Back to basics if IPL venture fails: Shah Rukh

New Delhi: Bollywood actor Shahrukh Khan, who owns an Indian Premier League cricket team, will give a year’s time to the new venture and if it doesn’t work for him, it will be back to films fulltime.

“It’s not a winning business at this point in time… I won’t be able to survive unlike other corporates in this business... So if it doesn’t work for one year, then I’m back to basics... I’ll be doing my films again,” he said.

Mr. Khan, who has named his cricket team Kolkata Knight Riders, hoped that kids, who were his team’s fans now, remained so even ten years later. “So, the whole idea is a long dream and I hope it gets fulfilled,” he told NDTV on the sidelines of a function here on Saturday. — PTI
