Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is known to be quite a chilled-out and a level-headed person and one rarely sees him throw a hissy fit or have a meltdown. But a video which has surfaced online seems to show us another other side of SRK, a side less known to people. In the video, Shah Rukh Khan is allegedly seen losing his cool after an Egyptian TV show host Ramez Galal plays a prank on him.
While, SRK is known to be quite a prankster himself, he certainly did not enjoy being at the receiving end of this practical joke. A video has gone viral on social media that shows Shah Rukh Khan trapped in quicksand with TV presenter Nishan, who was a part of the prank. Soon after, we see a giant Komodo dragon approaching Shah Rukh Khan and Nishan. SRK was seen struggling to not drown in the quicksand along with a petrified Nishan, who could not stop screaming. To his annoyance, the superstar then sees Ramez Galal remove the costume of the Komodo Dragon and that is when SRK allgedly loses it.

SRK thunders at Galal screaming, "This is nonsense you got me all the way from India to do this shit?" Ramez Gala tries to calm him and apologise but SRK is in no mood to listen to him. SRK starts throwing sand at Ramez and finally the duo end up in a brawl.
As Galal repeatedly apologises, Shah Rukh Khan shoves him to the ground and threatens to punch him. SRK starts calling for his security and asks them to have Ramez thrown out.
However, as per media reports even SRK's anger was staged and was a part of the prank. He was reportedly paid a sum of Rs 2 crores for staging a fake fight with the Egyptian TV show host. In fact, Ramez even uploaded a picture on Twitter with SRK, but the veracity can't be confirmed if it was uploaded before or after their 'public brawl'. On the work front SRK has started shooting for Aanand L Rai's next film, which is tentatively titled 'Katrina Meri Jaan'.
