performance of the team.

According to the daily's sources, SRK is in favour of a more local character (read: Bengali) to the anthem. However, the music directors have been told to retain the current chorus and change the rest of the song.

KKR fans from all over India and abroad cannot wait to see the magic that Vishal-Shekhar create.
