SRK & Kareena Together again

Kareena Kapoor is keen to act opposite Shah Ruk Khan in the SciFi film Robot to be directed by Tollywood's Shankar and produced by Shah Rukh Khan's Red Chillies Entertainment.

Shankar recently directed Rajnikanth in the super hit Sivaji The Boss

Kareena probably realizes that repeatedly appearing in films opposite beau Shahid Kapoor may be very romantic but isn't going to stop the slide in her career.

The highest paid actress at one time, Kareena has seen her paycheck steadily reduce as she delivered one flop after the other.

Kareena and Shah Rukh Khan were last paired in Ashoka the Great (2001) which was also produced by Shah Rukh Khan.

The 26-year-old has always been unabashed and effusive in praising Shah Rukh Khan when speaking to the press and with the career having nosedived it may well be right time to cash in on the goodwill that she must have accumulated.

A role opposite Shah Rukh Khan could deliver her the hit that would once again see her demanding between Rs 1 to 2 crores per film as in the past, instead of the measly Rs 75 Lakhs that she has to do with now.

A source told the Mumbai Mirror that Kareena has already paid a visit to Shah Rukh Khan at his residence in Bandra to lobby for the role.

"Ever since Kareena heard that SRK was the leading man of Robot, she immediately made up her mind to do that film too. The actress visited SRK's Bandra home, Mannat, and in the presence of Gauri Khan, said that she should be considered for the female lead in Shankar's Robot."

Om Shanti Om: Pyarelal tunes it right

The talent of music maestro Pyarelal, of the legendary Laxmikant-Pyarelal duo, reached new heights in Farah Khan's new film Om Shanti Om.

In 1980, Subhash Ghai's Karz starring Rishi Kapoor and Tina Munim was a hit with chartbusting music by top music directors Laxmikant-Pyarelal and a plotline about reincarnation and revenge.

Now Farah Khan's Om Shanti Om uses not only the same theme but also the actual making of Karz as the backdrop of her film starring Shahrukh Khan and Dipika Padukone.

OSO's musical score written by Vishal-Shekhar also has Pyarelal from the original team contributing a number.

"We had gone to Yash Chopra's house for the recording of Om Shanti Om. Vishal and Shekar were present. After some discussions they asked me to record one song for the film," said Pyarelal, Music Director.

In keeping with the film-within-a-film theme Farah Khan has ingeniously given OSO's music a retro twist harking back to the psychedelic 70s.

The title track of Farah's film, composed by Pyarelal, is a clever piece of filming, not to mention a star studded one.

Expect to see practically every star in the film fraternity joining in to shake it with the lead pair.
