Hi, Shahrukh's new movie "My name is Khan " is on the verge of release . At this time the superstar gets detained at the an American airport b'coz of his surname. Surprises me a little . Want to know your opinions whether it is a publicity stunt for the film or something else. Let me know, Shravanicool:thumbsup
Shravani, Please read this. I think this is very well written. Very true for people who take films tars to be demi-gods. What the @#$% if he is a superstar for the person doing his duty at the airport? Don?t make a big deal of Shah Rukh?s detention:One For The Road:Anand Soondas's blog-The Times Of India Adara
SRK is coming to the USA many many times for lots of years. This is going to show on his passport. No problem up to now. Anyone can trigger problems for themselves in security by making comments if they want problems. I don't know what really happened but my guess its a publicity stunt. Things are pretty cool now and routine in security at airports. I do think it is not a good thing to perpetrate the any sort of divisive situation and especially making out USA to be other than it is. My Muslim friends here lead very normal uneventful lives with lots of American friends.
my opinion its not a big issue, the authorities are doing their own from stars to normal people.some say itz merely a publicitity for his movie:my name is khan"
If it was any other actor in the world, then I would have taken it as a publicity stunt. But I don't think people like Shahrukh, Amitabh and Sachin Tendulkar need any more publicity then they already get. As far as his movie is concerned, then don't you think it would have made much sense if it was done near its release. Because right now, My name is khan is at least 5 months away.
But what good does a detention at US airport publicity create? I think they have better marketing techniques for the film. Don't they? I don't think people will really go and watch his movie just because he was in the news recently. People who like to watch this movie are going to be his audience.. nothing else matters. May be this news was blown out of proportion because it was shahrukh. but i don't feel it being used for publicity
:notthatway: you are wrong... the movie is not on the verge of release. In fact its shooting has just completed few days ago. It was not a publicity stunt and I totally agree Shahana. Shahrukh doesn't need to do all this to create publicity. The man comes in his balcony and 100 people gather on the road in 2 minutes. One day, you will say that Sachin Tendulkar is going publicity stunt by hitting centuries... Think before you speak :rant:rant
I agree with you.... It was not a publicity stunt because Shahrukh doesn't seem like a guy who would do such a thing. I think he just shared what happened to him with the media and they blew it out of proportion.
