Shah Rukh Khan enjoys a massive fan following alright and none can deny his star power. But, can you image an entire shrine dedicated to him in Munnar, Kerala? Politician Shashi Tharoor made the discovery when on a recent trip to Munnar. He complained that he couldn’t rest enough as he had to share the hotel suite with superstar Shah Rukh Khan. Not quite literally, though!
He had to share the room with a cut-out of SRK dressed in a sherwani, adorned with his posters. Sharing a couple of pictures on social media, the Thiruvananthapuram MP wrote, “Dear @iamsrk, when on a brief visit to Munnar yesterday I took rest in the room you occupied in 2013, which has been converted into a shrine for you & #ChennaiExpress! Every wall is decorated w/posters of the film &the suite is dominated by this cut-out of you. No place for rest!”

So the history behind the shrine is that in the year 2013, when Shah Rukh Khan was shooting for the movie Chennai Express with Deepika Padukone, he was staying at the same hotel room in Munnar. Now, the room has been converted to a place specially dedicated for the superstar.
It was a coincidence of sorts that Tharoor also happened to stay at the same hotel and with large cut-out of the actor placed in the middle of the room, he jokingly stated, “No place for rest.” We are sure many would sympathise with him, unless they are diehard fans of King Khan!
On the work front, SRK will be seen in Don 3, which is touted to be the last instalment in the Don series as reports suggest the title of the film will be Don: The Final Chapter
