By staking his claim at the overseas territory for Don (worth Rs 12 crore), Shah Rukh Khan has become the highest paid actor in Bollywood.
'Don' and Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna are the most eagerly awaited films of the year. Having spent most part of this year traveling all over the world, SRK is settling down in the rain-n-media-squelch of Mumbai.
His last film Paheli may have been a failure at the box-office, but with
'Don' and Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna the second half of 2006 is undoubtedly going to belong to the King Khan.
Talking to a prominent website, SRK rubbished reports of his alleged fallout with his childhood icon Amitabh Bachchan and stated that how can he even think of having differences with Big B as no one can come close to him.
As for his discomfiture with the growing popularity of Abhishek Bachchan , SRK said that he missed the Junior B when he had to go back to India during the shooting of Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna.
In spite of both Abhishek and Hrithik Roshan being much younger to him, he still considers them as 'good friends'.
On his 'differences' with the mercurial Ram Gopal Varma who recently shelved Time Machine where both were coming together for the first time, SRK cleared the air by saying that at any given time he receives 10 – 12 offers, out of which he rejects 10 and accepts only two. And 'Time Machine' is one of those ten that he refused as it was not measuring up to the mark.
It was said that SRK was incensed with RGV for making fun of Karan Johar 's films (RGV had stated in an interview that Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Ghum was his favourite horror film) and for also stating that working with SRK will be like going back to school insinuating about Khan's limited vocabulary as an actor.
But the diplomat that he is, SRK is still saying that the SMS he sent to Ramu was: "We shall tell another story some other time".
So look forward to SRK rocking the Box Office in the later half of an year that is proving to be the best ever year from business perspective of Bollywood.
