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 - MTV to make movies with Shah Rukh, Hrithik, Aamir

Wednesday, September 10, 2008

Bollywood News : Popular music channel MTV is all set to make three films with the reigning stars of today - Shah Rukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan and Aamir Khan.

All the three movies will be regular commercial productions to be made on a grand scale, a source at MTV told IANS.

Right now, the actors signed by the channel are busy working in their respective movies. Shah Rukh is currently shooting for Yash Raj Films' 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi', Hrithik with home production 'Kites' and Aamir with his much-awaited 'Ghajini.'

Since these movies are slated for release later this year, the proposed MTV productions are likely to mount the sets next year. The channel, however, refused to elaborate on it.

MTV India's past attempt at filmmaking, however, was not encouraging. In 2006, the channel made 'Ghoom', a 45-minute spoof on Yash Raj Films' 'Dhoom', but it bombed at the box-office.

Bollywood Gossip - SRK to give up smoking?

Wednesday, August 6, 2008

Bollywood Gossip : Health Minister A Ramadoss may finally breathe a sigh of relief. Shah Rukh Khan has decided to give up smoking.

"I am planning to quit smoking for the sake of my children, who hate to see me smoke," Shah Rukh Khan said, in an interview to the Malayalam daily, Malayalam Manorma. "It is a blessing in disguise and I will quit smoking in the next two months," he added.

SRK's smoking had become a kind of war between him and the Health Minister.

Ramadoss had often stated that Shah Rukh's habit of smoking publically set up a bad precedent for youngsters. But the actor did not stop.

"I am sure Mr Ramadoss will be very happy to hear this news," Shah Rukh Khan told the Malayalam newspaper.

The interview was conducted at Pollachi in Tamil Nadu where SRK is shooting for Billo Barber, directed by Priyadarshan. The film's Tamil version, Kuselan and Telugu version Kathanayakudu -- both starring Rajnikanth -- released last week.

"I started smoking when I was 22. For the last 20 years, I have been a smoker," SRK said.

"The idea of quitting propped up during a 17-hour flight," SRK explained. The actor could not smoke on the flight, and did not even feel the urge. "So if I can do without smoking in flight, I am sure I can do without it on land too," he said.

But this is not the first time Shah Rukh Khan has promised to quit smoking

Bollywood Gossip - Kajol's yes to Shah Rukh Khan

Tuesday, June 17, 2008

Bollywood Gossip : Bollywood Actress Kajol has finally agreed to do Karan Johar's next titled 'My Name Is Khan' and feature as Shah Rukh Khan's wife in the film about an Indian couple living in

the US.

The two were last seen as couple in Karan's 2001 family saga 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham'.

When the media reported the news of her being considered for the role in 'My Name Is Khan' early last month, the straightforward actress had retorted by saying that without reading the script she would not give consent to work in a movie even made by her husband, leave alone Karan Johar or anybody else.

According to a source close to the production house, soon after that she went on a holiday with her family and there was a lull on 'My Name Is Khan' front. Now it is learnt that she has given the green signal to the movie to be directed by Karan.

Though the movie is scheduled to be launched in December, a buzz has already started that Karan has a winner in his. Not only because it has a hit pair heading the cast, but also because the composer trio, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, has scored some "outstanding" tunes for the movie.

Those who have heard some of the tunes composed with dummy lyrics say that one of the highlights of 'My Name Is Khan' will certainly be its music, as it always is in a Karan Johar production.

The launch of 'My Name is Khan' has been deferred till December because at present Karan is busy with Dharma Productions' other movies, including Bollywood Actors Abhishek Bachchan, Priyanka Chopra and John Abraham starrer 'Dostana'. The film is due for release later this year.

Karan is also planning to launch his erstwhile assistant Ayaan as a full-fledged director. Incidentally, Ayaan is Kajol's first cousin.

Bollywood Gossip - Shahrukh seeks removal of VAT

Wednesday, May 28, 2008

Mumbai (PTI): Bollywood actor Shahrukh Khan on Tuesday demanded that Value Added Tax and service tax on the entertainment industry be abolished and

industry status be conferred to it.

It has become necessary to bring in entertainment industry under the 'concurrent list' so that it can be governed under central rules and enjoy tax concessions announced by the government from time to time, Khan said in a statement here.

At present, the entire entertainment and film industry comes under state government' s jurisdiction as a result of which, it has not been able to enjoy the already conferred dejure industry status on it.

Shahrukh Khan would release a study on the entertainment industry on Tuesday evening highlighting the need for the removal of VAT and service tax.

The study - 'The Entertainment & Media Hub' is done by Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (Assocham).

Retaining the industry in the state government list deprives the tax concessions given by the Centre, Assocham said in its study.

According to the Assocham study, the media and entertainment sector would cross a turnover of Rs 1 lakh crore by 2011-12 from Rs 44,000 crore now.

The turnover of the television industry would grow by 22 per cent to Rs 51,900 crore by 2011-12 from Rs 19,100 crore, it said.

Bollywood Gossip - Meri aunty ke hoth gulabi hain

Monday, May 26, 2008

Bollywood Gossip : Log kahte hain ki meri aunty ke gaal chamakdaar hain...Lekin main kahta hoon ki meri aunty ki muskaan mazedaar hai...

Log kahte hain, ki meri aunty badi cool hain.. Lekin main

kahta hoon, ki meri aunty toh gulaab ka phool hain...

Inki baaten itni meethi jaisa sandesh hai...Yeh dil se hain bholi...lekin dimag se Paanchvi Paas se tez hain"

Amazed at Shah Rukh's poetry, she begins the game of answering questions from the first to the fifth grade. How far does she go in winning the prize money of Rs 5 crores?

It's time for another contestant and once again, it's a lady from Kolkatta. Thirty-three-year-old Rumana Saif is an administration executive. As she takes the challenge to face the simple yet tricky questions from first to fifth grade, Shah Rukh comments that the buzz is around 'Kareena Saif', but Rumana Saif is something which he had never heard before.

Shah Rukh is at his humorous best and makes Rumana feel really special and flirts with her. Rumana, an ardent fan of Shah Rukh, can't believe that she is standing so close to her dream man. She bends forward to touch him to believe if its indeed reality or a dream.

Rumana reveals her story of having been through an unsuccessful marriage and her hardships being a single parent.

Rumana wishes to buy her son all the luxuries in life with the prize money she earns. The episode gets emotional as she completely breaks down as she narrates her life's story in front of Shah Rukh.

