Shah Rukh Khan has high hopes from the young players in his IPL team this season

Shah Rukh Khan has high hopes from the young players in his IPL team this season Even though Shah Rukh Khan is busy with his Yash Chopra film co-starring Katrina Kaif , he will take time off to boost the spirits of his IPL team. Says the actor, "I am shooting currently, but when I get eight to 10 days free, I will fly down to Kolkata to watch the matches." "Hopefully, I will complete the film by July and take a couple of months off. Only then will I decide what to do next," adds Shah Rukh, squashing reports saying that he will start Rohit Shetty's Chennai Express this year. "I have been reading these reports, but I have not decided when I will start shooting." On another note, the actor is all praise for Katrina.

One particular fan, Vishal Singh, made it into various Indian news sources for creating a shrine to him, plastering over 22,000 pictures of Khan around his home.

'Veer-Zaara' Preity, SRK hang out at their IPL team clash

Shah Rukh Khan and Preity Zinta displayed some friendly camaraderie at the Punjab Cricket Association's stadium in Mohali despite being owners of rival IPL teams. At the match held between SRK's Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Preity's Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) last night, Shah Rukh's team may have emerged victorious but that didn't stop him from bonding with good friend Preity post the match. Once the match got over, SRK and Preity took a walk around the stadium and even exchanged their team jerseys. While SRK wore the red KXIP jersey, Preity put on the KKR jacket which SRK was wearing throughout the match. Needless to say the shutterbugs went crazy seeing the friendly banter between SRK and Preity. Preity even thanked SRK for coming down to Mohali and tweeted, "@imsrk So nice 2 finally have u at our home game Shah. Was funny seeing people with Veer Vs Zaara posters. Haha ! Lots of love always :-)"
