'For some Dreams, One Lifetime is Not Enough.'

Farah Khan on SRK,Om Shanti Om and her soon-to-arrive triplets!

Farah Khan is eagerly anticipating the release of her second film,Om Shanti Om and her triplets.

The promos of Om Shanti Om came out last week and Farah Khan’s excited with the response. Apart from fine-tuning the film’s release (November 9), she’s also busy making constant trips to the gynaecologist to check up on her triplets, due in early February. She tells us how she’s been coping!

What’s the response to the promos?

Great! There have been mixed reactions, but nobody is indifferent. Our tagline is catchy – ‘For some dreams, one lifetime is not enough.’ It’s a very edgy, retro, new age promo done by two youngsters, Amit and Mukul, from Trigger Happy.

It shows glimpses of Shah Rukh (Khan) as a junior artiste and Deepika (Padukone) as a big star. SRK called up from London to say that the Eros website (distributing OSO), which features the promo, has got a record number of hits.

What made you sign a newcomer opposite SRK?

We didn’t want a big star. We wanted to present the actress as a big star of the ’70s, so any contemporary actress would not go down well.
Deepika plays a top South Indian star a la Hema Malini, called Shantipriya.Deepika has the looks, carriage, poise and smile — just like Hema Malini — and doesn’t look vulgar in the cabaret songs.

What do you like most about Deepika?

Apart from the first look, which I loved, Deepika’s a superb dancer, has the looks, body and a mobile face. She will become a great commercial heroine and we need actresses like her. In spite of being a teenager, Deepika has a lot of maturity. She’s dignified beyond her age.

There are tremendous expectations about OSO. Are you nervous?


I wasn’t nervous earlier, but I’m beginning to feel the heat now. We didn’t expect the film to get so hyped. It’s scary, yet exciting as it’s gone beyond our control now.

The kind of money offered to distribute the film and the reactions to the promos are overwhelming. From today, we launch our website too (omshantifilm.com), which will have everything from the film’s pictures to information, downloads and blogs.

Saawariya is also releasing on November 9. How do you feel about that?

I wish ours had been a solo release. I’m sure even Sanjay (Leela Bhansali) would have wanted it that way. Both films are of different genres. Saawariya should do well, but Om Shanti Om should do better!

Are you preparing for your new arrivals too?

Yes. I’m thrilled, pukey, tired and excited! I am not reading up on books on motherhood, as they don’t help. I have done some really difficult things, but I didn’t know being a mother would be so tiring. Most times I’m flat out on my back resting.

Juhi and SRK are back together to share some quality screen time

Share This Post

Juhi Chawla was conspicuous by her absence this year, however, she is back in the spotlight and is all set to share the screen space with Sharukh Khan after a long gap of 7 years in Ravi Chopra's 'Bhootnath'.

Sharukh Khan is the badshah of Bollywood, while Juhi has been his favourite love interest on screen, and after a long hiatus, they are coming together once again in Ravi Chopra's 'Bhootnath'.

When quizzed abour her pairing with her favourite co-star Sharukh, Juhi said:"It's going to be fun working with him. I have just worked for 1 day together. We have been doing lot of shooting without him right now."

The last time they came together was in 2000 in Aziz Mirza's 'Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani', and though, she did a cameo in Shahrukh Khan's film Paheli, she was cast opposite Suniel Shetty. So Ravi Chopra's film will bring the most lovable on-screen couple together after many years.

Sadly, Juhi Chawla's career graph has been on a downward slide. Her off-beat films like 'Jhankar Beats' and 'My Brother Nikhil' may have been critically acclaimed but her lastest films like 'Bas Ek Pal' and 'Swami' crashed and burned at the Box Office.

It seems that Juhi has learnt her lesson the hard way that there is no success like commercial success and so she is back with a bang this year with Ravi Chopra's 'Bhootnath' and Rakesh Roshan's 'Krazy4'.

Commenting on her forthcoming movies, Juhi said:"Bhootnath is a family film and is very funny in parts, very emotional in others," while "Krazy 4, which is produced by Rakesh Roshan and is directed by Jaideep Sen, ha a very interesting cast."
