Shah Rukh Khan: 6 heart-warming things about the superstar, revealed by an ex-employee

2016-09-04T00:13:00.000+05:00

Shah Rukh Khan is not just an on-screen superstar. Even when he is off the screen, he manages to charm his fans with his razor-sharp wit, gentleman behavior, his extremely down-to-earth nature and his never-ending love for his family. When a user asked on Quora as to how SRK was off the screen, one of his ex-employees decided to reply anonymously. In her long answer, she disclosed 12 things about the superstar, which will warm your heart. Here you go:

1. He's a superstar of the highest order and this is the 21st century, but he would still always open the door for an average female employee like me, and let me pass first.

2. Every morning when he leaves in his car, he knows a few fans will be waiting outside the gates. But he never pulls up the blinds to hide away from them. He makes sure to smile and wave back.

3. This small department handles all his charitable work and makes sure there is no delay or problem while providing any goods or payments promised under SRK's name. They also frequently comb through his Twitter mentions to check for anyone reaching out for help. Also, this team doesn't have a PR/MR manager and thus their activities are hardly ever revealed to the media.

4. We weren't allowed to cancel or shift his 'family time' on his schedule unless absolutely necessary and without asking him first. Whenever his children were in India, a part of the day was dedicated to them and we weren't allowed to contact him directly regarding work during that time.

5. We Delhiites are suckers for Sitaram Diwan Chand ke chhole bhature. I had once brought two packed plates of it for myself when I came back to Mumbai from Delhi. He heard me childishly bragging about it in the corridor and told me to inform him when I was having lunch. He said he hadn't had them in so long and was craving for a bite... He actually came to the cafeteria during my lunch break, sat across the table and had all my chhole bhature.

6. I once accidentally ran my pen over his jacket worth 11-freaking-lakhs. His assistant was ready to rip my throat open, but he said it's OK. He gave me side hug from one arm, ruffled my hair, and asked me to be more careful in the future.

Things that brought Salman-Shah Rukh Khan together

2016-09-03T21:35:00.002+05:00

Even though it’s been a longtime since Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan sorted out their differences and became friends again, it is still a joy to catch them bonding and chilling together, like it happened at TOIFA 2016. We first brought to you pictures of the two Khans rehearsing and then hanging out together and now we hear this… So we know that Dubai is second home for King Khan and the actor threw a grand bash at his hotel suite post the award ceremony, as reported by Mid-Day. The list of invitees included Ranveer Singh, Jacqueline Fernandez, Parineeti Chopra, Yo Yo Honey Singh, Sanjay Leela Bhansali and of course, Bhaijaan Salman! Reportedly the two Khans partied hard and spent a lot of time talking to each other. Both of them were bonding big time as their talks went on till wee hours in the morning! A few days ago, fans of these friends-turned-foes-turned-friends-again had another reason to rejoice as Shah Rukh Khan gave surprised Salman a big surprise.

Differences with Salman won't be resolved publicly: SRK

2012-11-17T12:39:00.002+05:00

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan says his longstanding disagreements with Salman Khan will not come to an end courtesy a film, a filmmaker or an actress. And neither would it be on a public platform. The two Bollywood icons, who did films like Karan Arjun and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai together, had a major fight in 2008 at Salman's then girlfriend, Katrina Kaif's birthday bash.

Even as Katrina hopes to produce a movie featuring Shah Rukh and Salman, SRK says it's not going to happen - not at anyone's behest.

"My thing is that we had a little bit of personal issue. This is not the first time. It was four years ago and it had been before. We (Salman) have been very close for 20 years and even more. From the time I came, I respect his family and the fact that they gave me so much of love. I can never be disrespectful about that. Having said that, we have grown together."

"We have certain things similar and certain things which we completely disagree on. So, at this point of time we are at that plain of disagreement and there might come a time when these things will get resolved, not resolved... but it will never be on a public platform. It will be a personal thing," Shah Rukh said at the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit 2012 in New Delhi on Friday.

He is assured that "it will not be if a producer, director casts me in a film, even if it is Katrina Kaif."

"It will never get resolved if two or three people came in between and say 'resolve it'... I don't think a film is going to bring us together and resolve anything," added Shah Rukh.

