Shahrukh Khan to Build Sports Complex, theme parks, Stadiums and Luxury hotels In Debt Trapped Dubai !!

Posted by contributor001 in Bollywood, Celebrities, gossip 0 Comments Heard of the recent trap in the real Estate scene of Dubai? Well, there are several film stars and high profile men and women who have their money invested in the property of the up market arena which is real money playground for the rich and famous. However, even though the Dubai based company ‘Dubai World’ which is a government company, has asked for time to repay it’s debt of an astounding sum of $59 million which has all speculating on the fact that Emirates itself is going through rough times, ShahRukh has turned out to be the most sought after star there.

It has been reported from very reliable sources that ShahRukh has come into a joint venture with many high end emirates property developers to get a stadium built as part of one big entertainment complex in Dubai. As Dubai is going through very tough times due to recession which has resulted in the crash of the real estate market and a huge debt on the economy of the glamorous city, ShahRukh has come up with this concept along with other developers so that the economy might roll over to a high again.

ShahRukh is the unofficial brand Ambassador of the Dubai Tourism Development Company.

He is reported to have a hand in developing a $2.2 billion beach front residential complex at Ras Al Khaimas -an adjoining emirate called The ShahRukh Khan Boulevard.

Even though this particular residential project has been stalled for the time being, the Stadium is going to be built in a very fast and steady pace.

The project is called the Dubai Holding which is a state owned company. There are almost 45 projects to be included in it. There are theme parks, Stadiums and Luxury hotels. Even state of the art sports training facilities will be given to the weaker sections of society there.

There are plans to host international cricket matches at this venue and sources reveal that all his bollywood shows in Dubai will be staged there too.

If all goes well then there are plans by the actor to get a residential villa built in Ras Al Khaimah also. This he plans to get built just like his home in Mumbai.

According to sources this is going to be a mega budget project with an estimated expenditure of about 360 million Arab Emirates Dirham or Rs 455 crore.

Why there is no mention of "Zor Ka Jhatka" in the television host segment of SRK?

It has been more than a week that this program namely "Zor ka Jhatka", the hindi version of American "Wipe-out" has started being telecast in Imagine tv now starring Shah Rukh Khan as the host, who is reportedly the highest paid ever in the history of Indian tele history pocketing 2.5 crores per episode. But strange to see no mention of all these in Wikipedia, which is supposed to be the fasted to fetch such information. I request all my fellow editors to input some efforts. Otherwise I will take the help of one of my friends, who has the eligibility to edit un-editable pages like that of Shah Rukh Khan.. Thanks to all dears.. 117.192.40.97 (talk) 23:15, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Not very notable. He's been in countless shows of this sort. Shahid • ^Talk2me 11:06, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Some suggestions

In the Infobox, add this:

| nationality               = [[Indian people|Indian]]
| ethnicity                 = [[Pashtun people|Pashtun]]

just to make it more informative. A lot of other information can be added, and can be added at the discretion of the editors, fans and watchers of this article.

Also, he is an entrepreneur, which is a considerable part of his work and a large contributor to his fortune, and deserves treatment in the article.

This article provides a nice treatment of the entrepreneurial work Shahrukh Khan: http://www.businessworld.in/bw/2009_11_21_A_Star_As_A_Businessman.html

Edit request from Enriquezove, 30 April 2011

Please Change the picture of the Shahrukh Khan. That one is a old picture (Om Shanti Om is a history now) of the Shahrukh Khan, wherein he just looks as a Star. Put some new picture of him in which he looks what he is "An Actor, Entrepreneur, TV Host, Producer, Franchise Owner, etc;.