But its minutes before Shah Rukh entertains her and makes her forget her pain as she takes the test. He plays the chirpy track 'Pretty Woman' which lights up Rumana's face with joy!

Bollywood Gossip - Punishment SMS from Shah Rukh Khan

Friday, May 23, 2008

New Delhi, May 21: The Kolkata Knight Riders owner, Shah Rukh Khan, may not attend the team’s next (and last) match at home, against Kings XI Punjab on Sunday, too. He was not present at the Eden last night either.

Shah Rukh has, among other things, conveyed that to the team via an emotional, highly motivational and lengthy SMS this afternoon. He also dismissed talk of differences between him and captain Sourav Ganguly and coach John Buchanan.

The team is in the capital for tomorrow’s Indian Premier League (IPL) clash against the Delhi DareDevils.

The following is the SMS, forwarded to The Telegraph by a member of the Knight Riders squad:

“Story time boys... I told you if you keep losing you have to bear with my long, boring msgs.... This is your punishment.... Many times I have made movies which don’t do well.... When I’m doing them, of course, I don’t know they won’t do well.... The story is written by somebody else and I just do my bit as an actor. But I have a way of dealing with flop stories..., I try my best to keep my character in the film at a level that it makes a failed story also special for me....

“I enjoy the work.... I make jokes about the failure.... And, of course, feel awful about it too.... So, right now, all of us have become part of a failed script... A bad IPL script.... Let’s try and keep our characters worthy of still looking back at this story and remembering it as a special story becos we all worked very hard at this....

“So, chin up and don’t spoil yr character in the next two games.... Let’s go out with a bang and not a whimper.... In films, we say u r only as good as yr last film.... So let’s make the whole world know how good we r in the last (maybe not) two games...

“Also, do ignore all this bit about Dada, me and John having issues.... It’s a normal thing in the world.... People like to hit you when u r down.... So, we will be hit.... No stress.... It will make us stronger.... The only way to avoid this is to win.... That’s one of the reasons why everybody likes to be a winner....

“On the other hand, the beauty of failure is that it brings people together.... So, let’s stick this out together.... You know me well enuff to know I am not the kind of owner who has issues with the team ’cos of losses... I am too much of a sport myself to get beaten by defeats.... Like you guys are.... Like Dada and John....

“I am still trying to understand the code of conduct expected of me at the matches of the IPL.... ICC... Etc.... After I understand it, I will decide whether to accept it or not.... Till such time, I will be with you guys at the hotel... in the meetings etc., but won’t come for the matches.... So, please don’t ever feel it is anything to do with us as a team....

“I am as dedicated to my Knights as I am to my kids.... Only, I won’t be coming to the class room till the headmaster’s rules are understood by me.... I am a bit anti-Establishment kind of a guy, so I apologise for this quirk to u all.... So, head’s up.... Have a good match and let’s make 200 runs tomorrow.... This 150 seems to not work any more....

“We have nothing to lose now, except our character.... Let’s not lose that.... Lov... SRK.”

Tuesday, May 20, 2008

Bollywood Gossip - It's Bachchans vs. Kapoors vs. SRK

Friday, April 25, 2008

Right from the times of the patriarch Raj Kapoor, the Kapoor khandaan has always had a stronghold on the Filmfare awards ceremony. This time it was no different.

This year the Best Actress Award, Filmfare 2008 went to Kareena Kapoor; the Best Debutant's Award to Ranbir Kapoor and the Lifetime Achievement Award to Rishi Kapoor. Quite evidently, it was a complete Kapoor sweep once again.

Similar to the Kapoor Khandaan, another khandaan's hoping to make a sweep. Not at the Filmfare, but at IIFA - the rival awards show that has Amitabh Bachchan as the brand Ambassador.

The Abhishek-Aishwarya starrer Guru is nominated here in almost every category. The other award staples include Yash Raj and Karan Johar's Dharma Productions.

These families represent Bollywood's traditional film families that have ruled the award ceremonies for years.

From Amitabh to Abhishek, Yash Johar to Karan Johar and Rishi to Ranbir, the stars may have changed, the filmmakers may have changed but the awards keep coming.

Critics of the system say, if you're part of the family, the trophy's yours. If not better luck next time.

According to Madhur Bhandarkar: ''I have got national Award for Chandi Bar and Page Three. But I was a little disappointed in the popular awards here. After getting a national award, Page 3 was sidelined when it came to the popular awards. I didn't know why.''

As Madhur Bhandarkar puts it, the lines are clearly drawn - between who's in which camp and who's on who's side.

So if you're a Shah Rukh Khan, you host Filmfare but don't attend IIFA. And if you're a Bachchan that's the one award you don't miss.

All your friends and those you work with walk the red carpet with you, even hand out and receive awards. And sometimes even if you've got a great film lineage, you may at best get the critics award.

''The cliquism and the incestuousness stops talent. It's again quite the Arjun-Eklavya story, thousands of years after the Mahabharata. Only Arjun can'', says Sudhir Mishra.

According to film producer, Vipul Shah, ''Why is not a film actor or film producer allowed to promote his own family? Because that happens in every business. So why should an actor or director be restricted or be criticised for doing so. Because when a businessman hands over his multicrore empire to a son over a much more learned CEO, nobody makes an issue out of that.''

But of course there are exceptions to the rule. Powerful performers like Akshay Kumar and Shah Rukh Khan, who came from the outside and built their own families - giving hope to the majority of this industry that has no family backing them.

''See people tell me that you are from Shah Rukh Khan camp, you are from this camp...we all belong to one camp. That is cinema. I am groomed in Mahesh Bhatt's so-called camp. Then I joined Shah Rukh Khan. And I have worked with Shah Rukh Khan for almost 12 years. He is like my local guardian. During these last 12 years I never felt I belong to Shah Rukh Khan's camp. I am friendly with everybody'', says Vivek Sharma, director of Bhoothnath.

Bollywood Gossip - Actor Mithun Chakraborty buys ICL's Kolkata Tigers

Friday, March 28, 2008

Following the steps of Bollywood king Shah Rukh Khan, Tollywood superstar Mithun Chakraborty has bought the Kolkata Tigers team of the Indian Cricket League (ICL).

Mithun Da, as he is popularly called in West Bengal after he shifted to the Bengali film industry from Bollywood, told IANS: 'Yes, I have bought the Kolkata Tigers of

the ICL. Thursday everything will be formally announced after completing some legal formalities.

