The buzz is that Shah Rukh Khan is toying with the idea of returning to television with a mega serial based on the exploits of James Bond.The Khan is believed to be in negotiations with a leading television software company to play an ‘Indianised' avatar of Secret Service Agent 007. But what is the reason of SRK's return to the idiot box? Is he no longer sure of his standing in Bollywood?

Films are undoubtedly risky business and Shah Rukh has had a first hand experience of failure when his home production Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani, bit the dust at the Box-Office. The Khan's next release in the offing is the magnum opus Asoka-The Great, which is a period film. And period films in Lagaan and Gadar have had a tremendous run at the B.O.But it seems like that the Khan is not sure of the performance of Asoka-The Great, as it is yet to whip an excitement even though it has been in global circulation for a while now.
