Author Mohar Basu describes the book as a tribute to Khan’s illustrious career
Veteran film director Shoojit Sircar attended an event of Victorian State Government of Australia and the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM) to celebrate Indian cinema, in Mumbai
Amidst the launch of the book on Shah Rukh Khan, authored by Mohar Basu in Kolkata, the Filmmaker spoke on his bond with Shah Rukh that he knows the actor from Delhi, and for him, launching this book is an honour and privilege. Shah Rukh Khan is a superstar… He was doing theatre in Delhi, then left college to work in television, and eventually came to Mumbai. After coming to Mumbai, he became the Badshah. What can be a bigger inspiration than this? Whenever the filmmaker works on something, he goes and discusses it with him. We will do something together — we’re in discussions and keep talking as well.
Basu also spoke candidly about the book, describing it as a tribute to Khan’s illustrious career.
He went on to add that this book explores Shah Rukh Khan’s cultural impact, his journey, and the inspiration he has provided to fans worldwide over the decades. It has been received very well so far, and he hopes the love continues.”
The book paints vivid portraits of Khan’s inspirational life and unravels what he means to people around the globe — whether it’s a taxi driver in Paris, an Irishwoman in London, three generations of women in a family in Pakistan, or the legions of screaming fans across Europe, Asia, the US, the Middle East, and, of course, India.
