Hrithik watch out, John look around, Salman keep that shirt on

Share This Post

Shahrukh Khan gets his groove back in Om Shanti Om the big 70s style musical and you can safely expect Farah Khan's second Bollywood splash to pull out all the stops.

Few can shake it like Sharhukh, this we know. But now he might just be ready to out dance himself!

In Om Shanti Om's Dard-e-Disco expect to see King Khan cutting loose like never before. And that's not so easy.

But they had the perfect solution, they decided to grin and bare it!

"He is not at all he was in Chak De.He is big and flamboyant, fun and entertaining and over the top.He is singing songs and he has also done a bare chested number in the film for the first time like half Monty and there are big songs," said Farah Khan.

Especially since he's playing a struggling actor. Add 70's Bollywood as a backdrop, romance with a brand new leading lady and Farah Khan's second offering as a director could well have the box office dancing along.

"This is more closer to Farah's heart because it deals with cinema of 70's and of 2007. It's a film about reincarnation so it has all the trappings of commercial film and we have tried our best to make it a good story telling and not just go over the top to make it commercial but hopefully say something nice through the film so people have two and half hours of fun," said Shahrukh.

So Hrithik watch out, John look around, Salman keep that shirt on. There's a new six pack hitting the screens and its set to take on the town.

Farah Khan will recreate the magic of 70's by presenting her new girl, Deepika Padukone romancing with the 70's legends Sunil Dutt, Rajesh Khanna and Jeetendra in her forthcoming flick, Om Shanti Om.

Farah Khan has left no stone unturned to give realistic essence to the film. All this was made possible with special effects created by SRK's Visual Effects company Red Chillies VFX.

Farah added that visual effects had been used in the song where Deepika dances with Sunil Dutt, Jeetendra and Rajesh Khanna. Deepika plays the character of a star from the 70's era, and thus, dances around the leading actors of that decade. Farah is very excited about seeing the legendary heroes dancing again on screen.

A similar sequence was created in the opening scene Jaan-e-Mann, directed by Farah’s husband, Shirish Kunder, where Salman receives an award and is surrounded by the actors of the 70’s.

Om Shanti Om stars Shah Rukh, Deepika Padukone and Shreyas Talpade in lead roles. The film will hit the screens on November 9.

SRK's Chak De! India declared a Super hit !

Share This Post

With the fourth week of CHAK DE INDIA also holding quite strong in spite of competition from more popular cinema like HEYY BABYY, this Shimit Amin/Jaideep Sahni/Shahrukh Khan film is now a SUPERHIT.

Less than 50% in the third week has resulted in 8.5 crore more coming in to bring the total to 45 crores. This is for a movie that was stated to be offbeat/unconventional to begin with and had doubts around it's entertainment quotient! Collecting close to 1.75 crore from Mumbai, 1.2 crores from Delhi and 65 lakhs further from Delhi NCR, CHAK DE INDIA is a winner all over.

The film's anthem composed by Salim-Sulaiman is now the sports anthem across India as well as abroad, something that can be witnessed from all the victory cheers around recent cricket and hockey wins for India. Many girls from the film are also being noticed with Vidya Malvade getting a fresh lease in her career and Sagarika Ghatge getting the best of offers.
