SRK-Aishwarya in Swades sequel???

Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will share screen space in Swades sequel.

This movie will mark the return of the hit jodi of Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai. Sources claim that the duo after making waves in Devdas, is planning a comeback.

The jodi never worked together after Ash’s then boyfriend Salman Khan created a ruckus on the sets of Chalte Chalte, which was made by SRK’s home production.

But now that SRK and the Bachchan family are friends again, the two might work together on screen.

SRK has even asked his old friend Sanjay Leela Bhansali for help. Shah Rukh and Sanjay had worked together in Devdas which proved to be a major hit at the box office. And now the star has shown a keeninterest in working in another film with him.

Bhansali is keen to work with SRK too. After having made a flop film such as Guzaarish with Aishwarya Rai and Hrithik Roshan, the director has been looking for a bigger opportunity with bigger actors.

His earlier film Saawariya too had flopped and his discovery – Ranbir Kapoor – has also been giving him a cold shoulder.

Apart from talks with Bhansali, Shah Rukh is discussing another project with Ashutosh Gowarikar.

‘Ra.One’ shoot gets over… SRK all praises for Kareena Kapoor…

Shahrukh Khan’s big budget sci-fi action flick ‘Ra.One’ is finally completed. The actor is all praises for his co-star Kareena Kapoor for putting so much hard work and devoting her time and energy to the movie.

Shahrukh Khan tweeted: “finished the last few bits and pieces of ra.one with kareena. want to thank her for working so hard and fast…she was such a sport. hope we havent tanned her too much in the hot sun.”

Shahrukh, who wasn’t at his ‘tweeting’ best since the past two-three months, is now back on the social-networking circuit owing to the fact that he has finished the shoot of the movie.

We hear that as a part of promotional activities for his superhero flick, the actor is an animated version of his character G.One.

At first, the movie was scheduled to release on June 3 but due to some post-production work, the film will now release on 26th October. Made on a budget of around Rs. 150 crore, the movie also stars Arjun Rampal.

Shahrukh Khan’s Knee injury aggravated… Surgery in July…

Shah Rukh Khan injured his knee over a year back. Now, due to continuous shoots and action sequences for his upcoming flick Ra. One, the injury has been aggravated. The actor will undergo a knee surgery in July.

Earlier, SRK was treated by Kolkata Knight Riders physiotherapist Andrew Lepius.

SRK was recently in Hyderabad, shooting.

According to Mumbai based Dr Ali Irani,“Yes he does have a knee problem and he will need to undergo surgery in July. He has been going through a lot of discomfort for sometime. And hence the doctor was called in. He has a tear in the meniscus of his left 

Roshan family to attend the first screening of ‘Ra.One’

Ra.One’s final cut is almost ready and Shahrukh has invited the Roshan family to the first screening of the movie.

The buzz is that Hrithik is very excited after watching the promos of Ra.One and is eagerly waiting to watch the movie. But Shahrukh wants Hrithik to watch the very final product of the movie, since the music and the sound effects of Ra.One are currently being revved up.

Shahrukh Khan, said in an interview that Krrish is his and his kid’s favorite Indian superhero and he wants Hrithik to watch Ra.One and provide him with a feedback. He also praised Rakesh Roshan’s commitment towards his movies.

Kareena knows how to keep the rival Khan’s happy…

Kareena Kapoor is one of the rare B-town celebrities who can manage a sound relationship with both the Khans – Shahrukh Khan and Salman Khan simultaneously.

When Shahrukh recently came to Delhi to promote his film Ra.One, Kareena was missing from the event. The reason? Well, she is currently shooting for her upcoming movie Bodyguard with the Dabangg Khan – Salman.

If the buzz is to be believed, Kareena was mighty upset about the fact that she could not join Shahrukh in Delhi. Another buzz is that King Khan is waiting for Kareena Kapoor to join him for the promotions, so that he can officially launch the much awaited item song – Wanna Be My Chammak Challo. But Shahrukh understands that the shooting of Bodyguard cannot be left in between.

Apparently, Kareena has already spoken to Shahrukh about the time management problem and has decided that as soon as the shooting of Bodyguard completes, she will make sure that she remains available for the long tour promotion campaign of Ra.One, planned by Shahrukh.

Confirming the news, Kareena’s spokesperson is quoted as saying: “She’ll be joining Shahrukh soon for the promotions and that will happen as soon as she finishes theschedule of Bodyguard. She’s quite excited with the way the film has turned out.”

And the 3rd Golden Kela Award goes to………….

