Sunny Leone cannot contain her excitement. Her song Laila from Shah Rukh Khan's Raees is all set to hit the web next week. A week before that we caught up with the chirpy actress and tried to get some details about the much awaited song.

Ask her how did the song happen and she says, "We all met and did a test shoot on hair, make-up, the costuming and all of it. This doesn't happen very often here and I have noticed this over the past five years. So it was a kind of different experience working with Excel Entertainment. They are very professional. It was nice and they knew what they wanted."

In the video, we can see Sunny lip-syncing to Laila song. Probe her if she had to learn the lyrics and Sunny gushes, "Yes I had to (laughs). We spent 7-8 days rehearsing. Only after that, I tried on my costume and I was like 'Yes I am for sure doing the song. They are not going to switch me'. We worked very hard on that and even on the dance. It wasn't easy."

She continues, "I actually was like how am I going to do this. When you watch something for the first time, it does looks intimidating. And dancing, like any other job, you have to break it down to learn. It is difficult some days and easier the next. It is like practice makes you perfect. And I look forward to watch these songs in the film so I had this in mind that I have to do well."

Interestingly, when we met Sunny few months back, she had spoken about her first clumsy meeting with SRK. Quiz her on it and her experience of working with Shah Rukh for the first time and the lady reveals, "I looked like a freak when I met SRK for the first time. I had rollers on my head and all. We greeted each other. When I went back to my vanity, I was like did I really meet SRK like this? And on the first day I was very nervous just because I really wanted to do a good job. It was like the first day of your school or your new job. It was great. Shah Rukh Khan made me feel very much at home. You don't become SRK if you don't have that charisma and that amazing thing about your personality. He was very easy to work with. It was absolutely amazing. Actors in India and many other countries wish that they can work with SRK or get a picture with him and here I got to share the screen with him. It feels so good. This is a dream come true."

Did you like the video and have you spoken to SRK?

I watched the video today. These guys are damn secretive. I haven't spoken to him because I came back from LA just day before yesterday. I am hoping to speak to him soon. I had met him and Gauri Khan during Diwali and I had asked her 'How is the song looking?'. His wife told me 'It is looking amazing and you look good'. And you know when a woman says you look good, it is a big compliment. Then I felt so much better. I thought that if she likes it and thinks it is good, then it must be. Of course he said it's good but when a woman says, it has a different effect on another woman."

Quiz Sunny if we can get to see her dancing with Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan on Bigg Boss when they promote Raees on the show and the actress gets ecstatic. She springs out of excitement and states, "OMG it is such a great idea. I hope! Is anyone listening? Can we make that happen. It will be beyond great and an iconic moment - me dancing with SRK and Salman on Laila."
