Katrina is a stupendous actor: Shah Rukh Khan

Actor Shah Rukh Khan, who will be sharing screen space with Katrina Kaif in their maiden romantic film by Yash Chopra, says that his co-star is a stupendous actor and he even tried to adapt himself to her work approach.

After a gap of eight years, Yash Chopra has returned to direction with this untitled film, which also stars Anushka Sharma. The shoot has begun in February this year in London.

“I got to shoot with Katrina Kaif for the first time, which was wonderful. I do a couple of films a year and I haven’t worked with her. I think she is a stupendous actor. Everyone says about her being hardworking and very talented. It’s more important how we work together,.. how we work as a team,” said Shah Rukh.

The model-turned-actress has been in Bollywood since nine years and all those who have worked with her have always praised her. ”When I work with a lot of young actors, I learn a lot as they have a different way of doing scenes. I have worked now for 21 years, they have been working for 10 years. When Katrina is doing a scene, she has a different way of approaching it… and when she approaches it differently, as a co-actor I also try to think if she is doing it differently, there must be a reason so let me also try it and adapt myself to do it differently. So that give and take has been absolutely fantastic,” Khan said.

Apparently, it was on Katrina’s birthday few years back that both Shah Rukh and Salman had a fallout. And now Katrina is working with both Khans — Salman and SRK — under the Yash Raj banner films.

SRK’s association with Yash Raj Films has been long and they have together given many hit movies like Darr, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Dil Toh Pagal Hai and many more.

Why is Shah Rukh Khan blushing?

Shah Rukh Khan is a charmer and someone who never fails to impress the ladies with his dimple, wit and sarcasm!

If a billion books on the king (biographies, coffee table books) were not enough, we had an entire film being inspired by the actor! It was called, 'Shah Rukh Bola khoobsurat hai tu'.

The superstar has now inspired a noted singer to pen down a song on him! Singer, Neha Kakkar has finally decided to let the world know that Shah Rukh Khan means the world to her!

With a simple yet 'fan'tastic lyrics and music given by Tony Kakkar, the girl has got every Shah Rukh Khan fan crooning to her latest number. The song originally posted as Neha Kakkar Shah Rukh Khan Song is being referred to, by his fans as 'Shah Rukh Khan anthem'!

After only 4 days of its release on youtube, the video had garnered over 1,60,000 views and comments from all over the world already begging for remakes in different languages!

A rather jubilant and excited Neha Kakkar exclaims, "I only put it up on youtube because I had made this for Shah Rukh Khan a long time ago when I was totally smitten by him. But the Shah Rukh Khan fans all across the globe can now connect to that song which has become a sort of an anthem! It's sweet of them to comment and like this video."

Not only the fans, but Shah Rukh Khan himself tweeted and thanked Neha Kakkar for this beautiful song. SRK wrote, "Heard the Neha Kakkar song just now. Very sweet and the effort put in it....thanx. I feel shy with the love given to me...."

SRK, aren't you blushing?

Shah Rukh reveals his New Year Plans

Shah-Rukh-Khan

Shah Rukh Khan will take a break for a couple of days close to New Year's.

Shah Rukh Khan has been working round the clock. When he is not shooting for a film, receiving an international honour, he is seen promoting his film across the globe and then promoting the brands that help him promote his films.

After getting positive reviews from Don 2, the superstar is relieved. He now wishes to take a break for a few days from the movies before he gets back to the grind.

At an event SRK revealed, "I have been working round the clock. Its time I shave my beard, cut my hair, spend time with the kids. I will be off to Dubai with family for 4-5 days, a short break. After which, I will be back to shoot for Yashji's romantic film. We might start the shoot by Jan 8th 2012."

The King is glad that most have liked Don 2. The handwork & fun of making it seems to be paying off said he.

While most girls prefer SRK in a romantic film, the superstar should know, the ladies thought he looked his sexiest best in Don 2.

