Shah Rukh gets ‘real’

The superstar is all set to dabble in the prosperous real estate business in Dubai.

Shah Rukh Khan is now trying a new role as a property developer, conceptualising a series of buildings in the emirate of Ras Al Khaimah in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Khan’s first project is called Shah Rukh Khan Boulevard and is located on the island of Al Dana in Ras Al Khaimah. Covering an area of 1,700 sq kilometres, Ras Al Khaimah is among the five emirates that form the northern emirates of the UAE and lies along the border of Oman.

“Our inquiries have revealed that the superstar, who has been lying low since that July 17 tiff with Salman Khan, will be in Dubai to announce the project at the real estate expo City Scape (in Dubai), to be held from October 6 to October 9,” a website report said.

Khan already is associated with UAE’s leading real estate developer Nakheel and owns a house on the posh Palm Jumeirah manmade island off the coast of the Dubai.

Though Bollywood actors have earlier endorsed real estate projects in the UAE, this is the first time that a celebrity would actually be developing a property himself, the report said.
