Chennai Express stars Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone have teamed up for a song to pay a tribute to superstar Rajnikanth.

Titled Thalaivar Tribute (Lungi Dance), the song has been sung and composed by rapper Honey Singh and choreographed by Chinni Prakash.

Shah Rukh, who is currently busy promoting Chennai Express, said he took up the song  as he is a huge fan of the "global cultural icon Rajnikanth".

"Who isn't a fan of 'The Rajnikanth'? I had met Honey Singh and Bhushan Kumar five days back and he made me hear the song, which is titled Thalaivar Tribute (Lungi Dance). I found it very apt for Rajni sir and wanted to be a part of it as a fan of one of the greatest actors we have. Deepika, on my request, happily agreed to be a part of the song because even she is a huge fan of Rajni sir. The song is fun, happy and completely Rajnikanth Style!," Shah Rukh said.