I have uploaded a image of him. You can find it here. taken on 22nd of March 2011, when he reopened his twitter account or the second one where he is delivering his speech after winning Filmfare Award for the "My Name is Khan" a movie which broke all oversea record for the Bollywood Movies. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/10/Srk.jpg or http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:SRK_Filmfare_2011.png

Even if you select another picture, please keep his look in mind. The current picture shows him as old. Enrique Zove 01:30, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

 Not done: The first picture is clearly a copy vio, as it can be found on a copyrighted page online at [1]. I'm almost 100% certain the other is also a copyvio, as it appears to be a screen capture of a television production. Just because you retrieved the file from a website or you captured it off of a streaming video does not make it "your work". The only pictures that may be used of living people are those that are "free" (i.e., in the public domain or that are CC-BY-SA licensed). Pretty much, this means you need to have taken the picture yourself, and then you need to make it clear that you are placing it in the public domain. Qwyrxian (talk) 06:09, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Controversy

In 2008 some intimate scenes of his with co-actor Deepa Sahi were leaked on internet from his 1993 movie Maya Meemsaab. These scenes resurfaced on the internet and gathered a lot of attention. The source of the leak could not be found.

Unfortunately, the link doesn't work. Without a good look at the source, it's hard to say whether or not it belongs in the article, because WP:BLP says we have to be very careful about using only the best sources and most neutral wording for contentious information about living people.

Cameo in Always Kabhi Kabhi

He has a short cameo in the song "Antanna" in "always kabhi kabhi", his home production witch is due on June 17th. It should be added to his filmography. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Meryam90 (talk • contribs) 14:31, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia should be fair and unbiased.

I see only his successful movies are being exaggerated here and the box office failures which bombed drastically are just sidelined in the mask of "did not do well at the box office" or "was not a box office success" or have no mention at all. For some strange reason I couldn't find the word "Flop" anywhere in the whole page for any of his movies. To name a few, heres a list of some of his biggest box office disasters which are actually termed as "FLOP" all over the world (even in Hollywood) but esp in Indian industry (or Bollywood as we call). In all a total of 32 flops (27 of in which he starred as lead role) goes to his credit.

• Chamatkar
• Dil Aashna Hai
• Maya Memsaab
• King Uncle
• Anjaam
• Zamana Deewana
• Guddu
• Oh Darling! Yeh Hai India!
• Ram Jaane
• Trimurti
• English Babu Desi Mem
• Chaahat
• Army
• Dushman Duniya Ka
• Gudgudee
• Koyla
• Duplicate
• Baadshah (was a flop and not an Average Grosser as stated)
• Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani (no mention at all of its box office failure and also being his first produced movie)
• Hey Ram
• One 2 Ka 4
• Asoka
• Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam (film was a delayed release but never did well at box office
• Yeh Lamhe Judaai Ke
• Kuch Meetha Ho Jaaye
• Paheli

Below are the films where his extended appearances also couldn't save the box office fate.

• Shakti: The Power
• Gaja Gamini
• Bhoothnath
• Billu
• Dulha Mil Gaya

His list of Average grossing movies.

• Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman (Average)
• Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa (Average)
• Dil Se (Average)
• Josh (was definitely an Average grosser and never a box office success as mentioned)
• Yes Boss (Average)
• Chalte Chalte (Average)
• Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (was only Average Grosser and not box office success as mentioned)

I am trying to understand that was it coined anywhere that the term "Flop" cannot/may not/should not be used for Sharukh Khan. I remember even legendary star Amitabh Bachhan have his list of Hit's and Flop's, so whats wrong in that.

Having said this, I would like to say that I neither a die hard fan of Sharukh nor do I hate him from the core of my heart. As an constant reader of Wiki which I believe is one of the major contributor to improve my knowledge and IQ, I am just being neutral and expect it to be fair by all means for everybody on earth. I understand being positive and focusing on same is better but then we prefer Wiki for its very neutral and info-as-it-is kinda articles. Otherwise this article is no different than most of the articles published by the various corrupt and biased News and Magazines publishing houses in India except that Wiki provides a detailed and organised informational data. --Maneesh2312 (talk) 07:23, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

Most of his films are mentioned, nothing is omitted, nothing to complain about. We are not going to mention films in which he had special appearances. Whether or not you are a fan or a hater does not matter. Shahid • ^Talk2me 07:52, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

Where are the Controversies?