'I have always been a sports lover and had organised the Raj Kapoor Trophy in Chembur, Mumbai, for several years where big stars played. But it was not just passion that made me buy the team, there is business in it also.'

The king of disco dance said: 'I am an entertainer and Twenty20 is a fantastic form of entertainment. There is craze and good business in it. So I decided to try my luck.' Asked how much he spent on the team, Mithun said: 'At present I cannot reveal the figure, but it is certainly a triple digit in crores (tens of millions).'

He said after completing the formalities he would go for an overhaul of the team and add to its sheen by giving it a logo along with a slogan and a theme song. On whether he wanted to rename the side Bengal Tigers, he said: 'I have strongly recommended it. Kolkata is the capital of Bengal, but my side will represent all the people of the state. I have fans in every corner of the state.'

Asked what made him go for a team in ICL and not Indian Premier League (IPL), Mithun said: 'I woke up late. The realisation that I could even own a team and make it into a profitable business venture dawned late on me.

'There is no question of competing with Shah Rukh Khan. He is one of the finest gentlemen I have come across and he gives a lot of respect to his co-stars. Besides, you can't compare our popularity. He is way above me.'

On whether his Bengal Tigers would imbibe his fighting spirit, the reigning hero of Tollywood said: 'Undoubtedly so. Life has never been a bed of roses for me. I have fought for everything and my team will be a fighter too.'

First Look: SRK's 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi'

Monday, March 24, 2008

Bollywood Gossip : The first look of Aditya Chopra - Shahrukh Khan blockbuster combo 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' is a studio still since the movie is yet to start. As is apparent it is mint fresh and oozing with youthful buoyancy. The king spins the world on his finger while that dimpled smile raises indescribable emotions in millions of hearts. Don't be surprised if new box office records are created this year once it is released on December 12.

Shahrukh Khan

The wait is over. Eight years after he last directed a film, Aditya Chopra is back helming a Yash Raj Films production. Even as his directorial debut ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’ continues its record breaking run in its 13th year, Aditya is ready to direct his third film.

After directing his second film, ‘Mohabbatein’, back in 2000, Aditya had taken a conscious break from direction to set up and develop India's first studio model making Yash Raj Films a name to reckon with. In the years that followed, YRF, under the keen eye of Aditya, produced such blockbusters as ‘Dhoom’, ‘Dhoom 2’, ‘Hum Tum’, ‘Bunty Aur Babli’, ‘Salaam Namaste’, ‘Fanaa’ and ‘Chak De India’. While Aditya was the creative producer in all these films, he also kept up with his creative juices by writing his father Yash Chopra's directorial venture ‘Veer-Zaara’ in 2004, and the stories of other films.

Aditya’s third directorial venture would be titled ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ that would star the formidable Shah Rukh Khan... indeed the jodi of Adi and SRK would once again be a treat for film audiences the world over.

Aditya would introduce a new girl opposite King Khan in the film. The hunt for a new girl is on.

The film, to be produced by Yash Chopra, would be written and directed by Aditya Chopra.

I am begging sponsors to help us live IPL dream: SRK

Friday, March 14, 2008

Shah Rukh Khan

Mumbai : They don't call him King Khan for nothing. With each passing day it appears Shah Rukh Khan is outsmarting all other team owners in the India Premier League.

This is what he had to say about the money, the excitement and the business of IPL.

On IPL bidding
"I think we got 80 to 90 per cent of what we wanted. I am very happy with it. I personally didn’t enjoy the auction, I am very odd with these kind of things. It was fun to go there but was a little embarrassing to sit and raise hands and all, so I didn't do it.

Bollywood News - Now SRK wants to take terrorism head-on

Saturday, March 1, 2008

Filmmaker Karan Johar is breaking away from larger-than-life family soaps and fairytale romances. For a change, he will make a reality movie about terrorism called Khan without songs. The movie will star Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol.

Terrorism is too grim a subject to be associated with a Karan Johar movie. But, this time around, the filmmaker has opted for the real world.

Though Johar refused to divulge the details of the script, the buzz doing the rounds in Bollywood says that the movie will be essentially about Islamic terrorism post-9/11.

'Terrorism is a reality of our time. We cannot afford to shut our eyes to it. I am taking this film as a challenge,' Johar told the media.

Shah Rukh will play the role of a peace activist who, after being kidnapped by the terrorists, has a chance to see their 'causes' from their point of view.

Industry sources said the movie is a dream-come-true for Bollywood Actor Shah Rukh. For this is one role he always wanted to play and he would often tell journalists that he had played all other kinds of roles in movies, but would like to play a terrorist if somebody offered him such a role, a source said.

Bollywoood Actor Shah Rukh had once said he had personally experienced that if one had a Muslim surname abroad, one was looked upon as a terrorist. 'In London's Heathrow airport people recognise me, but when they see my second name, they run an extra check,' he had said in a recent interview.

The movie had earlier been titled My Name Is Khan.

Bollywood News - I am just using cricket says SRK

Friday, February 29, 2008

Bollywood News - Actor Shah Rukh Khan, who owns the Kolkata team of the Indian Premier League (IPL), on Wednesday said he opted for cricket because it is commercially viable for him and not because he favoured the popular sport over other disciplines.

"Commerce and business are very important in today's world. Cricket is commercially viable and we need to

make money from this sport," Shah Rukh said in Pune.

However, Indian Olympic Association (IOA) president Suresh Kalmadi appealed to the superstar to share his celeb status with other sports also.

"I am very happy with Chak de India and the work you did for hockey. But I'm disappointed you went back to cricket. I want you to be made the ambassador of the Commonwealth Games and Olympic sports in India," said Kalmadi at the inauguration of the Abhijit Kadam Memorial Football Cup.

Shahrukh Khan [ Exclusive Bollywood Photo Gallery ]

"There are around 10 nations playing cricket at the moment and over 200 countries competing in Olympic sports. Cricket has many fathers and I would love to have you as the brand ambassador for the Commonwealth Games," he added.

However, the comments did not go well with the actor, who took a jibe at Kalmadi.

"Please don't feel bad that I am backing only one sport. Sports should be part of our second nature and I am a sportsperson by heart."

"I have played hockey and a bit of cricket. I have something to clarify to Kalmadi also... please don't feel bad that I am backing the cricket team. I need to make money from this sport and then move to other sports," added Shah Rukh.

Shah Rukh said he believes that the next step for sports-loving persons like him is to take the money he earns from IPL to other sports.

