Aishwarya and Shahrukh come together again!

We are pretty sure that a million of Aishwarya Rai’s fans have been waiting to see her make a come back on screen.

We have some good news for you all. Ash is all set to be seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s long pending project Bajirao Mastani. And if buzz is to be believed, Ash will be seen opposite Shahrukh Khan.

It is heard that Bhansali even dropped by Jalsa and met Ash to discuss about the film. However, the film won’t be going on floor anytime soon as Ash has to give a cent percent attention to her little baby. There are chances for the film to roll sometime mid 2012.

This will be Ash’s fourth film the the Baadshah Khan.

SRK drops dancing shoes for action song

Trust Shah Rukh Khan and Farhan Akhtar to do the unthinkable. The two artistes, who have teamed up again for Don 2, are giving Bollywood choreography a new twist. On Wednesday, filmmaker-actor Farhan finished shooting a video for the song Mujhko Pehchaan Lo… for the sequel to his 2006 hit at Yash
Raj Studio.
Interestingly, unlike other music videos that have dance moves, this one has been shot like an action sequence by choreographer Vaibhavi Merchant and Farhan. As a result, the audiences will now get to see a lot more action and stunts instead of the same old archetypal dance moves.

“It has come out very nicely. It was a collective decision by Farhan, Shah Rukh and Vaibhavi, and the entire song looks sleek and stylish,” says a unit member.

The director too is excited about the final product. “Instead of an oft-repeated song-and-dance treatment, we’ve opted to visualise the song as an action scene. And to see Don vanquish his opponents while casually singing the words is surreal, but very intriguing,” says Farhan.

Merchant, who has worked on songs like Kajra Re… and Chance Pe Dance… in the past, finds the entire experience “unique”. She says, “Shah Rukh is lip syncing and performing some stunts for the song. All of this is a very unique experience for me.” Don 2 that also stars Priyanka Chopra hits theatres on December 23.

Kareena is frantic about Shahrukh


Kareena Kapoor has worked with many top-notch actors of Bollywood but her thirst has still not satisfied as she did not get an opportunity to act opposite the King Khan, Shahrukh Khan. She had a small part with him in Don but the actress wanted some more of Shahrukh Khan. She is angry as no filmmakers till date approached her to act alongside Shahrukh Khan.

The actress said, “I’d love to work with SRK again. I’m sure something is in the wings.” Kareena too knows that Shahrukh also wanted to work with her and she is hopeful that they will be staring together in a promising project. “I don’t want to talk about it and jinx it, but I know that in his heart SRK knows that I want to work with him and we will work together”.

Kareena rubbishes the report that she and Shahrukh Khan are not in good terms, “Gauri, SRK, Saif and I are very close; we’re always dining at each others’ homes.”We hope, very soon Kareena gets an opportunity to work with Shahrukh.

Shah Rukh Turns Fauji Khan!


He might have reached the pinnacle of the showbiz industry but Shahrukh Khan hasn't forgotten the show that gave birth to him. It was 1988 Doordarshan show Fauji which gave India one of its biggest stars. Shahrukh who had played the army man Lt. Abhimanyu Rai more than two decades ago is all set to remake the serial. Sources close to SRK say that Red Chillies Entertainment will be producing the show.

This will be Shahrukh's re-entry into Television soap opera after a gap of 20 years when he last starred in the show 1989 show Circus. Apart from Fauji and Cirus Shahrukh had also acted in the soaps Dil Dariya and Doosra Keval making him India's most successful Bollywood star who migrated from the small screen.

Shah Rukh is a Funny Man: Big B


Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan says Shah Rukh Khan left him in a jovial mood after the latter called him to confirm his presence at the premiere of upcoming film "Paa".
"Shah Rukh has remained with me in the late afternoon. He is a very funny man and shakes me into joviality when I inform him about the premiere and his absolute presence there. He tells me, `He is already there, black suited and with anticipation of seeing `Paa`," Amitabh posted on bigb.bigadda.com.

"Aamir too communicates today and confirms his presence," he added.

The cast and crew of "Paa" - including Amitabh, Abhishek and director R Balakrishnan have major plans for the film`s premiere December 3 in Mumbai.

Amitabh plays a 12-year-old progeria patient in "Paa" and he had to stick on several pieces of specially crafted clay to get the right look for the movie. The disease causes premature ageing among children.

International make-up artist Stephan Dupuis designed Big B`s look and the megastar had to sit for five-six hours for the make-up.

The 67-year-old says he is now anxious about how the audience and critics will react to the film.

"Slowly but surely the jig saw puzzle will begin to unfold. The test of all our hours and hours of effort at the film shall now be up for scrutiny. And within two hours and 14 minutes the verdict shall be passed. Once passed, shall remain passed. Such is the destiny of those that participate in this wondrous game of filmmaking," he said.

The film is releasing December 4.

Ranbir beats SRK!


Shah Rukh Khan might be the undisputed King of Bollywood, but it's Ranbir Kapoor who reigns in the world of PR strategy and popularity.

