Shah Rukh Khan still unfit for Ra.One stunts!

Shah Rukh Khan, the badshah of bollywood who is desperate to do daring stunt sequences for Anubhav Sinha directed flick Ra.One, has been advised by doctors to resist from doing action sequences for two more months.

Sources say that Dr Ali Irani, who examined King Khan’s shoulder injury on Wednesday, was of the view that Shah Rukh Khan would have to continue with his physiotherapy and theraband exercises for two more months to be able to do action sequences in his films. In fact, Shah Rukh Khan’s shoulder injury has recuperated to almost ninety percent and there are indications that it would completely heal within two months, if Shah Rukh Khan could take proper care of it.

Doctors have warned Shah Rukh Khan to continue with theraband exercises even during outdoor shooting spells, as only that can strengthen his injured shoulder muscles.

Earlier, Shah Rukh Khan’s sci-fi ‘Ra.One’ had been postponed due to his shoulder injury as the film required King Khan to perform breath taking action sequences. Sources say that Shah Rukh plays a superman in the film and so the stunt sequences were the backbone of the whole venture.

At that time Shah Rukh had started the shooting of Karan Johar’s flick ‘My Name Is Khan’ to utilize the time, made available by the postponement of ‘Ra.One’, as it (Karan’s flick) needed only intense emotional sequences.

This time too, history seems to be repeating itself with ‘Ra.One’ getting postponed for Farah Khan’s upcoming flick ‘Happy Birth Day’, which does not require King Khan to flex his muscles. Another reason, said to have gone in favor of Farah Khan, is that Eros people were not very enthusiastic about Anubhav Sinha’s film, while they were more trusting towards Farah Khan genre of filmmaking.

It may be recalled that it all had started with Sushmita Sen starrer flick ‘Dulha Mil Gaya’, wherein Shah Rukh was playing a cameo. While enacting a sequence in the film, Shah Rukh injured his left shoulder, and he was advised to take rest till the shoulder was fully healed.

Shah Rukh Khan had also undergone an arthroscopy surgery in February 2008 for his troubled shoulder at reputed Breach Candy hospital, and since then has been under medical supervision.

Update: SRK-Ash jodi back together!

Time heals all wounds, especially in the entertainment business, and none would vouch for this truism of life more than super icons Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

Remember, they parted on a sour note after her hasty departure from his home production Chalte Chalte six years ago?

She had already canned a portion of the film when Salman Khan reportedly landed on the sets... and, well, the rest as they say is history.

Post that scene, SRK let Ash off the hook and took Rani Mukerji as his leading lady. And, since then, many big banners including Yashraj and Dharma failed to reunite the pair that created such magic in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Devdas.

Subsequently, though the Bollywood Badshah wasn’t invited to the Ash-Abhishek wedding, King Khan and wife Gauri posed with the Bachchans for the shutterbugs at the Drona premiere last year. And more recently, at Karan Johar’s birthday party on May 25, the two couples — SRK and Gauri, Ash and Abhi — spent quality time together.

In the light of this thawing of relations, comes the news of cinematographer-director Rajiv Menon (whose Kandukonden Kandukonden in Tamil had Tabu and Ash) reuniting the SRK-Ash jodi. Menon is said to have flown to London to narrate a dramatic script (with Ash in mind) to Shah Rukh, which the actor liked.

At this point of his career, SRK is looking to do films that explore his dramatic intensity as in Devdas. He has no problems working with Ash and she with him. At Karan’s birthday, the Bachchans and Khans got along famously. Rajiv Menon’s film is being seen as a natural progression towards mending the bridges between two of the most powerful families of Bollywood.