"My next step would be to take the money earned in IPL to hockey, football, kho kho, also kabaddi and gulli danda," he remarked.

The film star said one should not look down upon any sport and added he wants to see the football team playing in the World Cup.

"We should not look down upon any sport. We need to use this sport to uplift other sports."

Bollywood News - Ajay's advice to Kajol regarding SRK!

Sunday, February 24, 2008

Well do not get excited and jump to

conclusions after reading our headline, as we are not about to indulge in yellow journalism! This is a rather interesting incident that took place between Bollywood Actors Ajay Devgan, Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol. It is quite in contrast to the recent stories involving Kajol's hubby Devgan and her advice seeking SMS to Bollywood Actor Shah Rukh Khan, concerning Raju Hirani's film. And we go!

As per Mumbai based media sources, Kajol was wondering as to why her close friend Shah Rukh Khan had not replied to her SMS about doing Rajkumar Hirani's film. Seeing Kajol being worried about the same, loving hubby Ajay Devgan told her (rather coolly) to call SRK and find out, instead of getting worried the whole day and staring at her mobile, while waiting for a reply from King Khan. Needless to add that Kajol took her husband's intelligent advice rather seriously and did the same. And we know her decision regarding the matter.

For those who are still clueless, as of the moment, Aamir Khan is the only actor finalised for Rajkumar Hirani's next project based on the Indian education system.

Bollywood Gossips - Three held for using SRK's credit card

Sunday, February 17, 2008

The alertness of a sales executive at a suburban mall led to the arrest of three persons who allegedly tried to use Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan's credit card to purchase clothes, police said.

Three individuals -- Vinay Tambe, James Perenal and Shekar Jadhav, were arrested by the police in the north east suburb of Mulund on February 11 when they attempted to make purchases using Shah Rukh's credit card at a mall there.

"The three persons, who are all unemployed, have claimed that they found the credit card lying on a road in suburban Santacruz a few days earlier and took it to the mall to buy some clothes," a senior police official at the Mulund police station told PTI.

It has been verified that the credit card belonged to the actor, the official said, adding they were presently investigating how the trio had found it.

The trio purchased clothes worth approximately Rs 25,000 and one of them produced the Bollywood star's credit card at the time of paying for the garments, he said.

The sales executive who saw the transaction slip in the actor's name realised something was wrong.

Shah Rukh Khan will produce & act in children's adventure film

Monday, February 11, 2008

Bollywood Actor Shah Rukh Khan will produce, and possibly act in, a children's adventure film replete with special effects at a whopping budget of $ 25 million!

During his recent visit to Berlin for the 58th Berlin International Film

Festival Shah Rukh alluded to the film and told the press that he plans to shoot his next film in Germany.

The film, to be directed by Anubhav Sinha (Dus / Tum Bin), will tell the story of a group of children who start off by seeking adventure but then following a string of incidents turn to evil.

Speaking about the film Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan told Variety magazine, "It will be madcap, over the top. I want it to be as beautiful as Spider-Man in special effects."

I don't like being told what to do - Shah Rukh Khan

Friday, February 1, 2008

Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan has taken another dig at Union Health Minister Anbumani Ramadoss for the latter's quit-smoking-on-screen appeal to him, saying he does not like anyone telling him what to do and what not to.
Shah Rukh Khan on smoking

Shahrukh Khan

"I do not endorse smoking and I do not like anyone telling me personally what to do and what not to do," Khan said in an interview to a news channel.

"You cannot tell me how to earn a packet, you cannot tell me what to eat and what to wear, what not to say to my wife, these are personal things. So, I guard that very jealously," he said.

Ramadoss had, earlier this week, said Khan should not have smoked in the stands while watching a cricket match in Mumbai and that he and Amitabh Bachchan can learn a thing or two from superstar Rajnikanth regarding smoking on screen.

But Khan had this piece of advice for everyone. "I tell children all the time, please do not smoke because it is the worst. If I do not smoke, I would be a big movie star for many, many years to come or maybe I won't be because I smoke that is such a bad thing to do. Do not do it," he pleaded.

Khan (42) has earned the ire of anti-smoking groups on different occasions for lighting up in public in violation of a 2004 ban.

In October, the National Organisation for Tobacco Eradication slapped a legal notice on him asking him to explain his actions after he was spotted smoking at a cricket match and at a media conference.

On rumours of his entry into politics, Khan said despite

having a good relationship with the young scions of the Gandhi family, there is no question of joining politics.

"Half of the people think that I am very close to the Congress and am going to join politics. I am very close to Priyanka, Robert and Rahul. I tell everyone, I say this whenever I meet them. Why don't you ask them, are you going to join films," the actor said in the interview to be telecast on Saturday.

"I have another friend who is a software engineer. That does not mean I can design softwares like Azim Premji. So, these are my friends but what they do as a job is incidental to my relationship with them."

Khan, who set a new trend of sporting six-pack abs which he adorned in his last film "Om Shanti Om" said his son prompted him to go for the new look.

"My son told me Papa, you're fat... Though I wasn't, I didn't think I was fat. And I told him that, listen dude, I am not fat, I am okay.

"But he said no, you are fat papa... So I said okay give me some time and as this film required it..."

On his plans this year ahead, Khan said, "This year I would like to dedicate myself to make movies for kids, not childish movies but movie for kids, take technology of Indian cinema further. So I set parameters for myself and I try to work towards that."

Health Minister asks SRK, AB to stop smoking

Monday, January 28, 2008

Health Minister Anbumani Ramadoss has appealed to Bollywood stars Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan to stop smoking in movies as millions of youngsters emulate them and imbibe the bad habit.

"I have already made appeals to Shah Rukh Khan," Ramadoss said in Karan Thapar's "Devil's Advocate" programme being aired on a news channel.

"But I would be happy to do it again and say, 'Please don't smoke in your movies, Mr. Shah Rukh Khan'. I would like to make an appeal to Mr. Shah Rukh Khan and Mr. Amitabh Bachchan and all the other personalities.

"Fourteen-year-olds are taking to tobacco. India should be very, very concerned about the alarming rise of incidence of tobacco (use) amongst young people," the minister emphasised.

Criticising movies with smoking scenes, the minister said: "The movies are most responsible (for encouraging smoking). When I said movies should not have smoking scenes, we have statistics which show that 52 percent of children have their first puff of a cigarette because of movie celebrities."

When asked about Shah Rukh smoking during a recent cricket match, Ramadoss said the actor should not have done it.

