In part three of our series, Shah Rukh Khan picks his favourite tourist destinations of the city.
Must-visit Mumbai destinations It's clich&eacute;d, but the Gateway of India is stunning. It's positioned in sync with the Taj Mahal Hotel. The stories and myths related to the two monuments make them even more interesting. I love old cinema houses such as Metro and Maratha Mandir. More than the screens, their offices are very old-fashioned &mdash; oak panelled, huge tables, thick curtains and big carpets, all in reds and browns. The multiplexes are very cool but if a movie theatre is retained with its opera house-like feel, it looks nice.

Daddy's day out I would like to take my kids to the beaches. I feel that I have bereft them of a beach walk. As for Abram, I can take him anywhere; he still thinks he is in LA! I can take him to Hamley's and say it's Disney [laughs].
Bandra's best-kept secret Mannat! I have spent a lot of time living next to it when it functioned as a studio. The climax scene of Sunny Deol's Narsimha was shot there; Govinda and David Dhawan's Shola aur Shabnam was also filmed there. The first time I visited it, Amrita Singh (she's a friend) was shooting a mujra scene with Mr Anupam Kher. It was quite something! Mannat always looked like a mujra set or a villain's den to me after that. It was a convenient and popular shooting spot. When I bought it, I had a lot of actors complaining, "Arey! Location khatam ho gaya; now we will have to go far to shoot."

Khan, the Mumbai guide to Hollywood stars? Left to myself, I would get lost! But I know the ways to all the studios in Mumbai, I am like the Google maps to studios. I would take them to Film City, Filmalaya, Filmistan, Yashraj, even Mukesh Mills. There's a whole section in Mehboob Studios that has been occupied by some of the greatest filmmakers and directors.
They have a really nice make-up room but everyone gets ready in their make-up vans now. The last time we shot there was for Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. I have heard stories about Filmcity because it's in a jungle but I have never even seen a rat there [laughs]. YRF was a cricket ground for us before it was a studio. We would have huge matches there on Sundays with Adi [Aditya Chopra], Sikander [Kher], Abhishek [Bachchan] and Hrithik [Roshan].
