Shah Rukh buys out all books on cinema

Shah Rukh Khan is a man on a mission. The actor has been on a book-buying spree across the length and breadth of the city, scouring bookstores in his pursuit of the titles of his choice.

Few people are aware that the actor is a voracious reader and consumes books on a daily basis.
Khan is one of the few genuine B-Town bookworms, who buy books to read rather than for its collector value. He has a massive collection of books in his personal library, which he is now in the process of refurbishing along with the one in his office.

One guesses the B-Town badshah felt he needed 'thoda aur' and that's what sparked off his book-buying marathon.Sources say that SRK walked into a store in Khar the other day with three people as part of his entourage and walked out with every single book on Hollywood and Bollywood cinema, and on movie stars that it had in stock. On one of those visits, he reportedly spent a hefty amount on his purchases.

At this point, the man probably owns any and every book on Hollywood/ Bollywood cinema/stars that's available in the city. Which is quite a lot. When he's on a roll, iss star ko rokna mushkil hi nahin, namumkin hai!

"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...
