Hours after he remarked, “Who is Shah Rukh Khan?” and “What is Pathaan?”, the Assam Chief minister said that he got a call from the Bollywood star.
Assam CM, who is known for his witty, no-nonsense responses, also said that he had assured Shah Rukh Khan of the recent protests in the state over his upcoming film, Pathaan.
“Bollywood actor Shri @iamsrk called me and we talked today morning at 2 am. He expressed concern about an incident in Guwahati during the screening of his film. I assured him that it’s the duty of the state govt to maintain law & order. We’ll enquire and ensure no such untoward incidents,” the Chief Minister said in a tweet.
Shah Rukh Khan’s call came a day after CM Sarma wittily asked ‘Who is Shah Rukh Khan’ and ‘What is Pathaan’ during an interaction in Guwahati.
When pointed out that Khan is a Bollywood superstar, CM Sarma said he is more eagerly waiting for the soon-to-be-released Assamese film Dr Bezbarua 2. Dr Bezbarua 2 is the sequel to the classic 1969 film Dr Bezbarua.