Bollywood Celebrities [ Exclusive Photo Gallery ]

"Absolutely not. What was the necessity? See these are celebrities and millions of youngsters look up to these celebrities...I again say to celebrities, in whichever field they are, whether it's movies or sports, not to do these things in public."

Responding to a question if Shah Rukh and Amitabh could stop smoking like Tamil superstar Rajnikant, the minister said: "Easily, they could do it. Without a doubt."

Bollywood Gossips-Kareena loves seducing SRK

Friday, January 18, 2008

Kareena Kapoor's ultimate dream is to do a romantic movie with Shah Rukh Khan. The actress can't seem to stop gushing over her favourite actor.

"Very frankly I did the Yeh mera dil song in Don

because of Shah Rukh. My ultimate wish is to do a full-on love story with him," said the actress whose latest movie Jab We Met is a box-office hit.

"When Farhan Akhtar offered me the song I wondered if making a guest appearance was right for me. However, the temptation of doing a song with Shah Rukh got the better of me."

Kareena says she is glad she did the song. "It got me tremendous notice. My niece Samaira has become my biggest fan. She dances to the song. And the minute she sees me she starts singing Yeh mera dil pyar ka deewana," said the young Kapoor.

The actress, who is listening to new scripts every day, has given the go-ahead to only two new projects.

"I've decided I can't do run of the mill films any more. I've done enough films without conviction. And it shows in my performances. Unlike my sister Karisma who could look convincing in any role, I've to be convinced about the role."

Talk about her movie Omkara and Kareena's face brightens up.

"It's one film I'm truly proud of. I'm looking forward to working with Vishal Bharadwaj again. He's one of those rare directors who know how to tap into my potential. I need directors like Vishal and Imtiaz Ali of Jab We Met to come forward and give me a chance. That's why I've taken a long break to get my act together. I don't want to look back on my career with any regrets," she said.

SRK Bollywood's top tax payer

Sunday, January 13, 2008

It's raining money in Bollywood and it's not just how much

the top actors in the industry are earning, it's also about how much tax they are paying.

Sources say, Shah Rukh Khan has set a record of sorts by paying an advance tax of a whopping Rs 27 crore in December 2007. It is Rs nine crores more than what he paid last year. And the figure is bound to shoot up once he files his returns for the first quarter of 2008.

Actor Akshay Kumar, who has given four hits in a row this year, is in second place, his advance tax returns amount to Rs seven crore.

The Bachchans are in third, fourth and fifth place. While the Big B has filed returns of Rs 1.8 crore, son Abhishek has submitted 3.7 crore, while Aishwarya's advance tax returns total Rs 1.6 crore.

Himesh Reshammiya has been singing all the way to the bank and he has also paid a whopping Rs 2.5 crore as advance tax. Spinning sweet dreams on the silver screen is one thing. Payback time's not as sweet.

Khan is a four-letter word that spells box-office magic

Monday, January 7, 2008

Khan is a four-letter word that spells box-office magic.

When Mangal Pandey was released in 2005, Aamir Khan was asked how long his luck would work at the box office. "At least for another 20 years," he had replied.

It looks like the actor's prophecy was spot on. And that seems to hold true for the other two Khans as well.

The year 2007 was dominated by Shah Rukh, Salman and Aamir, who delivered the biggest hits of the year. The only other actor who came close to them was Akshay Kumar with hits like Namastey London, Heyy Babyy, Bhool Bhulaiya and Welcome.

One actor who could have taken on the Khan might -- Hrithik Roshan -- did not have any release.

Aamir Khan in a still from Taare Zameen ParSo it was the Khans' playground with Shah Rukh leading the pack. The stupendous success of Om Shanti Om and Chak De! India only helped solidify his King Khan status. Salman's Partner and Aamir's directorial debut Taare Zameen Par were the other big hits from the Khan fraternity.

So exactly how does the Khan magic work?

According to Spice Marketing Communication Agency trade analyst Prabhat Chaudhary, "All these Khans are pre-liberalisation period heroes and have established a certain fan following. Their audiences and fan base have grown up with them so to watch their films is like an event for Indian families.

"There is a generation of loyalty in Indian families for the Khans and that has remained the same," he adds. "This generation just refuses to let them go. That loyalty base has not shifted to any other hero in the last so many years and that is the reason for the Khans' rule."

And so year after year, for the last 20 years, one of the Khans has always managed to deliver some of the biggest hits at the box office. If Aamir started the hit trend with the success of Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, Salman continued the run with Maine Pyaar Kiya, followed by Shah Rukh's Baazigar and Darr.

Salman Khan in a still from PartnerSalman then followed up with the smash hit Hum Aapke Hai

Kaun. Not to be outdone, Shah Rukh delivered the all time hit, Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge.

And the Khan gold rush did not stop there. Up next was Aamir's Raja Hindustani followed by Sarfarosh and then the Oscar-nominated Lagaan.

Dogged by controversies galore, Salman's popularity never dipped. His film Tere Naam created a record of sorts at the box office by getting the biggest opening in 2003.

So does having a Khan surname guarantee success in Bollywood? "It is not like that," says trade analyst Vinod Mirani. "They have done good work and all three -- Aamir, Salman and Shah Rukh -- have gained from it.

"There were other Khans too in between -- Zayed, Fardeen and even Arbaaz -- but none of them clicked in a big way," he continues. "The only other Khan that clicked off late was Saif Ali Khan after Hum Tum became a big hit."

About Saif's success, Mirani says, "It is a question of sustainability in the industry. One has to sustain for long and there is a great chance that one or the other film will click for sure."

Mirani points out that Amitabh "Bachchan too had 12 flops in a row before he delivered a hit in Zanjeer. He didn't give up and tried till he succeeded. Once you succeed then a couple of flops are pardonable in the industry because you have already created a loyal fan base."

So is it just sheer doggedness that guarantees success?

According to another trade analyst, Taran Adarsh, "One has to admit the fact that all three -- Aamir, Shah Rukh and Salman -- have worked hard to become successful. They have always chosen the best scripts for their films and so also (have had)luck, which everyone needs in life."

Shah Rukh Khan in a still from Om Shanti OmSo will the same hold true for the others?

On condition of anonymity, a trade analyst points out, "Sparks were shown by Ranbir Kapoor, Shahid Kapur and even Neil Mukesh. They are good but they still have a long way to go. Till then, the Khans will rule.

"Indian families," he continues, "keep some money aside from their monthly budget to watch a Khan film and that is going on for the last 15 years. That is a worrisome trend because the film industry has not produced any new big stars."

