SRK's changing schedule leaves traffic cops fuming - Bangalore

While diehard King Khan fans waited patiently for their hero to visit the city to promote his upcoming movie Ra.One yesterday morning, the city traffic police were put through hours of torture because of the star's ever-changing schedule.

According to the original itinerary, Shah Rukh Khan was to visit Royal Meenakshi Mall on Banneragatta Road by 11 am, for which over 30 police personnel had been deployed in the vicinity since 7 am to manage traffic and ensure the event went smoothly.

However, the cops were in for a surprise as it was suddenly decided that his visit would be postponed for 6.30 pm instead.

Police officials, blissfully unaware of the change, continued to regulate traffic on the stretch and keep a vigil. Meanwhile, plans were changed three times in all, and several officials complained that they were left quite confused.

"First and foremost, we were not aware of this program. When we were finally informed, we immediately designated our officials and laid down an elaborate plan to secure the area to avoid any untoward incident.

However, the organisers kept changing plans and there was minimal communication with us," said M A Saleem, ACP (Traffic).

"It's an inner world-outer world kind of documentary," said Khan, speaking exclusively to HT.

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.
