Shah Rukh Khan has 30,000+ Twitter followers

Share This Post

Shah Rukh Khan, the Badshah of bollywood who started blogging on twitter to promote his upcoming flick ‘My Name Is Khan’, has already thirty thousand followers in two days on twitter but Kamaal Rashid Khan is still defiant and says that he will have more numbers than SRK in a month’s time.

Shah Rukh started twitting with ‘iamsrk’on Karan Johar’s prodding who wanted King Khan to join the social networking site to promote their upcoming flick. King Khan did not disappoint Karan and tweeted in his latest that he had dubbed for ‘My Name Is Khan’ for the twenty- fifth time due to perfectionist nature of Karan Johar.

On the other hand, Kamaal Khan, the Bhojpuri film actor and a contestant on the third season of Bigg Boss reality show who managed to make only sixty three fans in a day, still thinks that he was more popular than Shah Rukh Khan.

Leave Shah Rukh Khan, even his imposter on twitter whose profile name is ‘imsrk’, has made more than two thousand followers, which is far more that KRK’s meager number of sixty three.

Whereas Shah Rukh Khan’s purpose is to promote ‘My Name Is Khan, Kamaal Khan is busy searching for a heroine to be cast opposite him in ‘Deshdrohi 2’. While Shah Rukh Khan has actresses and other female fans falling over each other to be cast opposite him, KRK is still waiting for a suitable heroine who would agree to be cast opposite him.

However, in one respect Shah Rukh Khan and KRK are equal on twitter and that is in having fake profiles. While Shah Rukh Khan’s imposter calls himself ‘imsrk’, Kamaal Khan’s imposter profile clearly mentions that it’s a fake profile of KRK. In fact, it goes on to preach the imposter of Shah Rukh to take a lesson from him and clearly mention that it was a fake one.

Shah Rukh Khan’s stakes in Karan Johar’s ‘My Name Is Khan’ is very high due to involvement of SRK’s own production house as co-producer with Dharma productions. In fact, ‘Billu Barber’, which had been earlier made by SRK’s production house could not do much at the box office, and hence put more pressure on King Khan.

Shah Rukh Khan coming on twitter as ‘iamsrk’ should be seen in this light. Shah Rukh Khan does not want to leave any stone unturned in making ‘My Name Is Khan’ a success at the box office, which is releasing world over on February 12.

‘My Name Is Khan’ has King Khan portraying the character of a patient suffering from Asperger’s disease. Kajol plays the part of a single parent, who is in love with Shah Rukh. The movie has been set in the US and most parts of the shoot had taken place there.

Shah Rukh Khan is set to get into a superhero garb in the US. And he couldn't find a better backdrop for his sci-fi film than American beach town Miami.

Far from a grungy and dark setting, the Bollywood super-actor's special avatar will move to the sun-and-sand beaches for his next movie venture Ra. One. Adding to the hype in India, the local media in Miami has been agog over the prospect of King Khan heading to the city.

"A much- needed boost for the south Florida economy could be coming all the way from India, with song and dance sequences. The second major Bollywood film production (after Karan Johar's Dostana) in the city in the last 12 months is set to get underway in Miami in February 2010, and this one is even bigger than the last," states NBC Miami . SRK has been described as "Bollywood's answer to Hollywood stars Brad Pitt and George Clooney rolled into one". "In the film, he plays a Miami software engineer who accidentally gives life to a techo-monster that will go on to terrorise several parts of the city," states the report. It's believed that the real benefit of SRK's presence will be seen in drawing in tourists during the film's shooting.

SRK, on his part, is already excited about the project. He writes on his newly- launched Twitter account that he is playing Arkham Asylum - The Batman "because the next film is based on a video-game". The movie will be directed by Tum Bin director Anubhav Sinha.

Miami Today reports: "It's a superhero film, much like Superman or Spiderman, but instead of being set in a darker and grittier Gotham, the producers chose the exotic sun-and-sand of Miami for the backdrop." King Khan, meanwhile, is waiting for the release of his much-awaited film, My Name Is Khan.

Freeze, Shahrukh!

An accident and the resulting injury on the sets of Dulha Mil Gaya changed the course of Shahrukh Khan’s life and career for the whole of 2009. We all know that the superstar underwent a shoulder surgery and had his arm in a sling for good many months of last year.

Now, as ‘Dulha Mil Gaya’ is set to hit the screens coming Friday, we hear that the film’s makers are planning to freeze the frame in the scene where SRK got hurt. The idea seems inspired, if not filched, from the 1983 release ‘Coolie’ in which the director had paused the frame in the fight scene where Amitabh Bachchan got injured.

Big B’s injury was quite grave and the frozen moment in ‘Coolie’ became one of the memorable shots in the hit flick.

Though ‘Dulha Mil Gaya’ director Mudassar Aziz deny having any plan to pause the shot where SRK got injured, sources say the frame will be frozen in the film for just a few seconds.

‘Dulha Mil Gaya’ is set to release on January 8.
