"Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan features alongside Michael Jackson and Shakira in a new book on stardom. The Indian film celebrity features in the newly launched Transnational Stardom: International Celebrity in Film and Popular Culture, edited by Russell Meeuf and Raphael Raphael.  Charlie Henniker, author of the chapter on Khan, told Digital Spy: &amp;quot;Writing about Shah Rukh in a global context showed me just how well known he is outside India, and outside the Indian diaspora. &amp;quot;Instrumental in all of this was Professor Rachel Dwyer at SOAS, who encouraged me to take on a subject as massive as SRK. The conclusions of the essay just go to show that SRK is many things to many people - he&amp;#039;s such an endearing brand and personality.&amp;quot; Henniker added that he was able to meet Khan when he was in London last year filming the late Yash Chopra&amp;#039;s Jab Tak Hai Jaan. &amp;quot;Having met him twice - once by design and once by chance - I can confirm he lives up to his &amp;#039;filmi&amp;#039; presence,&amp;quot; said Henniker. Shilpa Shetty, Javier Bardem and John Wayne are also subjects of chapters in the Palgrave Macmillan release. Transnational Stardom: International Celebrity in Film and Popular Culture is out now.
