I'll follow Shahrukh on Twitter soon: Aamir Khan

Share This Post

One wonders if Aamir Khan's rivalry with Shah Rukh Khan has so far kept him away from following him on Twitter, but the Lagaan actor says he would love to track Shah Rukh's posts on the micro-blogging site.

"I have lots of friends in life but I don't follow everybody on Twitter. It's just been a few days since I have joined the site and I will start following people soon and yes, I would love to follow Shah Rukh on Twitter. Why not?" Aamir told reporters here Wednesday.

Till now, Aamir follows Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan, Karan Johar and nephew Imran Khan only.

Share This Post

Shahrukh Khan along with his kids finally reached South Africa some time ago. However, his excitement to gear up for FIFA finals was perturbed by South African consulates when he was stranded at the airport with nobody to own him. At last Indian consulate came to his rescue.

2010 FIFA World CupSRK tweets on the micro-blogging site, “In South Africa Johannesburg...kids excited…nobody to pick us at the airport and Indian consulate helped us. Thanks all at Indian consulate.”

Well, morning shows the day Shahrukh; anyway with Indian consulate coming to your rescue, things seem to be more smooth henceforth too. So, all we cay say is have a blast with kids.

SRK 'undercover'

Share This Post

Here's why the star had to adopt this look

Shah Rukh Khan has just reached South Africa for the FIFA World Cup, and while he’s excited about the big match ahead, the weather is something else. And the reason that SRK is all covered up is because he’s cold!

The star just posted on his Twitter page, “In South Africa jo'berg..kids excited.” He then posted the picture you see and added, “As you notice it is a bit cold here in jo'berg. My undercover extreme cold look.”

When Konkona Sen Sharma saw the pic, she tweeted, "Haha! You look like a super hero :-)"

To which SRK replied, "Should have told me before spent so much on the suit I made for Ra.one...."

The cold that made him cover up hasn't affected his excitement about the game he loves though. And here’s who SRK would like to see playing. “Would love to see Germany in the final..they have been so good. Holland is there already, me going there on 18th so wish them well too...”

Well, we’ll know later today if SRK’s wish comes true, meanwhile we hope he got warmer with his 'undercover' look.

Shahrukh Khan proves his box office credentials in My Name Is Khan

Share This Post

My Name Is Khan 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment, 12, £15.99

My Name Is KhanShahrukh Khan is arguably the world’s most successful movie star. He has fan numbers in the billions, two years ago Newsweek dubbed him one of the 50 most powerful people in the world and… most of you have never heard of him, right?

However, with Hollywood desperate to get its mitts on the lucrative Indian market, you’ll be seeing a lot more ‘Westernised’ (no big song-and- dance numbers) Bollywood movies such as this UK box office smash.

Here, Khan makes his equivalent of an Oscar bid by playing Rizwan Khan, a Muslim from Mumbai with Asperger’s syndrome. Khan moves to San Francisco where he marries a Hindu single mother, falls foul of the racist fallout from 9/11 and tries to meet George W Bush to tell him: ‘My name is Khan and I am not a terrorist.’ The script is slightly clunky but it’s impossible not to like this slick Indian take on Forrest Gump, despite its shameless tear-tugging.

Extras: Changing face of Bollywood featurette, music and story featurettes, music promos.

SRK and kids head to the FIFA World Cup finals

Share This Post

Football fever has hit tinsel-towners now. Apart from following each and every match a few of them are flying down to South Africa to watch the finals. And Shah Rukh Khan tops that list. SRK would be taking his kids Aryan and Suhana along all the way to South Africa.

Our source said, “Aryan is an ardent football fan, like his father and will be flying to South Africa to watch the finals. At the moment, the entire family is holidaying in London. Shah Rukh was on a Europe tour and cruise with his family spending quality time with his kids, his wife and a couple of friends.

Shah Rukh and the kids have been following football religiously even there and are very keen to watch the finals at the stadium in South Africa because all the action will now be live.”

Apparently, Shah Rukh’s mother was a big football fan as well and they both used to stay up all night watching football matches. Clearly, the genes have passed on to the next generation. The source added, “Both Shah Rukh’s kids love football SRK also plays and coaches his daughter and her friends in football.

The family’s favourite teams are Argentina, Spain, Germany, and Brazil amongst which Germany and Spain will be playing against each other to qualify for the finals.”

Imran Khan too plans to fly down for the finals, to celebrate the success of his film I Hate Luv Storys (Ohkkayy!). The actor will be flying there from India and would be accompanied by his childhood friends.

But unlike SRK’s vacation trip, Imran’s would be a professional commitment towards a brand he endorses.”

While SRK didn’t revert to our text messages, Imran confirmed, “I’m flying for the finals with friends on Friday. I’m supporting Germany.”

I’m flying for the finals with friends on Friday. I’m supporting Germany - Imran Khan, Actor.

Om Shanti Om's end credits inspire American director

Share This Post

Josh Radner, the American television actor of How I Met Your Mother has turned director with his debut film Happythankyoumoreplease. And for his end credits, he has taken inspiration from Farah Khan's Om Shanti Om.

Though Josh has not seen the entire film, he says he was much impressed with the idea of the cast and crew being introduced against the background of a movie premiere, with each of them getting down from a vehicle. He believes it is similar to the tradition of theatre, where the cast return in the end of a play to take curtain calls. Thanks to our own OSO, Josh decided to incorporate this in his film too.

Meanwhile, Josh regrets he was unable to watch Peepli Live, which was screened along with his film at the Sundance Film Festival recently.
