It looks like there could be a new addition to King Khan's resume. After being a superstar, producing megahits and owning an IPL team, he now wants to try his hand at designing clothes.

SRK to design for KJO

It seems there could be an addition to King Khan's resume. Being a superstar, producing megahits and owning an IPL team is clearly not enough to keep Shah Rukh Khan occupied. The Bollywood Badshah now wants to be a designer as well.

Vogue magazine's second anniversary issue celebrates the power of two with Shah Rukh and his ultimate leading lady Kajol. But there is another element to this power pair. And that is the director of their forthcoming film, their good friend, their interviewer and, evidently, their style guru as well - Karan Johar - who admits, "It's undoubtedly me; out of the three of us, I definitely take the style crown."

We're not arguing the point. But even if Karan's got his couture down pat, Shah Rukh is not letting that dampen his own aspirations as a budding designer.

"I will be designing an outfit for Karan, which he will wear for his show. I think he makes me look very dandified and I want him to look a little more relaxed. So me and Shiraz, who sometimes designs for me, are putting together an outfit for him," says Shah Rukh.

And what does Karan, who will make his own debut as a fashion designer at the forthcoming Couture Week, make of this? "Shah Rukh doesn't like my clothes. So he said he would wear my clothes only if I walked in his!" admits the young filmmaker.

Well that's trade off we're only too happy to accept.

And if you're wondering when you can get your hands on the King Khan collection, it may take a while coming.

"Just in case you don't like what you see, it's because Karan is a bad model, and not because the clothes are bad," insists Shah Rukh.

The good news is that modelling is just another one of KJo's many skills. So if he pulls this one off, the King Khan line could be just a fashion rack away!

The downpour in the city yesterday forced Karan Johar to cancel the day's shoot of My Name Is Khan. The director has put up an elaborate set at Film City for the last schedule of the film.

KJO on a social networking site says, "Shooting held up because of sudden rain and thunder. Waiting for it to stop!"

SRK, Kajol back in Vogue

A couple that sets the screen on fire, a couple who can make make a million hearts beat faster, and a couple who's always in vogue...Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol.

The killer chemistry of the Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge couple is back and they embody the power of two. No other couple could have been more perfect for appearing on the second anniversary cover of Vogue magazine in India.

Shah Rukh said it is a 'relief' that he was finally picked to be on the cover of Vogue. He told NDTV, "I'm very excited I'm the Vogue cover. My wife was on the Vogue cover when it started off, and that's something everyone in the house teases me about that I have not made it to a cover that my wife did. So this is my claim to fame, and hopefully now I'll be looked up to in my house."

Despite the different camera, Kajol too had a good time, she said, "I expected it to be a lot tougher than it actually was, but everybody really rallied together and made us look fashionable, so we didn't have to try too hard."

It certainly is a casting coup- in more ways than one, because however hard it may be to believe this, neither of the two fit comfortably into their modeling shoes. They both insist that the differences between the still and moving camera are manifold and needless to say, in front of the movie camera, they are nothing short of perfect.

And a modest SRK said the reason he doesn't do too many cover shoots is simply because, "(he's) no good at it."

Both swear the differences between still and moving camera are manifold, so do they have a few fallback faces when faced with a lens they do not love?

Says SRK, "We are not the best people to be posing, we don't pout, we don't know how to smile, we don't know which side to look. We do silly things, we laugh, we joke, we kept looking in the wrong direction."

And what makes them the hottest couple? Well they are hardly in the mood to deliberate on that. Kajol said, "We have done so many films together that have done well, and they happen to be love stories...I think it is great. I don't understand it myseof so I can't explain it."

There are still many months left for the release of My Name is Khan, their comeback movie as a couple, and till then, this will have to do for the fans.
