Comically yours, SRK

It was a night for surprises at the Andheri Sports Complex on Saturday night where the Mumbai Police Film Star Nite Umang '09 was being held.

Shah Rukh showed his true comic colours in a skit called Koffee With Cops, with Karan Johar in tow. When asked during a rapidfire round, why he needed cops, he shot back, "Main bahut sexy hoon. Which is why I need security and police to rescue me from girls and rival heroes." On unfulfilled dreams, his wish went thus: "My unfulfilled dream has always been to play a police officer.

But I don't think I am still macho enough. Policewala role adaa karne ke liye dil chaahiye, sirf six-pack-abs nahin." When asked if he would accept an offer to act in Dostana 2, SRK quipped "I don't wish to hamper my macho image, don't expect me to accept."

The audience was in splits when flapping his palm in an effeminate gesture, SRK told KJo, "Please don't keep touching me, I don't like it at all." Not surprisingly, SRK literally proved to be the 'show-stopper' in the show put together by event organiser Aly Morani and film-maker Pahlaj Nihalani.

Later, Khan and Johar felicitated top cop D Sivanandhan with a bouquet, who seemed overwhelmed when Amitabh Bachchan joined the duo.

SRK or Sallu who will be first to feature on KJo's Lift Kara De?

While channel wants Sallu to feature first in Karan Johar's new show, the producers want SRK. Who'll blink first?

That is the big question. While the channel is leaning towards Salman (who hosts 10 Ka Dum for them), Karan and the show's producer (Yash Raj) would obviously prefer Shah Rukh to set the ball rolling.

Lift Kara De premieres on Sony in January. It is one of the shows that marks Yash Raj Films' foray into television. It will have 20 episodes where B-Town's biggest stars meet and interact with their biggest fans.

While Karan has already shot for an episode with Priyanka Chopra last week, sources indicate there is an internal lobbying on which male star to shoot with first. Shah Rukh and Salman Khan are in the reckoning.

The source says, "It's a new concept and they want to open big. It can't get bigger than Shah Rukh or Salman. Since the channel has worked with the latter and is comfortable with him, they want him to be a guest before SRK. On the other hand Yash Raj and Karan have a great personal rapport with SRK. So their choice is obvious."

The source adds that Karan is keen on having both actors on the show. However, unless the production house and the channel come to a consensus soon, the delay will continue.

Shahrukh Khan a romantic lover to a responsible father

Shahrukh Khan has finally decided to move on to mature roles. In his upcoming movies My Name is Khan and Raavan, he is all set to play the role of a father.

What’s more is that the actor is making no qualms about doing such roles and is quiet open-minded about evolving his screen image from a romantic lover to a responsible father.

Few years back in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, he played the role of a father. Shahrukh has no problems doing on-screen father roles as his own son Aryan is 11year-old.

Shahrukh has a great fan following and his on-screen lover boy image is a craze. Most actors shy away from doing such aged roles, but King Khan has always done things differently.
