Kerala News: Bollywood actor Shahrukh Khan arrived at the hill station Munnar in Kerala's Western Khats for the shoot of €˜Chennai Express€™ on Saturday.
Immediately after the arrival he left for Devikulam lake for the shoot. Khan reached Kochi airport by 11 am and travelled to Munnar by road. Deepika Padukone, who is doing the lead role, had completed her shoot earlier in the day. The romance comedy is directed by Rohit Shetty and produced by Gauri Khan under the production house Red Chillies Entertainment. The film is being shot at locations like Devikulam Lake, Meeshapulimala, Wagavara and Kannimala.
Khan has a ten-day schedule at the hill station. The superstar was scheduled to arrive on Friday but changed plans due to his engagement with IPL, as he is the co-owner of Kolkata Knight Riders, a major team in the league.
Kerala was all set to ring in Vishu (Malayalam New Year) with none other than Bollywood Badshah Shah Rukh Khan.
The superstar landed at the Nedumbassery airport on the outskirts of Kochi on Saturday. He will be shooting in Munnar for Rohit Shetty's Chennai Express in the coming days.
"The actor, who landed in a chartered flight by around 7.30 am, halted in Kochi for a while before travelling to the picturesque hill station by road. He reached Munnar at 11.30 am and went straight to a resort," said a source and further added that SRK will be in Munnar for two more days as part of the shoot.
"The superstar's presence during the festival season in the state will be yet another reason to celebrate for all his fans in Kerala. However, the shooting location has not been disclosed to anyone. As soon as the news of SRK's Munnar visit was out, the roads leading to the hill station were jam-packed, with people waiting for a glimpse of their favourite star," says the source.
Chennai Express, produced by the actor's wife Gauri Khan, features Deepika Padukone opposite him.
Ever since the schedule of Chennai Express commenced in Wai, sources say Shah Rukh Khan had almost set up his home and office in the quaint village. The actor had moved bag and baggage to Wai, just outside Panchgani to concentrate on his film that clashes on Eid with Akshay Kumar€™s upcoming gangster film.
And not just the film, SRK had also been shooting for all his upcoming brand endorsements in Wai.
A source says, €œSRK stayed put in Wai to leave no stone unturned in making Chennai Express as big as it gets. He was also getting his other work done sitting there. In the past one month, he had shot for five ads there, including a tea and automobile brand. The people behind the brands had to fly down to Wai to get their work done.€
A source close to the star says that SRK€™s focus right now is solely resting on his upcoming film helmed by Rohit Shetty. €œHe is a perfectionist and considering it€™s an Eid release, he is juggling time between the film, his commercials and his other work commitments.€
Sources add that while 80 per cent of the shoot is complete, the last schedule of the film has just moved to Kerala.
