Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan flew down especially from South Africa to cast his vote and said ‘we should vote and give a chance to better people’.
‘When I endorse everything from candy to soft drinks, this is something I have to support,’ Shah Rukh Khan on Thursday told reporters outside the polling station here.
‘I had to make it a point to come and vote,’ said Shah Rukh Khan who was in South Africa for the Indian Premier League (IPL) cricket matches.
He said the voters should choose the best-qualified candidates and be patient for change.
‘People expect politicians to solve problems immediately. But it’s not that easy. It takes time. That’s why we should vote and give a chance to better people,’ he said on the day Mumbai and the adjacent district of Thane went to the polls, in the third and final round of balloting in Maharashtra.
Shah Rukh Khan, who owns the Kolkata Knight Riders team in the IPL, is reportedly unhappy with the performance of team and is believed to have said that he would not return to South Africa till the team started winning.
A family court here on Thursday annulled the marriage of Tamil film star Prashant and his polyandrous wife and granted custody of their daughter to the latter.
A family court annulled the marriage between Prashant and his estranged wife Gruhalakshmi following allegations of polyandry on her part.
The court, however, turned down a plea from Prashant for custody of their child saying the actor had no locus standi to seek the offspring from a marriage that has been annulled.
Gruhalakshmi had sued for divorce alleging dowry harassment.
Actor Prashant had wed Gruhalakshmi amidst great fanfare in 2005. The divorce petition began soon during the pregnancy on charges of dowry harassment.
Prashant denied the charges saying his in-laws were attempting to hide their daughter’s earlier marriage.
Meanwhile, a divorce petition filed by another man whose 1998 marriage with Gruhalakshmi has been established in court is pending.
In a career spanning over 18 years, Prashant has been featured as a leading man in 40 films so far that include “Jeans” (1998) an Indian entry to the Oscars in which his female co-star was Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
Multilingual actor Prakash Raj says he has been offered the role of LTTE chief Vellupillai Prabhakaran in a Tamil film and that he will be doing it.
“I would like to perform the role according to the dictates of the script and requirement of the director. I will not do any homework or prepare for this role in details as I think spontaneity will provide better results than anything,” said the actor at an interactive session organised by the Karnataka Film Journalists Association.
But he refused to reveal the name of the director and producer of the proposed film.
This is not the first time that Prakash Raj is playing a real life character. He has won three National Awards and 18 state awards for his high voltage performances as young M. Karunanidhi, DMK president and the current Tamil Nadu chief minister, in Mani Ratnam’s “Iruvar” and faction leader Rayalaseema in director Krishna Vamshi’s “Anthapuram”.
“Acting career is like a journey to me. Acting has been a process of learning to me. You learn many things while interacting with many people. I think any actor will gain confidence and maturity with experience. Working with different directors and the best of the actors make you determined to give the best shot,” he said.
Prakash Raj also worked with Bollywood megastar Amithabh Bachchan in two Hindi films – “Khakee” and “Zamanat” and is all praise for him.
“He is truly a legend. He is extremely patient. He used to call me ‘Kalaakar’ and I enjoyed working with him. Despite his stature, he doesn’t question the decision of a director. I saw him agreeing for the eighth take for director Raj Kumar Santhoshi while shooting for ‘Khakee’. I was really impressed with his professionalism,” he said.
The actor also produces films in Tamil and is known for making quality films like recently released and much appreciated “Abhiyum Naanun”.
His film “Mozhi” won many awards and was also a box office success.
“I have made ten Tamil films so far. I would like to take up projects which have a good story. I want to encourage younger talents who want to prove their mettle with their stronger scripts with novelty elements. I’m happy that young directors like Priya, Guhan and Radha Mohan are established names today,” said Prakash Raj.
