Shah Rukh, John and Drish while shooting for the commercial

A star's charisma can sometimes be overwhelming. Ask 16-year-old Drish, who is the new face in the Pepsi commercial starring Shah Rukh Khan and John Abraham.

Drish might look like a cool dude when he addresses Shah Rukh Khan Khan as uncle in the latest Pepsi commercial, which has just been aired on television. But the reality is that the kid almost broke down in front of Shah Rukh.

Says a source close to the unit," This kid didn't know how to react when he saw Shah Rukh and just started crying and even had trouble performing in front of SRK. He kept wondering how he would enact the scene in which he had to call SRK 'uncle' and ask him to move out of his way so that he could get hold his Pepsi can."

The ad film's director Prasoon Pandey confirms and says," Any newcomer will be overwhelmed to see an icon as big as SRK in front of him. It is quite logical something like that could happen."

Pandey apparently had to do a lot of retakes with Drish, who was finding it difficult to concentrate on the shoot after meeting SRK.

"Retakes are quite a normal thing on every set. So, there is absolutely nothing wrong in retaking the same scene," adds Pandey.

Pandey says," Shah Rukh and John not only acted in the commercial but also gave their creative inputs. They have even written some of the dialogues for the ad film. My agency's creative team and the two actors sat down to chalk the dialogues of the commercial."

It maybe recalled here even Shahid Kapur, who shot his first commercial with Shah Rukh, Rani and Kajol before the release of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, too had got nervous on meeting the superstar. Even Dia Mirza couldn't help being nervous when she had to bite the biscuit off from Shah Rukh's mouth in a recent commercial. Sometimes, she was unable to bite properly, and sometimes her expression went wrong and nervousness clearly showed on her face.

Latest Box Office Report for SRK's Chak De! India
The film has already collected close to 20 crores from the first week and with hardly any major opposition in second week.

As people got into a weekend mode, the unthinkable happened and the film was running to a houseful response all over. All current booking counters showed a houseful board while tickets for Saturday and Sunday too were sold out pronto. In nutshell, a film that was now slated to be yet another success for Shahrukh Khan.

End of story? Not quite.

Typically the best of films see a fall over the weekdays (as expected) only to pick up again in the weekend to follow. It would have been natural for CHAK DE INDIA to follow the same route to. But did that happen? Not really. The film saw a dip in collections but far lower than what other films have shown in recent times. Also, the dip was observed only on Monday and the first half of Tuesday because as the day came to a close, the holiday mood was back again due to Wednesday being Independence Day.

Situation at the box office on Tuesday evening and entire Wednesday was same as observed over the weekend which meant that the film was simply relentless in accumulating great collections along with immense appreciation.

As things stand today, the film has shown a bumper second weekend with excellent collections on Friday/Saturday with Sunday looking phenomenal too. The film has already collected close to 20 crores from the first week and with hardly any major opposition in second week (MARIGOLD has opened to a disastrous response while BUDDHA MAR GAYA has it's own set of audience), it is widely expected that collections would be tremendous in second week too.

Jaadu Meri Nazar
Chak De's Shah Rukh magic will last a long time.

After playing yuppie lover in several romantic films he got tagged as the best entertainer in the country. But Shah Rukh Khan has surprised everyone with his latest "Chak De! India" where his performance as a no-nonsense hockey coach establishes him as one of the finest actors in the Hindi film industry.

If writer Jaideep Sahni and director Shimit Amin are getting accolades for making such an unconventional film, Shah Rukh too is winning praise for his natural performance as Kabir Khan, the disgraced hockey player who tries to redeem his prestige by coaching the women's hockey team and making them winners. Those who thought "Swades" was SRK's best performance, as an Indian American NASA scientist who comes home on a visit only to get involved in developmental projects in a village, will be surprised with his emoting in "Chak De! India".

The actor, who had earned much flak for doing "Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna", shows his prowess and shuts up critics as "Chak De..." has so far not received any negative feed back.

While fans say they are proud of him for choosing an unusual film like this, critics across the globe are raving about how effortlessly he plays a coach who travels to glory from gloom.

"After 'Swades' Shah Rukh has again essayed a role where he has totally negated his own superstar self and completely become the character he is supposed to play. There is not a single trace of the superstar that we have seen in most of his films like 'Don'," said Anuradha, a Shah Rukh fan.

Critic Andy Webster in his review in New York Times writes: "For his part, Mr. Khan, to his credit, lets his co-stars' youthful charisma carry the movie. He also laudably portrays a man who vigorously and unabashedly advocates the advancement of women."

The film is based on former India goalkeeper Mir Ranjan Negi who lost his glory after conceding several goals in a match against Pakistan in the 1982 Asian Games final. He was dropped from the team. Negi returned to the hockey field, most grudgingly, 16 years later as a goalkeeping coach and helped India in winning the 1998 Asian Games men's gold at Bangkok and the women's gold at the Manchester Commonwealth Games in 2002.

Shah Rukh convincingly portrays the shame, disillusionment of the disgraced hockey player and determination to win back his prestige.

Negi, who was roped in as a technical director of the film, said he was impressed by Shah Rukh's performance.

"He is a fine actor and evoked the right emotions in the movie. He has done justice to the role," Negi told IANS.

Aditya Chopra's mega hit "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge" gave the actor the yuppie romantic hero image, and others hits like "Dil To Paagal Hai", "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai" and "Kal Ho Naa Ho" built on that persona.

Post the success of these films he became the superhero and directors began to concentrate on his image, mannerisms and style. As a result, Shah Rukh never got enough chance to prove his versatility as one who could ably play unpredictable roles.

However, film critic Anumpama Chopra's recently released book "King of Bollywood: Shah Rukh Khan and the Seductive World of Indian Cinema" reveals that diverse roles give Shah Rukh creative satisfaction.

Which is quite true. The actor, who is often accused of playing safe and not working with untried directors, tried to be versatile in "Baazigar" and "Darr". They were anti-hero roles and nobody would have dared to touch them, but he managed to twist negative roles in his favour.

He has tried to play unconventional roles - in "Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani", as a journalist, in "Asoka", a historical, and "Devdas", as an alcoholic lover. But the films, though appreciated, didn't benefit him much.

But it was Ashotosh Gowariker's "Swades" which was the turning point in his career, which critics described as his coming of age. His performance as NASA scientist Mohan Bhargava didn't show a single trace of his iconic attitude. He immersed himself in his character and wowed both critics and fans.

And now the acceptance of his role in "Chak De! India" substantiates the fact that there is perhaps no one like Shah Rukh.

People can go on arguing whether Aamir Khan or Irrfan Khan or Amitabh Bachchan is a better actor than Shah Rukh, but the truth remains that the superstar is being accepted as the best and one shouldn't underestimate his potential.

Such is the performance of Shah Rukh as Kabir Khan that it will live with the audience for a long time.
