Why Shah Rukh Romancing debutants

Shah Rukh is the King, no doubt. He’s proven this on several occasions. Even Newsweek, in its recent Most Powerful Men in Entertainment list, put him at #41.

Yet, in his last two films, he’s acted alongside debutants. In 2007, he romanced Deepika in Om Shanti Om and last month, we saw him dancing with Anushka Sharma in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.

So, why is the Baadshah not acting with established heroines like Rani and Priti Zinta? Well, the King does have an answer. He says, “Well I have crossed 40, and will soon have to retire. The senior actors will also have to do the same. So I thought I’d work with some younger girls. So later, when I’m old, they’d still want to work with me. Now do you understand why I am launching these new girls?”

Well, the workaholic Shah Rukh certainly has his retirement plan figured out.

Girls want to marry Shah Rukh Khan

Shah Rukh Khan is currently in LA with his upcoming film MY NAME IS KHAN gang. And the girls there are simply going berserk.

Every girl seems to be going up to Shah Rukh and telling him, that they want a husband like Surinder Sahani. 'One person even came up to him and said 'tujh mein Rab dikhta hai...,' informs a unitwala, 'All they seem to want is to marry Shah Rukh, their Surinder babu!'

Well, the movie seems to have Rab-bed them the right way. About Shah Rukh's reaction to all this, it's a simple and humble 'thank you'. But shaadi... no suri...oops, sorry, we mean!

'Marjaani'-- 2009's big item song

They tried to set the silver screen on fire 7 years back in 'Asoka' but failed. This time around Shahrukh Khan and Kareena Kapoor are back and with a bang. The year 2009 has the much-awaited 'Billu Barber' set for release and the sizzling hit song 'Marjanni'.

King Khan tells us a little about the tracks, "All the songs have been made in the same way as one would expect in a Hindi movie, so the song Marjanni is done with lots of dancers and then shouts of Marjaani which is a bit Punjabi and Sufi-ish, if I might say so but has more of a Punjabi beat to it.

"The album has a fun mix of songs that help take the movie out of the small town to a different world and brings it back. So there are these spikes in the film and I think they happen mailny because of the songs." Shahrukh added.

While its too soon to judge whether the film will be a hit or not, the groove does get going with this high octane track.
