Recently Shahrukh Khan introduced his cricket team Kolkatta Knight Riders for the Indian Premier League. Even though it was a cricketing event but with the presence of so many Bollywood personalities made it look like a filmi event. It had the entertainment value that could be compared to the release of some new music album or the Mahorat of some new project.

There were players of his cricket team like Sauvra Ganguly, Ishant Sharma, Akash Chopra and

Murali Karthik. Also present at the occasion was Gauri Khan, Sanjay Kapoor, Jai Mehta and Juhi Chawla. Shahrukh Khan presented his team’s anthem ‘Korbo Lorbo Jeetro Be’ composed by Vishal-Shekhar. To add more entertainment value and press coverage for the event Shahrukh Khan also made comments about Aamir Khan.

Recently, Aamir threw a direct question to Shahrukh Khan to explain who is the real number one right now. Aamir is flying in heavenly skies since the blockbuster “Tare Zameen per” which he directed and played a small role in it. Shahrukh was asked by journalists to say something about this and he said:

Aamir is a dear friend and if he says that I’m second to him then it’s a great compliment to him….oops that was a genuine slip of tongue (amidst peals of laughter)…I mean it’s a great compliment to me. We are complete opposites. He is an intelligent, intellectual person, I’m more physical. I do things. He thinks them out. I know his jokes, he knows mine. He is 100% No. 1…I just said Kkkk Kiran…he really loves Kkkkk Kiran

My wife has warned me if I say anything about Aamir she’ll beat me up. She is an Aamir Khan fan.

There’s Aamir, then there’s me and then there’s Chengez Khan I guess…that keeps changing….I’m proud of having learnt a lot from Aamir. One of my biggest desires in life is to do a film with Aamir and learn a lot from him. We should not belittle the importance of Aamir Khan by comparing with someone like me. He is a standalone, one of the nicest gentleman and actor in the country.

Shahrukh is quite right about the two stars doing a movie together. Aamir Khan should really think about doing a movie where he can hire Shahrukh Khan. Or may be Aamir is just a bit afraid that Shahrukh would take away all the glory and credit for such a movie. Just like Aamir Khan did in Raj Kumar Santoshi’s cult classic ‘Andaz Apna Apna’ where he completely overshadowed Salman Khan with his superior acting skills.
