SRK to do a musical!

Shah Rukh Khan is set to do a Broadway-style, big budget Indian musical, the second to be attempted here after the City of Dreams.

Plans to make SRK's musical global are also being contemplated. However, the Bollywood Badshah will only do a cameo which will have a crucial impact on the plot. The event management company that is making this musical said a full-fledged publicity plan is being devised cashing in on SRK's presence in the show as this is now its USP.

Getting Shah Rukh on board wasn't easy. Help of the Morani brothers, with whom the actor has worked for many years, was taken; a meeting set up, and SRK got into the nitty-gritty of the show. He took time to get convinced because he wanted to be sure that the project is actually big. Anticipations on his role are high. But as of now, everything is hush-hush.
