Shahrukh Khan's trade secret!

Shahrukh Khan is a smart businessman. He is a frustrated sportsman as he says which he vents out in his movies. He is the most successful star in the Bollywood fraternity. He is living many lives kingsize. He is there everywhere promoting F1 races, golf, hockey, football, movies, cricket, endorsements..ahem! No wonder, he is the King Khan. Management gurus and financial magazines are stating that SRK is a fine businessman as well. But the King Khan begs to differ.

In a report to Times of India Shahrukh Khans states, “People only look at the successes that I have had and think I’m a skilled businessman. It’s all crap. I have faced a lot of failures. When I first started my production company, everyone wrote it off. When Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani was released, it was written off instantly, and I remember headlines that said ‘Dreams turn into nightmares’, ‘Dreams gone down in dumps’. And, I started an internet company that went into nothing, complete zilch..”

But Shahrukh Khan has always maintained that however down the pits he had been in business, he had never taken a loan. Taking a fig from his mother’s advice, SRK believes in “air utne phailao jitni chadar ha” As he says,” , whenever I have had the chadar fall short, I have tried to stretch it by working more, by dancing more, by doing whatever it takes — but making sure that whoever has done a job with me, gets value for money. I’m old fashioned when it comes to money. I don’t even take an advance for a film that I do. I don’t do a business if I can’t afford it. Even the IPL investment — I have only been able to do because of all the guys who have come aboard and put in money with me. Hopefully, I will not lose here.””

s.Shahrukh Khan is very middle class in his thoughts and outfits. The black suits that he wears are the same, only the ties keep changing. The designer clothes are courtesy his movies. SRK states the money that he has earned from Kya Aap Paanchvi Pass Se Tez Hain ? has been pooled into IPL. Same as the money he earned from Kaun Banega Crorepati has been pooled in Om Shanti Om. Money goes back to work, as he say

Why King Khan is KING KHAN! SRK loves to have them all

SRK’s popularity seems to be scaling new heights not just in Bollywood but in every arena where he makes his presence. SRK has always taken calculated risks and he is raring for more. Energy is his middle name and he is simply unstoppable. Unlike other stars who say that they are not bothered about number, SRK has stated that it feels good to be on top. He believes in being the best and not necessarily the first. He may not necessarily start a trend but he will do things his way. Shahrukh Khan likes to get back to people in his own inimitable style.

Politicians SRK was spurned by a section of politicians who stated that SRK should stop coming to watch cricket matches for advertising his movie. SRK felt hurt, but made the necessary changes. He bid and won the Kolkata team for the IPL cricket matches. Shahrukh made cricket his personal concern now and no one could stop him.

TZP trio: Darsheel Safary, Aamir Khan and Taare Zameen Par are the words frequently used this season. Aamir Khan suddenly loomed over SRK. Though both the Khans are friendly with each other, SRK wanted to make his presence felt among kids too. Hrithik is popular with kids (Kaho na pyaar Hai and Koi..Mil Gaya) and so is Aamir Khan (Taare Zameen Par)..C Shahrukh be left behind? No way, he wants to be there..up there! No prizes for guessing, SRK has come up with a quiz show for kids- Kya Aap Panchvi Pass se Tez Hain? and the most expensive movie for kids

Amitabh Bachchan-There were a lot of debates about who was the box office ruler Amitabh Bachchan or Shahrukh Khan. Both being diplomatic and politically correct acted with dignity. SRK has tremendous respect for the Big B and said both of them cannot be compared. But the titans clashed everytime and wherever they clashed, there was an explosion. SRK performed brilliantly with the Big B, especially in the confrontation scenes of Mohabbatein and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gam. Shahrukh Khan then did 3 things that Big B was known for-Don, Kaun Banega Crorepati and endorsements. SRK’s Don-The Chase Begins was technically slick and was a hit with the youngsters, which was exactly what he wanted.

Though most people said that SRK was no match for the chivalry and class which Big B had for Kaun Banega Crorepati, SRK fashioned KBC-3 in his own initimtable style. KBC-3 was more of a fun-show and had an air of informality that was trademark SRK. The result even KBC-3 was a success and the last episode featuring Katrina and Salman Khan had one of the maximum TRP ratings ever. SRK is now the highest earning ad-endorser. He has even taken over some of the ads which the Big B used to endorse.

