Bollywood
action star Akshay Kumar Wednesday enlivened the launch event of the
forthcoming reality show 'Dare 2 Dance' by rapping the title song, which
he has also penned himself. His rap was catchy, but Akshay thinks
otherwise.

The actor, looking dapper suited booted, entered the stage and
started rapping like a professional with the audio of the song playing
in the background. He did a little jig with two contestants of the show
as well.
"I consider myself a bad singer. These guys (the channel officials)
wanted someone with a 'besura awaaz' (tuneless voice), so I had no
choice but to do it," he quipped.
Akshay, who is the host and mentor on the show, says he felt a strong
connect with "Dare 2 Dance" as it mixes the two worlds of dance and
adventure. That's why he went out of his way to ensure that it had an
edge over other reality shows.
Ajit Thakur, executive vice president and general manager of channel
Life OK, which will air the show starting Saturday, said when he took
the idea of doing a dance-based reality show in a studio to Akshay, the
actor gave an innovative suggestion: "Don't have a set!"
"He took the show to a different level. We started with something small, and he has made it so big," Thakur said.
Akshay said: "I didn't want the stage to be on the floor. I wanted it
to be in mid-air, underwater, on ice...I wanted to see how to make this
show different."
The "Dare 2 Dance" team gave a glimpse of what's in store in the
show, which was shot in the picturesque landscapes of Cape Town in South
Africa.
Two of the contestants even displayed their dancing talent live during the launch.