Like any other celebrity, Sharukh Khan is no different from the world of Controversies. Currently he is among the most controversial actors in Bollywood but still there isn't a single word on the list of his controversies which is as follows.

• Crediting various Awards and Recognitions in his favor: Almost everybody in the film industry knows about Sharukh getting various Awards and recognitions to himself and in his favor. This was also mocked by the Indian actors Ritesh Deshmukh and Boman Irani on one of the award ceremonies in 2011 criticizing Sharukh, that he knows he'll get the Best Actor Award again in year 2012 for either RA.One or Don2. Lead actor Ajay Devgan had openly confessed that the awards are given to the attenders of the event as an honor to them for just attending the Ceremony night.

• Frequently supporting Pakistan and its Cricket Team for their selection in IPL 2011: Criticized and protested by Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackrey for supporting Pakistani players while knowing its (Pakistan's) involvement in 26/11 Terror Attacks in Mumbai. On contrary, even while Sharukh supported Pakistans Cricket Team selection for IPL 2011, he and his franchise KKR did not bid for a single Pakistani player during the auditions and thus escaped safely.

• Dropping Saurav Ganguly from KKR Team and as Captain: Self Explanatory. Entire nation knows about this.

• Constantly passing Witty and Rude comments to fellow actors and Colleagues: The famous split between Salman Khan and Sharukh Khan was due to one of his comments passed at Katrina's birthday bash causing a major rift between the two (once very close buddies) and is well known to everybody from and within industry.

• His never ending self claims of being No 1 and King of Bollywood: Now this too need not be explained as the whole world knows about it.

--Maneesh2312 (talk) 08:08, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

It was decided long ago that no constroversies would be added. Apart from that, most of what you have mentioned here is pure nonsense and gossip that do not even deserve to be discussed on message boards. Since when winning awads has been a controversy? He is widely known as King of Bollywood, what's constroversial about it? I don't think it's a title he gave to himself. Shahid • ^Talk2me 09:00, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

Maneesh2312, your last message has been reverted because it goes in violation of WP:NPA. I am not going to take kindly to that, sorry. Anyway, if you have anything else to add or say, then please provide reliable sources to prove your claims. Thanks, Shahid • ^Talk2me 10:45, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

Alright, Sorry if you took it very personally but I meant no offense here and no hard feelings. But FYI, Salman Khan has section "Controversies" in his profile. Now as per your message, "It was decided long ago that no controversies would be added.", either one should remove the section entirely or add in other pages as well as the rule should be the same for one and all. Do you agree with me this time at least. Maneesh2312 (talk) 11:03, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

There's a difference between Salman Khan and Shahrukh Khan. Salman has been the subject of major controversies involving him. Shahrukh Khan has not, he's just been the subject of some really inconsequential incidents. The things you mentioned above are, as I said, pure gossip and nothing more. I also now understand where it comes from, but anyway. You better cite your suggestions. I for one never saw Mr. Khan calling himself the king or something. It's the media who does. Shahid • ^Talk2me 11:10, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

OK. Agree with you that its the Media who does it often, calling and making him the "King of Bollywood" and going literally by word even I cannot prove SRK himself calling King. So lets forget about my points 1,3,4 and 5. But Point 2 was one of the major controversies surrounding him in the year 2010 for which Shiv Sena activists created a mayhem in the city of Mumbai stopping the release of MNIK. And this is not just a gossip, this was a National News all over the Nation for many days in almost all leading News papers and News channels. You still think this shouldn't be included in his profile. Wiki is not here to create and find differences between Salman and Sharukh. I still strongly feel Wiki, as an encyclopedia, should just state the matter as it is and should not have its own views about any person or organization.

This article is an encyclopedia entry for all intents and purposes. Unless something has a major connection to his biography, it should not be mentioned. As I said, this is one of many incidents involving Khan. I personally see no reason to have it here. Shahid • ^Talk2me 12:39, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
