Shah Rukh Khan���s dream of a lavish new office for his production Red Chillies Entertainment is finally taking shape. The actor zeroed in on the high-profile address in Khar six months ago and construction work is now on in full swing.
The plot, that sources say cost Shah Rukh Rs 56 crore, is a stone���s throw from filmmaker B R Chopra���s office building at the intersection of Ramkrishna Mission Road and 15th Cross Road at Khar (West). ���The new office spread over 40,000 square feet of land will be as statuesque as one would associate with Shah Rukh Khan.
His team of graphic designers , experts and technicians will operate from the VFX Studio in this office,��� said a source, on condition of anonymity.
Shah Rukh currently conducts business for Red Chillies Entertainment from his offices in his Bandra bungalow and in Lokhandwala, Andheri (W).
Shah Rukh is also taking a keen interest in how his new office is shaping up. According to sources, Shah Rukh regularly visits the property to check the progress on the construction work; he was spotted there at 5 am on Thursday.

���He visits the property at odd hours to check the progress so that he does not attract too much attention,��� said a source.
Khan purchased the land from Girish and Nanjibhai Patel of Option Developers. ���We were planning to build a residential complex on this plot. But when Shah Rukh Khan approached us, we decided to sell it to him. The deal was sealed around six months ago,��� said Girish Patel.
However, construction work on the office began only around a couple of months ago. The property initially belonged to a trust formed by a Catholic Community.
The land, popularly known as ���Watch Tower��� in the area housed a ground plus twostorey prayer hall with a watch tower. It was purchased by Option Developers in 2007.
