SRK's biography selling like hot cakes

Mumbai: It was a grand set designed by Nitin Desai, and dotted with a bevy of stars. At an event to mark the success of the latest book dedicated to Shah Rukh Khan, Bollywood celebrities including the star himself took turns at reading excerpts.

Titled King of Bollywood Shah Rukh Khan and the Seductive World of Indian Cinema by Anupama Chopra, the book symbolised Shah Rukh’s rise to that of the post reforms 90s economy of India. And the intellectual analogy driving it has found admirers in the filmi circle.

"I think Shah Rukh redefines the cinema success story and Anupama's book chronicles this to the best,” said actress Dia Mirza.

Filmmaker Karan Johar added, “It's a book that will tell the world that humane side of Shah Rukh that no one has quite known so far.”

As for Shah Rukh Khan himself, his association with this biography has been so close that he has put his autobiography in the back burner for now.

"I began my book almost seven years ago and have delayed in one way or the other. Now Anupama's book is updated till 2006. And there's not a lot more to tell, I am hoping that in another four years to make it interesting,” he said.

So if the success of Chak De India were not enough, SRK is now celebrating the success of his latest book. All this while though, we shall await his tell-all autobiography that shall surely spell a lot more success than this one.
