A Goat Named 'Shahrukh Khan' in Bakrapur

Shahurkh Khan

Unlike Anurag Kashyap’s more elaborate ode to Amitabh Bachchan by making a short film on him in Bombay Talkies, actor-filmmaker Makarand Deshpande paid a more unique tribute to King Khan. In Deshpande’s National Award winning satire Bakrapur, the pivotal character is of a goat named Shah Rukh.

Filmmaker Janaki Vishwanathan wanted to study the trend in rural India to name their pets after popular stars. While the film was mainly a comedy, it revolves around a sensitive story of a little boy and his pet goat.

Explaining why Janaki wanted Shah Rukh, she emphasized that after hunting for the best goats in the village, they found the most handsome one of all called Shah Rukh. The name itself means Emperor faced. Janaki herself is rest assured that Shah Rukh would not take any offense to the film as he has a vast and quirky sense of humor, and frequently cracks self depreciating jokes.

Interestingly, earlier Deshpande had also made a film on SRK named Shahrukh Bola Khubsurat Hai Tu, which unfortunately failed to impress many people.

King Khan meet Munna Bhai at his Residence

King Khan, like his arch rival Salman Khan, has always been the best of friends with Sanjay Dutt. And our feathered friend from Bandra tells us that Baadshah Khan arrived late last night at Dutt’s residence to pacify the actor.

It was quite an emotional moment when SRK expressed his concern for the Policegiri star and had a talk with him as well as his wife Manyata Dutt. It’s learnt that Shahrukh stayed at Sanju’s place for a couple of hours and the two had an intense and emotional conversation.

Dutt has been sentenced to five years imprisonment by the Supreme Court for illegal possession of arms in the 1993 Mumbai bomb blasts case and many celebrities have visited him ever since. Sanjay has already filed a review petition but it’s quite unlikely that he will be able to get out of the legal mess any time soon.

Meanwhile, the actor is working round the clock to complete his movie assignments before he surrenders himself in a couple of days.
