Wondering, how our ‘Baadshah’ Khan can compete against Tom Cruise? Well, spare a moment fellas! Agreed that Hollywood is a much bigger force to reckon with when compared to our Bollywood but, the popularity of our Shahrukh ‘King’ Khan is so immense that he can give Tom Cruise a run for his money.
Let us wind the clocks back four years. If you can remember, Shahrukh’s ‘Om Shanti Om’ and Tom Cruise’s ‘Lions for Lambs’ were out during the same week. Believe it or not, our Baadshah’s OSO made 19 million dollars worldwide in its first weekend while the Hollywood Super Star’s movie only made 10.3 million dollars. That was when SRK’s true potential as a global phenomenon was reckoned with by the World Media.
Guess what, come December, Shahrukh’s Don-2 is going head to head with Tom Cruise’s fourth outing as Ethan Hunt, Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol. Given the fact that Don-2 is also seeing a 3-D release, it is sure to attract the audience’s eye worldwide. Reckon Tom Cruise should at least be prepared to take a dent in his film’s openings given our King Khan’s global popularity and following.
