RA.ONE: Benullo looking after the superhero part of the script!

There is a lot of confusion about the contribution and role of David Benullo, a Hollywood screenwriter, in Shah Rulh Khan's under-production Anubhav Sinha directed RA.ONE.

There were rumours that not satisfied with the original script (by SRK himself, Anubhav and Mushtaq) Shah Rukh Khan had handed over the entire work to David, to get that Hollywoodish touch to the superhero flick.

However, that is not the case. What is true is that David Benullo did visit the various sites (in Mumbai) which would be part of the backdrop of RA.ONE to visualize it. Actually, Benullo is writing the superhero part of the collaborative script by SRK, Sinha and Sheikh and they are working as a team.

The much awaited RA.ONE is expected to release sometimes during the first quarter of 2011.

Priyanka wants to beat Shahrukh

Priyanka Chopra who is set to host the daredevil show Fear Factor on TV has now decided to so all her stunts in the upcoming sequel of Don.

We hear that she would be doing high speed summersault jumps and plunges in the film all by herself. She would not let any body double perform these stunts for her and has also asked her director to not keep her gender in mind while devising her stunts.

She is raring to perform the stunts as tough as that of her co-star Shahrukh Khan. Without revealing much she assures that the Don 2 will have far more intricate stunts than in the Don.

She is of opinion that today’s audience do not fall for body doubles. So as to make it look convincing she has decided to do it on her own.

Shahrukh Khan, Aamir Khan: Together in illness too!

Bollywood film stars who have forever been compared and contrasted are of course the Khans!

Now it is Shahrukh and Aamir that we are talking about here.

The two, have most of the time made news due to their offbeat comments about each other or their films being compared on some pretext or another.

However, when there is a connection of some sort, even nature plays some peculiar tricks, as was seen recently.

It so happened that Shahrukh Khan, who had gone for the FIFA World Cup in South Africa, had literally screamed his lungs out during the exciting moments there. As a result, he had to suffer the aftermath of it all by getting a bout of cold, cough and an attack of the flu!

However, back in Mumbai, there was another Khan, Aamir, who had an extra dose of the excitement due to the music launch of his home production flick Peepli [live].

The music launch, which took place in Mumbai, was quite an event, and it did receive great media coverage and a very enthusiastic audience response. This all got frenzied Aamir Khan to work extra hard, only to fall sick too.

Recently, Aamir who has joined twitter posted on his page this message-“Just got back home after a long day. Down with fever. I guess the excitement of Peepli [live] music launch last evening got to me. Pill time.

Well, seems like these two Khans always manage to do things almost at the same time, even in illness they are together, so here’s wishing the two greats of Indian cinema a quick recovery!

Khans, Roshans bonding continues

The Gauri Khan-Sussanne Roshan bonding continues. And this time they were actually bonding at London’s Old Bond Street.

These two superstar wives were dressed in their designer best, and each of them was carrying enough bags to break a donkey’s back. Unfortunately there are no mules in London, so Gauri and Sussanne were lugging their own plastic sacks laden with the most expensive stuff that the London stores stock.

Hrithik, who is wrapping up his shoot in Spain, is expected to join Sussanne, Gauri and Shah Rukh in London any day now. The Khans and the Roshans are expected to party hard. This is the lifestyle of Bollywood’s rich and famous.
