The superstar shared the promo of the new Star Plus show on social media wherein he is seen talking about who the show is intended for. "It's for the young, and also for those young at heart. It is for those who have ideas and for those who don't have any idea. It is for the open-minded and for those who want to open their mind," he says in the video.
What! SRK is being paid a whopping amount for his new show TED Talks: Nayi Soch?
"Ideas are the new cool currency, the new rock n roll. This show is a unique and powerful initiative towards opening people's minds to the power of ideas and encouraging 'Nayi Soch'. An idea can inspire you with limitless possibilities, give you an alternative perspective to look at oneself, one's surroundings and future," Shah Rukh said in a statement.

While big names like Javed Akhtar, Mithali Raj and Karan Johar have already shot for the show, rumour had it SRK was looking to bring international celebrities as well.
There were rumours that the Dilwale actor had charged a whopping Rs 30 crore for a week. If it's true, that will make Shah Rukh one of the most expensive television hosts.
