Bollywood News : Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan today celebrated his 43rd birthday along with his family and close friends at his suburban bungalow 'Mannat.'

The actor is presently busy with the post production of his home production 'Billo Barber', which is to be released next year, Aditya Chopra's 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' to be released next month and preparation of the second season of the Indian Premiere League (IPL).

The actor has not had a single release since last Diwali. His films 'Om Shanti Om' and 'Chak De India' were huge box office sucesses and had swept all film awards.

His foray into IPL as the owner of Kolkata Knight Riders team did not have a dream run in the T-20 league while his television show 'Kya Aap Panchvi Pass Se Tez Hai' also faired poorly.

The actor, however, took these failures in a positive stride and said that each failure energises him to achieve greater success.

During his absence from the silver screen his 'King' status was virtually challenged by actor Akshay Kumar whose 'Singh is Kinng' got a bigger opening than 'Om Shanti Om'.

Shah Rukh Khan's spat with Salman Khan at Katrina Kaif's birthday bash also hit the headlines recently.

Salman spoke extensively about the fight ruling out patch up. Khan has however said that if Salman was not his friend he was not his enemy either.

Bollywood Gossip : Realistic Bollywood filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar's keenly awaited film FASHION will have a limited audience!

The Censor Board of Film Certification has passed FASHION under 'A' (Adult) certificate after they watched the film. On seeing the movie the censor board on many occasions felt that there were many such scenes which are not fit for family viewing.

As per few reports Bhandarkar was not happy with Censor Board's decision. Madhur who is quite enthusiastic about his dear project FASHION, was expecting an U/A certificate. He even argued for the same with the board members but they stood adamant. They were ready only under one condition, if Madhur deletes few scenes.

When Madhur Bhandarkar refused to do so, the members had no option other than certifying it as 'A'.

When we contacted Madhur to confirm the same he said, "Yeah that's true that Censor Board asked me to delete atleast 6 scenes. But I couldn't agree on the same as the theme of FASHION happens to be out and out glamorous. And deleting scenes from the movie would not have done justice to the film or blend in. I tried my best to convince them that deleting the scenes means removing the integral part from the film and compromising on realistic aspect of the movie. I certainly never expected that the board would give it a 'U' certificate, but I was sure enough to get an U/A certificate."

He further adds, "Since it would not have been a good option to hold the movie for the simple reason of certification, I didn't go for a further revising, though I had an option to appeal to the committee of the board against the Examining Committee's decision."

Now the bollywood film will hit the screens on the assigned date i.e. 29th October.
