New Delhi: Apple CEO Tim Cook’s recent visit to India grabbed headlines recently for a host of reasons. It was his maiden visit to India, he was seen performing a pooja at Siddhi Vinayak, interacted with the Ambani scion and discussed the company’s focus on new growth markets like India.
What formed the highlight, however, was the Apple CEO’s rendezvous with several Bollywood celebrities. Superstar Shah Rukh Khan even hosted a special dinner party for Tim which saw several celebs from the industry in attendance. Tim and SRK were even spotted sharing some candid moments and the two had a great time together.
Looks like there’s more to the bonhomie between King Khan and Tim Cook after all. According to a report by PC-Tablet, Apple is planning to appoint Shah Rukh Khan as its brand ambassador for India.

Reportedly, SRK’s appointment will intensify the company's profile in the country. It is also reported that Apple might also collaborate with SRK’s Red Chillies Entertainment and other Bollywood production houses for content collaboration for Apple Music and Apple TV.
In fact, if the gossip mongers are to be believed, the ‘Dilwale’ star could be the face of iPhone 7 launch in India.
While there hasn’t been any official announcement in this regard so far, reports of Shah Rukh being Apple’s Indian ambassador are quite rife and it is reported that this big announcement will be made during the launch of Apple’s new phone in India.
Currently, Shah Rukh Khan is busy with his upcoming movie ‘Raees’.
