Shah Rukh Khan is on cloud nine, after his team Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) won the Indian Premier League (IPL) trophy for the second time.
The actor has now decided to make a few changes to celebrate the victory of his team. No, it's not related to the squad, but it's the theme song that Khan wants to change.
Apparently, the actor wants a new song that will celebrate the victory of his team and will also showcase Bengali culture.
The "Happy New Year" actor is already in talks with music director Shekhar Ravjiani and Vishal Dadlani to direct the new song. The Vishal-Shekhar duo also composed the first theme anthem "Korbo, Lorbo, Jitbo Re (We will do it, Fight for it, Win it)".
The news came out when Ravjiani congratulated SRK on Twitter and the actor replied saying that he wants them to work on new anthem now.
Let's do it. :) "@iamsrk: @ShekharRavjiani thank u we need a new anthem now!!!!"

Ravjiani too confirmed the news saying that they had been working on the idea for some time and will get started on it soon.
"We had been contemplating the idea for some time now. And with the team wowing us with their phenomenal performance, looks like it's time. It's good to see that SRK is set to get started on the new anthem," Ravjiani told Hindustan Times.
The song will be different from the present one, except the tune of the chorus, HT quoted an insider as saying.
"KKR's present anthem Korbo, lorbo, jeetbo reis huge. I can promise that the next one is going to be even bigger, in keeping with the team's outstanding performance year after year," Rajivani added.
Meanwhile, Kolkata on Thursday felicitated the actor and his team at the Eden Gardens for winning the final. SRK and Juhi Chawla, owners of KKR, along with the team and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee were present at the Eden Gardens.
"I dedicated this win to my little child AbRam and the hard work done by Gautam and his team. Thank you Bengaluru and thank you IPL. We believed in ourselves and the hard work done by the team management," Shah Rukh told the official broadcasters after winning the match, according to Press Trust of India.