Shahrukh Khan has been named the worst actor for his performance in My Name Is Khan, which also won the Worst Film Award. Known for exhibiting the best of the worst Indian Cinema, the 3rd Golden Kela Awards, hosted by Cyrus Broacha in Rockdome at Ambience Mall in Gurgoan on Saturday, was quite entertaining and shocking as well.

Shahrukh and Sonam Kapoor as the worst actors (male and female). Sonam was named for her performance in the home production Aisha.

If this wasn’t sufficient, the worst film award went to Karan Johar’s My Name Is Khan and the worst director trophy was reserved for Sanjay Leela Bhansali for his Guzaarish.

Arjun Rampal and Kangana Ranaut were named the worst supporting actors (male and female) for their performances in films Housefull and Kites respectively.

The third year of Golden Kela Awards was bigger than before as it received 7,35,697 votes for all the award categories.

However, a few Anti Kela awards were given away to the saving graces of Bollywood like Vishal Bhardwaj for Ishqiya, Habib Faisal for Do Dooni Char, Vikramaditya Motwane for Udaan, and Abhishek Sharma for Tere Bin Laden.

SRK gets a taste of Twitter bashing…

Shah Rukh Khan, till recently a regular Twitter user who readily shared his inner thoughts with fans, quit the social networking site after his son read some abusive tweets directed at Shah Rukh.

Shah Rukh says the abusive tweets wouldn’t have bothered him but for the fact that he now has children and employees that look up to him.

“I have two kids who are growing up very fast. They look up to me. I have my employees who also look up to me,” he says.

Speaking to the press during a break between rehearsals for the Zee Cine Awards in Singapore, Shah Rukh explained that he took to Twitter at the suggestion of pal Karan Johar.

“But then something happened recently, which broke my heart. I was left wondering as to why I was being subjected to all this,” he said.

“Everybody’s entitled to freedom of speech but posting gaalis and abusive words is another matter. I certainly don’t deserve it. My son (Aryan) came to know about one such case and asked me, ‘Dad, who are these people? Why on earth should they talk to you like that?’ That’s when I decided to take a break from it.”

After a break, Shah Rukh tried to resume his Twitter interactions, but the faceless abusers quickly returned.

“When something bad is written about me, at least I know who’s behind it,but these (on Twitter) are faceless and nameless people. They are just getting a kick by giving gaalis to Shah Rukh Khan, I’m bewildered by all this,” he says.

SRK wins over Salman in the Zee Cine Awards…

Thanks to Aamir Khan for noth doing any film in 2010. Hence, in the Best Actor category the fight for the trophy was basically between Shahrukh Khan and Salman Khan. While Salman bagged the Best Actor award in the Star Screen and Apsara awards, it was Shahrukh awarded the Best Actor statuette for his performance in My Name Is Khan at the Zee Cine Awards. Shahrukh won the award for his sublime portrayal of an autistic person in the Karan Johar magnum opus ‘My Name is Khan.’

Dabangg managed to sweep 9 awards in different categories, including Best Film.

Ishqiya’s Vidya Balan took home the Best Female Actor trophy. Karan Johar was given the Best Director award for My Name is Khan.Vidya Balan. The Jury Award for Best Actor and Actress, however, went to Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai for their performances in director Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Guzaarish. Arjun Rampal (Rajneeti) and Prachi Desai (Once Upon a Time in Mumbai) claimed the trophies in Best Supporting Actor category while funny man Boman Irani got the Best Comic Actor trophy for ‘Well Done Abba.’

Ranvir Singh of Band Baaja Baaraat lapped up yet another trophy for the Most Promising Debut (Male) award and Sonakshi Sinha won the best debutante award for Dabangg. Her dad Shatrughan Sinha was given the Lifetime Achievement Award.

Aishwarya says NO to SRK…

Recently, at an award function, Aishwarya Rai refused to dance with SRK to Kajra Re.

Says an eyewitness, “Shah Rukh had planned a gig around Bollywood heroines over the years and he wanted it to conclude with Aishwarya’s performance.

He had planned to dance with her to Kajra Re. But Ash refused. Her argument was that Kajre re was a family song and that she performed the number in Bunty aur Babli only with her father-in-law Amitabh Bachchan and husband Abhishek and that she will not dance to that song with anyone else.

No amount of persuasion from the organizers helped her change her mind. Finally, Shah Rukh had to scrap this plan.”

Shah Rukh and Aishwarya share an OK rapport with each other. They bonded superbly during the shooting of Devdas. But later, Ash was ousted from Chalte Chalte and replaced by Rani Mukerji after Salman disrupted the first schedule of the film.