Till it does, we have the Khans.

Ask what works for him at the box office, Salman Khan told rediff.com an interview, "It is my ability to pick up the right scripts. I am a writer's son (Salim Khan of Salim-Javed fame) and I know which film will work and that is the reason my films work.

"I can pinpoint the script that will catch the fancy of the audience and will never let it go," he added. "I put a great deal of attention on it, and therefore my films work.

"I feel everything is destiny," he continued. "If something good is written in your fate it will happen and that is what has happened to me. If I was not an actor, I would have been a painter probably."

Priyadarshan: He's the only director in 2007 with delivered two hits, a minor Dhol and a major Bhool Bhulaiyya. Priyan sure has come a long way.

Gauri Khan, Vogue's cover girl

Thursday, December 20, 2007

Shah Rukh Khan has every reason to preen. No, it doesn't have anything to do with his six packs. Rather, it's his wife Gauri Khan who is the center of attention.

The mother of two has been chosen as the cover girl of Vogue India for its January edition.

The pictures were shot against the eight-floor extension of the Khans' sprawling home, Mannat.

'This is not my profession,' Gauri said. 'It has to be something really new and unusual to make me want to do something like this. I did enjoy the shoot but to be honest, I wouldn't do it very often."

"This collaboration between Gauri and Vogue India is a natural fit," says Priya Tanna, Editor Vogue India. "It is her first solo cover and a coup of sorts for Vogue. That she is stylish, enigmatic, and poised is known, but at the shoot we saw another side of her, that of a cover girl. Even in the frames she shares with Shah Rukh Khan, she holds her own impressively. She offers delightful peeks into her life, her wardrobe and her man. Gauri is a true Voguette."

The issue will hit newsstands on December 20.

Amitabh, Shah Rukh to clash as Don

Wednesday, December 19, 2007

It looks like the senior and junior Don, Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan, will battle it out at the box office.

While Farhan Akhtar prepares to plunge into a sequel to his 2006 hit Don - The Chase Begins Again, with Shah Rukh in the lead, the family of Nariman Irani, who made the original Don in 1978 with Amitabh Bachchan, is all set to do their own take on the film with the Big B again.

Speaking on the subject for the first time, the Big B told IANS: "Yes, they (Nariman Irani's family) met me some time back. I'm yet to hear the script."

However, Farhan seems to be completely in the dark regarding this parallel project.

"I've no idea of this. We've very close relations with the Irani family. We've been very clear with each other. When they gave us the rights for remaking Don they gave us the right to exploit the movie for the next three-four years. We had even told them we might be doing a sequel. And they were really cool about it.

"They didn't seem interested in going back and doing anything Don related. From the outset they've been straight with us. I don't think they'd just go around announcing another movie."

But with the Iranis having approached Amitabh, a clash of creative interest between the two Dons featuring the Big B and Shah Rukh seems inevitable.

SRK voted sexiest Asian man in the world

Friday, November 23, 2007

New Delhi: Is 40's the new 20's? Well, leading British-Asian weekly

newspaper, Eastern Eye

definitely thinks so. The paper has listed 42-year-old Superstar Shah Rukh Khan as the Sexiest Asian Man In the World.

Displacing a much-younger Abhishek Bachchan from last year's numero uno position, Shah Rukh seems to have muscled his position to the top slot thanks to his newly-acquired six-pack and the boyish-pony tail.

Other hunks among the top on the list are Hrithik Roshan at No 2 and scoring a goal at No 3 is John Abraham. Mind-you, both of them at least a decade younger to King Khan.

So with the newly-acquired title, SRK can have a double dose of celebration, what with the stomping success of his latest film, Om Shanti Om.

Shah Rukh Khan apologises to Manoj Kumar

Friday, November 16, 2007

After veteran actor Manoj Kumar threatened to sue filmmaker Farah Khan and actor Shah Rukh Khan for aping him in their newest film, Om Shanti Om, SRK has come forward with an apology.

Denying that there was a "conspiracy to humilit

ate and ridicule Manoj Kumar", Shah Rukh Khan said, "I don't want to hurt anyone. I dont think this film should be taken seriously, it's a comedy."

He also said that since Manoj Kumar had not said anything to him in person, he would not take it otherwise.

"Elderly people get jolted. Our fathers and grandfathers do that. I have a lot of respect for Manoj Kumar and I admit we should have been more careful," Shah Rukh added.

In a lighter vein he said, "I have been copying actors for the past 15 years. I never took anyone's permission. I think I should have called him to take his permission."

He also said that they have been getting a lot of messages from actors appreciating their work in the film and calling it a tribute to Indian cinema.

Earlier on Friday, Manoj Kumar had told CNN-IBN, "People who make such movies do not know the meaning of respect and decency. They are criminals."

The actor who gave a new definition to patriotism on celluloid said that the scene in Om Shanti Om — where his young double is shown being beaten up by the police outside a theatre — is in bad taste.

In yet another scene, Shah Rukh is shown giving a mock thank-you speech in a drunken state and later saying he's Manoj Kumar.

Om Shanti Om, Farah Khan’s second directorial venture after Main Hoon Na, hit screens across India on November 9. The film stars newcomer Deepika Padukone opposite Shah Rukh Khan.

Despite SRK, Deepika makes impact in 'Om Shanti Om'

Monday, November 12, 2007

Although 'Om Shanti Om' is an out-and-out Shah Rukh Khan film, newcomer Deepika Padukone shines through. Be it her grace, poise, dignity and class as a '70s diva or as the spunky contemporary girl in the latter half, the actress plays both roles with commendable finesse and elan.

The film, released Friday, had a phenomenal opening, thanks to the pre-release publicity.

The lovely Deepika, former world badminton champion Prakash Padukone's daughter, literally lights up the screen whenever she comes on. She holds her own in every frame, even when pitted against the larger-than-life superstar Shah Rukh. The newcomer has a beautiful smile and expressive eyes, which she uses to mirror the character's feelings.

"Deepika's performance is so good that you forget she is a newcomer. She is very fresh and her body language exudes oodles of confidence," says Anuradha, who saw the film on Diwali day.

"Shah Rukh's energetic performance is not able to overshadow Deepika. Her emoting is faultless. She carries off the '70s look as well as micro minis equally well," said Geetika Sahai.

While Shah Rukh's fans have lapped up the film, critics too have given favourable reviews. But most seem to have skipped commenting on the film's flaws. They have deliberately brushed its weaknesses under the carpet. But, never mind, the film on the whole is entertaining.

