No
one
can
deny
the
fact
that
Shahrukh
Khan
is
the
biggest
global
superstar
in
the
Hindi
film
industry.
As
is
well
known,
King
Khan
has
taken
up
another
TV
quiz
show
(after
Kaun
Banega
Crorepati),
which
will
run
during
prime
time
on
the
country's
number
1
channel,
across
March
end,
April
and
May.
It
is
given
that
the
show,
'Kya
Aap
Paanchvi
Pass
Se
Tez
Hain?
'
will
command
record
eyeballs
for
sure,
especially
during
the
initial
episodes.
As
is
known,
Shahrukh
Khan
also
owns
a
cricket
team
in
the
Indian
Premier
League
(IPL),
Kolkota
Knight
Riders,
which
will
play
Twenty20
competitions
in
which
a
record
59
matches
will
be
played
and
telecast
in
April-May.
Knowing
the
involvement
of
SRK
and
some
of
the
other
high
profile
members
in
IPL,
it
is
naturally
going
to
be
a
huge
event
that
will
command
undivided
attention
of
the
cricket
crazy
nation.
So
it
is
but
obvious
that
both
Shahrukh's
television
show
and
the
IPL
cricket
tournament
will
have
an
adverse
effect
on
the
films
releasing
during
those
times.
And
will
take
away
the
audience
that
might
otherwise
have
bought
tickets
for
entertainment
purposes.
Well,
on
a
serious
note,
its
only
the
makers
(who
have
cinematically
inferior
products)
and
media
hyped
stars
who
need
to
worry
and
will
crib
about
these
factors
for
the
failure
of
their
projects.
There
have
been
countless
instances
when
audiences
have
thronged
to
the
theatres
despite
the
most
hyped
events.
But
then
on
many
of
those
occasions,
King
Khan
was
on
the
right
side
of
the
fence
for
Bollywood!
