Top Indian players, including Ravindra Jadeja and VVS Laxman, will go under the hammer when the players' auction for the fifth Indian Premier League is held in Bangalore on February 4.

Beside Jadeja and Laxman, many other Indian and foreign cricketers will be up for grabs when the proceedings begin at 11:00 am in the ITC Royal Gardenia Hotel.

Confirming the auction date and venue, IPL chairman Rajeev Shukla said: "Fans of the sport, based in India and elsewhere, will be following the happenings with a lot of interest. The auction sets the stage for what promises to be an absorbing fifth season of the tournament.

"The developments during the first trading window have given us an idea of the varied approaches that the teams have adopted for the forthcoming season. The Auction will give us a deeper insight into the same," he added.

The auction will be conducted by Richard Madley, a professional auctioneer from England who has conducted each of the previous IPL player auctions, and the proceedings will be broadcast live by IPL Indian broadcaster Sony Set Max.

The opening match of IPL 2012 will take place on April 4 in Chennai.

SRK's turn to play a cop?

2012-01-26T12:41:00.000-06:00

Kamal Haasan wants him to reprise his role in a tamil remake

If there's one role that B'wood actors love to play it's that of a cop. Ask the Big B who was a cop in several films, or Sallu, Ajay Devgn or Akshay Kumar who all went on to enjoy phenomenal success at the BO with their policeman acts. Call it his late entry to action films or bad luck SRK hasn't been able to get too many offers for playing a cop (the only one being the flop 'One 2 Ka 4'). But all that could change soon.

Rumour has it that south Indian veteran Kamal Haasan wants SRK to play his role in the remake of his Tamil film 'Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu,' that became a cult hit in 2006. In the movie Kamal played a police officer who has to figure out the culprit behind a series of rapes and murders.

Apparently, the director of the movie Gautam Menon (who already has a remake of his Tamil film titled 'Ek Deewana Tha,' starring Prateik Babbar hitting the theatres in February) was keen on taking Kamal's opinion on the lead actor in the Hindi version. Kamal immediately named SRK as the apt choice. That Kamal chose SRK doesn't seem surprising. The two share a good friendship that started when SRK agreed to do a cameo in the Kamal's film 'Hey Ram' back in 2000.

When Filmmaker Gautam Menon was approached for comment he confirmed the news and dismissed rumours of him considering Salman for the remake. Surprisingly, it is believed SRK hasn't signed the project yet. Sources close to him say he is hesitant because arch rival Aamir is already playing a cop in 'Talaash'.

Shah Rukh Khan shows his love for Gauri

2012-01-24T14:22:00.000-06:00

SRK has his ways of putting rumours to rest and proving everything's fine between him and Gauri Khan.

For everyone working overtime contemplating problems in Shah Rukh Khan's paradise, King Khan has proved that he is an eternal romantic and loyal lover not just onscreen but also off-screen, in personal life.

Recently rumours were rife that there seem to be some problems between the steady couple Shah Rukh and Gauri Khan because of SRK's over-friendliness with Priyanka Chopra. The sizzling chemistry between the Don costars was said to have transpired beyond the silver screen. Shah Rukh never reacted to these reports but had his own way of putting the rumours to rest.

Shah Rukh and Gauri Khan had recently been to an awards function in foreign lands and their camaraderie at the after party seemed just out of a Bollywood love story. A source present at the party said, "Shah Rukh invited Gauri for a dance and expectedly she graced the dance floor. The couple indulged in a love-soaked ball-dance on some beautiful numbers and their chemistry was for everyone to see".

We must say Shah Rukh Khan clearly knows how to silence his detractors without speaking a word!
