I am really surprised to see how the PR personnel in Bollywood can "manipulate" or influence or control the media.

First of all, I am not a fan of Shahrukh Khan. He is not a great actor for sure. Just because he gives hits does not make him a great actor.

But I was surprised to see rediff giving him so much importance on his 40th Birthday, running "Shahrukh specials" and giving articles and special features. If that was not enough, TOI ran a front page photograph of Shahrukh and other actors posing for camera on his Birthday bash. Then came OMNI TV, who gave coverage about his birthday in their evening version of South Asian news.

But what surprised me, was that his photo appeared on the front page of IMDB yesterday, in the "birthday" section. And when you click on his biography, there is lots of details about his career, similar to what you find in biography of other Hollywood actors. I am surprised how influential Shahrukh's PR staff is.

So, why does Shahrukh has to create all this publicity. Is it kind of insecurity that makes him do all this stuff??? Because if you are talented and have confidence in yourself, your movies and talent will speak for yourself. Even during his superstardom days, Amitabh Bachhan did not hog so much media space.

Even for really talented Hollywood stars like Tom Hanks, Jack Nicholson or RObert De Niro, you will hardly find them doing publicity stunts or appearing in late night shows......

Shahrukh is the biggest hype.
I dont know how some compare him to Dilip Kumar.
Just today they were showing Aan and just watching Dilip, the only similarity is in the looks. Else its not even close.

How about AR Rahman?
Is he hyped also?
What do you think of his music?
What should one listen too that is cosidered his best work?
