Shah Rukh Khan grants start to finish dates to Karan

It pays to be friends with Shah Rukh Khan. The man, who is known for winning pals and confidantes with his charisma, surely knows how to keep them happy and glued to his side. The actor in a rare gesture to please his good old pal Karan Johar has grated him back-to-back dates for the director's close-to-heart project 'My Name is Khan'.

Going by King Khan's jam-packed schedule next year, the start to finish dates surely comes as a big surprise. But when it's concerning Karan, then we are sure that badshah does not mind walking a few extra miles.

A news daily quoted a source as saying, "Yes, Shah Rukh has given a bulk dates from December 15. He will be shooting in various places in America in a start-to-finish schedule. This will be for the first time that a SRK film will be completed in one schedule".

Well, good deed King Khan! But going back in time, we are reminded of the same gesture by Salman Khan to the filmmakers of 'London Dreams'. Just like Shah Rukh, Sallu too had finished the shoot of the film in a single start to finish shoot.

Hmmm... looks like they are competing to score a point over each other in goodness!

´Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi´ Yash Raj´s Only Hope Now!

Yash Raj Films' 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi', due on 12th December, just two weeks before Aamir Khan's 'Ghajini', has Shah Rukh Khan and Aditya Chopra as its two biggest USPs. While Shah Rukh has acted in many films, 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' is only the third directorial project of Aditya Chopra. He had made 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge' in 1995 and 'Mohabbatein' in 2000, both starring Shah Rukh Khan. Yet another interesting aspect of 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' is that Adi is introducing a new girl, Anushka Sharma, in the film as the female lead.

The Yash Raj banner has been delivering mostly duds in the last two years but the trade is prepared to overlook this point this one time.

There’s also a scientific reason why one need not be bothered about the line of flops or average grossers churned out by Yash Raj Films in the recent years. For, its only super-hit during this time has been its film with Shah Rukh Khan, viz. 'Chak De! India'. So that’s one more solid reason to hope that Aditya-SRK ne bana di super-hit!