He says people must stop expecting to see the two actors together as it "looks like a Yash Chopra hero and heroine have got separated."

"It can be that we board the same plane and start chatting, but not for a film. But I don't think it will happen now. We don't really sit and think of it," added King Khan, who was at the summit with Katrina, one of the leading ladies of his latest release Jab Tak Hai Jaan.

How the Khan vs Khan fight startedBack in 2008, reportedly, a slightly inebriated Salman Khan offended Shah Rukh Khan when he and wife Gauri Khan came for Katrina Kaif’s birthday bash. Salman was apparently upset with SRK for turning down a guest role in Salman’s production, Mr And Mrs Khanna (2009). On being taunted by Salman, SRK retaliated by taking a dig at Salman’s past relationship with Aishwarya Rai. It got ugly as the two stars were apparently prepared to fight it out. Literally.

After 24 years , Shah Rukh Khan again charms fans as army man

2012-09-07T12:09:00.000+05:00

New Delhi: For Shah Rukh Khan, life seems to have come full circle just before he completes the silver jubilee of his career in acting and showbiz.

In 1988, his powerful portrayal of Commando Abhimanyu Rai in the TV series "Fauji" virtually launched his acting career and made him a popular face throughout the country. And now his role as army man Samar in Yash Chopra's yet untitled film has stirred a buzz.

"When Shah Rukh Khan goes back to his roots, his 'Fauji' days, wears a uniform and then there's a combination of a love story, produced by (Yash Raj Films), the house of romance, directed by Yash Chopra himself, the film is bound to create buzz," film critic Omar Qureshi, told IANS.

At 46, the superstar doesn't just paint a perfect, military print uniform-clad, intense look but also reflects his fit, powerful and impactful demeanour through the first few looks of the movie, which will release Nov 13.

Not much is known of the storyline yet, except the likely possibility of a love triangle between King Khan and two leading ladies - Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma.

His fans prefer the 'romantic SRK' and Delhi-based distributor Joginder Mahajan says that they are expecting it to join the Rs.100 crore club.

"He started his career with 'Fauji' and so he is seen that way. Almost all his films do well. 'RA.One' didn't do too well, but still crossed Rs.100 crore. This new film has Shah Rukh, and it is being directed by Yash Chopra after so long; so I think the movie will surely touch the Rs.100 crore mark," Mahajan told IANS.

He however feels it will be tough for it to make Rs.200 crore as Ajay Devgn's "Sons Of Sardaar" will release the same day and shows at cinema halls will get divided.

In Bihar, the buzz for the movie is more because it is a Yash Raj Films production.

"After 'Om Shanti Om', none of Shah Rukh's films have done too well in Bihar. People are not too crazy about Shah Rukh here. Salman Khan is more liked here. However, this time the Yash Raj Films banner is associated with him and their movies do well here; so chances of the movie doing well here increases," said Rajan Sinha, a distributor from Bihar.

This is not the only time since "Fauji" that Shah Rukh has slipped into the 'uniform'. He also donned it in 2004 releases "Main Hoon Na" and "Veer-Zaara".

He played an army officer, Major Ram Prasad Sharma, in Farah Khan's directorial debut "Main Hoon Na". It was a light-hearted role and his character was shown as a saviour who falls for glamorous teacher Sushmita Sen and was a blockbuster.

The same year saw Shah Rukh in cross-border romance "Veer-Zaara". He played an Indian Air Force pilot with conviction.

His heroism, as he helped Zaara, a Pakistani girl in distress, essayed by Preity Zinta, swept his female fans off their feet - as did his rare, old man look when the film's story moved 22 years forward.

Shah Rukh has a certain magic, and mixed with an officer's uniform, the magic is expected to go up by several notches, predicted Qureshi about the superstar's latest army man avatar in Chopra's latest directorial venture.

"Every romantic hero is fantasised in a uniform. There is something about men in uniform which women like and I think it's going to work even more magic for Shah Rukh," Qureshi told IANS.

Shah Rukh, who has also been touted as the king of romance in Indian cinema, owing to films like "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jaayenge", "Dil To Pagal Hai", "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai" and "Kal Ho Naa Ho", has lately been seen in action-packed films like "RA.One" and "Don: The King Is Back".