Dilip Kumar: Early in his career, SRK was accused of copying Dilip Kumar. To clarify things, he did a movie that Dilip Kumar excelled in, Devdas . Critics and naysayrers said that SRK would never be a Dilip Kumar. SRK did not want be so anyway, he wanted to do the movie his way. The result Devdas was a huge hit and SRK won a lot of awards for his brilliant performance.

When King Khan lost...well, almost

Shahrukh Khan was on the verge of failure during the year 1999 and 2000. This period was his biggest dip in his career. Badshaah was the only hit of 1999 and later SRK faced a flop in the form of Heyy Ram. In the year 2000, the most expected movie Phir Bhi Dil Hain Hindustani took a severe beating at the box office. The movie was produced by SRK’s own production house, Dreamz Unlimited with Juhi Chawla. The company suffered financial losses and to add salt to the wounds, Hrithik Roshan emerged as the best thing to happen to Bollywood. His movie Kaho Na Pyaar Hai took off brilliantly and trade pundits forecasted the doom of Shahrukh Khan. But then as Shahrukh khan always has the last laugh, he resurfaced at the fag end of 2000 with Mohabbatein. It was the second biggest hit of the year after Kaho Na Pyaar Hai. Shahrukh Khan who has a fabulous relationship with Hrithik Roshan jokingly quoted in one of the Filmfare Awards show recently that Hrithik nearly brought him down at one time.

Shahrukh Khan going the Taare Zameen Par way, about to make the most expensive children's movie ever

Shahrukh Khan seems to be bitten by the Taare Zameen Par bug. Close on the heels of the success of Taare Zameen Par, Shahrukh Khan has announced his decision to make a movie on children. This will be reportedly the most expensive movie ever made on children. SRK made his announcement about making an adventure movie for kids with special effects that could cost his production company $ 25 million! Shahrukh Khan will also be acting in it.

SRK who has a penchant for fantasy movies, thrills and adventure is floating this movie that will actually be about a group of children who go on an adventure spree and then are faced by surprising turns of events that go against them. SRK is not leaving any stone unturned to make it as technically sound as Spiderman movies. The film will be directed by Anubhav Sinha, of Tum-Bin fame.

Shahrukh Khan-the biggest star in the world?

“Shahrukh Khan is the biggest movie star in the world” crooned people in Germany, and no there were not just Indians who were saying it but white skinned phirangs who gushed and cheered the King Khan as he went to Berlin to promote his recent and biggest blockbuster after Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge, Om Shanti Om. OSO is SRK’s second biggest hit ever, second only to DDLJ.

Reports in NDTV and other news channels shows enthusiastic supporters and PYTs from Germany rooting for Shahrukh Khan. Om Shanti Om has become a huge success story in India as well as abroad. The girls there were singing to the tunes of “Tujhe Dekha Toh Jana Sanam” and “Om Shanti Om” in cute German accent. The mass hysteria that King Khan commanded in Germany bears testimony to the fact that Shahrukh Khan is a national star as well as a huge star in countries like Germany, France, UK, USA and Gulf countries. It is a thing of pride and honor for India as the biggest entertainer of India is also the greatest star in the world. A German journalist stated in media that SRK is as popular as Pope, but sexier! When Shahrukh Khan was quizzed about him being popular than Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, SRK in his usual trademark wit said, “That is all fine but I am paid much lesser than them. “ Makes sense actually.

Kya Aap Panchvi Pass se Tez Hain?-Shahrukh Khan plays host in the biggest TV game show ever

Shahrukh Khan is coming up with the mother of all quiz shows- Kya Aap Panchvi Pass se Tez Hain? The prize money of the show is a whopping 5 crores. It is based on the lines of the famous American TV quiz show Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader.

Kya Aap Panchvi Pass se Tez Hain? will have adult contestants who will be asked questions onsubjects learnt by the children from standard I to standard V. There will be 5 rounds in total and both kids and adults will have participation on the show. Expect the likes of Darsheel Safary and Swini Kara to attend the show as guests or participants in future. Everything that SRK touches turns gold and SRK’s wit and charm will make sure that the serial has the highest viewing. Looks like Synergy Adlabs who is producing the quiz show will leave no stone unturned to make the show a resounding success. Shahrukh Khan recently stated in a press interview that in an average household, the child has control over the TV remote. If the child likes to watch the show, parents give company and the entire family sits to watch the show. This is the reason why SRK says a TV quiz show on children will attract the entire family.
