Hussey a Great fan of Shahrukh

Australian cricketer David Hussey has become a great fan of Bollywood star Shahrukh Khan, the franchise owner of Kolkata Knight Riders. “He is a huge superstar.

He is a nice and super fellow. He takes off the pressure whenever he is around,” said Hussey on the eve of the Knight Riders- Deccan Chargers IPL match here on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Hussey said the team would like to keep the momentum going. “We are happy to take the confidence going,” he said, adding ``at the same time we don’t want to underestimate our opponents. Every game is a pressure game. Hyderabad is full of superstars.”

On the heat conditions, Hussey said since it was professional cricket they have to adapt to different conditions. “Winning the toss will be crucial.”

Meanwhile, Joy Bhattacharya, manager of Knights team said Shoaib Akhtar is fit. “He is in the 14. He is practising well in the nets.”

Ranbir Kapoor to co-star with Shah Rukh Khan in 'My Name is Khan'

Ranbir Kapoor will co-star with Shah Rukh Khan in Karan Johar's Next - My Name is Khan. Kajol is expected to play the female lead but has not formally accepted the assignment, as scripting is yet not complete.

Ranbir will play a jehadi in the long delayed film, which is finally underway, with Karan in Los Angles scouting for locations.

Ranbir recently told the press that he was very excited about the film and the chance to work with Shah Rukh.

The wily Karan, who tends to play safe by packing his film with a strong star cast, is also keen to rope in Akshay Kumar!

Shah Rukh will play a Muslim who gets wrongly detained on a flight because his last name is Khan and the authorities believe that must make a terrorist.

The first half of the film is based on the real life experience of a couple that was wrongly detained; Karan Johar has bought the story rights from them.

The film is expected to go on floor in October, after Shah Rukh completes filming for Aditya Chopra's Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.
