DIt has been raining phone calls and personal messages for Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan in UAE within days of an ad campaign featuring him with his local mobile number appeared on the television screens. Besides Khan, Du, the local telecom services provider, has roped in three other Arab celebrities, which include Lebanese TV presenter George Kurdahi, Emirati jewellery designer Azza Al Quabaisi and animation director Mohammed Saeed Hareb. Du, said that more than 8,000 calls with over 1,000 personal voice messages were recorded for Khan. But it was unclear whether all the four advertisements were shown on the same day.

The number of calls almost went up 200 per cent on the second day itself," Du said in a statement. On Monday an advertisement of the company ran on TV screens displaying Khan's mobile number alongside the endorsement of a product brand.Du, denied that the number was a marketing strategy after several fans and movie buffs questioned its authenticity. "Hi this is Shahrukh Khan. I cannot take your call right now. Please leave your message and love." a taped message in Khan's voice greeted the callers in Hindi.

The recorded voice however, did not mention that the star would revert back as any normal voiced message would do. By the end of the day, much to the disappointment of fans, no calls were going through."Due to the overwhelming public interaction, we have been facing some technical difficulties. We have optimised our system. Customers across the UAE can now continue to leave their personal messages for their beloved cine star uninterrupted," the company said.

Being SRK: The ultimate reality TV show

It's a job most Indians would die for — shadowing Shah Rukh Khan wherever he goes. For the last two months, that's exactly what a TV crew has been doing, following the country's biggest star from South Africa to America to London to Mumbai — all for the making of a unique six-part series on the actor, to be telecast on lifestyle channel Discovery Travel & Living. "It's an inner world-outer world kind of documentary," said Khan, speaking exclusively to HT. "Hopefully, the parts that people will get to see of me — at work and at other places — will shed some light on how films and film stars work and offer an insight into how I do things." Khan said he has got to know the crew quite well ("They have been very unobtrusive"). For Discovery Travel & Living, this series will be one of the biggest global productions to come out of India and will be shown all over the world. "We haven't yet decided when we're going to telec...
