'K..k..khan's speech' India's entry to the Oscars

The Hindi remake of the multiple academy-award winning King's Speech starring 'King' Khan himself, has been selected as India's official entry to the Oscars for the year 2011. 'K..k..khan's speech' was released amid much fanfare last Diwali and bombed at the box office, which only increased its chances of being selected for the Oscars. The adaptation, starring Sahrukh Khan as a struggling actor who overcompensates for his poor diction with overdone expressions, and former cricketer Najvot Siddu as his voice coach, won several NRI hearts all over England. To make the adaptation 'real' and spontaneous, it is rumored that Siddu wrote his own lines which are in turn, old proverbs with the nouns mixed up with animal and bird names. "Bad films don't always win oscars. Crows don't always pee into the wind' he said, prophetically, when pressed for a reaction.
