I am also grateful to all the wonderful people from the Indian film industry that will join me on this incredible journey. I cannot wait to share the stage with them.”

Deepika Padukone added: “I would like to thank all the people in the Gulf States for their response and support to Chennai Express.

The Italian island of Giglio made final preparations on September 15, 2013 on the eve of an unprecedented attempt to raise the 114,500-ton Costa Concordia cruise ship from its watery grave. The biggest salvage of a passenger ship ever attempted is to begin shortly after 6:00 am (0400 GMT) on September 16 and could last up to 12 hours. (AFP)

The Bollywood 'badshah' talks about his successes and failures. Shah Rukh Khan talks about his disappointment that 'RaOne' did not do well but also expresses his gratefulness that 'Chennai Express' worked with the audience at the Box Office.
 
He promises to work very hard for as 'many good years' that he has ahead. He also says, tongue-and-cheek, that he would also make his fans go through some 'bad years' as well. King Khan admits that he has been in the industry long enough to know that not every idea will click and he also has too much experience to not know what will not click.
