We are living in an uncertain world: SRK

Underlining that people were living in an "uncertain" world, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan today said that one should abstain from indulging in inhuman activities in the name of God as no religion supported such acts.

The actor said that a lot of uncertainty and hatred around the world was the manifestation of extreme religious viewpoints and misinterpretation of religion.

"If you want to kill please kill each other but stop using His (God's) name do it. God has not sanctioned wars, holy or unholy," he said while speaking at the Indian Today Conclave -- "Can Art Overcome Hatred?" Referring to the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks and the very recent attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team in Lahore, Khan said, "We are living in a hugely uncertain world. We are riding in the same boat. There is no hiding place for anyone anywhere in the world. We are very vulnerable." The actor said being a Muslim had never come in his way to success and fame.

"Without being pompous I can say that I am one of the leading stars of this country for the last 20 years and I am a Muslim by birth and I practice Isalm as religion. I am supposedly a big star in a supposedly Hindu-dominated nation. That speaks volumes about how art can transcend religion," said Shah Rukh.

Shahrukh Khan as God of love

Much has been speculated about Shahrukh Khan ’s role in director Mudassar Aziz’s film Dulha Mil Gaya .

The latest bit of rumour says the superstar plays the God of love in the Vivek Vaswani-produced film which has been in the making for god knows how long! SRK doesn’t play a naked winged boy with bow and arrow in hands. He rather plays a serene God of love who even indulges in some stunts.

It can be recalled that while shooting one of these stunts, SRK injured his shoulder and had to recently undergo a surgery at a Mumbai hospital.

However, SRK doesn’t play a central role in ‘Dulha Mil Gaya’. He’s not even second fiddle to the lead hero Fardeen Khan .

Sources say SRK has just a guest appearance that’s restricted to a few scenes and a song that’s yet to be shot on SRK, Fardeen and the film’s leading lady, Sushmita Sen .

The film got stuck on floors after producer Vivek Vaswani increased SRK’s role from a cameo to a full-fledged one, much to the dismay of the superstar who’s apparently doing the film for free since Vaswani is, or at least was, his friend.

Don 2 to go on floors April 2010

After releasing Don – The Chase Begins as one of the mega Bollywood Diwali releases in 2006, director Farhan Aktar is planning to release the sequel Don 2 in a Diwali bonanza in 2010.

When asked about the delays in shoot Farhan replied, “Don 2 requires a summer shoot and since in the summer of 2009 both me and Shah Rukh, being both busy with our acting assignments, the shoot for our film will only begin next summer which is of 2010.”

Sources however have revealed that Priyanka Chopra will also be starring in the sequel opposite Shah Rukh Khan when the film goes to floor in April 2010. The director/actor/singer, who has recently led a full diary due to films Rock On!! and Luck By Chance, has no time to sit in the director’s chair until the summer of next year.

Sources added “Direction is Farhan’s first love and he likes to direct films, but only one film in two - three years. He did Dil Chahta Hai in 2001, Lakshya in 2004, Don in 2006 and so in 2010, one will see a film from him, for sure.”

Don 2 which is said to be a continuation of Don has been in the pipeline for a while with the script currently being prepared by Farhan Aktar, who is also handling the pre-production work required for the film.
