No haircut for Shah Rukh Khan !

Dulha Mil Gaya, featuring Sushmita Sen and Fardeen Khan, is in doldrums. Apparently, Shah Rukh Khan, who makes a special appearance in the film, is reluctant to chop his long mane. Khan, who has already shot for a few days in a cropped haircut, cannot resume shooting till he goes back to his previous cropped look. This has led to an unexpected delay while the desperate producer Viveck Vaswani is trying hard to convince good friend Shah Rukh to head to the barber's shop.

Our source says, "The film is held up because of a disagreement over Shah Rukh's look. Viveck wants SRK to go back to his usual look sans ponytail, but the actor is not in a mood to cut his hair. His long hair has become a rage of sorts."

In circles where it really matters, the buzz is that Shah Rukh attaches more importance to Ravi Chopra's production, Bhootnath and therefore, is unable to give out dates for Dulha Mil Gaya. A source close to the actor informs, "SRK wants to complete Bhootnath first. It is high on his priority list and hence, he has been delaying Dulha Mil Gaya. Almost eight days of shooting are still left."

When quizzed about it, producer Viveck Vaswani confirms that portions featuring Shah Rukh are yet to be shot. He says, "We are yet to complete shooting with Shah Rukh."

Is Shah Rukh expected to do away with his ponytail in to maintain the continuity of the film? Viveck reacts, "Why are you questioning me about this? I myself haven't figured that out."

Ask him about SRK's obvious preference for Bhootnath over Dulha Mil Gaya, Viveck says, "SRK had signed Bhootnath much before Dulha Mil Gaya. So it is only obvious that he will concentrate on finishing it before Dulha Mil Gaya."

Shah Rukh Khan was unavailable for comment.
