Superstar
Shahrukh
Khan
paid
tribute
to
late
actor-filmmaker
Raj
Kapoor,
popularly
known
as
the
"Showman",
on
his
reality
TV
show
India
Poochega
Sabse
Shaana
Kaun?
Years
back,
Raj
Kapoor
narrated
the
life
of
a
joker
in
a
circus
through
his
popular
movie
Mera
Naam
Joker,
hinging
on
"The
show
must
go
on" notion.
It
was
when
SRK
saw
one
of
the
contestants
from
Delhi
with
a
joker's
nose
that
he
trailed
back
to
the
golden
era
of
cinema,
dominated
by
the
likes
of
Raj
Kapoor,
Dilip
Kumar
and
Dev
Anand.
The
'nose'
reminded
Shah
Rukh
of
late
Raj
Kapoor's
iconic
character
from
movie
Mera
Naam
Joker,
which
released
in
1970.
Shah
Rukh,
who
has
been
tagged
as
'Bollywood
badshah'
after
carving
a
niche
for
himself
in
the
industry
with
hits
like
Dil
To
Pagal
Hai,
Dilwale
Dulhania
Le
Jayenge
and
Dil
Se..,
also
tried
on
a
'joker's
nose'.
The
Happy
New
Year
actor
got
nostalgic
as
he
remembered
the
legend
of
Bollywood
cinema.
Another
interesting
scoop
is
that
the
&TV
channel
show,
which
will
premier
on
the
small
screen
on
Monday,
has
been
shot
in
RK
Studio.
Raj
Kapoor
was
only
24
when
he
launched
his
own
studio,
RK
Films,
and
became
the
youngest
director
of
his
time
with
Aag
in
1948.
He
went
on
to
taste
success
by
producing,
directing
and
acting
in
successful
movies
like
Barsaat
(1949),
Awara
(1951),
Shree
420
(1955),
Chori
Chori
(1956).
One
of
his
popular
song
'Pyar
hua
iqrar
hua' with
a
hat,
jacket
and
a
shirt
with
the
legend
standing
under
an
umbrella
with
co-star
Nargis,
is
still
one
of
the
most
remembered
song
of
the
yesteryear
cinema.
In
fact
Shah
Rukh
created
the
magic
of
the
moment
in
his
movie
Rab
Ne
Bana
Di
Jodi
for
the
song
'Phir
milenge
chalte
chalte'.
