 Shahrukh's burgeoning fan base in Germany, brave the cold of dawn to buy MNIK's tickets for 1000 Euros each.

'My Name is Khan', might be at the eye of a storm in Maharashtra but that hasn't put a stop to the film's release. The film, released at the Berlin Film Festival, is predicted to be this year's greatest hit, even better than the 2008 block buster 'Om Shanti Om'.

SRK, who has been facing extensive disapproval and ban in the name of politics, now has a reason to cheer.

Together with his clan, the actor is promoting the film across the globe. After nine long years, MNIK is the first film to bring together Karan, Shahrukh and Kajol.

Peddled as the biggest film of the year for its style and content, MNIK is already a hit even before its release.

Shahrukh Khan, Kajol and Karan Johar, who are currently at the 60th Berlin film festival promoting their film, will be glamming up the red carpet for the world premiere of their film today.

Shahrukh, who has captured the hearts of many people with his oodles of style and exceptional acting, has a huge fan base in Western Europe, particularly in the German speaking countries, where there's a colossal increase in fans over the past five years.

Having evoked a huge response at the Berlin film festival, the online tickets for 'MNIK', were sold out in five seconds on eBay for 1000 Euros each.

The Berlin Film Festival organizers, prepared themselves for big crowd for 'MNIK'. It was well known in advance that none of the fans would miss the action.

An Austrian professor who has traveled from Vienna to watch the film is hoping to meet and invite Shahrukh for a conference on Shahrukhology and SRK's global appeal.

The University of Vienna's professor, Elke Mader, who is overwhelmed by King Khan's global presence said, "The Hollywood or German masculine hero is very one dimensional but SRK is different. He's the new global Indian hero who is also the ambassador of Indian culture and Indian cinema."

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...
