Bulawaa Aaya Hai": Shah Rukh Khan in the UAE on IPL

D-day is finally here. IPL 7 will start in all pomp and glory in the UAE but without the usual glitz associated with the event. In fact, it appears with all the controversies that have been the highlights of the IPL so far, the focus this year is solely on cricket. "Things are being kept pretty low key with not much information on the movements of the cricketers or the stars," said a source to Masala! Incidentally, there are a few private parties being planned by prominent citizens of Dubai for their cricketer friends though it's pretty hush-hush.

However, the team owners and cricketers seem to be extremely excited about playing in the UAE. Shah Rukh Khan, owner of the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) has already landed in Abu Dhabi and has been tweeting: 'The full moon has followed me from Mumbai to Abu Dhabi…so has its dark side. Nice to be here and seeing all my IPL buddies. Bulawaa aaya hai." He further tweeted: 'All nighter in Abu Dhabi. Haven't slept 2 days but I know it will be fun with the IPL players so hard work comes easy.'

King Khan will be joined by Deepika Padukone and Madhuri Dixit at the opening night gala dinner being hosted by the royal family at the Emirates Palace hotel in Abu Dhabi. While there were reports earlier that Madhuri and Deepika are likely to perform at the opening ceremony, Shah Rukh, it's said will be mingling and interacting with the guests. Adding to the glamour quotient perhaps will be Rajasthan Royal's co-owner Shilpa Shetty and Kings X1 Punjab's co-owner Preity Zinta. The invite-only dinner will be attended by VIPs, dignitaries and top international cricketers along with the seven IPL teams.

Being SRK: The ultimate reality TV show

It's a job most Indians would die for — shadowing Shah Rukh Khan wherever he goes. For the last two months, that's exactly what a TV crew has been doing, following the country's biggest star from South Africa to America to London to Mumbai — all for the making of a unique six-part series on the actor, to be telecast on lifestyle channel Discovery Travel & Living. "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...
