Shah Rukh and Big B, both ardent football fans, are currently glued into the World Cup festivities
Highlights
- Shah Rukh Khan, who took the small screen route to filmdom and stardom, has reached out to Amitabh Bachchan to say that he's awaiting the launch of Yudh, which marks Big B's debut in the fiction space on TV. SRK is sure the show will be "pathbreaking".
- Shah Rukh tweeted to Big B on July 5:
- @SrBachchan waiting for Yudh. Am sure it will be path breaking as all your other endeavours have been. Let's do football one nite sir.