I am not a romantic: Shah Rukh Khan

Shah Rukh Khan is the king of romance. Love isn't as romantic unless SRK doesn't look into the eyes of his heroine and sings a song, as he spreads his arms.

SRK epitomizes romance. Girls go weak in the knees every time he goes down on his and proposes to his lady love.

The superstar however denies being a romantic!

"I know I am known for my portrayals of Raj and Rahuls but I am not a romantic at all. I am shy with women. I've always wanted to play the 'bad guy' roles. I did play them in Baazigar and Darr. I want to do it more and Don has come along at the right time. I am not at all like Don in real life but its fun to play characters that are not at all like you. As an actor that thrills you" said Shah Rukh while promoting Don 2.

He added "Don is everything every guy wants to be but never gets to be. He has fast cars, faster women. The second installment of Don is leaner, meaner and sexier."

The highly awaited Don 2 releases this Friday worldwide. Dec 23rd 2011.

SRK-starrer Don 2 earns 37 crores already!

We guess nothing sells like Shah Rukh Khan. The actor, whose film Don 2 is set for a Christmas release, has started raking in the money already, or so we hear.

This Farhan Akhtar directed motion picture has sold its satellite rights for a whopping 37 crores, inform trade sources. It's Zee TV who has bought the satellite rights for this movie.

Apparently, this is one of the biggest satellite deals to take place in the history of Indian cinema. It's the hype of the movie along with the success of it's predecessor that has helped it in scoring this big one at the box office.

It looks like the producers have already started their walk to the bank, smiling.

Shahrukh Khan refuses to comment on Anna Hazare




Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan today said any process for the eradication of the corruption, including enactment of Lokpal bill, would be a right thing to pursue. Shahrukh, who is currently on the promotional tour for the upcoming film Don 2, however steered clear of controversy by refusing to comment on Anna Hazare.

When asked about Anna Hazare, Shahrukh Khan said that it was not the proper platform. "The process to eradicate corruption is a must for every one. This is a very important aspect, whether movement against corruption, act or a bill. It would be beneficial in the long term. I do not want to say anything on anybody," SRK told PTI.

However, along with Priyanka Chopra and Farah Khan, Shahrukh Khan attended the publicity event of Don 2 in Indore on Friday, 16th December. Meanwhile, the actor also spoke about Vidya Balan and praised her performance in her recent film. SRK said, "Vidya has done very well in The Dirty Picture. Hence it was a great hit. We are proud of her role and her acting."

Akshay Kumar pips SRK to buy ‘Kolaveri Di’!

Mumbai: This real khiladi of Bollywood steals ‘Kolaveri Di’ from the badshah of Bollywood. Yes, Akshay Kumar has beaten Shah Rukh Khan by striking an early deal with Dhanush and buying the official rights of ‘Kolaveri Di’, a Tanglish song that has become a rage on Internet.


Talking to a daily, a source said, “SRK approached Rajinikanth for the rights of ‘Kolaveri Di’ for the song`s Hindi remake. But much to his surprise, he found out that Akshay Kumar had already bought the rights some time ago. When ‘Kolaveri Di’ first started to become a rage, Akshay immediately sensed its potential and approached Rajinikanth. SRK wasn`t too happy to know that he had lost the song.”

Interestingly, the Tanglish song enjoys a cult status; one wonders what impact the Hindi version of ‘Kolaveri Di’ will have on its fans.

SRK reasserts his stand on ban on smoking scenes in films

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan reasserted his stand on ban on smoking scenes in movies saying it was too controlling to display anti-tobacco messages during the movies.

In hyderabad, to promote his new film, 'Don 2', Shah Rukh said the pre-movie public advisory was the responsibility of every film maker but to disrupt the movie and show the anti-tobacco messages was artistically incorrect.

“I think to erase, ban or inserting a ticker tape on the screen would be a little unartistic and too controlling. But if it is a legal sale of something, I think just the warning is sufficient. We should have a public service message as we do for event stunts, that don't try this stunt at home. Similarly you should not smoke or consume alcohol,” said SRK.

