The name shake!

While shooting for Subhash Ghai’s Yuvraj in Austria, Salman Khan was mistaken for Shah Rukh Khan by the locals. Although Salman was far from pleased, he kept his cool but only until Katrina Kaif teased him.


“We were shooting for Subhash Ghai’s Yuvraj in Austria. People would often look at Sallu and scream out Shah Rukh’s name!” says an insider. “It happened first when we were shooting a scene outdoors and a group of European locals present to watch the shoot, started chanting Shah Rukh.....

Shah Rukh...Shah Rukh as soon as Salman came to the sets. An amused Salman simply smiled back at them,” he adds.

Several similar incidents followed. Our source reveals, “The next day, at another place in the same city, Salman faced a similar situation when another set of girls went crazy shouting King Khan’s name as soon as they saw Salman shooting. They were standing slightly away and one of the unit members had told them the biggest star of Bollywood was shooting there,” the source continues.

His girlfriend Katrina even made fun of Sallu once. “He was deeply embarrassed when Katrina (who stars opposite him in the film) poked fun at him in good humour. A grumbling Sallu then decided to concentrate on the shoot. But when the crowds didn’t stop chanting SRK’s name, he finally turned around and said, ‘I am Salman Khan not Shah Rukh Khan.’ Then he burst out laughing,” says the source.

A friend of Salman adds, “It wasn’t as if he was annoyed or felt jealous about SRK’s name being recited instead of his own. He reacted just to let people know the difference between the two Khans.”
