Shah Rukh Khan to team up with British TV producer Simon Cowell?

Shah Rukh Khan and popular British television producer Simon Cowell may soon share stage for an event in Mumbai.

We're told that SRK will host the event — which will also be televised — organised by Cowell, in collaboration with a London-based event-management company. 

A source close to the actor says, "It'll be a talent show, which will see people from across the world competing. Cowell has wanted to venture into the Indian entertainment market for a while." 

We're told that the one-off show will be a ticketed event. However, the organisers are keeping further details under wraps till the official announcement is made. 

Confirming the news, Rav Singh, director of RFS Entertainment Ltd, the company organising the event, says, "Simon Cowell and Shah Rukh Khan will be teaming up for a live extravaganza. We are bringing these two global household names together." 

We're also told that owing to his international appeal, SRK was an obvious choice for this show.  A source close to SRK confirmed the news, but the actor himself remained unavailable for comment. We were also unable to independently verify the news with Cowell.

"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

'Every Damn Time,' Tweets Shah Rukh Khan, Detained At US Airport

Movie star Shah Rukh Khan, detained at an airport in the US for questioning again, tweeted on Thursday: "Every damn time!" The 50-year-old actor was detained at the Los Angeles airport this time. A man with the same name is on a US no-fly list of 80,000 people. He took to Twitter to voice his exasperation.

American officials tell NDTV that during immigration checks, what pops up is a name without any other detail to help draw a distinction. In April 2012, Mr Khan was held back for over two hours at the airport in New York on a visit to address students at Yale University. He had joked later at Yale: "Whenever I start fee
