Amazon chief Jeff Bezos was in for a Hindi movie dialogue rehearsal when he sat down with Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan and director Zoya Akhtar for a chat in the presence of who's who of the film industry here.
At the end of their conversation on Thursday evening, Shah Rukh got up and asked Bezos to repeat after him the iconic dialogue, "Don ko pakadna mushkil hi nahi namumkin hai", from his hit film "Don".
For the billionaire's convenience, the superstar replaced 'Don' with Bezos and the Hindi word 'namumkin' with its English translation 'impossible'.
"Jeff Bezos ko pakdana mushkil hi nahi impossible hai," Bezos finally said.
During the conversation, Bezos also revealed that he had "begged" for a role in "Star Trek" movies for a really long time and his wish was finally fulfilled with the 2016 movie "Star Trek Beyond".
"I got that role by literally begging... For years, I would go to them when they were making a new 'Star Trek' film. And I would say, 'I would like to be in the film' and they would say no. I just kept after it," he said.
The billionaire had appeared as a Starfleet official in the Justin Lin-directed sci-fi movie.
Bezos called Shah Rukh one of the most humble people he had met, prompting the actor to say, "It is because my last few films have not worked."
