Place: Mannat, superstar Shah Rukh Khan's suburban bungalow.
Time: Late afternoon.
The actor is hidden from view, the epicentre of a hum of activity, multitasking as he types out mobile messages and listens to three of his team share cross-country schedules: timelines, dates, cities — the whirl of a superstar readying for a mega movie release.
"Give me a minute," he tells me. He may be sitting but he gives the impression of motion: nervous energy clings to him, it permeates the air. He looks up — in spectacles with red rims, casual jeans and tee — 'Tell me', he says.
A big upcoming release, Ra.One (reportedly more than Rs 150 crore at stake, in his own words 'one of the biggest films ever made, in the history of this country') what is his state of mind — anxious? "This is what I do for a living, I feel happy doing nothing else," says SRK.
"However cliched that sounds, I feel this is my purpose of life, to make films."
