Kareena comes to Shahrukh's rescue

Shahrukh Khan is reported to be having real hard time shooting for Ra.One considering the weather conditions on the sets and difficult action sequences. Amidst of these things, one person who has come to his rescue and give him some peace is Kareena Kapoor which was recently exclaimed by Shahrukh himself.

“We have been shooting day and night. Weather was awful one day, shot was difficult another day. Kareena was beautiful every day. Now shoot in control.”

Well, looks like, Kareena’s all dreams are coming true with Ra.One. Firstly, to share the screen space in the lead role with SRK and then seeking a beautiful compliment as well.

Gauri Khan initiates to bring Shahrukh Khan and Ajay Devgan together

Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol, the legendary couple of “Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge” has been the most celebrated and admired couple of Bollywood since “Baazigar”. Their exclusive chemistry on on-screen has been real delight for die hard romantics. Their on-screen love that has been epitomized in subsequent movies after DDLJ has been rage among the lovers. They have been paired together for five consecutive blockbusters without giving any fodder to gossip mongers. The best couple has always stayed away from controversies. On the flip side, it is equally true that SRK and Kajol’s hubby have not been getting along well together.

Shahrukh and Ajay’s relations seemed to get a novel turn for the better. SRK’s wife Gauri Khan has taken the initiative to overcome alleged animosity. Recently, designer Anna Singh hosted a party to celebrate her hubby’s birthday Jaiveer. The occasion was graced by several socialites including Gauri Khan, Bhavna Pandey, Neelam Kothari and Ajay Devgan. When Gauri Khan speckled Ajay Devgan in Jaiveer’s party, she all the way ascended towards him and congratulated him for his wonderful performance in “Once Upon a Time in Mumbai”. Ajay Devgan too reciprocated her compliments humbly.

It is said that time is great healer. But this saying has not worked in their case so far. The clash started 15 years back after their casting for Karan Arjun (1995) fell through. But this conversation between spouses of SRK and Kajol signals the cheery twist in SRK and Devgan’s relations.

It may be the best time to resolve the clashes between SRK and Devgan as DDLJ is going to complete 800 weeks. The celebrations will be multiplied for both of the couples. The news is really matter of merry making for Yash Raj Films. The movie has already been recorded in Guinness’s Book of World Records. Also it has surpassed the success story of “Sholay”. It is the only movie to gain the pride of running 800 weeks altogether. And this one calls for celebrations on the part of Yash Raj Films who have planned to rejoice the success of movie in Feb, 2011.

Shahrukh Khan to play Awadh emperor?

Paris-based Indian filmmaker Vijay Singh is in talks with Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan for his next project, an 18th century historical love story between an Awadh king and a British girl.

Singh, who has shot critically acclaimed feature films like Jaya Ganga and One Dollar

Curry in the past feels that Shah Rukh, who has previously played emperor Ashoka, will be perfect as Nawab Naseeruddin Haidar in his third film, The Opium Symphony, based on his book Whirlpool of Shadows.

"I had met Shah Rukh regarding the movie and he had liked the idea. I am planning to approach him again for the role of the Nawab. He ruled Awadh from 1826-36 and fell in love with a British girl but their love did not suit the interest of opium traders at that time," Singh said in an interview.

SRK"I have had a long association with Shah Rukh and wanted to cast him in Jaya Ganga but he was very busy at that time and things did not fall into place," he added.

In the city for the screening of his latest documentary India by Song, the writer is also looking for a face to star opposite SRK.

"I have good vibes with Shah Rukh and I need a descent actor so he is the perfect choice. Earlier I was planning to take a Hollywood starlet opposite him for the role of the British girl but I might talk to Katrina Kaif. I have been told she is British and is a fine actress," Singh said.

"The film will be very expensive, to be made on a budget of 60-70 crores. My screenplay is adapted from one part of the story but I might make it a bit more contemporary," he added.

India by Song, his latest film goes into the country's history through Bollywood and reflects the sheer impact of films on Indian society.

Woven around a long journey across the country, Singh chronicles Indian history from the time of independence to present with real persons representing the different era's that the nation has passed through, with Bollywood songs in the backdrop.

Encompassing diverse lifestyles and coming from all backgrounds, he has interviewed the likes of NR Narayan Murthy-Chairman of Infosys, historian-Romila Thapar, cricketer-Bishen Singh Bedi, Uday Shankar-CEO of Star TV, Mahasha Dharmapal of MDH spices group to choreographer Saroj Khan and Anjali, a domestic maid in Mumbai.

Has Shahrukh lost interest in Ra.One?

Shahrukh Khan has so far been quite upbeat about his upcoming action-packed venture Ra.One. King Khan however, seems to be losing interest in action movies as his preference of romance over action says it all.

He confesses the same on the micro-blogging site, “Harness hugging my crotch. No crying but eyes water because of smoke. No wind in my hair but sugar glass. Romantic heroes have more fun I think.”

Well, best buddy Karan Johar must have filled the void for him as the former directed the romantic shots between latter and Kareena Kapoor. But wonder, will SRK ever do action movie again.
