Paa Premiere: today is the night! Shahrukh and Aamir thrilled!

If you are not among the invitees for today’s premiere then wait till tomorrow morning. For today it is a very special occasion for the trio Amitabh, Shahrukh Khan and Aamir as they witness the special screening of Paa today.

News is that both Aamir and Shahrukh has been given 6 passes each for the screening but as per the rule more than two passes is not allowed.Shahrukh Khan made a special request to the star as his children were over enthusiastic to see Auro! He asked for 5 and Amitabh generously gave him 6! In the recent past there was a tiff among Amitabh and Shahrukh and Aamir and Shahrukh! It will be after a long time that the three will be sharing the same space.

It’s a very big event for the cast and crew of the movie as they get to see the first fruit of their hard work. We wish you all the best. And just hope that it breaks all records in the box office collection made till date!

Shahrukh Khan's request to Amitabh Bachchan

At one point of their career they were arch rivals. But, as time progressed, SRK and Big B have become thick friends. Thanks to their new chemistry, now SRK has no qualms picking up his phone and dialing his one time rival, that too on fast dial.

The buzz doing rounds is that SRK called up Big B recently and requested to send him some extra film passes for PAA's premiere, since his kids also want to watch Big B in his new role that has already caught the fancy of the kids. The premiere of PAA is expected to be a big affair and both Shahrukh and Aamir Khan will be present at the event along with their families.

The growing friendship between SRK-Aamir and Big B is seen as the beginning of a new camp in B-Town. With Salman Khan out of this big alliance, we wonder what else the trio plans to do besides coming to pose together at the PAA's premiere.

Shahrukh Khan: A king deserved to be treated like a king!

King Khan is known for his PR skills and does it with great finesse! But recently he made media people uncomfortable with his answers! His replies were quite brash which wide opened media’s eye!

Speculations builds up whether he is in bad mood these days. It is reported that when someone asked him about Aamir denying that he had apologized to him but had actually said sorry to ShahRukh’s children, so what did ShahRukh himself have to say to that? Pat came the reply that the reporter could go and ask his children about it. Then someone asked about screen chemistry between stars, to which the answer was that just because people work together does not mean that they are in any kind of relationship. The last straw came when the actor said to some reporter that a king deserved to be treated like a king.

What can we get out of it? Is he frustrated that his competitors are growing day bay day like Ranbir, Akshay, Aamir and giving him very tough competition. Or is he really pussed off with Aamir Khan’s behavior who is playing with the word sorry! Though the two will be meeting today in the premiers. Or is he bogged down with this thought that once very good friend Salman is not in talking terms with him!

As far as his release this year, he didn’t have a marvelous year , with not so dynamic releases and backlashing by the Kolkata Knight Riders Team in the IPL.

Next year we will see the star back with the trailer for My Name is Khan will be released on 18 December 2009 with James Cameron’s Avatar. The film is slated for global release to theaters on 12 February 2010. The actor will be seen paired up with Kajol, the most sought after onscreen couple of the 90’s. We hope next year brings the best for the Khan.

As for now we are really worried as to what happened to our media friendly guy!

“Shahrukh Khan Spirit” – Fearless and Funny!

Shahrukh is such a person whose spirits are never down even when he is down with injuries. King Khan has always and will always bounce back from his laid back times.

SRK’s sense of humour is not unknown to any. He continues his effervescent mood during his conversation at an interview for Bollywood News Service. He speaks for his take on women, his family, the secret behind his staying power, his friend and filmmaker Farah’s new film and his Cosmopolitan award for Fun and Fearless!

Starting with the award he won recently, he says he is neither “fearless” nor “fun” as his kids feel! He says, “When I was going for the event, my daughter said you are going to get an award for being fearless but you are so scared of mom. I found it a bit odd. Also, they think I’m very boring at home; I’m not very fun with them. But it’s sweet to get the award”. Well…that’s the funny part of this man!

It proves again how popular he is with women as this award is being decided by them. So what makes him so popular? And what he does to make them feel special? Shahrukh answers that there are no special rules to make women happy. He feels it’s the trust that works. “You do your stuff and let her do her stuff. It’s very simple I think”, says the Badshah Khan.

And who’s the woman behind his success? Gauri? “Kya peeche? Gauri walks before me on the ramp”, he laughs off!

On his stardom rule of 15years, he feels it’s the fans who made him a star. It takes honesty and hard work for making a film that really rules for all his works.

And what happened to Tees Maar Khan and Farah Khan? He said his injuries were still there and he couldn’t make Farah wait any longer. So he had to back out though he had read the script three years ago.

As usual, his approach throughout the interview was very energetic and full of humour. That’s what we call it “the Shahrukh Khan spirit”!

Shahrukh Khan to remake Fauji

He might have reached the pinnacle of the showbiz industry but Shahrukh Khan hasn't forgotten the show that gave birth to him. It was 1988 Doordarshan show Fauji which gave India one of its biggest stars. Shahrukh who had played the army man Lt. Abhimanyu Rai more than two decades ago is all set to remake the serial. Sources close to SRK say that Red Chillies Entertainment will be producing the show.

