MJ's Brother Jermaine planning a holiday with SRK

He came, he saw, and he made friends with the biggest names in Bollywood. Last week, after Shah Rukh Khan hosted a party in his honour, Jermaine Jackson, the brother of the late King of Pop, is all praises for King Khan's hospitality. "His party was good fun. The food was amazing and I interacted with several Bollywood stars.

Priyanka Chopra is very beautiful," he says. About his growing friendship with King Khan, he says, he found SRK "humble and nice." He adds, "Shah Rukh and I are planning a holiday together when he comes down to the US."

Prior to his first India visit, Jermaine's one-point contact in Bollywood was his ex-Big Brother housemate Shilpa Shetty. "Shilpa's like a sister to me and we were each other's support throughout the show. We kept in touch even after the show ended," he says.

Having been in India for three weeks now, the singer is happy at the successful completion of the video, which brought him here. "I wrote this song, Let's go to crystal city that we later changed to Let's go to Mumbai city. We shot the video in different locations across Mumbai. It was a great experience to see the Taj Mahal Hotel, the Gateway of India, the slums and railway stations. We even went to a mosque," he says.

Having worked on the video with musician Adnan Sami, he says, "I'd [originally] planned to do this song with my brother, Michael."

DDLJ turns 15 at Maratha Mandir today

If thespian Dilip Kumar's film `Mughal-E-Azam' ran at Maratha Mandir for over six years, Shah Rukh Khan-starrer `Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge' has completed 14 years of continuous run at the same theatre. The film enters its 15th year on Tuesday at Maratha Mandir and the exhibitor is quite optimistic that the theatre will have a houseful board.

Managing director of Maratha Mandir, Manoj Desai, said, "The film completes 14 years in our cinema hall and we still get at least 60-70% occupancy on weekdays and a houseful board on weekend and holidays. Whoever claims that it is not doing well can come and check our cinema hall.''

Desai added, "Even Dilip Kumar's `Mughal-E-Azam' had a record run at Maratha Mandir before we took over the cinema hall. The film ran for nearly six years and the first three years in full shows. `Mughal-E-Azam' released in Maratha Mandir with bookings for seven weeks before the first show of the film.''

One of the main reasons DDLJ still gets an audience is the ticket pricing. Manager Ramesh Vajpayee says, "Balcony tickets are for Rs 22, Dress circle for Rs 20 and stall tickets for Rs 18.''

Desai said, "Yashraj gives us the rental and we do good enough business for both of us to be satisfied.''

Ramesh Sippy's `Sholay' ran at Minerva theatre for more than five years. `Sholay' was the first film to celebrate silver jubilee at over 100 theatres. The film released on August 15, 1975, and cinema hall did not open its current booking for nearly 75 weeks.

Trade analyst Amod Mehra recalls spending only Rs 2.50 paise to watch `Sholay' at Minerva. He said, "The era when films ran for weeks, months or years will never return. We don't even hear of a film completing a silver jubilee (25 weeks) at a cinema.''

Strangely, not many know that Ashok Kumar's anti-hero film, `Kismet', that released in 1943 ran for nearly three years in Mumbai and Kolkata theatres. It was with this film that Ashok Kumar became the most sought-after actor.

"My grudges with Shahrukh Khan are not national issue": Salman Khan

The macho man of Bollywood Salman Khan said that he is fed up of giving his grudges with Shahrukh Khan a "National Issue". He also said that he doesn't talk to King Khan but why it has been hyped as a national issue.

the dashing actor also stated that it's not an issue of India and Pakistan, that it has been hyping it this much. We should concentrate on other important issues of our country. He really wants to get rid of questions asked by media that what actually happened between him and Shahrukh Khan at the birthday bash of Katrina Kaif.

On saying for the relationship, Salman said that the friendship is a beautiful relation which is always with you when you are in any kind problem and a friend is a person who could save you from other stresses of the life too.

Salman Khan on remembering his old childhood friends said, "When we enter in to a profession, all the people who become our friends are just the professional friends."
