"SRK to attend Paa premiere" - Big B

They say Bollywood is one big family. And attending premieres of each other's films certainly a part and parcel of the ways of the tinsel town. In a latest, Amitabh Bachchan has confirmed that Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan will grace the premiere of Paa, where Big B plays a 13-year old boy afflicted by the rare disease progeria.

Bachchan writes on his blog, "And now for the bad news. The London and Dubai premieres stand cancelled. Several issues have cropped up and it would not be prudent to go ahead with it, under such uncertain pressures and circumstances. But Mumbai is on ... at the IMAX Wadala on the 3rd of December and Aamir and Shah Rukh have both assured me of their presence there, today, as I begin to send out letters and requests to block said date from the Industry."

In the same post, Bachchan praised the regional press for their incisive questions and informed fans that he's going to Chennai to "get an idea of the mechanics that go behind a final product - background and sound and effects and titles and sub titles."

Sure, there's a lot that goes behind making a film. Especially, when you have the biggest star of Bollywood in it.

Katrina keen to sign SRK for her film‎

If sources are to be believed, Katrina Kaif is all set to turn a producer. And guess what? She wants to cast Shah Rukh Khan in the lead opposite herself.

Kareena has zeroed in on a French film that's she's really liked and is going to remake it in Hindi after acquiring the rights.

With almost all her movies becoming big hits, Katrina is now thinking about some serious business. Nowadays she is seen taking keen interest in the finer points of film production and is also meeting a lot of trade guys.

She is interacting a lot with the producers whom she has worked with to get some in-depth knowledge about filmmaking.

Katrina was also seen bonding very well with SRK at Subhash Ghai's party recently. At that time itself rumours were doing rounds that the two are planning to do a film together. However, it seemed that SRK has offered a role to Kat, but now it is the other way round, with Katrina offering him a role in her film.

Katrina feels that there is no other actor as romantic as Shah Rukh and so for her romantic movie, SRK will be the man for her.

Did we read Salman anywhere? Probably he is not part of Kat's love story!

SRK’s dadagiri over Ganguly

It’s SRK’s turn to do a bit of Dadagiri now. And that too with Sourav Ganguly. Speculation was rife about who the celebrity guest would be for the grand finalé of Dada’s quiz show.

The one name that frequently came up was that of King Khan. With Sourav as the Knight Riders’ captain, it was but obvious for many to guess that the Badshah would come down to Kolkata for Dada’s gameshow.

News is that SRK has indeed given his nod to this. Says Sanjoy Chatterjee, senior VP and business head of the regional channel, which airs the show, “It’s confirmed that SRK is coming down in mid-December for shooting the grand finalé. Due to the highly competitive environment, we can’t divulge any further details about the format of that show. Besides, we are also talking about two very high profile celebs.” Ask Chatterjee how much of clout Sourav wielded in getting SRK on board and he says, “Dada has played an important role in getting SRK. Dada is extremely involved with the show and interacts freely with both celeb guests as well as regular participants on the show.”

It now remains to be seen how SRK fields Dada’s googly on the sets!

Shah Rukh - KJo disagree over ‘My Name Is Khan’ release date

Best friends Shah Rukh Khan and Karan Johar finally have an issue to disagree upon. According to reports, when SRK and KJo announced the release date (February 14) of their much-anticipated flick ‘My Name Is Khan’, many numerologists and astrologers told them that the date wasn`t favourable and since Karan is a firm believer of numerology, he expressed his reservations to SRK. But SRK shrugged off the debate and is insisting on releasing the flick on the date decided previously.

Industry sources suggest that KJo doesn’t want to take any chances as ‘MNIK’ is his most special project and person saying that the film might not do well at the Box- Office is perturbing the filmmaker.

Well, why does anyone have to think about numerology in Shah-Rukh and Kajol’s magical presence.