Well, we now wonder what kind of rapport will they share after Ash rejecting SRK…

SRK and Farah are friends now….

Shah Rukh’s apology on Koffee With Karan must have been a way to hike the TRPs, according to Salman… But the same did not apply for choreographer-director Farah Khan. If the news is right, the duo spent about half an hour with Shah Rukh Khan in his vanity van. Both of them were at an event.

According to an eyewitness, “First we saw Priyanka Chopra going into his van, followed by Farah Khan.

Priyanka came out of the van very quickly but Farah stayed on. But half an hour later, both Farah and SRK came out of the van.

SRK in his usual style hugged and kissed her on the forehead and went back into the van. Farah seemed to look very relieved and happy after the meeting.”

Farah Khan told mediapersons waiting outside the van, “We were friends and will always be. There were misunderstandings between us that have been cleared some time ago.”

Farah Khan in the end though did add, “All was normal like it has to be.”

Shahrukh is the entre of affection….

On Tuesday night, the Apsara awards ceremony couldn’t get better than this. The two lovely ladies of Bollywood, Vidya Balan and Anushka Sharma, did not miss the opportunity to hug and kiss their favorite actor Shahrukh Khan.

As Shahrukh enjoys a huge female fan following because of his romantic onscreen image, off-screen too, he is quite popular among the B-town ladies. When he was on stage to give awards to Anushka and Vidya, the two actresses not only pampered the Khan on stage but also planted kisses on his cheeks. The two ladies tightly embraced the Khan from both the sides. After all, he is the King!!!

Will Salman Khan forgive Shahrukh Khan????

Salman Khan and his activities can never be predicted. The past few months has seen a drastic change in him. The man now smiles a lot to the media, he has learnt to come to the sets on time.

The latest we hear is that the Dabangg star is not ready to forgive or reconcile with Shahrukh Khan. Though SRK has tried different ways to extend the olive branch to Salman Khan.

Recently, SRK admitted on Karan’s chat show that he entirely responsible for the clashes between the two of them. So does that mean we see a patch up between Sallu bhai and King Khan????

Well, according to Salman, SRK’s apology on the show was only to increase TRPs. He says, “He passes my house around four times a day to get anywhere and to return from wherever he goes. If he wanted a patch up why would he say it on a TV show?”

Salman Khan also admits that he prefers staying away from people like Shahrukh.

When Sallu was asked to comment on Vivek Oberoi and if he forgave him, Salamn says,“I forgave him because you know whether someone is serious or not in wanting to apologise and whether he seriously felt bad for his actions. I felt this (Shah Rukh’s) apology came only to increase TRPs of the show.”

We wonder what SRK has to say about all this….

SRK pours out his soul in Koffee With Karan… Karan moved to tears…

Shahrukh Khan was in a mood to bare his heart while appearing on buddy Karan Johar’s chat show Koffee With Karan.

SRK has been in confession mood lately. After confessing that he’s been depressed for a good part of this year, he’s spoken out frankly about his friends that have been falling out, namely Salman Khan and Farah Khan.

On Karan Johar’s show KWK, when SRK was asked about Farah and Salman, he is reported to have said: “I don’t know how to make friends and if I do, I don’t know how to keep them….If Salman and Farah are upset with me it’s 100 per cent my fault but I can’t pick up the phone and say sorry…. I can’t apologise because of ego but because I can’t just get myself to ask people to come back to me… I had asked my parents to come back and they didn’t…”

Host Karan Johar was moved to tears hearing his heart aching story… Don’t miss the episode on January 2.

The King Khan’s New Dance

When it comes to making movies entertaining, there is no one better than the Baadshah of Bollywood. We all know that SRK is doing all he can to make his film Ra.One look completely different, new and entertaining.

After the crores worth of costumes, the reshooting of key episodes, the hiring of international music icons, now comes the time where the King gets into the act himself.

For a particular song in the film, Shahrukh will be mixing gymnastics (which he has learnt for the film) into the steps which would make the song look completely different, says the director of the film Anubhav Sinha.

Only regret would be that SRK would not be flaunting his toned body in the song, the way we got to see in OSO.

The King Khan’s persistent back problems do not deter him one bit, do they?

Would SRK’s Ra.One be able to achieve what Rajni’s Robot did?

Director Shankar apparently approached SRK in mid 2007 with the project Robot. SRK was keenly looking forward to working with this genius film maker from the South and he even agreed to produce the mega budget movie under his own banner Red Chillies Entertainment.

