SRK HONOURED WITH THE BRANDLAUREATE LEGENDARY AWARD

Shah Rukh Khan on Thursday evening attended his friend and the 4th Prime Minister of Malaysia Tun Dr Mahathir bin Mohammad’s birthday and he was also awarded the prestigious BrandLaureate Legendary Award. The superstar was given this honour by the Asia Pacific Brands Foundation for his contributions to the Bollywood film industry and as India’s foremost brand ambassador. Shah Rukh was humbled by the honour given to him by Founder of Lord’s Tailor Mr Robert Loh, President of The BrandLaureate Dr KK Johan, and Tun Dr Mahathir bin Mohammad. 

“It is an honour to be given the Brandlaureate Legendary Award. It is always a pleasure to be amongst friends and to be given so much love and motivation to do better,” said Shah Rukh. 

The BrandLaureate Legendary Award has been earlier given to the likes of Dr Nelson Mandela, Nobel Laureate recipient Mohammad Yunus, Ratan Tata, late Steve Jobs, Marck Zuckerburg, Michael Schumacher and more. 

In 2008 Shah Rukh had become the first Indian actor to be conferred with the prestigious Malaysian title of Datuk (equivalent of the British Knighthood) by the governor of Malaysia’s southern state of Malacca for promoting tourism through his movies in that region. Earlier this year, Shah Rukh became the first Indian film industry’s personality to be honoured with the prestigious Chubb fellowship at Yale University and very recently he was honoured with LÉtoile d’Or by Mohammaed VI, the King of Morocco during 12th International Film Festival of Marrakech twice in a row.

Sanjay Dutt’s look in Zanjeer revealed!

Sanjay Dutt has given us two mind-blowing performances this year with Agneepath and Son Of Sardaar! While he received rave reviews for his spine-chilling portrayal of Kancha Cheena in the yesteryear remake, he also won everyone’s heart as the funny paaji in SOS!

Sanju baba gave us totally different looks in both films and the latest is that the superstar is donning yet another avatar in the forthcoming Zanjeer directed by Apoorva Lakhia starring south megastar Ram Charan and Bollywood Princess Priyanka Chopra!

Here’s giving you an exclusive dekko from the film in which the ace actor is essaying the role of veteran actor Pran from the yesteryear Zanjeer! Sanju baba’s unique look has been designed by director Apoorva Lakhia himself. Apoorva knew exactly what kind of look he wanted for Sanjay Dutt as Sher Khan. He roped in well-known designer Navin Shetty for the costume and popular hair stylist Aalim’s team for the hair! While earlier this year he was seen portraying a bald look in Agneepath as well as a sardaar in Son Of Sardaar, for Zanjeer he will be seen donning short hair, kohl eyes and a styled beard!

The team understood exactly what the director needed and the result is for all to see! This little glimpse of the film takes our excitement around it several notches higher!

Produced by Reliance Entertainment, Amit Mehra and Flying Turtle Films Zanjeer is slated to release on April 12^th 2013!
