Shahrukh Khan Vs Brad Pitt

Bollywood Superstar Vs Hollywood Superstar

First up, for those of you who don’t know, here’s a little introduction to the world of Bollywood.

Formally referred to as Hindi cinema, Bollywood is the largest film producer in India and one of the largest centres for film production in the world. For a long time Bollywood was more financially viable than it’s western ‘H’ namesake.

With multi million pound productions with glorious cinematic colour and sweeping soundtracks, Bollywood films now traverse the globe and have a huge and devoted worldwide fan base.

A great emphasis is always placed on shooting and choreography for the course of Bollywood’s standpatter three hour epics full of melodrama and adventure. Increasing accessibility to professional special effects in recent years has resulted in more ventures into the action and sci fi genres and Bollywood is now a direct competitor to Hollywood’s dominance on the world stage rather than, as previously referred to, ‘a poor cousin’.

My Name is Khan is the second most expensive Bollywood film to date after Fox Star Entertainment bought the rights for the sum of INR 1 billion.

Starring Shahrukh Khan and Kajol, it is released here on DVD on Monday, June 28. Here’s a quick rundown of its leading man and a comparison to his Hollywood counterpart Brad Pitt.

Bollywood versus Hollywood…who would win in a fight? Go!

Shahrukh Khan

With nicknames including ‘King Khan’ and ‘The King of Romance’ Khan is the most sought-after actor in Bollywood.

Born on November 2 1965, he’s a fair whack shorter than Brad at 5ft 8in. A follower of Islam, he’s been married to Gauri Khan since 1991 and has two children, Aryan and Suhana. Khan and his family have three dogs now after his beloved dog Chewbacca died.

Khan has won 13 Filmfare awards. Seven of which were for Best Actor. In 2005, the Government of India honoured him with the Padma Shri for his contributions to Indian Cinema. His IMDB profile states he has 26 wins out of 27 nominations.

Brad Pitt

William Bradley Pitt is the epitome of the Hollywood pin-up and shot to stardom after his early role in Thelma and Louise.

Born on December 18 1963, Pitt is a little shorter than your usual six-foot-plus hunk at 5ft 11in. He has dated, and been married to, some of the most beautiful women in Tinseltown: Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Aniston and now Angelina Jolie.

Pitt has his hands full with three adopted and three biological children with wife Angelina Jolie.

He won a Golden Globe in 1996 for Best Performance in a Leading Role for Twelve Monkeys. Nominated for two Oscars, he’s never picked up that elusive win but has a total of 25 wins and 44 nominations.

Shah Rukh Khan to restart writing autobiography '20 Years To A Decade'

Shah Rukh Khan has restarted writing his autobiography tentatively titled 20 Years To A Decade that was on hold for a long time.

Sources say he has already finished writing half the book that is likely to reveal many untold details about his life.

Shah Rukh’s hectic work schedule coupled with a lot of travelling and then his shoulder injury post which he immediately plunged into shooting for Ra.1 had stopped him from writing the book for 8-9 months.

It seems Turkey, where the actor is presently holidaying with his family, has inspired him to resume writing the autobiography.

Shah Rukh had tweeted a couple of days ago, “in kusadasi a quaint port town in turkey. must say the trip makes me romantic & full of creative ideas. have started to write my book again.”

A source adds, “SRK was looking at releasing the book this year but that plan will not materialise because he still has to complete writing the book. After that the proof will be read by the publishers, then the editing will take place and a final clearance from SRK will have to be taken. Most probably the book will be out sometime in the middle of or end of next year.”

The source ends saying, “SRK has always been a good talker and the book will follow his easy and friendly style of communicating. He’ll not stop at making fun of himself as he always does at public events. But he is underplaying his trademark flamboyance completely in the book. It is definitely a new SRK who the fans will get to meet. He is understated and very humble about his achievements.”

SRK shakes like Shakira

If there is one person who shakes belly like no one else, it has to be “Hips don't Lie” singer Shakira. She is known for her belly dancing and it looks like nobody can beat her in this game. But, there is one person in Bollywood who is going to give this Waka Waka girl a run for her money, and he is none other than Baadshah of Bollywood Shahrukh Khan.

You have seen Shahrukh dance around trees with pretty girls. He surprised everyone including his critics by exposing his six packs abs for the hot and sexy song Dard-E-Disco in Om Shanti Om. But have seen him shaking his belly like Shakira? Probably not. You will see more of his sexy moves very soon, as he is practising belly dance in Europe, where is currently holidaying.

