A movie will be made on the life of Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan , who, by the way, is more famous than Hollywood's Tom Cruise.
With the exception of Amitabh Bachchan perhaps, no other Bollywood star has reached such heights of fame as SRK has. He is arguably the most adored film star in Asia, with a fan base stretching from Malaysia to the Middle East.
It is quite befitting that Madame Tussaud's museum in London has decided to have a wax statue of Shah Rukh in the museum. SRK is the third Bollywood celebrity to have received the honor after Amitabh Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai .
But now, reports have it that apart from the statue, the museum has shown interest in commissioning a biographic film on the life of Shah Rukh Khan.
The movie will be a 50-minute long tale of the superstar's life, right from his childhood, his youth to his struggle in Bollywood and his eventual rise to fame. The film will end with the unveiling of the SRK statue in Madame Tussauds.
Reports have it that Bobby Khan has been approached to direct the movie.
The film is likely to include Shah Rukh's friends: Karan Johar , Farah Khan , Juhi Chawla and Rani Mukherjee .
