Shah Rukh Khan to be chased by '50 mulkon ki Police' in Don-2

Share This Post



On the sets of 'Oye! It's Friday', Shah Rukh Khan and Farhan Akhtar found themselves in such a playful zone that it turned out to be a two-episode show instead of a single episode. Have a look at what to expect in the second and concluding episode that would be aired today.

- Shah Rukh jokes about how it's difficult to explain to his children the need for wearing makeup for macho roles. He also talks about how Indian Cinema is growing by leaps and bounds with young talent making Indian cinema go places.

- Shah Rukh tries to relive the Mohabbatein moment as he 'attempts' playing the violin all over again. A difficult task for him because he is pitted against none other than Violin maestro Lakshminarayana Subramaniam, also known as Ambi, who in spite of being in just his 12th standard has already begun to follow in the footsteps of his father, the famous Violin Maestro Dr. L. Subramaniam.

- This young genius gave his first performance at the age of seven and has already performed extensively in Indian and abroad. Ambi has also performed with his father for Karnatic concerts at the prestigious Dussehra Festival at the Mysore Palace and recently performed at the Lincoln Center Out- of- Doors Festival.

- Even though Shah Rukh believed that playing a violin was his 'Dain haath ka khel', all he could do was just 'pretend' playing the violin. However, once Ambi started playing it, SRK didn't have any other choice but to admit that actors are after all only the face of the talent. However, the mischievous man that he is in real life, SRK did joke about how he would teach Ambi to 'act' while playing a violin.

- Shah Rukh Khan also shared an interesting anecdote about a real life situation that he found himself in during the shoot of Mohabbatein. He reveals that he was so bad at playing the violin that Amitabh Bachchan and Aditya Chopra actually banned him from using a real violin, courtesy the kind of sounds that he produced while playing it. However, when it came to Ambi, his riveting performance got him a standing ovation from Shah Rukh Khan, Farhan and the entire Oye audience.

- There is an interesting game played as well where Shah Rukh Khan is required to recognize his heroines. So how does he do that? Well, he uses his glasses, sunglasses and the torch!

- One of the major highlights of the show involves Farhan Akhtar asking Shah Rukh to call a girl from the audience. The girl here turns out to be Silky. Well, SRK being SRK, he tells her - 'Silky, I'm Milky'. He scares her though with his ever-so-famous 'Madan Chopra' dialogue from Baazigar. The girl is obviously shocked but this is when SRK does something that relaxes the atmosphere. What did he do?

- Farhan Akhtar jokes that instead of '11 mulkon ki Police', there should been at least 50-60 countries involved or maybe even 3-4 planets. A possibility explored? Try doing that in Don 2!

- On a serious conversation around 'Brand SRK', Shah Rukh again maintains that 'He is not SRK; instead he works for SRK'. He also talks about how when something works, branding starts! He adds though that basic level of honesty is required in all what one does and though it is not necessary to rebel, one should not do wrong things because everybody is not a superhero. He also mentions that there is no alternative to hard work!

- Shah Rukh Khan talks about his presence in 20-20 Cricket. He also jokes about how all his childhood pictures were the ones that showed him playing sports. He brings up his love for Chak De India and talks about the sorry state where children cannot tell their parents about their aspirations to be sportspersons. On this, Farhan requests parents to support children who are inclined towards sports.

- Of course, how could a Farhan Akhtar show get completed without a gift being given to the guest? While Farhan does hand him over something interesting, Shah Rukh jokes that how Farhan could have asked him earlier about his choices and he would have been glad to send over a list.

- Shah Rukh Khan makes a grand exit to one of his most popular songs of the decade. Any guesses?

Shahrukh not to attend Amrita's marriage

Amrita Arora's wedding (March 2) guestlist consists of the who's who of the film industry. And yes, Shahrukh Khan is on that list. It will be interesting to see if SRK will attend the wedding festivities that kick off next month. Says a source close to Amrita, "Amrita Arora and her sister Malaika are extremely fond of Shahrukh and Gauri Khan and are regulars at every party at Mannat. The SRK-Salman fight did not affect the equation between the women of the families, who continue to be friends."

However Sohail and Arbaaz stopped accompanying their wives Seema and Malaika to SRK's home after King Khan's jhagda with Sallu. Which is why it seems like the only person from Mannat who will be seen at the Arora shaadi is Gauri. Sources close to King Khan are sceptical about his presence at the wedding, because Amu's like a member of Salman Khan's family. Given the equation between the two actors, to avoid unpleasantness, SRK will probably stay away. He wouldn't want to be on Sallu's turf, given what happened the last time.

Says the source close to the bride-to-be, "Amu has always held Shahrukh great regard for SRK and she is keen that Shahrukh attend the wedding. Amu personally called to invite him. Apparently, the actor voiced his concern about bumping into Salman and causing a tense situation on her special day." Amrita plays it safe, "I can't comment on this. I haven't yet decided my wedding date, so where's the question of inviting anyone?"

Shah Rukh to essay the role of B-town’s famous baddie ‘Mogambo’

It was his bad boy conniving act that bought him much acclaim and turned him into an overnight sensation and now it seems that Shah Rukh Khan is going back to his roots. After being touted as the industry’s romantic boy, SRK will reportedly be seen enacting the most famous villains of all time - Mogambo.

Apparently, Shekhar Kapur, the director of superhit ‘Mr India’, is bowled over by Shah Rukh’s baddie acts. The filmmaker who has been toying with the idea of making a sequel to the film has reportedly approached King Khan for the legendary role essayed by Amrish Puri earlier.

Even though Shekhar states that the role has been tailor made for Shah Rukh; the actor is yet to give his final nod.

A news daily quoted a source as saying, “This film will also star Anil Kapoor and Sridevi, as in the original, but the script has been twisted, to be made more villain centric. Today, there are very few villains who have the towering personality required for the Mogambo type of role, which was played with flourish by the late Amrish Puri in the original ‘Mr India’. And who better than Shah Rukh, who has excelled in negative roles like ‘Baazigar’ and ‘Darr’, to play the role?”

Prior to approaching Shah Rukh, the filmmaker had offered the role to KK Menon. But after the script was made to be villain centric, the team started hunting for a much bigger actor to play the baddie
