The San Francisco International Film Festival, to be held April 5-19 at various venues throughout San Francisco and Berkeley, Calif., will pay a special tribute to Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan. This event will take place April 14 at 8:30 p.m. at the Castro Theater in San Francisco, and will be followed by a screening of Khan’s 2010 film, “My Name is Khan,” in which the city of San Francisco formed the backdrop.
India West reports that according to the San Francisco International Film Festival, “To muster an American equivalent to Shah Rukh Khan, you’d have to combine several high-wattage celebrities – Brad Pitt plus Tom Cruise plus Will Smith – and it still wouldn’t be enough.”
As part of this tribute, director and producer Brett Ratner will moderate an intimate conversation with the actor, producer, and humanitarian, exploring his unique balance between commercially-minded cinema and artistic values.
