Shahrukh Khan has registered one more shinning part in his life as book by Samar Khan on SRK 25 Years of a Life which is based on the life and times of Shah Rukh Khan is released. Samar is a close friend of Badshah and known him for 20 years.

The co-author Sonali Kokra of Samar, "The thought behind the book was to show why his directors thought of such iconic characters for Shah Rukh. I had made a documentary called Living With A Superstar on him where he had told me that every piece (of character) he does, leaves a piece behind and today he a culmination of all the characters he has ever played in his life. If I had to know the man completely, I had to talk to the filmmakers he has worked with, so I have spoken to all his directors except Raj Kanwar (passed away) and Shashilal Nair (whom I couldn’t contact)."

Aditya Chopra and SRK has worked in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Mohabbatein and Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi said through the medium of this book, "When we cast him for Darr , to be honest, neither dad, nor I really liked him. He was working on Rakesh Roshan’s King Uncle then and we had managed to get our hands on the reel of some footage. Neither of us were very impressed but somehow, maybe because everyone kept rejecting the negative part, we ended up signing him."