Chopra's new movie gives a ray of hope to the star's legion of fans.

Trade guru Taran Adarsh says it's just another challenge that Shah Rukh has taken and added:"I think Shah Rukh is accepted in every role. He has proven his versatility over the years."

Given Chopra's precision and understanding of commercial filmmaking, his hold on the pulse of the cinema-viewing audience and his super-scenic locations in London, Kashmir Valley and Ladakh, one can hope the film will bring back Shah Rukh's missing magic once again.

The industry feels the new movie will bring sunny times for both SRK and the box offi

Salman Khan finally ends his fight with Shahrukh Khan!

2012-09-07T00:41:00.002+05:00

Mumbai: It looks like Kabir Khan's Ek Tha Tiger'ssuccess has brought some good news for bothSalman Khan and Shahrukh Khan fans. A while ago, Katrina Kaif had said that both the Khans have now moved on. Well, that wasn't just a mere statement. It is true that Shahrukh and Salman are no longer enemies.

During a latest interview with the Zoom TV, Salman said that he has forgotten his enmity with Shahrukh and has moved on. "There was a time when Shahrukh and I never got along well, in fact, we don't get along now either.. It's not that there's any enmity. Whatever happened in the past is all forgotten. More than us, people have hyped our relationship. We are not in a boxing ring, we are mature people. He should beat me with his work and I should beat him with my work."

Well, we wonder, how this miracle happened! There was a time when the duo would never leave a chance to pounce on each other for whatever may be the reason, and today, it's a completely different scenario. Whatever the reason might be behind this possible patch up, both Salman and SRK are the two majestic stars of the industry and we want them to be friends once again! What do you say guys?

Shah Rukh Khan hopes he will help bring back filmmakers to Kashmir

Indian actor Shah Rukh Khan, who wrapped up a nine-day shooting for a film in Kashmir, has expressed hope that his film will help bring back filmmakers to the valley, according to a report in the Times of India.

Khan was working on an untitled Yash Chopra film, which was widely shot in Kashmir.

“I am not so big but when people see the film made by a big banner with big names associated with it, people will come. I am hopeful of that,” Khan told the media before heading back to Mumbai.

The Bollywood superstar said he hoped more filmmakers will shoot at the venue which was once hugely popular, before the region was hit by conflict between the Kashmiri locals and the Indian government.

“Any aspect that is geographical, ideological or political, the reason I won’t comment on it in depth is that my knowledge is lacking. The biggest issue we have is that when people talk about things they don’t know,” Khan said, when asked about negative portrayal of Kashmir in Bollywood films

The actor said it is the filmmaker who finally decides the story to be conveyed through his movie.

On the negative portrayal of Muslims in some movies, the actor said his film ‘My Name Is Khan’ was an attempt to clear the misgiving about Islam and Muslims around the world.

“There are some people from our community who do wrong but that does not mean Islam or Muslims are wrong,” he added.

Talking about his maiden visit to Kashmir and the movie, Khan said the film is a story about eternal love.

Shah Rukh said that his Kashmir visit was long due. “It was a dream to come to Kashmir. My grandmother was from here and my father was very keen to bring me here. He died when I was just 15 so I was a bit sad to come here without him. People here have been very kind, patient and wonderful to me,” he said.

The film, which is yet to get a title, marks Yash Chopra’s return to Kashmir after a gap of almost three decades. He last shot Kabhie Kabhie and Silsila in the Valley.

Upon leaving Kashmir, Khan posted on Twitter: “Leaving Pahalgham. Learnt lıfe’s lesson in my forefathers land. Only beauty is not enuff u gotta be tough too to survive. I will be Insha Allah”

Shahrukh Khan’s baggage arrives in Berlin, King to attend DON 2 premiere at Berlinale

2012-02-12T01:33:00.000+05:00

SHAHRUKH KHAN This is the latest on Shahrukh Khan and the 62nd Berlinale saga. In the DON 2 press conference it was announced that the King’s baggage had already arrived at the Berlin airport, which should be taken as an indication that the King would also be in Berlin very soon. He has very few options left. SRK cannot disappoint his fans here. The poor turnout of journalists at DON 2 press conference is a clear proof that Berlin is King Khan’s territory. If he does not show up, nobody else will, neither his fans nor the world media. They don’t much care for his advance guard and nothing less than the king’s presence will bring cheer to their faces and have their attention. The crowd of fans outside at the back door entrance of Grand Hyatt Berlin was also a modest one in spite of the fact that Priyanka and Farhan are big Bollywood stars too.