But, something did not work out between the actor and director and Shankar came back to Chennai only to rope in the Superstar of Tamil cinema while SRK got busy with My Name is Khan and started his own sci-fi Ra.One with Anubhav Sinha.

Well, the rest is history! Robot broke all the existing BO records in Indian cinema overtaking Dabanng and 3 Idiots.

After, the astounding success that Robot achieved, SRK immediately conducted a brainstorming session with his creative team in order to shoot a particular train sequence that was more or less similar to the one in Robot.

Rumour has it that despite the scene alone costing a whopping 3 crores, SRK was prepared to re-shoot it in order to avoid any similarities between the two flicks.

King Khan is leaving no stone unturned to make Ra.One a success. He is planning an interactive gaming for kids during the movie’s screening. He has even roped in the international music composers Hans Zimmer (The Dark Knight and Inception fame) to do the background score and Akon for a special song.

The movie is going to hit the theatres in November 2011 and hope it makes his superhero dream come true.

SRK makes a comeback on small-screen with ‘Zor Ka Jhatka’

Shah Rukh Khan is now ready to make his small screen comeback with ‘Zor Ka Jhatka’ on Imagine TV, and claims he will beat all competition on television.

“I am the badshah of bedroom. Now people may say I am being vulgar, but the kind of entertainment I provide to my viewers enjoying in their bedrooms – no one else can,” Shah Rukh, told reporters here on Friday.

Looking dapper in a black suit and a white shirt, Shah Rukh spoke at the grand launch of the show, the Indian edition of internationally popular show ‘Wipeout’.

Shah Rukh will take 28 TV stars out of their comfort zone to battle out each other in an obstacle course set in Argentina.

The participants on the show include Akashdeep Saigal, Amit Sareen, Ashima Bhalla, Bakhtiyaar Irani, Claudia Ciesla, Debina Bonnerjee, Gaurav Chopraa, Jennifer Winget, Karishma Tanna, Kushal Punjabi, Narayani Shastri, Natasha Suri, Payal Rohatgi, Priyadarshani Singh, Raja Chaudhary, Rohit Verma, Simran Kaur Mundi among others.

They will be challenged by Shah Rukh to a series of hilarious tasks.

The prize money is worth Rs 1.5 crore, including a mega cash prize for the winner of the finale.

Known for his perfect comic timing and snazzy dialogues, Shah Rukh will add spunk to the show.

“I’m looking forward to being a super funny host-commentator. In fact, my children and I have watched the international version often and really loved it. I am sure to ‘Wipeout’ all your worries and make you have loads of fun,” said Shah Rukh, who earlier hosted shows like ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ and ‘Kya Aap Paanchvi Pass Se Tez Hain?’.

Sameer Nair, CEO of Turner General Entertainment Networks India Pvt Ltd, says the show will be a hit among all age groups.

“Simply put, it is an outstanding entertainer…something that the whole family can watch together. The combination of a super star host, bizarrely challenging obstacles, enthusiastic and competitive contestants and a whole lot of bloopers will make this show a must watch, night after night,” said Nair.

The shooting will begin in Argentina in January.

SRK extends a friendly hand to Salman and Farah…

On the chat show Koffee With Karan, Shahrukh Khan made a solo appearance and took the opportunity to apologize his friends, Farah Khan and Salman Khan.

When host and dost Karan Johar asked SRK about the people who are no longer on talking terms with him, SRK gave a surprising reply.

“Shah Rukh said that if they weren’t talking to him, it could probably be his fault,” as source is quoted to have told a tabloid.

He declared publicly that he wanted to bury the old rivalry and wanted to befriend Salman and Farah again. His relationship with Salman Khan turned ugly when he involved in a spat with Salman during Katrina Kaif’s birthday years back. From then, they stopped seeing each other. Farah Khan, on the other hand, fell out with her once-favourite friend after SRK reportedly objected to her leaving him out of her film Tees Maar Khan and signing Akshay Kumar instead.

Hope, Salman and Farah are listening. And yeah! SRK, we love you even more for this.. 

Mob gives a tough time to Shahrukh and Priyanka

Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra were mobbed at the international airport when they landed in Mumbai from Berlin on Monday. Quite expected anyway!

Well, it is quite a known face that Piggy Chops has a huge fan following all over the world and when seen with King Khan, the combined star power obviously attracted a huge crowd, trying to have a glimpse of their favourite stars..

But, I wonder, Shahrukh, who could beat up hundreds of men in reel life, couldn’t protect her from the crowd!
