Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan feels any movie made on tennis star Sania Mirza will be inspiring and he may like to produce it.
"Whenever there is a movie made on Sania, I think it will be very inspiring and it will be fantastic," Khan told reporters here last evening after formally launching Sania's autobiography, titled Ace Against Odds.
"And I don't know... ask her if she will let me play her love interest. But, I will produce it for sure," he said in a lighter vein.
Shah Rukh also expressed hope that Indian sports films will soon be able to make a mark on international platform.
"Someway down the line when sportswomen and sportsmen films are made we feel extremely patriotic also from whichever part of the world they are made. When it's an Indian sportsperson you will feel for the country," he noted.
"We have a country somehow perhaps apart from a few sports, we have never made a mark internationally. Inshah Allah...that will happen very soon...as things are progressing," Shah Rukh said.
He said Sania's book will be quite inspirational. "I think the book like this will obviously inspire a lot of us. Nothing can come in the way and there can be no obstacles when you have determination. I genuinely believe this. I have always followed her (Sania's) career and she has brought so much freshness and so much beauty to all the sports lovers like me," the 50-year-old actor said.
Appreciating Sania's grit, determination and love for the sport to rise to the top ranking in doubles game despite her injury, he said, "She (Sania) had an injury and she could not continue with the singles career but she twisted it around and she became the No.1 in doubles."
"All this stuff means she is not giving up the love for sports...and that connects me to great sportsperson like Sania and every time Sania loses somewhere...she represents our country...I think all of us lose a little bit," Shah Rukh said.
"We all will take away something fantastic from this book...we all will have some learning lesson. Her experiences are very vital and to understand how you fight against things which are going against you," he said, adding that she's just truly absolutely inspiring and there should also be a part-two of this book.
Shiney Ahuja miffed over maid named ‘Shiney’ in Great Grand Masti, serves legal notice
Shiney Ahuja has served a legal notice to Balaji Motion Pictures and Ekta Kapoor, over its movie Great Grand Masti.
It is said that Bollywood's best-known public relations consultant Dale Bhagwagar does not smell controversy, he spells it. But right now, the PR guru finds himself sandwiched between not two, three, but five of his earlier clients -- Shiney Ahuja, Sonali Raut, Vivek Oberoi, Sambhavna Seth and Rahul Mahajan.
Dale has looked after the media for Shiney during Life In A... Metro, and stood by him after his rape case controversy. He also handled the press for Sonali Raut during Bigg Boss. But latest reports reveal that Sonali is playing a maid called "Shiney" in Great Grand Masti releasing next week. Ouch!
She stars in the Indra Kumar directed film along with Ritesh Deshmukh, Aftab Shivdasani and Vivek Oberoi, the latter being another controversial name whose media affairs have been handled by Dale, post the controversies surrounding Salman Khan. Buzz goes that all three, Ritesh, Aftab and Vivek hit on "Shiney" (the maid, of course) in the movie.
In another instance, two of Dale's clients of Bigg Boss, Sambhavna Seth and Rahul Mahajan, are at loggerheads this week. Sambhavna who is all set to marry her long-time boyfriend Avinash Dwivedi in Delhi, does not seem to be on talking terms with her rakhi brother Rahul. In an interview Sambhavna has stated, "I haven't invited Rahul Mahajan for my wedding and don't want him to be there."
Puff. Where does that leave Dale Bhagwagar? "Nowhere," is all the publicist replied to our query. Lol. For once Dale is not giving us his typical smart alec answers! Unless he believes in that snappy answer being smart PR.
