MALACCA: Plans are afoot to get Bollywood superstar Datuk Shah Rukh Khan to perform here on Dec 11 after he visits Kuala Lumpur.
Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam said the state would seek private sponsorship to help orga-nise the concert in conjunction with the UN World Assembly of Youths 60th anniversary celebrations to be held here next month.
Shah Rukh: The actor is glad to assist the state as an adviser to promote the local film industry. The event, he added, would be held at Stadium Hang Jebat in Krubong to enable as many fans to catch their Bollywood idol in action.
“We are trying to get a private company or maybe several more to sponsor the event.
“It will be worth their while as they can get international publicity if Shah Rukh Khan endorses their products,” he told reporters during a break at the State Legislative Assembly here yesterday.
He said state representatives had recently met the star in India to discuss how to promote and develop the local film industry.
Shah Rukh said he was not keen on setting up a studio here due to time constraints.
However, he said he would be glad to assist the state as an adviser.
Shah Rukh, who was conferred his Datukship title by Malacca Governor Tun Mohd Khalil Yaakob last December, had previously said that he would shoot a movie in Malacca titled Happy New Year.
