This is like the story of the boy who cried wolf - only this time the boy in director Janaki Vishwanathan's Bollywood debut Bakra cried Shah Rukh Khan.
The child actor, who is a big fan of the star, decided to name the film's main character - the goat- after his idol, inadvertently gathering actual SRK fans at the sets.
In fact, according to a unit member, the animal has even started responding to the name - Shah Rukh.
When contacted, the National Award Winning director Vuishvanathan said, "The superstar's name is integral to the script of the film, as the child in the story loves his pet goat and is a fan of Shah Rukh Khan. The goat seems to have taken well to the name. He's been performing rather well and living up to the name. There are three lead roles in my film - Anshuman, the child and Shah Rukh."
Bakra is an allegorical film set in rural India. It delves into the universal conflict of religious spaces. The story primarily revolves around the relationship between an eight-year-old boy and his love for his pet goat.
