Seeing was believing. Hundreds of Shahrukh Khan fans had gathered at Ahmedabad's S.G.Highway based Dev-Arc mall to have a glimpse of Shahrukh Khan. At every rumor about Shahrukh Khan's arrival, they shouted loudly, and when King Khan arrived lately, the atmosphere was jubilant. Some were dancing, some were waving hands, almost every one was cheering loudly in whatever way he/she could.
Shahrukh Khan was in Ahmedabad to promote his forthcoming film Ra.One. The place was Cinemax multiplex which is located on the top floor of the Dev-Arc mall.
First, Ra.Onee's trailer was shown for three times, then Shahrukh arrived in black t-shirt and jeans. He was also wearing dark glasses. Gaurav Kapoor was the person with mike anchoring the event.
Shahrukh said he faced problem of mobs and delayed flight at Indore, then AC was not working in the flight. He introduced his forthcoming film Ra.One briefly. He said his film is an attempt to create an Indian superhero with matching technical quality of Spiderman or Superman. Shahrukh admired that the film industry has give Indian superhero like Krish and has attempted to do it in past through Drona. Shahrukh said there are too few films where relation of father and his male child is featured. This film has a story of a father and his male child. There is Karina in this film playing mother and wife.
After brief talk on his film, Shahrukh then opened the floor for question.
One journalist told Shahrukh that his film's name was similar to Abhishek Bachchan starrer Ravan which was released last year. Shahrukh told that RJ journalist that her observation scared him. Shahrukh said he has become G-One in this film who is good against bad that is Ra.One.
One journalist asked Shahrukh why he took Karina Kapoor in the film and not Dipika Padukone. Shahrukh answered that he wanted more experienced actress in this film, as he was not in able to take risk of casting a newer girl.
One more question asked to Shahrukh was that why he didn't make film like Ra.One before. Shahrukh replied that he had talked to Anurag of Eros about such story much before, but as it was too expensive, it took five years. And then it took production time and two years of post production time.
When asked when he would direct a film, Shahrukh said that job will be done once his children are grown up, because he wants to spend time with his children and family and Director's job simply means that he would have to take all time and tension of film.
About his interest in sports through KKR, Shahrukh said he is idealistic about sports. He said sports means health for him, it's not business. Shahrukh said he has a dream to make a stadium that could attract children to chose a career in sports.
Another journalist asked Shahrukh his opinion on Baba Ramdev's agitation against corruption. Shahrukh replied that there could be various ways of doing protest against corruption. When asked why the starts don't take interest in issues such as anti-corruption fight and other that are in national interest, Shahrukh replied very smartly.
He said, everyone should do his/her job. Shahrukh said there are hundreds of people standing outside cheering for him because they like Shahrukh who dances 'Dard-e-disco'. They follow him because of disco."I stand for acting, I stand for entertainment and I am doing it.If cricket team is not playing well, you don't say film heroes should jump in to play cricket, or if one journalist doesn't write good story, you don't expect film actors to do that. Everyone has his/her role to play. Our youths should carry forward the legacy of good that our country has."
Shahrukh added that he wants to make a film on corruption in which he would play role of an honest person.
Soon after press meet, Shahrukh went to lobby of Cinemax multiplex to open Ra.One corner. On public demand he spoke dialogue of his film 'Don'. Again he was back in the gallery where fewer less but still hundreds of youths shouted loudly and expressed joy of receiving his flying kiss. King Khan was back to hotel and to the airport.