This will be Shahrukh's re-entry into Television soap opera after a gap of 20 years when he last starred in the show 1989 show Circus. Apart from Fauji and Cirus Shahrukh had also acted in the soaps Dil Dariya and Doosra Keval making him India's most successful Bollywood star who migrated from the small screen. Shahrukh has also hosted Kaun Banega Crorepati and Kya Aap Paanchvi Pass Se Tez Hain?

Media persons had a taste of their own medicine when Shah Rukh Khan shot back some uncomfortable questions at them.

Shahrukh Khan goes Green

India is under major threat from Global Warming and Shahrukh Khan has taken the step to raise awareness of environment protection.

Bollywood actor Shahrukh Khan raises mass awareness on environment protection by saying little drops of water make a mighty ocean.

At the screening and a photo exhibition for ‘Environment Protection’ organised by Consulate General of France, SRK said, “Every individual must be utmost cautious and not to waste natural resources, be it water or any other entity.”

“I don’t think we are cautious about such small things. But it is necessary to take notice. It might be possible that in our lifetime nothing happens, but as the new years come, I am sure some problems will definitely be there. Although there are talks that the world will end, universe will collapse but I think it might not collapse by some external factor but we ourselves will end up destroying it, like the way we have been doing it. So I think it’s an important aspect,” he said.

“Most of us who live in big towns or live in economically-forward countries, I think we give less notice to such things. We generally neglect them. Even if I am thinking about such things in over the last one-two years, it is because of such movements or talks by NGO’s which make you feel once or twice such as) while shaving to close the tap and to do other small things,” he added.

SRK is very pleased at the introduction of environmental studies as an academic topic in schools.

“And one good thing I have realised while teaching my children is that environmental studies have been introduced as a subject in school for the last 4-5 years. So that’s a very good thing.”

Greenpeace protest in IndiaThe Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Research has reported that, if the predictions relating to global warming made by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change come to fruition, climate-related factors could cause India’s GDP to decline by up to 9%; contributing to this would be shifting growing seasons for major crops such as rice, production of which could fall by 40%. Around seven million people are projected to be displaced due to, among other factors, submersion of parts of Mumbai and Chennai, if global temperatures were to rise by a mere 2 °C (3.6 °F).

The Himalayas, for example, have been warming three times as fast as the world average, with the result that their glaciers are shrinking more rapidly than anywhere else and could disappear by 2035.

China and India account for 10 percent and 3 percent, respectively, of the man-made greenhouse gases now in the atmosphere, compared with 75 percent for the developed world (according to data compiled by the World Resources Institute). As patterns of rainfall shift to more deluges as well as more droughts due to the when-it-rains-it-pours phenomenon that global warming causes, both countries will also suffer more floods. The two countries are among the most threatened by climate change, but their huge populations mean they will still be heavily reliant on burning fossil fuels to try to lift millions out of poverty.

The UN Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change predicts that Global Warming could raise sea levels up to 58 centimetres and submerge low-lying islands by 2100.

Therefore, the raising of awareness by a Bollywood icon like SRK should definitely make a difference to those ignoring or completely unaware of what global warming is doing to the world and especially, India.

Shah Rukh tracking Knight Riders progress

Undaunted by the Kolkata Knight Riders' poor show in the first two editions of the Indian Premier League (IPL), franchise owner and Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is in constant touch with the team as it strives to force a comeback in the coming season of the cash-rich league under a new coach.

"We have been in constant touch with Shah Rukh Khan. There have been regular inputs from Shah Rukh," the side's new Australian coach Dav Whatmore told mediapersons after a two-day camp at the Eden Gardens here.

With Whatmore keeping a close watch, most of the outstation Indian players of the Knight Riders went through their paces at the conditioning camp.

"The camp has been fruitful. I am trying to change the fortunes of the team this season," Whatmore said.

Asked about his interaction with skipper Sourav Ganguly, Whatmore said: "Sourav is a great player. He has made a good contribution to the game."

The next camp will start on January 9.

Whatmore, a former coach of the Sri Lanka and Bangladesh national teams, has replaced John Buchanan as the Knight Riders coach.

Faithfully yours, SRK

Shah Rukh Khan spoke his mind on terrorism and religion on Sunday, at an evening for commemorating 26/11 in Delhi.....

"Generally, sab aatankwad ke baare mein meri raye poochte hain. Shayad main Muslim hoon isliye. Lekin mera manna hai ki aatankwad ke baare mein kisi ki bhi do raaye nahin ho sakti."

"The Indian civilisation doesn't distinguish in terms of religion. We are an impossible achievement in the world and I'm very proud to be an Indian."

" Mere mohalle ki Ramlila mein maine vanar sena mein bandar ka role kiya hai. I've grown up reading the Quran, listened to the Gita, learnt Christianity from my school, and my wife is a Punjabi."

" My late father always said, 'Mazhab nahi sikhaata, aapas mein bair rakhna,' lekin aaj, har mazhab ke shaitanon ne, rakshason ne, apna ek naya religion bana liya hai...Terrorism."

" I want to live; we all want to live. It's our duty to wipe out terrorism, in thought and in deed. Believing in God, by whichever name we want to, is about leading a higher life. And there are no two ways about it."

I am very proud to be an Indian: Shahrukh Khan - Video
