The megastar and the fan have a history. According to DNA, SRK Universe, Shah Rukh’s biggest fan club, had announced a donation of Rs 5000 towards Harshul every time KKR win a match. Goenka has also been receiving tickets to Kolkata's home matches in Eden Garden.
On the work front, the actor was last seen in 'Zero' and is yet to announce his next project. The film was helmed by Anand L Rai and also starred Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma in pivotal roles. The film did not go down well with the audience and also didn't ring cash registers for the makers. As per reports, Shah Rukh turned down the offer for astronaut Rakesh Sharma’s biopic, Saare Jahan Se Achcha. Writer of the film, Anjum Rajabali, in a statement has said that space drama is not an issue but it's Zero's failure which has shaken up SRK a lot and hence he is being very careful about his next choice.
