Malaysia Truly Asia´s Langkawi & Genting Miss SRK´s ´Don 2´

'Don: The Chase Begins Again', directed by Farhan Akhtar and starring Shah Rukh Khan was extensively shot in Malaysia, popularly known as Truly Asia!

In fact, eighty percent of the movie was shot in Malaysia, and was filmed around the tropical Langkawi island as well as the Petronas Twin Towers and the Jalan Masjid India area, which is the 'little India' of Kuala Lumpur. Not only that the well known Genting Highlands too featured in the proceeding.

It was expected that the sequel to the film, 'Don 2' would also feature the South East Asian country. But as things stand today, 'Don 2' is being extensively shot in Berlin and from there it will move to other locales of Europe.

The people of Malaysia, who also conferred an honorary doctorate on King Khan in 2008 (and he became Datuk Shahrukh Khan), are hoping that the unit comes to Malaysia once again, may be just for a few shots.

Well, are Farhan and Shah Rukh Khan listening?

Shahrukh's Ra.One is cynosure of all eyes

Ra.One seems to be the most awaited film. Going by the discussions on the film, even though Shahrukh Khan is yet to release the first look of his home-production, it is evident that viewers across the globe are awaiting this SRK film for more reasons than one. The discussions across message boards/forums pertain to varied topics, right from the special effects to SRK's look in the film to the release date of this keenly-anticipated movie.

Initially slated for release in June 2011, it is speculated that the film will now release in the second half of 2011, although the producers are yet to finalize a date. That's because the VFX will take time to achieve the desired results. In fact, Anubhav's tweet says it all: "The VFx team and I are still figuring when we can deliver the film. Then my friends, The Producer will announce the date. But soon now..."

The question is, with Don 2 slated for release in December 2011, will Ra.One arrive a few months earlier or a few months later? After all, there has to be a sufficient gap between two biggies starring the same actor. Even the launch of the promos should be planned accordingly, so that they don't overlap each other.

With Rajinikant's Robot setting the standards, one expects Ra.One to go a step forward vis-à-vis the special effects and woo the audiences across the globe. And knowing SRK and his penchant for perfection, one is more than sure that Ra.One will turn out to be a visual delight, at par with the Hollywood counterparts.

Hrithik Roshan's 'Guzaarish' touched Shahrukh Khan

Shah Rukh Khan was reportedly so moved by Hrithik's performance as a paraplegic in the film Guzaarish, that he awoke his younger colleague out of slumber and made him drive down to his bungalow Mannat.

Though tired and fighting off a viral attack, Hrithik still drove down to Mannat where he and King Khan apparently discussed Guzaarish and Hrithik's performance until 2 am.

That is something you can do if you are SRK. "Shah Rukh had asked for a print of Guzaarish because he's very fond of Hrithik. Also, because Shah Rukh had played a mentally challenged character in the Karan Johar film, My Name Is Khan, he was curious to see how Hrithik had approached the character of a physically disabled hero," said a source.

SRK was watching the film with his family and friends and it was halfway through that he rang up Hrithik, asking him to come to his house immediately.

The two are close friends now and their wives are apparently even closer. Gone are the days when SRK wouldn't even want to hear Hrithik's name being uttered in his presence.

Shahrukh finally patches up with Bhansali

It seems Bollywood biggies Shahrukh Khan and Sanjay Leela Bhansali have finally patched up after keeping away from each other for about two years. Shahrukh broke the ice by calling up the filmmaker.

The news is doing the rounds that King Khan called up Bhansali while he was at a private screening of Guzaarish at Yash Raj Studios, and the duo spoke for about 20 minutes. The actor, who has already watched Guzaarish, reported told the filmmaker that Devdas (by Bhansali) was his best film so far. And sources said that Bhansali looked happy after the conversation.

It may be recalled that Shahrukh and Bhansali severed their relationship when their films Om Shanti Om and Saawarya were released on the same day two years ago. They even took a few digs at each other then. But it's passe now, as they have patched up over Guzaarish!

King Khan and Sachin Tendulkar dance hand in hand

Recently held Sahara India Sports Awards were hosted by Shahrukh Khan, who made the impossible possible by making Sachin Tendulkar dance.

During the event Shahrukh Khan called Viru on the stage for performance and Viru has challenged King Khan to bring Sachin Tendulkar on the stage and made him dance.

Shahrukh took the challenge and very gracefully called Sachin on the stage and made him to move his belly.

Sachin is a reserved person and is not fond of partying or dancing but King Khan is fortunate that the world's number one cricketer manages to dance with him.

At last, King Khan also ends up his fight with Sunil Gavaskar by giving his sincere apologies to Gavaskar. When Gavaskar was called on the stage to receive an award, Shahrukh did not left the opportunity to end up the war between them, he politely said that he respect Sunil Gavaskar for all his achievements and the glory which he had brought for the country. Sharukh blamed media for the misunderstanding and Gavaskar gracefully accepted the apology.

Whole country will cheer while watching Sahara India Sports Awards 2010 on television, which witnessed a blend of entertainment between sport persons and Bollywood stars.

Shahrukh Khan bored of Twitter?

After posting regular updates on Twitter, Shahrukh Khan seems to have suddenly lost all interest in the social networking site.

The superstar last posted his birthday pic on November 3 from Berlin where he was shooting Farhan Akhtar’s film Don 2. When SRK did not tweet for a whole week after that, it was obvious to presume that he was busy with the film’s shoot.

But now that the star is back in Mumbai and has had a few days to rest and relax as well, he did not post any new message on his Twitter page! Is he losing interest, just like Aamir Khan who posted his last tweet in August? Or is SRK just taking a sabbatical from social networking on the net.

More than seven lakh followers could be disappointed if SRK decides to quit Twitter at this point.