While in "Chak De! India", Shah Rukh slipped under the skin of his character and wowed with his stupendous performance, he disappoints in 'Om Shanti Om'. The superstar is repetitive and does overact at times in the first half. He needs to curtail his unwarranted superstar mannerisms even in a total masala film like 'Om Shanti Om'.

Apart from Deepika, another actor who makes an impact is Arjun Rampal. Farah Khan has done justice to the model-turned-actor by giving him a negative role in which he has proved his mettle. Arjun is able to bring the same kind of

unscrupulous cold-blooded feel to his character just like villains of the early '70s.

He plots to kill Deepika, a successful actress who is secretly married to him, because she is pregnant and it poses a threat to his ambitions and career, and succeeds.

Talented Shreyas Talpade, as Shah Rukh's chum, is equally impressive.

'Om Shanti Om' is entertaining, but script-wise weak. Director Farah Khan could have worked on the script a little more to make the takeoff on the '70s golden era funnier. The imitation and spoofs are enjoyable, though at times weak. The finer details of that era are missing.

The film doesn't look like an ode to the golden era of Bollywood, as Farah claims it to be; rather it looks like a satire.

Laxmi Mittal to walk for SRK

Leisceter Square in London will be glittering with the glitterati on Thursday night at the premiere of Om Shanti Om. It is not often that one will get to see the likes of Hollywood actresses like Emma Thompson and steel magnate Laxmi Mittal at the premiere of a Bollywood film.

According to the man in the spotlight, actor Shah Rukh Khan, there will be some special people at the premiere including Emma Thompson and Laxmi Mittal. According to the actor, they are very dear friends of his and he will be extremely glad to get the opportunity to catch up with them as well. The idea to have a premiere in London according to SRK is to attract the global audience and not just the Indian diaspora.

The other factor behind the London premiere was that the film’s distributors, Eros International are based out of London as well. SRK has fond memories of Leisceter Square as he had held the premiere of another of his home productions, Asoka also at the same venue in 2002. That too was a little before Diwali. Chak De also premiered in London. So in a way, London is a little special for SRK. Unpreturbed by the fact that Saawariya premiered last night in Mumbai, the Om Shanti Om team is going to go all out and celebrate the event.

The red carpet before the screening will also be a great photo opportunity for the entire cast of the film, including Deepika Padukone, her parents Prakash and Ujjwala; Arjun Rampal, and of course, SRK himself walking the carpet with his special guests.

Shahrukh Khan wants to remake "Deewar"

Wednesday, October 31, 2007

Bollywood Actor Shah Rukh Khan has been found following the footsteps of Amitabh Bachchan

very often of late - be it hosting the Kaun Banega Crorepati telecasted on Star Plus, or then being the modern age movie Don directed by Farhan Akhtar.

And now the latest bollywood gossip doing the rounds is that Shah Rukh Khan is very much keen towards the remake of Amitabh Bachchan's starrer movie Deewar. Infact he seems to have already finalized the star-cast of the team and has even approached the original director of Deewar, Yash Chopra to direct the movie again.

It seems that Shahrukh Khan is very fond of Amitabh Bachchan's character 'Vijay' in the classion action

movie of 1975 and wants to play a similar role like what he has played in the movie Don.

As per Bollywood Rumours, Shahrukh Khan wants the hot pair Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor to play the roles of 'Ravi Verma' and 'Veera' which were originally played by Bollywood Actors Shashi Kapoor and Neetu Singh.

Priyanka Chopra, who was seen along with Shahrukh Khan in the movie Don would be playing the role of the bar dancer 'Anita' with whom Vijay has pre-premarital sex. This role was originally played by Parveen Babi.

Most of the people in Bollywood still consider it as a Gossip which remains the same at Yash Chopra's Office. Some predict that this movie would be produced by Shahrukh Khan himself under his own banner Red Chilies Entertainment thus creating a big question whether Shahrukh has acquired the rights of the movie or not.

Why is Aamir Khan missing in the Deewangi song of Om Shanti Om ?

Monday, October 29, 2007

Pictures from Om Shanti Om

According to sources, Shah Rukh and Farah Khan were inspired by a song from Amitabh’s hit movie Naseeb - John, Johnny, Janardan . It is also believed that Shah Rukh’s wife Gauri Khan and friends like Karan Johar and Rohan Sippy tried hard to convince the Bachchans, but finally it was Farah who managed to convince them.

Pictures from Om Shanti Om

Why did Aamir Khan refuse to be part of OSO ? Aamir is not in the song. Farah Khan had approached him but he was too busy shooting his film Ghajini and wasn’t able to be a part of her film. She wish that she could bring Aamir, Shah Rukh and Salman dancing together in her film.

Dont smoke in public Shahrukh !

A legal notice was issued by an NGO - National Organisation for Tobacco Eradication for smoking in public against Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan during two recent events.

Shahrukh Khan has been found smoking at two public places i.e., the Twenty20 cricket match in Mumbai and Hindustan Times Summit in Delhi.

"Images of Shahrukh Khan inhaling smoke were shown on Doordarshan channel during the telecast of the Twenty20 cricket match in Mumbai on October 20. The national television channel's telecast of such outrageous images is another act worth condemnation," general secretary Dr. Shekhar Salkar said.

Priof to this incident, Shahrukh was shown with a lighted cigartte in his hand while sitting on the dias during the Hindustan Times summit in Delhi on October 12 and 13.

"A superstar, imitated and adored by millions cannot lend a helping hand to promote smoking," Salkar added.

Shah Rukh Khan faces extra airport security checks

Thursday, October 25, 2007

Top Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan says his Muslim surname

gets him put through extra security checks outside India, particularly at London's Heathrow airport.

Khan said that in the past his name was recognized overseas, and he easily cleared his own and his movie crew's baggage.

However, due to tighter security his Hindu assistant is now able to clear his bags faster the Khan could.

''These days I am the one who is stopped so ... he carries my bags,'' the actor was quoted as saying. ''Internationally, if you have a Muslim surname you might be considered a terrorist.''

Khan will soon be acting in well-known Indian filmmaker Karan Johar's film, 'My name is Khan'. The movie is about how people with Muslim names are viewed with suspicion internationally after the terror attacks in the United States on Sept. 11, 2001.

