SRK overtakes the Undertaker

The Undertaker can go and eat cake! And the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) can consider infringement of copyright on the exclusive look of menace of its star entertainer. But Shah Rukh Khan will not be put off. If this is how King Khan wants to look in his new avtaar, then who’s going to stop him?

Yes, take a peek at SRK today. Isn’t he a piece of bad news? Would you like to come up against him in a dark alley? We wouldn’t. But, post Chak De! India, if the Bollywood Badshah worked on his new six-pack look for Om Shanti Om, then post OSO, this is how he looks. From the lover boy of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge to the mature hockey coach of Chak De to the latest muscular hero, SRK has made the transition with ease. And now this!

Though, like we said, the 6 feet 7 inches bruiser who provides the chills and spills of the WWE ring is not going to be very amused. As it is, his massive body took quite a trouncing some years ago from Akshay Kumar for Khiladi No 1. And now this beating his image is bound to suffer with SRK getting into the act of heavy breathing, deadly silence and murder in the eyes. Tsk, tsk, maybe it’s really time for the Undertaker to Rest In Peace!
