Monday, 19th May 2014, 05:40 PM IST Shah Rukh Khan is set to be the brand ambassador for a pan masala brand which is willing to pay him around 20 crore for the deal. Shah Rukh, who is already popular among leading brands as far as endorsements are concerned, has been approached to be the face of the brand. A source says, “The commercial will show an ordinary man making it big on his own without having any connections or any godfather in the field. In keeping with this theme, the brand felt that SRK was a perfect fit. The brand officials were initially looking for another superstar until they realised that the actor’s father was already a big name in the industry which made him a wrong choice for their product. “They have now zeroed in on SRK, as he has achieved everything on his own steam. They have now made him an offer,” says the source. “SRK is a big name and the company is ready to pay him Rs 20 crore. They are very happy to know that he has shown interest in working with them and they now want to shoot a commercial with him. They want to air it on screen as soon as possible.” The actor has apparently given the green light to sign for the ad. His spokesperson was unavailable for comment.