Aamir Khan declined special appearance in ‘Om Shanti Om’

Tuesday, October 9, 2007

Farah Khan had approached Aamir Khan for the mother-of-all item song in the Shah Rukh Khan starrer Om Shanti Om , which features around thirty top Bollywood stars of the last few decades.

In fact, it was Farah’s desire to bring Sanjay Dutt

, SRK, Aamir, Salman Khan and Saif Ali Khan , together on-screen for the first time ever.

However, Aamir pleaded his inability to shoot for the film, saying that he was busy shooting for his directorial debut venture, Taare Zameen Pe .

Aamir added that his participation in the song would delay not only ‘Taare Zameen Pe’ but also his new film, which is a remake of Ghajini .

‘Taare Zameen Pe’ is the directorial debut venture of Aamir and stars Aamir in the main lead who will be playing the teacher to a dyslexic child played by Darsheel Safary. Also produced by Aamir, the film will have music by the trio, Shankar Ehsan Loy with lyrics by Prasoon Joshi . A small part of the film was recently shot near the New Era High School in Panchgani. A release date for ‘Taare Zameen Pe’ has not been officially announced.

‘Ghajini’ is the Hindi adaptation of the Tamil film ‘Ghajini’ to be directed by A. R. Murugadoss. The original version of the film was inspired by Christopher Nolan’s critically acclaimed Memento. The film depicts the life of an anterograde amnesiac, in search for the man who murdered his wife. Ghajini will feature Aamir, Asin and Jiah Khan in lead roles. AR Rahman will be scoring the music for the film.

Wait to be over - OSO's 'Deewangee' to be out on Id

Monday, October 8, 2007

Ever since the promotion of OM SHANTI OM began, all eyes were set on one song - 'Deewangee'. Clearly the best of the lot that Vishal-Shekhar have to offer in their soundtrack for this Farah Khan film, the song was much anticipated, also due to the presence of 31 stars in it.

Come 'Id' and the song would finally be all over the music channels with the teasers already making a round in the internet world. Just on hearing the audio, one got hooked to the song. A sure shot chartbuster which could well have been the opening number for the film's promotion, 'Deewangi Deewangi' is what qualifies as a trademark number which could have been lapped up by Yash Raj Films or Dharma Productions.

Singers like Shaan, Udit Narayan, Shreya Ghoshal, Sunidhi Chauhan and Rahul Saxena (heard in Indian Idol) ensure that there is not a single dull moment in this instant-attention-grabbing track.

Boasting of the innocence in melody that was witnessed in the 70s and now presented in the 21st century 'avtar' with a fusion of 'qawalli', 'bhangra' and western arrangements, 'Deewangi Deewangi' that also incorporates the sound of 'Om Shanti Om', is all set to lit up the screen when it is played.

The song also appears in a remix version which is termed as 'Rainbow Mix'. The other songs which have already been aired across all channels and have found instant appreciation are the love song 'Aankhon Mein Teri', dance number 'Dard-E-Disco' and the romantic 'Main Agar Kahoon' where Shahrukh Khan serenades Deepika Padukone.

'Dard-e-Disco is a dumb song'

Tuesday, October 2, 2007

If you see Dhol and the other all-boys' comedies, you would agree dumbing -down is the order of the Friday.

Nevertheless Javed Akhtar's rhyming scheme in the track Dard-e-disco in Om Shanti Om comes as a bit of a shocker.

The lyric goes, " Dil mein mere hai dard-e-disco…. Phirta hoon main New York, Paris, LA, San Francisco…Dil mein mere hai dard-e-disco…Wohchhod gaya mujhe peechle mahiney ke 26 taarikh ko…Dil Mein mere hai dard-e-disco …

Er…. . It's the time to disco for Javed Saab. After Gulzar's dime-store prattle in Jhoom Baraabar Jhoom it's the the other bard's turn to get verse.

Laughs Javed Saab, "You must understand every song in a film has to go with the given situation and character. The dumbing-down, as you call it, in Dard-e-disco comes from the fact that the guy who sings it, a is a bit of silly goose, not exactly intellectually equipped to sprout poetry.

In the film-within-a-film in Om Shanti Om it's shown that the hero (played by Shah Rukh) insists that an absurd song be composed for him to sing and dance on stage.

While writing lines I had to constantly keep reminding myself that the song wasn't for Shah Rukh but the character that the Star plays in a film within the film. We had to constantly keep checking my poetry to make sure it didn't sound intelligent. Every time I'd come up with a poetic image I'd be shouted down. "

We've had instances of lyricists trying to sound more poetic than they are capable of being. This is the first occasion when a poet actually had to scale down his skills to accommodate the character's intellect.

Gauri Khan in Om Shanti Om

Sunday, September 23, 2007

Hot gossips is going on that we will see soon gauri khan soon acting in "Om shanti Om" .For the first time ever , Gauri will play a little walk-in role in this film produced by her self.

The scene depicts Gauri to walk a red carpet for a song at the end of the movie as the credits come on. Typically Farah, the technicians and crew members of the movie take a bow too in this number. Farah had tried earlier in vain to convince the elusive Mrs Khan to make a guest appearance in her first movie, Main Hoon Na . “But she ditched me. I think, Shah Rukh convinced her to do it this time,” said Farah.
Gauri is said to get bored very easily of the takes and several retakes while shooting.

“She has no patience, that’s why we don’t try to get her in front of the camera,” explained Farah. “However, for this shot, she just had to step out of a car and walk the red carpet waving to the crowd like a star.” According to the director, Gauri did not require to put in much effort for this scene. “She is very natural before the camera and is poised and stylish even otherwise,” said Farah. “Next time, I’ll try and get her to do an entire song!”

That Gauri is a style diva in Bollywood, is known. Men are also reported to find her hot! And she has constantly attracted the attention of ad filmmakers and movie producers who have all tried unsuccessfully to lure her onto the screen. Mira Nair was one of them.

Monday, September 10, 2007

Here’s a massive treat for all SRK fans… a trailer of SRK’s most awaited song from Om Shanti Om showing him bare chested and positively drop dead gorgeous.

Dancing to the catchy number Dard-E-Disco, the King Khan sure looks positively yummy as he steps out water wearing nothing but low riding jeans. And don’t worry that’s not the only scene where you get to ogle SRK – for the rest of the song the superstar is seen sporting an open shirt. Khan has been working vigorously in the gym for the past couple of months to ensure that he got the right body for the song. From completely turning his diet around to hitting the gym for hours every day, Khan has made sure that the first time that all Bollywood buffs see King Khan in the buff they are left nothing short of mesmerized.
