Shah Rukh Khan is a powerful brand

The saleability of stars has always benefitted filmmakers. After all, that is the reason why stars come with such a huge price tag. However, an actor like Shah Rukh Khan is a class apart. Even movies that just feature his name in the title can draw a lot of attention irrespective of whether he is playing a significant role in it.

Recently Makrand Deshpande, who is promoting his upcoming film 'Shahrukh Bola Khoobsurat Hai Tu', came to witness the hype and hoopla that surrounds SRK. He says, " I had booked a mall for the shooting of the movie. But when the mall authorities found out about the name of the movie, they hiked the price. I was surprised to see the impact of Shah Rukh's name on my movie," says Makrand. He further adds, " From that day I realised the power of brand name.

Shah Rukh's name itself is a powerful brand." However, speaking about his brand choice, the director says, " I don't believe in flaunting brands. I lead a simple life I take or do whatever I like. I don't go for branded stuff." It remains to be seen how much impact the movie has on the box office though.

"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...
