Shah Rukh Khan or King Khan has invited 400 barbers from Private screening of Billu Barber, or Billu that it is now being called.
In this case Shah Rukh Khan is going the Aamir Khan way in promoting his latest film Billu Barber. the buzz is that Khan has invited over 400 barbers to attend the premiere of the film. This also comes amidst the rumors that Hairdressers Association are pestering SRK and gang to change the barber word from the films title.
Priyadarshan, director of Billu Barber says, “Instead of having celebs over for the premiere of Billu Barber, Shah Rukh has planned to invite 400 barbers and their families to the premiere. His idea is to welcome barbers for the premiere on February 12, as the film revolves around Irrfan Khan, who plays a barber. Things are just getting organized for the premiere and the office is also in talks with the barbers’ association to get everything sorted for the big day.”
However Uday Takke, president of Hair Dresser association says, We want Billu Barber to be called Billu Hairdresser as barber is a derogatory and insulting term. We choose hairdressing as a profession because it is an art. Also there are many women hairstylists if Billu Barber becomes a hit, women hairdressers will be called barbers too!”
However SRK on the issue says, “Oh wow! So much for freedom of expression. We have not made this film to disrespect anyone. As a matter of fact, when a title of the film is kept after the protagonist, it is only to honor that character.”
