SRK Denies Spat with Amitabh
Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has scotched media reports of his spat with mega superstar Amitabh Bachchan, saying that it was all baseless.
A section of the press had reported about the Bachchan-SRK cold war to which the actor said, “Yes, even I have read this in the newspapers. We are grown-up educated people and working professionals. In Hollywood, do you hear news like Tom Cruise bashing up Brad Pitt? Then why is such stuff carried by you here?”
SRK was at Hotel Lands End to announce his comeback to television as a new avtaar with the biggest game show Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC).
“I never left TV. The journey from Fauji, a serial on the small screen, to KBC is like a home-coming. This show will have a great emotional connection,” SRK said.
SRK said it was unfair to compare him with Bachchan as the latter’s contribution to the world of entertainment is immense.
KBC will be aired in January next year from Monday to Thursday at 2100 hrs on StarPlus.
SRK will be reportedly paid Rs 70,000 per episode, while Bachchan used to be paid Rs 40,000 per episode.
WHY SRK’S KBC LOGO IS RED
Shah Rukh Khan seemed to be in an unbelievably good mood at the press meet for Kaun Banega Crorepati in Mumbai. Not only did he crack jokes but he also responded with characteristic humour to questions like ‘Why is the KBC logo in your case red, while it was blue in Amitabh Bachchan’s version?’
Sample Khan’s response to this: “Amitji is like God in our industry and we keep him above everyone else. His stature is as high as the sky. And thus, the color is blue. In my case, I am desh ka Lal, thus the colour is red!”
Quite innovative, one must say.
