Shah Rukh Khan on Twitter?

@ShahRukh_Khan – is it really him?? Only time will tell.

SRK's Twitter page

I love the background image. So he has 4 updates as of now, 31 followers and isn’t following anyone yet. I wonder if it’s really him…. or is it some PR person…. and if so, I kinda wonder how much he’s paying this PR person. Because that is a job I would LOVE to have!

Thanks to @sampad for finding this one! Sampad brings up a great point in his blogpost about how ShahRukh made a wise decision by choosing to microblog… while all the other celebs are spending time blogging, SRK’s twitter account is inspiring us to blog about him.

The url on his Twitter home page points to http://www.redchillies.com:

Red Chillies Entertainment, headed by Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan is a company that is surging ahead in the global entertainment industry.

The company has a TVC division churning out ad commercials for some major global brands like Pepsi, Nokia, Hyundai, ITC & Emami to name a few.

The desire to amalgamate entertainment with sports is Red Chillies’s way of investing in a resurgent India where the future beckons with new sporting careers. This desire led to the conception of The Kolkata Knight Riders in the much hyped Indian Premier League (IPL).

To Red Chillies, progression is a path that’s not to be deviated from. Future plans include, extending its footprint to television and creating an oeuvre that spans both fiction and non-fiction for the television screen.

Looks like Shah Rukh is trying to create a media conglomerate in India… well good luck to him! I only wish his website would link back to his Twitter account, would help him get more followers – and also help boost the use of Twitter in India eh?

DNA claims it’s really him… Let’s wait for the other news media to pick it up.

Did not look like the real SRK to me in any case, if he is that PR guy is minting money for nothing :P
