SRK deserved an Oscar for MNIK if Hollywood was not manipulated: Paulo Coelho

Mumbai: Shah Rukh Khan has a huge fan following across the globe and joining the clan is renowned author Paulo Coelho. Recently when Paulo took to Twitter to praise the actor’s work, SRK was over the moon.

Way back in August, Paulo had tweeted, “My name is Khan" (2009) is the best movie I watched this year”. What followed was a friendly banter between the two. Paulo had also expressed his desire to watch more of Shah Rukh's films. He had said, “@karanjohar @iamsrk Congrats for "My name is Khan." I wish we could see more of your movies in Europe. I had to wait 6 yrs to watch this!” In reply to his tweet, SRK had posted, @paulocoelho send me your address sir I will supply you all indian films as they release. We read u as soon as u write...v r blessed. Thanx.”

Looks like Shah Rukh has kept his promise, and sent over DVD’s of some of his films for the author to watch.

However, it didn't end there. A few hours ago Paulo took to his Facebook page and posted; “His fist (and only) movie that I watched (this year, even if it was released in 2008) was "My name is Khan". And not only the movie was excellent, but SRK deserved an Oscar if Hollywood was not manipulated. He kindly offered to send the other titles - as you probably guess, it is not easy to find them in Switzerland.”
