Showstopper Farah Khan and SRK, who were once joint at the hip, seem to be growing apart after the director signed Akshay Kumar on for her next film.

Shah Rukh Khan takes the opportunity to promote his forthcoming film My Name Is Khan at the premier of Hollywood film Avatar.

SRK wants kids to watch Avatar

Last evening Shah Rukh Khan was the special guest at the screening of James Cameron's ,Avatar at a suburban Shahrukh khan with his family multiplex.

Shah Rukh was so enamoured after watching half the film, that he came out of hall and went up to the studio officials and requested them to organise a special screening for his two children and family members. The officials of the studio immediately assured him that they will do the needful.

A source said, "SRK has always been quite fond of science fiction and superhero films. Even as a child, he would always watch similar kind of films.This is why he immediately agreed to attend the special screening of Avatar.

He was also keen to attend the screening of Avatar at the suburban multiplex as the first theatrical promo of his new film My Name is Khan was scheduled to release during the screening. Everybody knows about SRK's love for superhero films so much so that he is right now in the process of making Ra.

One, which will be directed by Anubhav Sinha. SRK loved Avatar, which is why he also wants his kids to watch it."

Earlier this month, SRK's children couldn't wait to watch Paa and Amitabh Bachchan had sent some extra passes for them on SRK's request. "Aryan and Suhana love films and they would love to watch Avatar. The kids could not watch it last evening with SRK as they were busy with their school and studies," added the source.

Vijay Singh, Indian CEO of the company which produced Avatar, confirmed the news and said, "Shah Rukh was very excited about Avatar and the scale on which it was made. He requested another screening on Saturday so that he could watch the film again with his family. We will definitely and will decide on the venue and time today."

ShahRukh-Kajol starrer ‘My Name Is Khan’ to be unveiled on 18th December

The 1st looks of the much awaited Karan Johar movie that spins around an autistic Shah Rukh Khan amidst the backdrop of terrorism will be put on public display on 18th December along with the Indian release of James ‘Titanic’ Cameron’s ‘Avatar’.

The director Karan Johar, who kissed meteoric success with his mega-hits like ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’ and ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gam’, is pretty anxious and animated about the opening trailers. He is leaving no stone unturned in his desperate bid to create a huge frenzy after the teasers hit the screens next Friday. He has been working incessantly in the editor’s room as he wants the best possible look of the preliminary promos. And he’s certainly losing sleep over this. Primarily, because this is his most proactive mega-project and secondly, because his last film ‘Kabhi Alwidaa Na Kehna’ was given a thumbs down by both critics and the spectators.

We hope, this time around, he will create the right buzz and the final product will be worth a watch. The film releases on last quarter of February.

Karan sleepless for My Name is Khan

Karan Johar knows that first impression is the last impression. The first look of his much-awaited film My Name is Khan all set to hit the theatres on December 18 with the Hollywood blockbuster Avatar.

As a result, Karan is having sleepless nights just to make sure that the first look creates the right buzz about the film. Karan did not sleep starting Saturday morning to Monday morning as he was busy finalising the first look of My Name is Khan.

A source said, "My Name is Khan, starring Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol, is one of Karan's most ambitious film to date more so because it is a subject that he has never attempted to make so far. He also cancelled his trip to LA to finalise the film's first look over the weekend. He reached office early on Saturday morning to start working on the edit and didn't stop till Monday morning 7am. He must have barely taken an hour-long nap in those two days. SRK too joined him on Saturday night and they had a meeting about how they plan to go about promoting the film. SRK saw some portions of the first theatrical promo and then left the Dharma Productions office early on Sunday morning. However, Karan continued to work and only left on Monday morning after he was satisfied with the first look."

Karan remained unavailable for comment. He probably was catching up on his sleep after the marathon edit session.

MY NAME IS KHAN to open with AVATAR!

From the time Karan Johar's Shahrukh Khan & Kajol starrer MY NAME IS KHAN has associated with 20th Century Fox Star Studios, it has opened new avenues for Bollywood in Hollywood!

So folks get set to enjoy the best of both the worlds this winter!