I’ll destroy you, SRK said to Shirish Kunder

Concerned Sallu calls up Shirish Kunder after SRK bashes up his director friend

He may be shooting thousands of miles away in Cuba but the aura of Salman Khan was presiding over the most interesting maar-dhaad in recent memory.

On Monday morning, at a suburban night club where Sanjay Dutt had thrown a party to celebrate the success of his new film, Shah Rukh Khan bashed up an inebriated Shirish Kunder for misbehaving with him. And for good measure, Sanjay Dutt too slapped the director who was as high as a kite, and clearly overestimated his physical prowess.

So where does Sallu come into the picture?

Film editor and director Kunder who is married to Farah Khan is a known Salman acolyte and after the famous falling out between Salman and Shah Rukh, has vocally showed his support for the former.

After RA.One's lukewarm reception he had tweeted, "I just heard a 150 crore firework fizzle." Kunder was also the reason for the end of the SRK-Farah Khan friendship after Shah Rukh refused to act in Tees Maar Khan, which Kunder directed and Farah produced, citing a poor script.

The acrimony between the two men which had been building up over the months reached a flashpoint when Shah Rukh reached Dutt's party past 3.30 am. A source close to the actor said, "Shirish started to tail Shah Rukh saying, 'I am waiting...I am waiting.' He even followed him to the men's room and deliberately bumped into him.

After he came out of the washroom Shah Rukh went up to Shirish, held him by the neck and said, 'My children were very hurt when you tweeted about the movie. I had promised them I would slap you when I meet you next but I won't. I am just warning you that don't mess with me,' said the source who did not wish to be identified.

Kunder did away with discretion as part of his valour and retorted: 'I give a f*** about you,' sending Shah Rukh into paroxysm of rage. Eye witnesses who had by now abandoned their drinks and gathered around, claim that Shah Rukh first pulled Kunder's hair as he tried to escape, then his tee-shirt, and slapped him then sat astride him as he tried to hit Kunder again, saying, 'I'll destroy you, and throw you out of the industry. Aur tere friend ko ja ke bol mein uski maar doonga.' But while Sanjay Dutt and others tried to separate the two men, Aurus owner and another close friend of Salman, Baba Dewan was heard protesting about the slight directed at his absent pal. But by this time SRK was so angry that even when his good friend Priyanka Chopra tried to intervene, he brushed her aside.

Just when it seemed that Kunder's tribulations were over, he tried to get up and drunkenly staggered in Sanjay Dutt's wife Manyata's direction. This enraged Sanju baba who drew up to his full height and delivered what music channels like to call, 'One Tight Slap.'

"I was so disgusted that I left the party," said Shirish Kunder when we called him in the sobriety of day for his version of events. He denied that Dutt had slapped him. Onlookers insist otherwise.

"I did not provoke Shah Rukh Khan. One never expects that someone will come and attack you like this. There were three bodyguards around him so it was a clear signal for me to be quiet," added Kunder who had earlier in the evening annoyed director Indra Kumar by misbehaving with his daughter. "Fortunately, she can take care of herself," said Indra Kumar.

Farah Khan staunchly defended her husband. "Shah Rukh has always told me that physical abuse is the worst way to sort out a problem. Physical violence simply implies that the person who's hitting has either a personal or professional crisis going on in his life. It saddens me to see him doing the same."

Salman Khan who heard about the fracas called up Kunder later on Monday to find out what had transpired and offer support. But the fight has deeply divided the industry with many openly coming out in SRK's favour. "Shirish and Farah should be grateful to SRK, he has done so much for Farah," tweeted Amisha Patel.

"I was present at Sanju's party and without any bias I fully support Shah Rukh," tweeted photographer Dabboo Ratnani.

Through the entire fight and subsequently, the management of the night club kept its stiff upper lip. "The restaurant does not intervene in the personal matters of its guests. There could have been a misunderstanding between the guests and unless things get out of control, we do not get involved," said its spokesperson.

