John Abraham loves SRK

John Abraham has fallen in love with Adi Chopra's Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. The actor has already watched the film twice and is determined to catch it again.

He cannot stop gushing about SRK's performance in the film and even messaged the actor congratulating him for his Suri act. He still hasn't deleted the message King Khan sent back to him.

An excited John reveals, "I walked in to to watch RNBDJ to see something simple, real; something I had never seen ever before and that is what I got."

The actor takes pains to stress that he went in to watch the movie as an audience and not as a member of the film industry, "Some moments really touched me, like Shah Rukh talking to the mannequin. It is very easy for people to critically point out 25,000 things wrong in a movie, but as an actor, I have done a lot worse. This film was beautiful and I wish people would look at this film and understand that there is a Suri and a Raj in everybody. Adi has got across two sides of a man so beautifully."

About Shah Rukh, John says, "I think Shah Rukh has done such a wonderful job. The problem with all of us is that we put a lot of pressure on ourselves because of a super director and a super actor. I think it was very brave to come out of that and deliver a pure performance. I love Shah Rukh Khan films but as much as I like them, I like Aamir Khan's films too; I love films in general."

Quiz him on not having done a romantic film yet, he says that's changing now, "I am doing a beautiful romantic film with Abbas Tyrewala. It will takes me away from my comfort zone, which is what I have been doing so far. I hope this film will change the perception of the people about the genre of films I am doing."

Tell him that Aamir recently said that he had the best body in the business, and Johnny boy smiles, "Getting a compliment from an Aamir Khan or a Shah Rukh Khan is like getting a certificate from above. I may be fit but when I look at an Aamir Khan and the way he has developed his body just for a role, it scares me. All us actors should take a leaf out of his book and how he has changed cinema in this country."

MY NAME IS KHAN: Niranjan Iyenger turns lyricist

It was way back in June this year that we had broken the news about two splendid scratch tunes in the Karan Johar project, MY NAME IS KHAN, and also their situation in the much anticipated film. And here is more on the subject.

Niranjan Iyenger, the dialogue writer of films like Madhur Bhandarkar's FASHION, Karan Johar's KABHI ALVIDA NA KEHNA and KAL HO NA HO, was once a regular dialogue writer for the Bhatt camp with films like JISM, ROG, PAAP etc. But now Niranjan has turned lyricist and has written two outstanding 'sufi' based compositions for Karan's Shah Rukh Khan–Kajol starrer, MY NAME IS KHAN. The lyrics have already been put to tunes and as per a very reliable film personality who has had the privilege of listening to them, they are simply awesome. Both the songs will be used in the background.

Well, we are sure that the talented and now versatile Niranjan Iyenger, who has proved himself as an able dialogue writer, will surely hit it off as a lyricist too. And he has got the perfect launch vehicle, a Karan Johar film starring Bollywood's global super star, Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol!
