MUMBAI: Film actor Shahrukh Khan today turned hostile in a special court in the case of alleged nexus of Bollywood with the underworld.Deposing before designated Judge AP Bhangale, the actor did not support the prosecution case, following which the public prosecutor, Rohini Salian declared him hostile.

According to prosecution, the actor was allegedly threatened by producer Nasim Rizvi alias Raja Saheb and his assistant Abdul Rahim Allahbaksh to act in their film and was also persuaded by them to speak to Pakistan-based gangster Chhota Shakeel. But the actor had refused to oblige.
The actor denied the police allegation that Rizvi and Abdul Rahim had approached him to act in their film.

Rizvi and Rahim are accused in this case and are facing the charge of developing alleged nexus with Chhota Shakeel to target film personalities for personal gains.

Shahrukh is the eleventh witness to turn hostile in the case. Others include, director Anees Bazmee, producer Sanjay Gupta, director Mahesh Manjrekar, owner of Venus music company Ratan Jain, financier Harish Sughand, businessmen Aftab Patel and Mohammed Ali Morani, secretary of actor Ajay Devgan - Kumar Mangat Pathak and director Ali Morani.


Excerpts from the court proceedings:
Rohini Salian: Do you consider Bharat Shah as a father figure?
Shah Rukh Khan: I consider him as a father figure and you as a sister figure!
RS: (laughs) Tum mujhe bahar milo. (You meet me outside.)
RS: Will you be scared if Chhota Shakeel calls you up?
SRK: I'll be scared even if you call me up.
RS: I put it to you that you have been won over by Bharat Shah.
SRK: You have won over my heart.
RS: Do you consider yourself a good actor?
SRK: I consider you to be a better actress

In other words all these Bollywood personalities are real cowards when it comes to the underworld, they are still their lap-dogs (SRK included). If someone shoots Rakesh Roshan again, you'd see how quick he'd change his mind.

I remember seeing how SRK saying he was threatened with death to make films for the underworld (on Ruby Wax programme in UK) now he has a chance to prosecute, like a sissy he runs, which is probably because if he did prosecute, the underworld will still get to him, then BANG! No more SRK!

So what is your point? Do you think SRK should prosecute and lose his life? Or is he a "Sissy" for saving his life?

Well as SRK was so worried about being threatened to make films for the underworld (he mentioned it on TV, which takes guts) he had the perfect opportunity with all these other film personalities to do something about it. And what did he do? Nothing! He made a joke out of it. Well, let him continue to live in fear because ragardless about wether he prosecutes or not the underworld will still be using him. He can't get out of this mess, but he could have at least done something postive. All these stars that ask for police protection DO get it. Whenever film stars are attacked, you see them come on stage or TV and speak bold words that we should all join forces to fight the underworld. Big words they are good at but when the opportunity arises, their bravey shrinks as it suddenly hits them that they could loose their life. If they are not prepared to back their words up with action, then they shouldn't even talk.

yeah he could have done positive, but do you think the Mafia, gangsters, bhais would have been eliminated from Mumbai and the rest of India???? Do you really think that SRK would get away, no matter how much protection he hired???


Doing the morally correct thing is a good idea, but I'm sure there's no use in giving up your life for nothing!! SRK, like the rest of us, is only human and I'm pretty sure he doesn't want to die just yet.

You have got to be joking?
What could have SRK possibly done to prevent something like getting threatening calls from the underworld? that too along with the support of other personals from the Film Industry? I think its too clear that most high budget bollywood films are financed by the underworld and even with films flopping left-right-center, the industry continues to show that they still have fundings to stay alive and make more economically frustrating films. The underworld affiliation with Bollywood is like white on rice. I highly doubt anyone from the Bollywood film industry has the guts to fight the underworld, but it seems that the film industry needs the underworld's financing to keep them alive.

And if Sanjay is reading, I ask you, do you know if Bollywood plays any role in the calculation of India's GDP and/or GNP?

No use one man standing up against a corrupt industry. If they really wanted to stop the underworld influence they can with the power of the filmy industry and authorities but neither groups wants this, as they need each other to survive.

Sounds typical of SRK this court appearance, if you have seen much of his interviews and TV appearance he naturally comes across like that :laugh:
