Présentation de l'éditeur :
world of films in India - with a career spanning over twelve years.
Shiekh has over the years built close friendships within the film community
and has come to regard several colleagues as an extended family. One such
valued member is Shah Rukh Khan. The close proximity with Shah Rukh's world
and the firm ties of friendships and as a fellow traveler for a good part
of both their lives, led to destiny choosing him to be the one who would
chronicle the story of Shah Rukh Khan's journey.
There's always been a patriarch for every field. He leads, people follow.
He takes new paths -- praised if he's successful, derided if he fails. But
then somebody has to do the job. Somebody has to invent for the others to
reinvent. Somebody has to stand up for our fifty six year old philosophy --
for the people, by the people, to the people. Shah Rukh Khan did just that.
He invades areas where no actor has ever been.
Shah Rukh Khan had stepped into the film world as an outsider, a young man
bereaved from the loss of his parents, seeking solace, work and passion in
an alien world. Today, this outsider is the most familiar member in every
fan's household. This book is therefore also the tale of a journey that led
from a suburban housing colony in New Delhi into the homes, hearts and
minds of innumerable fans all over the world, a journey that transcended
boundaries of nations, and the artificial barriers of culture.
The book is the story of a survivor, a winner, a never-ending story of
success...
Shah Rukh Khan has reached a level of hero worship attained by few actors in history. The biggest Bollywood star in the world, he is adored by millions of cinema-goers in India and all over the globe. Every film he graces is a surefire smash, every product he endorses is a bestseller, and there are so many shrines to him across India that he could launch a new religion. And hes almost as popular overseas: the 2002 historical romance Devdas took in twice as much abroad as in India. In fact, with Bollywoods global audience running to 3.6 billion against Hollywoods 2.6 billion, Khan is in terms of recognition the worlds biggest movie star. This lavish, large-format book is the ultimate look at his life, career and philosophy.

From the Author's Note Shah Rukh Khan is not a superstar because of his looks or because he is the best actor we have or even because of the energy he has of a treadmill. Shah Rukh is a superstar because of his great connectivity. He becomes a member of your family. People don't go to see a Shah Rukh Khan film to watch a star perform they go to see a family member succeed. He has the knack of making you feel that he lives with that he is just an arm's length away. And he connects in the same way with a million people all over the world. I don't think he even knows how that happened. I don't think he really worked towards it because you can never work towards something like this. His stardom has to do with the fact that he becomes a part of you. There is a difference between awe and love. And he evokes love not awe. That's what makes him the mega star that he is. I met the man almost eleven years ago when I was a cub reporter from G magazine. I don't really know when a mere acquaintance turned into friendship and when friendship turned into a special bond. But he has always been there for me and that's what really matters. Dates have no value with this man because Shah Rukh comes with no expiry date. Anyone who has encountered this phenomenon called Shah Rukh will vouch for that. This book is my journey with the man. Call it a travelogue call it arresting happiness in pages call it an attempt to catch times passed. Call it anything you wish. I am still trying to give it a name. He's watchable because he's fantastic. He's endearing because he delivers. Every time people meet Shah Rukh thy say Kitna dubla ho gaya hai. That's because his aura on screen is almost magical. He's such a big movie man he's a big screen guy. You can't take that away from him. All five foot nine inches of him with scruffy hair is the biggest widest Mount Everest you'll ever see on screen. Looking at him on screen and off screen you realise how he just absorbs every bit of space celluloid has to offer. When writing about a man like this you start to wonder who the real Shah Rukh Khan is. Is he the the one who spends two hours in the loo because he likes his own space. Is he the one who likes toys more than his own son or the one who says I'll be back in five minutes and returns five days later. Or is he the man who when guests come to his house spends more time dropping them to the door than greeting them in. Does the real Shah Rukh expose his soul when he plays with his dogs his kids or talks to his wife. Or will you find him in the actor who'd rather his film flops as long as he does not lose in his game of Pictionary. Does the real Shah Rukh want to own so much space because he felt the lack of it all through his childhood or is his inherent need not to make a home for his family but a castle because family is all he actually has. I found so many Shah Rukh and lost so many in this process or reading him. An everlasting dichotomy this man never stopped to amaze me in my travel with him. By far he is both the most selfless and selfish man I have ever met in my life. Whatever your claim on this man one thing is for sure In the pages that you are going to turn you are in good company. 452 pp. N° de réf. du vendeur 61799
