Thorns to competition

By Arindam Chaudhuri
Op-Ed
The Pioneer
http://www.dailypioneer.com
Friday, September 2, 2011

You can beat competition if you adopt the right strategies. Here's a
set of six winning strategies: Target it right, hit where it hurts,
obsess with it, reinvent it, nail it and sell it. This approach
works. If in doubt, look at Shahrukh Khan. He has used these six
strategies, along with his unshakeable belief in 'I'm the best', to
reach the top

I'm the best! That's one line he is known by, said Shahrukh Khan at
the launch of my latest book, Thorns to Competition, which I co-
authored with my wife Rajita. It was supposed to be a normal book
launch with Shahrukh Khan -- the man I personally think is the most
intelligent, educated, witty and charming superstar the country has.

But it turned out to be something else. Not just did Shahrukh Khan
launch the book, he also spoke in detail about how he had applied
every concept of the book in his life. And his speech became a
journey of his life. It sure was special, more so since he is known
to be shy and rarely to open up like this in public. I have
experienced this special side of him at least a couple of times in
the past. This time, I felt I must write on it. It's pure inspiration
for one and all to know of this side of his life and it sure will
help the masses know this iconic man and his amazing journey better.

I believe his tremendous habit of reading is what makes him totally
different from most others. I have always believed that you can't be
a great leader if you aren't a great reader. In fact, I tell my
friends -- just like in the case of Amitabh Bachchan -- reading
Shahrukh Khan's social media entries is a great lesson on how to look
at various facets of life and express them through absolutely
brilliantly chosen words. Come to think of it, both Shahrukh Khan and
Amitabh Bachchan are known for their education, extremely brilliant
communication skills, their unique way of expressing themselves, and
of course, above all else, both of them made it to the top through
hard work and perseverance despite not being traditional good-
lookers.

And when Shahrukh Khan was introduced as the star who has literally
given 'thorns' to his competition during his entire journey, he
decided to speak on what each of these letters stood for in his life.
Yes, this is how the Badshah of Bollywood has given 'thorns' to his
competition.

Coming to the first principle, in the book we have focussed on the
need to identify and 'T'arget one's consumer segment right. For
Shahrukh Khan, too, targeting it right has always been very
important. However, while most stars in the industry will consider
the audience whom they wish to please as their key target, Shahrukh
Khan's target has been beyond all this.

He said that when he came to this industry, people found him too
thin, too dark and thought he spoke too fast, that his hair was like
a bear's -- all over the place -- and questioned him on why he even
wanted to be in the film industry. His response always used to be,
"To make people smile!" They couldn't relate to this answer. They
insisted that people came to the film industry to make money, to get
rich.

When they asked him why he wanted to be a movie star, he said, "I
want to be a movie star for my late parents... I want to make movies
so damned bloody big that my parents, somewhere up in heaven, can sit
on some star and see my movies from there too, and say, 'Hey, we can
see his movies from here better than we can see the Great Wall of
China. We can see his movies covering the face of this earth'..." And
that has been his target. A target that no one can compete with. It's
his own set, standard of excellence. And that's why he feels that he
can't be beaten, for he has never fought the battle that everyone
else has been fighting. For him, the target needs to have an
ideology, and only then can one succeed!

Hitting where it hurts, our book's second principle, has been as
important for Shahrukh Khan. While our book speaks about comparative
advertising and competitive intelligence gathering, Shahrukh Khan
jovially said he did feel like hitting a lot of people when he
entered the industry. And still does. But he can't, thanks to where
he has reached. So he has decided not to pick up cudgels. To hit
hard, he decided to change the game. He decided to go on a route that
no one has gone on before. He even took up bad-guy roles. He is now
making the biggest film that this country has ever seen. And that's
how he hits them hard. He plays a game that others are not into, and
changes the rules of the game.

In our book, 'O' stands for obsessing with the customer and the
nation. For Shahrukh Khan, obsessing is what he does. He said that he
never tells his children that he does films so that he can earn for
their future or give them better lives. He tells them that he does
films for himself. He does films because he loves doing so. He is
obsessed with it. And even now, he says, he gets up in the middle of
the night and mutters "Kkk... Kiran!" to his wife's questioning eyes.
He said his grandmother used to tell him that every time a camera
flashed, it took away a minute of one's life -- Shahrukh Khan
confessed that his obsession with movies was such that he would
rather have so many cameras flashing at him that his life ended in a
second's time (this, incidentally, is also the last line of his yet-
to-be finished autobiography). That's how he wants to go. That's how
much he is obsessed with his work.

'R' in our book stands for reinventing! For Shahrukh Khan,
reinventing has been a constant process. His films prove how he has
been reinventing himself to remain relevant with the changing tastes
and demands. He said that as in the book, it is Lady Gaga and not Rag
Bhairavi that he now listens to -- to understand today's generation.
In fact, he is now in talks with her to do something together. It's
no more Saturday Night Fever for him but Justin Beiber.

'N' is for nail it. Nailing the message right. And that's where he
spoke that it's nailed in public psyche that he believes in saying,
"I am the best!" But the truth is that that is not how it is. This is
something that he has nailed in his own brain and psyche. He did this
to work harder than ever before. He works with better and more
talented actors all the time. But since these words are now nailed
and embedded into his system, he gets up every morning believing and
wanting to be the best. That's how he inspires himself to be the
best. By nailing this line into himself, he now has to work twice as
hard to do things better.

'S' stands for sell it. The end result of any marketing process
should be sales. If it doesn't result into sales, then it results
into nothing. And Shahrukh Khan has always believed in this. He has
always been a big believer in selling. He believes in selling dreams.
This is a real world and we all need to earn, he says, adding that a
good earning makes life a lot easier.

Mayawati bans 'Aarakshan' release for 2 months in UP

PTI
The Pioneer
Thursday, August 11, 2011

Lukhnow. Indraprasth aka New Delhi - The Mayawati Government on
Wednesday night banned the release of Prakash Jha's controversial
Hindi film Aarakshan in Uttar Pradesh for two months on the grounds
it would create law and order problem in the State.

A decision to ban the film which is due to hit the screens on Friday
was taken following a recommendation by a high level official
committee set up by the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) Government.

The committee comprising Principal secretaries of Finance,
Information, Higher Education and Rural Development departments and
an official of Entertainment tax commttee had watched the Amitabh
Bachchan-Saif Ali Khan starrer and submitted their report to the
State Government this evening. Hours before the UP Government imposed
the ban, the National Commission for Scheduled Castes asked the
Censor Board to make necessary changes in the film before its
release, objecting to the "derogatory way" the backward community has
been featured in it.

The move by the Commission came after its members watched a special
screening in Delhi.
