Bollywood Gossip - SRK to give up smoking?
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 News - Disney to launch 'Tare Zameen Par' DVD
Tuesday, July 22, 2008
Bollywood News : Walt Disney Studios has acquired the home-video rights for Tare Zameen Par for the US market, reports Our Bureau from New Delhi.

The US entertainment major is looking at a mainstream DVD launch of the movie rather than just concentrating on NRI pockets.

As per sources, Disney acquired the rights for an estimated Rs 5 crore. Rather than dubbing the movie in English, Disney would release the movie with English sub-titles.

According to Aamir Khan Production (AKPL) and PVR Pictures, this the first time that an American major has picked up home-video rights for an Indian movie for a mainstream launch.

When contacted, an AKPL official said: "The film has done well on the overseas box office, especially in the US. Now that Disney is planning a mainstream launch for the movie in the US, we hope it does well in the home-video space too."

He added that the movie was picked up by Disney as it caters to children's issues.

"Jaane Tu..." rakes in Rs.150 mn first week!
Saturday, July 19, 2008
Bollywood News Mumbai, July 18 (IANS) : Romantic flick "Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na" has broken the dry spell at the box-office, grossing nearly Rs.150 million in the first week of its release.

This revenue figure could be because of the high-ticket prices in the multiplexes but it is nonetheless a windfall for a movie starring mostly newcomers.

A joint venture of Aamir Khan Productions and PVR Cinema, the film is Aamir's nephew Imran's debut vehicle.

Even for Genelia D'Souza, who earlier appeared in three Hindi movies, "Jaane Tu..." is her first Bollywood hit in a leading role.

The movie's whopping success has firmly consolidated her position in the industry, shadowing her rising career down South.

Incidentally, the box-office dominance of "Jaane Tu..." has created worries for producers whose movies are due for release.

Last week, producer Jagdish Sharma's "Good Luck" and director Mani Shankar's "Mukhbiir" could not be released in many of the multiplexes as the management suddenly increased the additional screens available there for "Jaane Tu..." keeping public demand for the movie

India’s first crorepatni - Prajyoti Samal
Saturday, June 21, 2008
Bollywood Gossip : Meet Prajyoti Samal from Bhuvaneshwar who remarks that she is quite literally from many places in India! She is the first woman to win a crore on a reality show on Indian television that too in SRK's Kya Aap Paanchvi Pass Se Tez Hain.

Born in Bhuvaneshwar, Pragjyoti has studied under many South Indian teachers, works in a software firm in Kolkata and has auditioned for Paanchvi Pass from Bhopal.

Her diverse background has helped her learn many languages which she uses in her everyday conversations and now her family and friends are quite used to it.

Pragjyoti, who is single, was one of the zillions of contestants who’d SMS to the question that flashed on the screens to gain entry to Paachvi Pass. “All contestants had to appear for a test on the phone, followed by a written test as well as camera audition rounds.”

The contestant has not yet decided what she will do with the prize. The cheque will be hers after the episode airs. “It has yet to sink in… maybe after the telecast it will. As they say: I will cross the bridge when I come to it.”

Samal is a big SRK fan now.

While talking to press she told, “Initially, I was nervous. But when I met him, he made me very comfortable. I felt he was a friend, who I'd met weeks ago. I never felt that I was meeting the Badshah of Bollywood. Now, I am a big fan of him and respect him even more”.

We hear that Shah Rukh Khan's game show may go off air as early as by the end of July. In TRP terms the game show was never good enough for King Khan. Its TRP never went beyond 4.

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 - Sizzling Amisha Patel in Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic
Sunday, June 15, 2008
Bollywood Gossip : Amisha Patel has dared to bare in the latest offering from the Yash Raj Studios.

In new promo shots for Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic, the actress is seen baring plenty of skin and displaying her lush assets to the oomphiest level.

Can anyone find the Censor Board frowning?????

But we are certainly not complaining about this because she has toned up pretty well and looks sizzling sensational in her glamorous and sexy new avatar in the song “Lazy Lamhe“, the sensuous steamy number where Bollywood Actress Amisha seduces Saif Ali Khan.

It isn’t just Amisha''s career that’s doing well, but her personal life as well. Miss Amisha who kept a low-profile since her break-up with long time beau Vikram Bhatt recently stepped out with a new boyfriend (Delhi-based-businessman Kanav Puri).

Looks like Kanav is not only boosting her ego; but his presence is boosting her career as well! We say he’s a keeper!


Good Luck Amisha!!

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.”
