SHAH RUKH KHAN DOCUMENTARIES ON DVD!
Eros International
recently announced the DVD release of two highly anticipated documentaries
on Bollywood’s biggest star, Shah Rukh Khan, by the acclaimed
London based filmmaker Nasreen Munni Kabir. The two facets of Shah Rukh,
the inner being and the outer persona, are the subjects of “The
Inner World of Shah Rukh Khan” and “The Outer World of Shah
Rukh Khan” respectively. As the filmmaker herself says, the first
documentary deals with Shah Rukh’s personal life whilst the second
deals with his relationship with his fans.
Nasreen Munni Kabir
is one of the most prolific chroniclers of contemporary Hindi cinema
and has created nearly 100 documentaries and books on the subject. She
has covered some of the biggest personalities and subjects including
Lata Mangeshkar, Dev Anand, Javed Akhtar and perhaps most famously Amitabh
Bachchan with the film “Follow the Star” in 1989. She also
runs her own production company, Hyphen films, and as such was perfectly
positioned to create the definitive programme on Shah Rukh Khan.
Shah Rukh Khan himself
needs little introduction – the biggest box office draw working
in Bollywood today and a true international superstar, Shah Rukh has
starred in over 60 movies since breaking into film in 1989 including
many of the biggest hits of the last few years including Devdas, Chalte
Chalte, Main Hoon Na, Veer-Zaara and Paheli. More recently he has set
up his own production company, Red Chillies, which has produced hits
such as Chalte Chalte, Main Hoon Na and Paheli. He is also a consummate
stage performer whose shows sell out all over the world. However few
have access to the man behind the star. But with Kabir being granted
that very privilege, “Inner World” catalogues his daily
life over seven days on the sets of Main Hoon Na in India in 2004 and
“Outer World” is filmed around the 2004 Temptations live
concerts in Sri Lanka and the USA, showing the almost hysterical nature
of his legions of fans. In tandem, Kabir’s films present a truly
unique perspective and never before seen footage of a global icon.
The two films will
be offered together as a unique digi- pack double disc - further details
