SRK, it’s the wrong dish!


Shah Rukh Khan takes crores to endorse one satellite dish and then installs another at his
Shahrukh Khan


office...

When Shah Rukh Khan dimples prettily from your TV screen asking if you don't want a better deal and clearer picture by using the satellite dish he is selling, you almost want to run out and get it. Such is the badshah's persuasive prowess. And that is why companies shell out crore to create superstar brand ambassadors.

Over years Shah Rukh has been impeccable ensuring his life-style choices were aligned with the brands he endorsed, whether it's the watch he wears, or more famously, the soft drink he endorsed until not too long ago. He's been the brand ambassador for this particular satellite dish company since 2007 and his contract was renewed three months ago for another eighteen months.

Which is why we were surprised to see the large satellite installed atop Khan's multi-storey office-cum-leisure space in the extension behind Mannat. It's not the Dish that SRK wants everyone to buy but a rival brand which is endorsed by none other than Shah Rukh's current bete noire, Aamir Khan. In a spate of recent interviews both have claimed to be the better marketer. Going by his preference in dish antennae, is Shah Rukh buying into Aamir's sales spiel?

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...
