This was disclosed by Banerjee at the state secretariat Writers' Buildings Monday.

Sources said Shah Rukh's acceptance came in the form of a letter to the chief minister.

Banerjee had put the request to the movie icon during a tete-a-tete after the inauguration of the 17th Kolkata film Festival last November.

Shah Rukh had then verbally agreed to the chief minister's appeal.