Hrithik’s ‘Kites’ delayed further because of SRK’s ‘MNIK’

Heartthrob Hrithik Roshan seems very careful with his much-anticipated flick ‘Kites’. According to the latest news, the release date of the film has been delayed further because Shah Rukh’s ‘My Name Is Khan’ is releasing around the same time.
Reports reveal that the release of ‘Kites’ has been postponed to March 2010 apparently because the Rohans don’t want to take any risk and are wary of ‘MNIK’, which is releasing in February next year. However, grapevine has it that the actual reason of the delay I that Roshans haven’t been able to find an overseas distributor has yet.

Refuting the rumours, Roshans’ spokesperson said that a distributor has been found, and the delay is only because Rakesh Roshan wants it that way.

Well, we can easily believe this. Who wouldn’t be scared of a SRK-Kajol starrer, a couple that manages far more fiery chemistry in one scene than all the Mori-Hrithik skin-show put together.

Shah Rukh Khan gets busy

Shah Rukh Khan is going to get busy. He plans to produce a new movie titled Always Kabhi Kabhi that marks the directorial debut of industry veteran Roshan Abbas.

The movie is a launch pad for four new faces including Zoa Morani the daughter of Karim Morani, a family SRK is very close to for years.

A source said, “Shah Rukh wants his role to be only that of a producer this time. This is a big exception because he has produced eight movies so far and in all of them he has either had the lead role or did cameos.”

The insider added, “He will supervise the shooting, marketing and advertising plans and will also be creatively involved with the movie by going through the script and suggesting things that he feels would be beneficial for the project. Since the movie will star Zoa, he will make sure that she gets a big launch as the Moranis and he go back a long way. The Moranis are his friends and they manage his stage shows.”

Shah Rukh is at present preoccupied with two acting projects- My Name is Khan and Ra- 1. Ra-1 is also a home production.

Meanwhile the government of Malacca is trying to rope him in for a stage show. Malacca state conferred the award of Datuk, akin to British knighthood, on Khan last December. It hopes he will keep his promise to shoot for his next film “Happy New Year” in the state.

Assuming that he will combine a concert with the shoot, plans are afoot to get Khan to perform on December 11 in Malacca.

Aftab Shivdasani grateful to SRK for helping with Aao Wish Karein

Aftab Shivdasani, who has turned producer with his just-released “Aao Wish Karein”, says he is grateful to superstar Shah Rukh Khan for having lent his voice to promote the fairytale love story.

“I was looking for a very popular voice… which people can easily recognise and could think only of Shah Rukh. He readily agreed to lend his voice and I am thankful to him for that,” Aftab told IANS.

K Jo excited about My Name Is Khan

While Karan Johar may be having a release on Nov 20 in the form of Kurbaan, he is also excited about the release of his other film next year.

My Name Is Khan is all set to release in theatres across the country as well as at the international box office in February 2010.

The movie stars Karan’s close pals Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol in lead roles. The onscreen chemistry of the two stars has been one of the favorite pairings in Bollywood.

Like his other films, My Name Is Khan will also be a story packed with love, emotions and lot of drama.

First Look : Shah Rukh Khan in Dulha Mil Gaya

After making many headlines, Dulha Mil Gaya is finally ready for release. The film is directed by Mudassar Aziz, produced by Viveck Vaswani and stars Fardeen Khan, Sushmita Sen & Shah Rukh Khan has a guest appearance.

Guest appearance ? Well, Shah Rukh is on screen for 45 minutes in the second half of the film, but he hasnt charged anything for it. Its all for good ol’ Dostana! When Shah Rukh came to Mumbai and had no place to stay, it was Vaswani who opened his doors for SRK! No pun intended, if you have heard different version of the story!

We reports that the film has finally found a buyer in Rajat Jhunjhunwala, a finance professional with an investment and restructuring background who is making his foray into bollywood. Click on the video to check out the trailer of the film. The quality is not good but its easy to figure out that they are trying to sell it as a Shah Rukh Khan film.