The evening ended with Baba Dewan and Shah Rukh Khan driving to Mannat. No doubt to once again take the evening apart.

D’Decors Brand Ambassadors SRK and Gauri Khan

2010-09-01T11:14:00.002+05:00

Bollywood Superstar Shahrukh Khan and his wife Gauri Khan have for the first time teamed up together to endorse D’Decor, the world’s third largest furnishing company, as its brand ambassadors.

‘I feel very humble and happy when any company signs me as their brand ambassador and so I am very happy to be part of D’Decor,’ Shahrukh told reporters at the Taj Lands End Hotel where he and his wife were officially declared the brand ambassadors.

Gauri, who was also present, said: ‘I haven’t worked so hard ever, so after working for two long days, I slept last two days. It was a fantastic experience.’

Shahrukh, like a sweet and protective husband, made sure Gauri was comfortable. He helped Gauri in the slightest of things like holding the microphone properly so that the media could hear whatever little she had to say.

Ajay Arora, managing director of D’Decor, decided to sign them as brand ambassadors because he felt they were the best examples of perfect homemakers.

‘We thought that apart from being celebrities, Shah Rukh and Gauri have made a wonderful home, both by decor and feeling, so we decided to make them brand ambassadors of the company,’ said Arora.

Shah Rukh Khan calls Karan Johar to 'assist' with Ra.One

2010-08-02T10:19:00.000+05:00

When it comes to mushy romantic sequences, even if they are for his high profile superhero action flick Ra.One, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan apparently bets only on his best bud filmmaker Karan Johar.

He flew away to London on Friday, reportedly to direct some romantic scenes, including a song, for Ra.One, featuring the Shah Rukh and Bollywood beauty Kareena Kapoor.

Shah Rukh tweeted Karan's arrival saying, "Been hectic days...with shoot going all around. Today Karan came to shoot...making him attend some action stuff, he looks most out of place."

Apparently Shah Rukh was not too keen to let the film's director Anubhav Sinha, who has earlier directed films like Dus and Cash, direct these crucial scenes and there have been 'reports' of arguments between the two.

SRK of course didn't even blink at these reports and tweeted, "Anubhav and RA.ONE team has worked so hard...I will always be indebted to them for this experience as an actor and producer. Most awesome.Thanks"

Purported to be the most expensive film ever produced by Shah Rukh's production house Red Chillies Entertainment, the King Khan, it seems, didn't want to take any risks and so KJo was imported from India to 'assist' in the direction of some scenes and songs.

"Made karan attend the shooting...he is too sweet...so excited to be part of film making and wishes me so well, its very touching," he tweeted on Sunday.

There have been reports that the filming unit has been divided into two parts one filming the romantic scenes and songs ghost directed by Karan; meanwhile the other continuing with the rest of the filming lead by Sinha.

To explain this two-unit filming formula, Shah Rukh, on Monday, tweeted, "Rains...shooting action and montages together. 2 units...location demands etc. Karan assisting us for a day.hopefully we will make the schedule."

Perhaps with the continuing rise of his 'arch-rival' Aamir Khan, and with so much resting on his next film after a somewhat lacklustre My Name Is Khan (MNIK), Shah Rukh, it seems, wants to bet on a winning horse, for, the KJo-SRK pair, despite their MNIK, has never actually bombed at the Box Office.

Ambani, SRK send flowers on Uddhav b’day

2010-07-30T09:18:00.000+05:00

Mumbai On his 50th birthday on Tuesday, Shiv Sena executive president Uddhav Thackeray received bouquets from unexpected quarters — Shah Rukh Khan and Mukesh Ambani. It was only two months ago that the Sena had threatened to stall the actor’s movie My Name is Khan for supporting Pakistani cricketers, and slammed the Reliance chairman for saying “Mumbai belonged to all Indians”.

