Shahrukh Khan's IPL 2014 Surprise: SRK to Reveal First Trailer of Upcoming Film Happy New Year?

Trust Shahrukh Khan to come up with the most outstanding ideas to market his films. Khan who is considered a marketing whiz when it comes to promoting his films might be using the ultimate platform to launch the first trailer of his upcoming movie, Happy New Year.

The Indian Premiere League (IPL) is known to combine two of India's biggest passions – cricket and Bollywood and Khan who is the co-owner of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) has chosen to unveil the teaser of his eagerly-awaited film Happy New Year during the first IPL match between Mumbai Indians and KKR on April 16, according to Zoom.

SRK is infamous for using cricket matches as a major platform to promote his films - something that even landed him in trouble in the past.

In 2007, Khan declared that he will not watch cricket matches in the stadium in future, after some BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) officials claimed that the actor was only interested in promoting his film, Om Shanti Om.

However things have changed since then as SRK went on to strengthen his bond with cricket through IPL.

Even during IPL 2013, the actor was seen attending matches along with his Chennai Express co-star Deepika Padukone. The move was again reported to be a promotional gimmick by Khan for his film.

What SRK is doing can simply be termed as a form of 'Product Integration.' After all, it is his company Red Chillies Entertainment that co-owns KKR and produces all his films.

It remains to be seen whether the unveiling of SRK's Happy New Year teaser causes any backlash this time.

Along with Khan, Happy New Year stars Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan and Boman Irani in key roles. The film is directed by Farah Khan.

Shah Rukh Khan asks fans to vote: If you want a happy country, go out and vote

Superstar Shah Rukh Khan has asked his fans to go out and vote in large numbers during this Lok Sabha elections if they want to live in a 'happy country'. The Lok Sabha elections this year are being held in nine phases- from April 7 to May 12.

"We want to live in a happy country. After watching things on TV and reading about people, I think they are intelligent enough to make up their mind on who to vote and who not to," the 48-year-old actor said during an event here.

Yesterday Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav and leader Abu Azmi, who is actress Ayesha Takia's father-in-law, created a furore amongst the public with their comment on rape.

Reacting to their statements, Shah Rukh said, "Our country is going through elections. I think during the
elections a lot of people say a lot of things… Whatever small, little knowledge that I have about these things I can only ask people to go out and vote for people who you would like to see as your leader."

The actor is currently shooting for Farah Khan's 'Happy New Year', and he says the round-the-clock schedule will prohibit him from attending this year's India International Film Awards (IIFA) to be held in Tampa Bay, US.

"I am shooting all seven days a week for 'Happy New Year'. I won't get the time to go to IIFA this year. But I think others from the film may go for the award show," Shah Rukh said.

'Happy New Year' also stars Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Boman Irani and Sonu Sood. The film is expected to hit theatres on October 23 this year.

SRK beats Salman to be the richest Bollywood celeb!

​​

He's the badshah of Bollywood and rightly so. Apart from his long standing career in the Hindi film industry, his personal life, his controversies, there's another reason why SRK stands out from the crowd. The actor has made it to the Forbes India Celebrity 100 list and there's no guesses for this one! King Khan dominated the list, capturing the Numero Uno position. As of December 31st, the actor makes 220.5 Crore through films and his many endorsements. SRK's last release Chennai Express broke all records at the Box Office and was one of the highest earners of 2013. According to the Forbes list, Shahrukh's revenue is up by 9% this year although he lost out on a few brand endorsements. There's no doubt that Shahrukh Khan is second to none!
