Shah Rukh may have been a great inspiration to his hockey team in Chak De India, but he’s proved to be quite the opposite in real life with his own Kolkata cricket team - that is, if the crew’s current standing in the IPL is anything to go by.
Yet, there are those who still believe in King Khan. Officials at the Sardar Vallabhai Patel (SVP) Police Academy in Hyderabad have recently invited the superstar to help boost the morale of their officers.
The institute had sent their request to Mumbai police commissioner Hasan Gafoor earlier this week, who had forwarded it to Shah Rukh.
An officer from Bandra police station visited Khan’s Mannat residence and handed over the invitation, which requested the star to conduct a lecture to motivate probationary Indian Police Service (IPS) officers towards their jobs.
Sources say Shah Rukh accepted the invite and agreed to give the talk, but the dates are yet to be confirmed. This is the first time an actor has been invited by a police academy for a lecture on motivation.
E D Mani, personal assistant to the director K Vijaykumar, said, “We are awaiting his response. The programme entails one-on-one interaction of the probationary officers studying here; no outsider is allowed.”
For the sake of the institute and all that are involved, Khan will hopefully succeed with the academy where he failed with his team.
It’s no secret that the superstar team-owner bombarded his Kolkata team with SMSes before every match. For the past two years, he’s been telling them to keep their chin up no matter what, and that the only way they’ll succeed is by enjoying the game.
