Shahrukh Khan Eager to support the youth!

Popular entertainment channel MTV is all set to air romantic movies that will appeal to the Indian youth.

The most interesting part is that Shahrukh Khan’s TV production company Red Chillies Idiot Box will be producing few of the movies.

In a press release, Khan said that they are extremely happy to be associated with a channel like MTV which produces youth oriented shows and is extremely popular among the young generation.

He also added that it is important to encourage young talent in an industry where the competition is extremely intense.

It has been reported that makers, actors and content of these movies were shortlisted online and everyone had to undergo grueling online auditions.

The name of MTV’s new series is Luv Reels and it has been reported that it is India’s first user generated film series.

MTV has collaborated with two production houses – Red Chillies Idiot Box and Milestone Movies Pvt Ltd – to produce three romantic movies as part of this series.

Aditya Swamy, senior vice president (Sales and Marketing), MTV India commented that young people in India love to see creative shows and this new series has been made keeping in mind the ideas and lifestyle of the new generation.

Shahrukh Khan Forms A Great Human Being

Gauri is indeed the luckiest woman who is married to a person like Shah Rukh, He is not only a great actor, but he has a great respect for women and can’t hurt them or let them being hurt at any cost.

Shah Rukh khan is a blessed person and he makes sure that every women around him, never gets ill-treated. He greatly obliges to his female fans, he signs autographs for them, poses for pictures and throws his dimpled smile on them. He makes sure that women around him get most of the attention and care.

There are many other examples to prove his respect for women. Shah Rukh is extremely caring and protective for women and his wife, Gauri and he have made a rule in their house ‘Mannat’.

The actor himself reveals, “Gauri and I want the female workers of the house to feel at ease when they are working. We thus make sure that on few floors the men workers of the house are not allowed as the women shouldn’t feel conscious when they get up in the morning and start working.”

In another incident, during a press conference, Shah Rukh drove away the photographers and when the actor’s body guards did the same, he ordered them not to hurt any of the female crowd.

The examples shows, apart from being a great actor, a great father and an extremely loving husband, he also forms a great human being.

King of Romance Shahrukh Khan to produce romantic movies for youth

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s TV production company Red Chillies Idiot Box is set to produce romantic movies for the youth that will be aired on MTV.

After non-stop music and adventure-based reality shows, MTV is venturing into romantic movies that will appeal to the Indian youth.

The channel has collaborated with two production houses - Red Chillies Idiot Box and Milestone Movies Pvt Ltd - to produce three romantic movies as part of their new series “Luv Reels”.

“I feel that it is very important to encourage young talent in an industry where there is such fierce competition. Keeping that emotion in mind, we are very happy to associate with MTV to launch careers of fresh talent,” Shah Rukh said in a press release.

With this series, MTV is giving a platform to young aspiring actors, singers and music composers. The makers, actors and content of these movies were shortlisted online and the cast for all three movies was selected after gruelling online auditions. The movies have been shot in London and Mumbai and are ready for release.

The movies will be on air every Saturday starting July 3.

SRK, Preity and Ranbir in a film?

Rumour or Truth

We heard that Ranbir Kapoor, Shah Rukh Khan and Preity Zinta are going to act together in a film for Dharma Productions that will go on the floors in January. PZ, it seems, suits the role.

Shahrukh-Gauri get protective in Mannat

Talk to Shah Rukh Khan and if you happen to be a woman, there’s no way you will not end up going weak in the knees. The actor too obliges his female fans by flashing his dimpled smile at them, posing for pictures and signing autographs for them. Just like women shower special attention on Shah Rukh, the actor reciprocates by ensuring women, around him are never ill-treated either.

We recall, during one of the press conferences, Shah Rukh drove the photographers into absolute frenzy (the way it happens every time SRK steps out and attends an event). SRK’s bodyguards tried to control the paparazzi and even in this extreme chaos the actor warned his bodyguards not to hurt any female reporters who were also waiting for his bytes.

The actor is extremely protective of women and hates it when they are put though any form of abuse or discomfort. Shah Rukh and Gauri have thus introduced a norm in Mannat that ensures total comfort for the women workers in the house.

In a tv documentary made on him, the actor himself revealed, “Gauri and I want the female workers of the house to feel at ease when they are working. We thus make sure that on few floors the men workers of the house are not allowed as the women shouldn’t feel conscious when they get up in the morning and start working.”

We were charmed, awed and inspired by SRK all this while but this piece of news has made us realize how great a soul he indeed is other than being a great actor. Hats off to you Shah Rukh.
