Wow so many business ventures. That's a pretty good way of making profits when he no longer is the leading hero

But totally disagree with the whole Hollywood taking over India in ten years. Yeah Nolan and Cameron make great films but not of all Hollywood are like them. People will always have a taste for Indian filmmakers too...as long as they deliver.

I don't agree with him there either. I think people have an attachment to Bollywood and will continue to have it. Yeah Hollywood has better production values, their good films are probably better too, but I don't see BW totally going out of fashion. But still, there is no harm in trying to improve production values in BW and improving technology either, though SRK is particularly obsessive about this. I've heard him say this same thing quite a few times now. It's actually very much like him...he always had this crazy ambition to do things on par with the rest of the world, if not better and bigger.. aim big..he always has, & that's probably why his failures are bigger too (Ra.One).

In some ways, I guess kinda get what he means too. HW is expanding ..their films already release earlier in India than US now and make good profits. But still, BW isn't about to become non-important anytime soon. 😆

Bollywood isnt going anywhere and isnt necessary we ape them (hollywood).. Bolly has its own uniqueness esp songs and dances and what sets us apart!!

Yeah businesswise he's surprisingly innovative. He has some great, and yet ambitious, ideas that could really make a large impact. Too bad he doesnt have the same acumen for his movies lol

^Yeah he has ambitious ideas in terms of VFX (we've all seen how far technology has taken Hollywood). But at the same, to make sure Indian cinema doesn't go "extinct" as he thinks it will, it would be a good idea to help out the youngsters/new folks with good ideas...work with them, promote them since THEY are the future of Bollywood. Also, focus on better movies as well. If you keep offering good content, people will stick around and watch always. They will only get truly bored and move on if the films themselves aren't worth watching...not just because Hollywood has better technology. ...but then SRK never seemed to be big on this part. He's a tech freak.

He is obsessed with RCE and fully focused on his strategies towards achieving his objectives towards his company. This reminds me of former CEO of the company I work at present. He had the same passion as SRK did and eventually he got a dream deal with a leading Malaysian company and left Colombo and us :(

Anyways I'm spell bound by the businessman within SRK. He dreams big and stretches boundaries
