SRK Turns Poetic

Here's some more on Shah Rukh Khan. The man has been known to be there for his friends when they need him. He did it again recently for another friend of his, Samar Khan, the director of Shaurya.

SRK is believed to have agreed to recite some poetry for his forth coming film, Shaurya. According to Samar, he wanted his film's writer Jaideep Sarkar to pen a poem that describes the film's mood. He came up with Shaurya Kya Hai? The lines were tremendous and Samar then wanted a voice and a presence that could do justice to those lines and be accessible to every person in the audience. Samar is believed to have flown down to Goa to speak to SRK about the poem. The actor agreed immediately and wanted to record the poem in his laptop. Incidentally, SRK had made a special appearance as himself in Samar's earlier film, Kuch Meetha Ho Jaye. Besides Samar, SRK has also helped put friends like Viveck Vaswani (he is doing a special appearance in his Dulha Mil Gaya), and Khalid Mohammed (he was the narrator in Silsilay). The buzz is that Shaurya is inspired by Rob Reiner's 1992 court-martial drama, A Few Good Men, starring Tom Crusie, Demi Moore and Jack Nicholson. But Samar shrugs off that charge and says that his film is based on a court-martial of a man being charged with war crimes but it is not the same as A Few Good Men. The poem by SRK is expected to be part of Shaurya's soundtrack. The film's cast includes, Rahul Bose, Deepak Dobriyal and Seema Biswas.
