King Khan to play Awadh King

King Khan will again be seen in a historical character. After essaying the role of emperor Asoka in his film, 'Asoka’, Shahrukh Khan has been approached to play Awadh king. Paris-based Indian filmmaker Vijay Singh is keen to make the film with Shahrukh Khan and according to reports; King Khan has already given his nod to play the role. It is a love story between Nawab of Awadh Naseeruddin Haidar and a British girl.
In an interview, Vijay Singh said, “I had a meeting with Shahrukh regarding this film and he liked the script. So, I am going to approach him to essay the role of Nawab, who was the ruler of Awadh from 1826-36. The Nawab was fond of a British girl but their love was not in favor of the opium traders at that time.”
Director Vijay Singh, the man behind ‘One Dollar Curry’ and ‘Jaya Ganga’  feels Shahrukh Khan the right choice for the role of Awadh king.

Shahrukh Khan: Got a tagline for RA.ONE’? Tell SRK!

Shahrukh Khan, the ultimate name in bollywood, is on real tender hooks these days!
Reportedly, the star is on the verge of releasing the first poster of his home production ‘RA.ONE’, and has no clue what tagline should be added to the poster.
Thus, as is the latest trend, SRK too has gone the Karan Johar way- He has asked his fans to help him out with the right tagline for the first poster of ‘RA. ONE’ and he tweeted about it on his twitter page.
Shahrukh Khan wrote “G.ONE, is made of solid electricity…he has come in the real world from a virtual one to fight against ‘RA.ONE the evil force.”
He further explained who G.ONE exactly is. Thus, he wrote “ He is the good one…that’s why for short….his name is G.ONE…which also stands for life in Hindi”.( actually Jeevan in Hindi means Life)
After this, SRK requested his fans to help him out, he wrote …” Please help me and give me a kick ass line for G.ONE the good guy….. It should be the tagline for the first poster I release”.
So, if any of you smart thinkers can come up with a suggestion, go ahead- tell SRK, maybe, just maybe, this is your chance to get instant fame, you never know!! So Thinnnnnnkkk!!