In fact, the Reliance group went a step further and released a full-page advertisement with Uddhav’s photo in Sena’s mouthpiece Saamna on Tuesday.
“Uddhavji received a number of bouquets from sainiks, businessmen, industrialists all over the state but it was quite surprising to see bouquets from Khan and Ambani. Like others, they also sent their wishes,” said a source.
However, it was the Sena who had taken the first step to ease things by inviting Ambani for its May 1 function to celebrate 50 years of Maharashtra’s foundation. The industrialist had chosen to stay away.
Khan, for his part, had publicly said that he respected Bal Thackeray and had family relations with Uddhav, but refused to tender any apology as sought by Thackeray prior to the release of MNIK for statements in support of the inclusion of Pakistani players in the Indian Premier League.
Meanwhile, estranged cousin Raj Thackeray and chief of the rival Maharashtra Navnirman Sena, who receives a bouquet from Uddhav and family on his birthday, did not send any wishes on Tuesday.

Shahrukh says no to ‘Bigg Boss 4’

According to the latest tabloids reports, Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan has refused to host the fourth season of popular reality television show ‘Bigg Boss’ due to his prior work commitments.

“The channel went all out to get Shah Rukh to host ‘Bigg Boss 4’. They even offered him a larger remuneration than Big B. But SRK could not agree to play host because of lack of time,” revealed a source familiar with the matter.
The source went on to add, “The dates for ‘Bigg Boss 4’ clashed with Shah Rukh’s shooting schedule for Farhan Akhtar’s ‘Don 2’ with Priyanka Chopra in Bali.”

My Name Is Khan Movie reviews

2010-02-20T22:14:00.001+05:00

Mayank Shekhar : Hindustan Times
A commercially successful, massively scaled mainstream film that doesn’t just make a song and dance of it all could certainly change Bollywood forever. Of all, I’m glad Johar also made that move. Sure, this movie’s a risk. Shouldn’t each be anyway?
Gaurav Malani : INDIATIMES MOVIES
Like his placard that reads ‘Repair almost anything’, Shah Rukh Khan makes up for every minor inconsistency in the film. My Name is Khan is worth a watch on his name alone.
india-server.com
‘My Name is Khan’ is definitely a movie of substance and is a must watch for both Shah Rukh’s fans and the ones wanting to see a logical nice movie!
Anupama Chopra : movies.ndtv.com
Rizwan is undeniably the best thing about My Name is Khan. Shah Rukh’s performance has little subtlety about it – for that watch Hugh Dancy doing Asperger’s in Adam – but it is heartfelt, endearing and more controlled than anything he’s ever done before. Watch him in a lovely scene in which Kajol accepts his proposal or how he restrains his tears so that his eyes brim but never well over.
I recommend that you see Khan for him. The film itself is too uneven to give us the emotional high we were waiting for.
Mihir Fadnavis : India.com
Director Karan Johar, the visionary that he is, injects new life into the stale Bollywood drama genre by introducing a mentally handicapped leading man and his loving wife, only to pull the rug from under us by transposing their roles when you least expect it. The acting is expectedly over the top, but MNIK thankfully does not completely reduce SRK, one of the best screen actors of all time, to a mugging embarrassment. Shahrukh really tries hard to dole up a studied, thoughtful performance, but the story is just terrible and written, no doubt, to accommodate several agendas. The ploy works, for SRK’s Rizwan Khan WILL melt fans’ hearts and leave them chanting, ‘Filmfare award! Filmfare award!! Get this guy a Filmfare award!!’
Taran Adarsh : Bollywoodhungama.com
On the whole, MY NAME IS KHAN is a fascinating love story, has an angle of religion and a world-shaking incident as a backdrop. It not only entertains, but also mesmerises, enthrals and captivates the viewer in those 2.40 hours. At the same time, a film like MY NAME IS KHAN is sure to have a far-reaching influence due to its noble theme. I strongly advocate, don’t
miss this one!
Shweta Parande : ibnlive.in.com
My Name is Khan is unlike any other Karan Johar-directed film, although it has glimpses of his past work. It does not have masala, no mindless song and dance, and no comic fillers. It has a very strong main message, and several others tucked in.
KJo has sure come a long way from candyfloss.
Raja Sen : movies.rediff.com
My Name Is Khan is a film that will have the galleries cheering and making sure there aren’t many dry eyes in the house. The applause will ring wild and while many might complain that Johar has simply ditched old movie cliches for more American ones, none can argue that the segue seems surprisingly seamless.
Karan Johar’s finally made his first grown-up film, and made it well. It could have been the stuff of much more, but let us leave that for another day. This is a film that will inspire, make aware, make happy.
Amit Tiwari : Samaylive.com
A fascinating love story
The film ‘My name Is Khan’ is prestigious project for Karan Johar as a director. After Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Kabhie Khushi Kabhie Ghum, Johar once again returned with SRK-Kajol pair on celluloid.
MNIK’s success will be proved as a landmark in Karan Johar’s directorial career.
Harshita Kohli : Starboxoffice.com
Kajol is brilliant and this time her eyes do a lot more tlaking than her words. Watch out for the change in emotions reflected so beautifully in her eyes as the film goes through its turmoils. The screenplay clearly shows that both Shibani Bathija and Karan Johar have done their research and done it well. You can see that in SRK’s mannerisms and in the bigger picture.
But the true credit of the film goes to only one person – Shah Rukh Khan. Shah Rukh Khan carries the story entirely on his shoulder without any crutches of make-up and prosthetics, his signature lover boy image left at the door along with the designer clothes or larger than life dialogues.

