SCOOP!! & NEWS 'The King of Bollywood' dances with Sophie Dahl13th Sept 2004 19.41 IST By Nitika Desai The King of Bollywood is a satirical take on an ageing superstar in Bollywood, who, although well past the prime of his heydays, still believes that he carries the charisma to play hero to the young actresses in films. In a way, the film also takes a comical look at the way films are sometimes made in Bollywood. At the center of the story is 51-year-'young' Karan Kumar a.k.a. KK ( Om Puri ), who used to be the most sought-after star in Bollywood in the prime of his life. He was also given the title 'The King of the Bollywood'. 
Although so many years have passed since that time, KK still clings to the notion that none in the industry can match him before the camera. Despite his age, he has no inhibitions to wear gaudy clothes and not the slightest hesitation to romance young things in films. Sophie Dahl plays Crystal Chaurasia who is a 24-year-old, gorgeous NRI documentary filmmaker of partly Indian origin. She comes to Mumbai from UK to make a documentary on the life and times of KK. When KK comes to know that Crystal has come to India to make a documentary on him, his delusional self comes to fore in full splendor. What follows is a series of very comical acts by the ageing star. 'The King of Bollywood' will also mark the opening of the 'Bite the Mango Festival', which will be held from September 24th to 30th. The film is scheduled for release on 24th September worldwide. Om Puri is likely to be present at the premiere of the film in UK.
