Akshay Kumar, who is currently busy with promo tions of Gabbar Is Back, was overheard saying that Kareena Kapoor Khan's song in the movie, Teri Meri Kahaani, is a treat. Says he, “Bebo has been an integral part of my career; we've done many movies together and I hope we do many more.“ According to Akshay , Kareena is the quintessential Bollywood heroine who is also a terrific performer. He adds, “Bebo knows how deeply I appreciate her effort and expertise. She is my lucky charm. I'm sure viewers are going to love her in Teri Meri Kahaani. She has brought a kindness to our film like no other.“

Gabbar Is Back, that is touted as a summer vacation treat, focuses on an aam aadmi (Akshay, whose screen name is Gabbar) waging war against corruption. While Gabbar is the tough guy, he also has a soft and emotional side when it comes to his family. The actor will be seen romancing Kareena in the soulful number, Teri Meri Kahaani, which happens to be the first song to be launched for this film. This track will take viewers through the emotional journey of the couple.

It's a well-known fact that Kareena does special appearances only for close friends. She had earlier done the Chinta Ta Ta Chita Chita number for Rowdy Rathore, co-produced by Shabinaa Khan. And this time also, Akshay and Shabinaa really wanted her in this film.

Excited about the song, Kareena said, “I'm an emotional person. For me, relationships in the industry are of prime importance. My song in Gabbar Is Back is for my friend Shabinaa. I had a great time doing a cameo in the Rowdy Rathore song too and shooting for this song was even more fun and enjoyable“.

Gabbar Is Back, produced by Viacom18 Motion Pictures and Sanjay Leela Bhansali; co-produced by Shabinaa Khan releases on May 1.