Shahrukh Khan: A Friend In Need Is A Friend Indeed!

2010-01-16T19:04:00.000+05:00

It was very much a party to remember when Hrithik Roshan (actually his wife Suzanne) had invited the entire young gang of bollywood for the birthday party which took place after awards function. Now what we all know by now is that ShahRukh invited all of them to his house ‘Mannat’ after the party. As everyone got together there at his place, there was a slight bit of an uncomfortable chill that was seen amongst the guests.
Now that there was some bit of tension was immediately noticed by King Khan. He soon realized that it was due to the presence of the two not so good friends Abhishek Bachchan and Viviek Oberoi. Thus, true to his name the enigmatic Khan got up and made the ice thaw between them. According to a close source, the whole situation was handled with great care and maturity and ShahRukh with his boyish charm made all his guests very comfortable so as to mingle with ease and enjoy the party which they all needed to unwind their jaded nerves.

Shahrukh Khan, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan – how about a movie starring them all?

2010-01-16T18:57:00.003+05:00

What if the three Khans of Bollywood come together in a Hindi movie? I know it’s almost impossible to cast them all together, but still no harm to imagine, right?
Let’s see the movie through our mind’s eye…
1. Title of the movie – “Hello Brothers” (derived from Salman’s Hello Brother!)? Or “Bollywood ke 3 Taare Zameen Par” (Aamir’s Taare Zameen Par)? Or the best name…“Our name is Khan”! No better option, I guess!
2. Producer – Keeping in mind that both SRK and Aamir have produced films before, either one of them could be randomly picked as an option.
3. Story writer – This one for Salman Khan please! He couldn’t be the producer so let him be the writer for the movie. Well, he actually wrote for “Veer”.
4. Director – Ashutosh Gawarikar or Sanjay Leela Bhansali…both have worked with either two of the actors.
5. Lead Female – Rani Mukherji, Kareena Kapoor and Kajol. Actors free to choose their ladies! All of them have worked with all the three Khans.
6. Story – Three brothers’ story! SRK aka Rahul is a romantic guy, Aamir aka Sanjay is workaholic and perfectionist, and Salman aka Prem is a fighter in the army. They have their separate approaches towards life but still they have their own share of tiffs. If sometimes Rahul and Sanjay are not into talking terms, then Prem is friends with both of them. And if the spat is between Rahul and Prem, then Sanjay automatically becomes friends with Rahul! Confusing, I know…but can’t help it! (Inspired from a true story, you know!)
7. Dad of the brothers – Amitabh Bachchan…who else! (Rishtey mein to hum tumhare baap lagte hain!)
8. Climax – Nope! Can’t be revealed! (Well, I am not yet sure of that!)
9. Conclusion – Hey, are you sure we can finish the film? With three Khans together, won’t there be disputes between them in the sets too? I don’t think the film will see its end!
10. Genre – Action!!!
Thank God I was making the film in my imaginations only! Do you think it is wise to project all of them together in real?

