European summer for SRK's MNIK

Karan Johar is working doubly hard for the European release of his blockbuster, My Name Is Khan, which starred Shah Rukh Khan. "We are entering the second phase of the release of My Name is Khan. The film will be released in markets such as Poland and Germany in a week.

After that, we will also go ahead with a more mainstream release in the US around May 7," says the director, calling his film India's "first truly global movie". Karan had earlier said he would be deleting most of the Wilhelmina flood part from the movie for the Western audience.

But now, he reveals that he had actually shot much more of that but had cut out a sizeable portion of it even for the Indian prints.

"So, if you thought that part bored you, be thankful we didn't show all that we shot originally," he quips.

We wonder if MNIK manages to smash records in Europe as well.

Madame Tussauds Hong Kong features Shahrukh

Shahrukh Khan, or rather his wax likeness, is making a special appearance at Madame Tussauds Hong Kong, while Khan himself is on location in India filming his latest movie RA One.

On loan for three months from London, Shahrukh Khan will take his place at the attraction alongside other movie stars and film producers such as Jackie Chan, Harrison Ford and Johnny Depp.

Bret Pidgeon, General Manager of Madame Tussauds Hong Kong and Shanghai said, “Madame Tussauds Hong Kong has been receiving many more tourists from India in the last two years.

While these guests enjoy meeting our unique collection of over 100 international celebrities and world leaders, we are delighted to have Khan join our attraction as his temporary home. We will continue to look for other opportunities in bringing celebrities from other backgrounds to enhance the experience at the attraction for our international guests.”
