"If it's not a winning business at this point in time.. I won't be able to survive unlike other corporates in this business... So if it doesn't work for one year, then I'm back to basics... I'll be doing my films again," he said.

Khan, who has named his cricket team Kolkata Knight Riders, hoped that kids, who were his team's fans now, remained so even ten years later.

"I hope that kids who are 12-year-old now and are Kolkata Knight Riders' fans (remain so) when they are 22. So, the whole idea is a long dream and I hope it gets fulfilled," he told NDTV on the sidelines of a function in Delhi on Saturday.
