How's Apple planning to go big in India? Hint: it involves Shah Rukh Khan!

With Apple planning to focus marketing in India, they seem to want SRK to head the campaign!

03 Jun, 2016

So now we know why SRK threw a big do for Apple CEO Tim Cook a few weeks ago.

Rumour has it that Shah Rukh Khan has been approached to be the brand ambassador for Apple in India.

The official announcement is expected when Apple launches the latest versions of the iPhone later this year, reports Mac Rumours.

With a number of star ambassadors such as Barcelona soccer player Neymar and NBA player Steph Curry, it was only a matter of time that Apple made its way to India. Who better to make us covet a new Apple Watch than SRK - he'll make anything look cool.

Now you know why India is moving ahead. Its because their foreign policy involves and support personalities from all walks of life and vice versa. Where is Pakistan's foreign policy and future planning?? Strong Pakistan that is the need for other bigger nations is favourable to All Pakistani Nationals regardless of corrupt or not. Think BIG Think Future for GOD sake.

Using outdated and controversial bollywood figure is going to create problem to Apple. They should rather pick sports figure.

I think Apple is making a mistake by choosing SRK as brand ambassador...it will meet the fate of Big Basket... Only after removing SRK, Big Basket regained customers...

Apple should appoint Virat Kohli or Sachin Tendulkar, I think SRK is a controversial selection for Apple Brand. No doubt SRK is a great person & perfect choice for ambassador but in recent time he is not worth for Apple.

@sekhar Big companies like Apple knows what they do. I won't be surprised in the Apple-ad to see sport-person like Saina nehwal or Sania mirza along-with SRK.