My Name Is Khan Movie Story

2010-01-15T23:41:00.000+05:00

Shahrukh Khan

In “My Name is Khan”, SRK is playing the character of Rizvan Khan. This person suffers from Asperger’s Syndrome, which is an autism disorder and is characterised by difficulties in social interaction and behaviour. Half of the film is a true story based on a couple’s life in LA. Karan bought the rights of the story from them.
For the role, Shah Rukh has to gain weight, and that is what he is doing currently. “The role requires me to have a fuller look,” said the actor who has plunged into his character already and is doing research on autism to see how complex these individuals are. “I am reading, watching documentaries, meeting people who are affected by autism and doctors who deal with it. It’s very unnerving and I salute parents who bring up children with any disorders,” said SRK.
Shibani Bhatija, the screenplay writer of the My Name Is Khan, has SRK detained in LA as a suspected terrorist because he is a Muslim and his impairment makes his behaviour suspicious.

SHAHRUKH KHAN and SALMAN KAHN

The animosity between SRK and Salman Khan has by now become one of the accepted facts in the industry. But, all this is going to change now if the latest behavior between the two Khans' is taken into account.

In a bid to strike friendship with SRK again, Salman Khan recently called up SRK's best friend Karan Johar in order to congratulate him for the promos of MY NAME IS KHAN. It's known that Salman Khan really liked the promos of the film and wasted no time to make it a tool to strike friendship with the SRK camp once again.

In return SRK too seized the moment and praised Salman's upcoming film VEER. Thus both stars hinting at ending all hostilities. Though, SRK and Salman have not spoken directly to each other after their famous spat on Katrina's Birthday party, but it seems that the two Khans' are gradually ironing out their differences.

Well, let's hope the old friendship between the two gets a new leash of life in this New Year.

The film which is being directed by Anubhav Sinha will have Ash play a small role if everything falls in place.

Ash, Abhi , SRK at Apsara Awards

It was a starry night at the fifth Apsara Film and Television Producers Guild Awards with the presence of biggies like Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Ash and Abhishek

Akshay is a smart khiladi and he never losses any opportunity to make a dig at SRK.

2010-01-10T14:28:00.000+05:00

Akshay is a smart khiladi and he never losses any opportunity to make a dig at SRK.

Yesterday at the Film Producers Guild Apsara Awards function in Mumbai, the Khiladi played his game and smartly made a dig at Shah Rukh when he was invited to present the award of Lifetime Achievement to the Bachchan senior.

Aksahy said, “Sir(Mr. Bachchan) is a legend and he still inspires other actors and makers to make remake of his films and act in them”.

Shahrukh was present at the event where he performed and also walked with the best actor trophy for ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’.

Obviously, Akshay was referring to Don sequel Don 2. According to sources it was the remake of ‘Don’ by Farhan Akhtar that sowed the first seeds of difference between SRK and Amitabh Bachchan who previously where on very good terms.

The prankster Akshay who is known for his mischievous behaviors in sets with his co-stars knows very well that he single-handedly can’t tackle the Khans as they are three of them, so he smartly takes the cover of Bachchan make him his dhall (read shield) and go Scot free as any reaction by SRK will be taken as an attack on Big B and Akshay can laugh at his attempt of adding more fuel to the fire.

Well, instead of sorting out the differences between the two icons of the Indian film industry, Akshay is more interested in making pranks and helping in stretching the gap between the two.

Anyways the news that Khiladi Kumar has made some dent in SRK’s camp and is doing 2 films for Farah is not entirely true. It’s a fact that Akshay will be doing another film with Farah to be produced by her husband, but the truth is Farah who is a strong supporter of SRK is directing ‘Tees Mar Khan’ only to support his husband Kunder who needs a standing after the mega flop ‘Jaan-e-man’ starring Akshay and Salman. Akshay and Farah’s hubby Shirish Kunder are good friends and hence Akshay has said yes to ‘Tees Mar Khan’ and Farah didn’t approach Akshay for the role.

She did approach SRK who agreed on the condition that Farah will direct the film under his banner. Things didn’t materialize and hence Farah who is married and has triplets

Wanted to support her husband and hence agreed to direct ‘Tees Mar Khan’ starring Akshay.

Akshay can continue to take digs at SRK and fill the gossips pages next day but the truth that he was not the first choice of ‘Tees Mar Khan’ and he got the film when SRK said 'no' will always remain the truth.
