Place: Mannat, superstar Shah Rukh Khan's suburban bungalow.
Time: Late afternoon.
The actor is hidden from view, the epicentre of a hum of activity, multitasking as he types out mobile messages and listens to three of his team share cross-country schedules: timelines, dates, cities — the whirl of a superstar readying for a mega movie release.
"Give me a minute," he tells me. He may be sitting but he gives the impression of motion: nervous energy clings to him, it permeates the air. He looks up — in spectacles with red rims, casual jeans and tee — 'Tell me', he says.

"However cliched that sounds, I feel this is my purpose of life, to make films."