“To gym then a swim & for the abs have been suggested a belly dance with some turkish dancers. stars have such a tough exercise regimen ha ha,” tweeted Shahrukh.

Expect the unexpected from King of Bollywood!

Shahrukh Khan's die hard fan

Amrita Rao happens to be a huge fan of Shahrukh Khan.The actress was seen alongside SRK in Main Hoon Na.

In fact, she's one of those die-hard fans.

Amrita claims to have seen King Khan's Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge numerous times in a theatre.

The actress admits to being a SRK fan ever since she was in college.

Shahrukh is the only star whose movies she would watch in a theatre and many a times still does.

"I have seen DDLJ more than a dozen times in the theatre. Me and my cousins would always begin our summer vacations with his film," said Amrita.

When asked that does she hope to be paired opposite SRK, she said, "Of course. SRK is on the wish-list of all Indian women. I am no different."

"It was such a pleasure to shoot with SRK" - Sonal Chauhan

Sonal Chauhan, the dusky beauty who was last seen in Jannat opposite Emraan Hashmi, is back with a 'brand' in a new advertisement for Dish TV with none other than the Baadshah of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan.

We caught up with the beautiful actress to find out more, who willingly tells us, "Yes actually, we have finished with the shoot for the ad about 25 days ago and currently it is being aired on TV networks."

Talking about working with SRK, she says, "It was such a pleasure to shoot with SRK. Firstly, I am a big admirer of his, so when I was approached for the ad by the ad director, I was more than willing. There was no way I was going to say no."

"The ad itself was shot very fast. I think the reason for this is that Shah Rukh is such a magnificent person that all his shots were done in just a single take, besides one more thing I noticed while shooting at Yash Raj studios was that SRK is such a gentleman."

Coming to her films, Sonal says, "My film with Owais Hussain is ready, and currently it is being edited since we have finished shooting. However, I cannot tell you anymore as Owais is the best person to speak to about this. Apart from this, I have another film lined up but again, I can't tell you much as it's still a bit too early."

SRK gets in a spitting contest

Who was his partner in the ‘awful and dirty' prank?

Shah Rukh Khan’s a doting dad alright, one who’s always ready to get childlike with his kids Aryan and Suhana. That explains why he got into a spitting competition with Aryan!

SRK, who’s on a family holiday in Turkey, posted on his Twitter page, late yesterday (June 20) “With my son. Had seen spitting contest in Titanic. Trying to recreate this awful dirty and childish prank with him. It’s Fathers Day!”

He added, “Have to muster up some pressure in the mouth for the spitting championships.”

So what else did SRK and the kids get up to on Father’s Day? “On Father’s Day took the kids to a waterpark. Dont flinch jumping 30/40 ft for a stunt...but had to hold onto them to go down a waterslide,” he continued.

And then the star showed off his funny side, as usual. “To gym, then a swim & for the abs have been suggested a belly dance with some Turkish dancers. Stars have such a tough exercise regimen ha ha.”

Shah Rukh and family are also going off the usual celeb trail in Turkey. He’d posted earlier, “In Kusadasi a quaint port town in Turkey. Must say the trip makes me romantic & full of creative ideas. Have started to write my book again.”

So SRK's writing a book too? We wonder if the spitting contest will make it to the final draft!

Shahrukh Khan grows thin because of make-up

The shooting of Ra.One is on at full swing and one person who is most affected by it is producer-actor Shahrukh Khan. According to reports, the actor has lost weight since the shooting began and is looking quite thin now.

Actually the movie requires Shahrukh to wear prosthetic make-up for at least 8-10 hours, and the star can’t even take a break in between. The make-up cast applied on the star is very delicate and it takes hours for the artists to paste it again, if taken off. The pitiful thing is that during the strenuous make-up hours, SRK can’t even drink or eat.

Though the star has lost weight and is looking weak, his doctors know this is not a problem to worry about. Once the shooting gets over, he will be back in shape.

Just like a superhero, time for some action!

SRK losses weight while shooting for 'Ra.1'

According to the sources, SRK losses lots of weight during the shooting of 'Ra.1' due to the prosthetics make-up technique that does not allow him to have food and drink water for 8-10 hours.

A source said, “Once on, Shah Rukh Khan can’t take the make-up off throughout the day. It’s so delicate that any form of pressure would damage it. If that happens then Shah Rukh would have to go through the exhaustive process of make-up again to perfect it.”

“Shah Rukh might have lost at least 4-5 kilos during these days of shooting but he has consulted his doctors and the situation has not yet reached an alarming level,” the source added.
