Anupama Chopra – wife of filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra, is ready to release her biography “ King of Bollywood – Shahrukh Khan” on the 9^th of September.

It has taken her 4 years to write the biography. When she started writing, she approached Shahrukh Khan about it – at first he felt his life did not warrant writing about and he was already halfway through an autobiography. Later he promised Anupama that he would wait for her book to be completed before he would release his autobiography.

He was unaware that it would take Anupama 4 years to complete her book, but he kept his promise all the same. Her book will be the first Indian book to be released by an American publishing channel – Grant Central Publishing.

Anupama has known Shahrukh since she first interviewed him for Yes Boss in 1996.Though she does not know him intimately, she feels that he has definitely become more calm and mellow now, but he is as energetic as always.

The book is about a middle class Muslim lad from Delhi, who takes the Bombay film industry by storm and goes on to become a super star. She follows his career in the Bollywood film industry, where, you have dreams, obsessions, spotlights, jealousies, extortion and corruption.

Shahrukh has skimmed through her book, just so that it did not overlap with his own autobiography. He was very happy with her work.

Unbeaten Dedication

While on Shahrukh Khan, it bears mention that very few actors are as dedicated to a role as him.

He takes his roles very seriously, and works hard to achieve the right effect. His role in Farah Khan’s Om Shanti Om requires a chiseled look, and to achieve this he is working out.

In fact he has bought an expensive fitness machine worth over 3 lakhs called The Power Plate. Though this machine has not yet been launched in India – The authorities made an exception for Shahrukh and saw that it was shipped out for him ASAP.

Prashant – his fitness trainer – is all praise for Shahrukh’s zeal and dedication for training.