In a survey conducted by Eikona, the Specialised Content and PR Measurement Evaluation Unit division of TAM (Television Audience Measurement)

Across four cities of Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata and Bangalore, Ranbir Kapoor has got the maximum votes - 39 points out of 40.

As the top actor who has garnered maximum publicity because of the publicity campaign generated for Wake Up Sid.

Sanjay Dutt is a close second at (37). But strangely, SRK is at the bottom of the list.

(on number 10) in terms of PR and media coverage managing only 4 points out of 40.

Even the media-shy Salman Khan beats SRK with a score of 21 while Aamir tops Salman with 25. Hrithik Roshan comes third with a score of 32.

So what's the reason for this Kapoor boy's popularity? Ranbir tells a daily, "I really don't know if I should be thankful or apologetic about it. I guess it's also because of the multiplex strike that three films of mine are releasing back to back. But I will make a conscious effort next time to space my releases."

In an interview to a daily, Karan Johar says, "If Ranbir tops the list it's because of his publicity done for Wake Up Sid for which I would like to thank his efficient publicist. I would also thank Ranbir for being so supportive about our PR strategy.

Both Ranbir, my publicist, publicity designer Divya and Ayaan (Mukherjee) have all worked to promote and project Ranbir and Wake Up Sid the correct manner. If Ranbir has created a buzz it's because we have targeted the demography of the youth and we all know that the youth dictates a large section of viewing audiences today. It's all about youth power."

Surprisingly, Karan's best friend Shah Rukh is seen at the bottom of the list. KJo defends SRK, "Shah Rukh is above any ratings. He won't come under any ratings. He is a national and international icon and not to be put into these ratings. Which product won't sell if Shah Rukh endorses it? He's almost the face of the entertainment world above and beyond ratings."

Shah Rukh 'Black Belt' Khan!!!


The South Korean embassy will Thursday confer two special honours on Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan here.

"The Korean government has decided to confer an honorary belt in taekwondo to Shah Rukh and they are also giving him the title of an honorary ambassador for culture and tourism," Shah Rukh's spokesperson told on phone from Mumbai.

The event will take place at the Taj Lands End hotel here.

According to his spokesperson, the talks for the honour had been underway for "a couple of days".

This will be Shah Rukh's second international honour this year after he was presented an honorary doctorate in arts and culture by Bedfordshire University in London for his contribution to culture in July.

For the doctorate, the 43-year-old was nominated by Routes to Roots, an NGO that works across the SAARC region to bring South Asian people together, in recognition of his exceptional achievement as a film actor and producer.

Shah Rukh never got a gift from Gauri


Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan may have won many national and international awards, including 14 Filmfare trophies, but surprisingly he never got any gift from his wife Gauri in their 24-year-old relationship.

"Gauri has not given me a single gift....And the excuse she gives is 'What can I give a man who has everything including me?'," the actor said.

While talking with his director-friend Farah Khan on her celebrity chat show Tere Mere Beach Mein, to be broadcast on Sunday on Star Plus, the 42-year-old Baadshah of Bollywood also revealed that his wife usually doesn't accept his gifts either.

"Normally all the gifts I've given Gauri in the last 24 years, she always accepts it and gives me a casual hug in front of all but 99.9 per cent of the times she returns the gift and takes something else in its place," Shah Rukh said.

Recalling an old incident, Shah Rukh said that his wife had once secretly exchanged his T-shirts for a handbag in London.

"I was in London after my spine injury and I bought some oversized T-shirts. I couldn't wear them so I asked Gauri to get them exchanged. But she told me that in London we can't do that," the actor said.

"Later my friends told me that Gauri had exchanged the T-shirts and got a hand-bag for herself saying since I was in hospital what would I do with the new T-shirts, instead a handbag will be more useful," he added.

When Shah Rukh was insecure about Gauri


Star wife Gauri Khan is known for flaunting stylish clothes, but very few know that her superstar husband Shah Rukh Khan barred her from wearing skirts and T-shirts while they were dating because he was insecure about her.

"I wouldn't like it if Gauri left her hair loose. She's so beautiful that I used to stop her from wearing mini skirts or T-shirts. But I promised her the minute we get married, I'd never behave in such a rotten manner," Shah Rukh told his friend Farah Khan on chat show Tere Mere Beach Mein.

The 43-year-old stressed that he was insecure about Gauri till he got married in 1991 because "I didn't know if she belonged to me like I belonged to her".

And now Gauri is not only seen as one of the most stylish women in Bollywood, Shah Rukh says their son Aryan considers her the most beautiful lady, even above Hollywood star Angelina Jolie.

"Today, if she returns from a party wearing a long skirt even Aryan asks her not to wear it as he doesn't like her in long covered clothes," added Shah Rukh.

The special episode will be aired on Saturday at 9 p.m.

If not an actor, Shah Rukh would have been a Man U player!


For all those who know Shah Rukh Khan as the eternal lover boy of Bollywood, there’s news! It’s been revealed that before becoming an actor, Shah Rukh was just another Delhi lad who was an Economics student of Delhi University’s Hans Raj College, and always dreamt of joining the London School of Economics.
Talking to a news daily recently, the actor reminisced about his college days and said that he used to spend endless hours outside Kirori Mal College hoping that one fine day he will become as famous as Amitabh Bachchan!

