Live life king size goes the old adage and that holds true for Bollywood King Khan, Shahrukh Khan, who turns 46 on November 2 this year. Metros and cities across the country and world are agog with King Khan’s latest venture Ra. One. Reports in the media state that the movie is a super duper success and has already raked in 176 cr moolah and set to earn more laurels despite the negative sentiments.
Speaking about the success of his latest release, Ra. One, Khan said that he made the film after his kids said that he did not make anything for them. For this reason, he decided to something different and science fiction took off. The actor said that he hadn’t forgotten his early days when his films failed to ring the cash registers. He said that to highlight the film, he entered into a deal with UTV Indiagames to launch Ra. One game across social networks and gaming platforms.
All credit for the social avatar of his character - G.One surely must solely go to Shahrukh only. Agreeing that it was no longer the days of posters and trailers, Shahrukh added films needed to be promoted more aggressively and hence the game for Ra. One.
The actor revealing the story plot said that the movie is about a father-son with lot of special effects, action tale about a video game designer who finds the real and virtual worlds melting. He said that the title ‘Ra. One’ is short for Random Access 1.0 and also a pun on 10-headed Lanka King Ravan.
Describing the Bollywood Badshah, Ra. One director Anubhav Sinha said that the actor had this ability to be the perfect combination of who he was and what the public wanted him to be. He said that the actor was very spontaneous. Recalling an incident, Sinha said that during the production of ‘Ra.One’, he had asked the actor to record a birthday video for his son, to see when he would be away, instead the actor sang and danced for him holding everyone’s attention.
Unmoved by all the praises heaped on him, a grounded Shahrukh says that he has faced a lot of failures. He said that people had written him off after his film ‘Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani’ produced under his banner tanked at the box office. Not to forget the internet company that also bombed.
Khan states that he doesn’t take any advance from any one, but believes that people who work with him will not suffer as he is good. With over 70 films behind him, actor, producer and television presenter Shahrukh made his Bollywood debut in Deewana in 1992. Since then slowly and steadily, King Khan has been climbing each ladder successfully. His films that have driven people crazy are Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge (1995), Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998), Chak De! India (2007), Om Shanti Om (2007) and Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (2008). However, even till date films like Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham... (2001), Kal Ho Naa Ho (2003), Veer-Zaara (2004), Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (2006) and My Name Is Khan (2010) have been earning revenue in the overseas markets.
With 14 Filmfare Awards under his belt, Shahrukh has received eight of these in the Best Actor category, which is a record for any actor. For his contributions towards Indian cinema, the Union Government honoured Shahrukh with the Padma Shri in 2005.
The actor became popular on the small screen for his role as Commando Abhimanyu Rai in Fauji and as the son of a circus owner in Aziz Mirza’s Circus. The actor has been compared to the veteran thespian Dilip Kumar for his acting style. Khan etched his name in the hearts of the people for his portrayal in Darr and Baazigar.
Khan has worked with every top director be it Yash Chopra, Mani Ratnam, Ashutosh Gowarikar, Karan Johar or Sanjay Leela Bhansali to give one hit after another. In the same breath, he has worked with Salman Khan, Aishwarya Rai but has been paired with Kajol in six films, which have been runaway hits.
Coming from the heart of Delhi, Shahrukh has earned a place in the dil of every filmgoer. He has a hand in everything beginning from films, TV shows, advertisements, owning teams in Indian Premier League and F1 racing. Starting his career as a negative hero, Shahrukh soon reversed roles to that of a hero to say “Main Hoon Na” when people looked around for saleable heroes.
Shahrukh has won the hearts of his fans by his charismatic image and witty humour. An Oscar would have been Shahrukh’s, only if he had said a big yes to director Danny Boyle’s ‘Slumdog Millionaire’. The actor had refused to don the mantle of a host show in the movie which later went to Anil Kapoor. The Badshah said that ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ was a very nice movie, however, it was not an Indian movie.
Many Bollywood actors have wax statues in Madame Tussauds, but King Khan has two- one here and the other in France. Just like his films, his stage shows too are also very popular. Like the Bollywood Shahenshah, Amitabh Bachchan, Shahrukh has also hosted the very popular television show, ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’.
Born to Taj Mohammed Khan and Lateef Fatima on November 2, 1965 Shahrukh did his schooling at St Columbas in Delhi, graduation in economic honours from Hansraj College and Masters Degree in Mass Communications at Jamia Millia Islamia.
Married to Gauri Chibber, Shahrukh is blessed with a daughter and son. Come Christmas and Shahrukh’s ‘Don 2: The Chase Continues’ will hit the screens. We at TCG wish Shahrukh Good Luck.