Shah Rukh maintained, “I was very fond of Economics. I got 72 percent marks and I personally think that was a good enough percentage. Post Hans Raj, I wanted to join the London School of Economics but that didn’t happen. But I tell all the people I meet to read and write as much as they can. I tell my kids – Aryan and Suhana– to read a lot, as it is studying and acquiring more knowledge all the time that helps one in the long run.”

A nostalgic Shah Rukh added, “I remember going to the canteen but I have to admit that I wasn’t very social in college. But I do miss going to the canteen. I also miss my co-students and the hostellers’ fights. I was a keen sportsperson aur main bahut khelta tha. My favourite sport was football. I have fond memories of my bike too.”

Speaking his love for acting, SRK said that it was during his college days where he developed keen interest in acting as, “I remember, my friends and I used to go and stand outside Kirori Mal College. We used to stand there for hours and look at the building, its gate and at the students going in and out of the college and say, ‘Kaash koi humein bhi, Amit ji ki tarah filmon mein kaam de de.’”

When solicited what would he have been if not an actor, an amused SRK said, “Either been a teacher or a Manchester United player – I know that for a fact!”

Shah Rukh to receive honorary Doctorate from British university


Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has been nominated to receive an honorary doctorate in arts and culture from Britain`s University of Bedfordshire.
Shah Rukh, the first foreign actor to be conferred the Malaysian title of Datuk - akin to a British knighthood - last year, will receive his first doctorate July 10.

The actor was chosen for the doctorate by NGO Routes to Roots, a member of the World Association of Non-Governmental Organization (WANGO) that works closely with universities and educational trusts in various countries, said a press release.

"I am delighted that Routes to Roots nominated me for the honorary doctorate in arts and culture from the Bedfordshire University, Britain, and it will be my pleasure to receive it personally July 10 in London," said Shah Rukh.

Routes to Roots is a non-profit charitable organisation and endeavours to bring people and cultures together across the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (Saarc) countries in general and India and Pakistan in particular. Actor Juhi Chawla and filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt are among its patrons.

"Shah Rukh Khan was selected by us after careful study since he has his head and heart at the right place in spite of being crowned the king of Bollywood. The superstar has done immense work for the underprivileged and downtrodden and has always come forward for charities in case of natural disasters," said Tina Vachani, co-founder, Routes to Roots.

According to Rakesh Gupta, who is also with the NGO: "Indian students at the university would love to have the youth icon Shah Rukh to be a fellow alumni once he receives his doctorate."

Fatwa issued against Shah Rukh Refers to him as Kafir


The storm surrounding Shah Rukh Khan`s supposed controversial comments on Prophet Mohammed seems to have taken a grave turn now - an Islamic seminary has issued a fatwa (legal ruling) against SRK over the same.
According to reports, the fatwa has been issued by Mufti Mohammed Shoeb Raza Qadri and Mufti Muti-ur-Rehman of the ‘Darul-uloom-Mazhar-e- Islam’, who have stated that the entire Muslim community was hurt by Shah Rukh`s comments.Mufti Mohammed has apparently called Shah Rukh a ‘Kafir’ (non-believer) and has even gone to the extent of saying that such a person should be thrown out of the Muslim community. He is believed to have said that in an Islamic state such remarks would have called for a death penalty against the accused. What’s all the more surprising is the fact that Mufti has also attacked SRK with a personal comment which goes like this- “Shah Rukh`s marriage with Gauri was nullified and Shah Rukh must not be allowed to be buried in any Muslim graveyard.”However, the Bareilly-based Markazi Darul Ifta, which is responsible for issuing fatwas for the Barelvi sect, dismissed the decree saying the move by the two clerics was ‘unnecessary’. “If someone is saying that he has not made statements (against the Prophet), then what is the need to issue a fatwa,” said a spokesperson of the Ifta.Shah Rukh has strongly denied the comments attributed to him in an interview published in a magazine, saying he had been misquoted.

SRK to gift his Bodyguard a flat


Shahrukh Khan has decided to gift his bodyguard Yaseen Khan a flat as a wedding gift. Yaseen has been staying at Shahrukh’s Mannat ever since he had started working with him. But now when he is getting married, he is finding little awkward to stay at Shahrukh's house with his newly wedded. Understanding his uneasiness, King Khan has decided to gift Yaseen a falt who hails from Karnataka.

Says a source, "Ever since he began working with SRK over a decade ago, he has been traveling with the actor wherever he goes, including his overseas shoots. But a single guy living under his roof is quite different from someone who has a wife and wants to start a family. And so,when he told SRK that he was tying the knot, it was clear to both that he'd need a new place. That's when SRK decided to present his most trusted guy a wedding gift he would remember."

Shahrukh did like him to stay nearby his house and so he will go for a flat somewhere at Bandra. Yaseen who is on a short visit to his hometown will join Shahrukh in New York where he is shooting for ‘My Name Is Khan’.