Why Shah Rukh can't go to Patna yet



It seems Shah Rukh Khan will have to wait for his visit to Patna. Due to security issues, the local authorities had to cancel his Don 2 promotional tour to the city.

A disappointed Shah Rukh tweeted: 'Was super excited with my first ever visit to Patna but distt authorities said sum security issue. Will come sum other time. Damn..!!! Bags packed...plane ready...my bihari accent was also being worked upon. Feel awful couldn't make it...but insha Allah will go there soon.'

Meanwhile, his fans protested yesterday outside the P&M Mall in the city, resulting in an hour-long clash with the local police.

However, there's good news for his Nagpur fans. SRK is in the city and asked fans to bring books for him.

'Desperately seeking a good book to read. Kindle dried up...bookstores out of bounds...heading to Nagpur would have been nice if I had a book. Enroute to Nagpur...the tour begins for the chase continues film. I really lov meeting u all in the garb of film promotions. DON is ON... So if u r in Nagpur and have the time I would love it if u get me books...remember to write ur twitter handle please on the book,' he added later.

Shah Rukh's 800-page biography to weigh 37 kgs!


Weighing an incredible 37 kgs, running up to 800 pages and consisting of exclusive content including fascinating extracts from Shahrukh Khan's personal diary, "King Khan - The Official Opus of Shah Rukh Khan" is likely to be released next year.

"I am overwhelmed by the honour. Though there have been books written about me, but the magnificence of this book simply stands out. I am thankful to the group for choosing me. My opus will surely get me closer to my fans," Khan said signing the first copy of his official opus.

The Bollywood megastar joins the league of iconic names in the opus collection, including Sachin Tendulkar, Michael Jackson, Manchester United FC, Formula 1 and Ferrari.

He is the second Indian to have this luxury, large-format work dedicated to him.

Announced by Britain-based Opus Media Group, the Opus will narrate the journey of the star through rare pictures and extracts from his personal diary.

The opus will reveal the incredible passion, intellectual drive, constant ambition and charming personality of Khan.

The leather-bound publication will weigh an incredible 37 kg, running up to 800 pages and consisting of exclusive, newly-commissioned content that will make this work a must-have for every fan.

"On behalf of the entire Opus team, we are immensely honoured to be given such a wonderful opportunity to tell Khan's story in an opus. Khan continues to lead the way creatively and we hope to rise to the challenge in telling his story in a new, diverse and unprecedented style through the King Khan Opus," said Opus Media Group CEO Karl Fowler.

Said Eszter Karpati, editor of "King Khan - The Official Opus of Shah Rukh Khan": Eight hundred pages of an Opus allow for plenty of storytelling. But when we were planning the King Khan Opus, it was a case of how can we possibly fit everything in."

The Opus will be semi-autobiographical as Khan will contribute much of the exclusive content himself, including fascinating extracts from his personal diary that he has kept for over 20 years.

Structured around 13 themed chapters, the editorial content will include a detailed filmography plus a light-hearted cinematic intermission in which people can gain an insight into his on and off screen persona and the colour and flavour of Bollywood.

Each marquee edition of the Opus will be personally signed Khan and presented as a strictly limited edition worldwide.

"King Khan - The Official Opus of Shah Rukh Khan" will also be offered as a DVD as well as a downloadable iTunes App designed for the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch, and Android platforms.

SRK takes a day off, goes cycling with Suhana


Shah Rukh Khan, who has hardly spent quality time with his family over the past few months owing to heavy-duty promotions for his home production RA.One, took a day off to be with daughter Suhana. The actor and his 11-year-old daughter went cycling on the busy streets of Mumbai and King Khan tweeted: "Taking daughter for a cycle ride in bandra...hmmm lets see how it turns out...a first for us."




SRK's sardar look

Shah Rukh Khan is fond of experimenting with his looks and this time he is donning the look of a sardar.

He will be playing a Sikh soldier named Papa G in his forthcoming commercial. "King Khan seemed pretty excited about this shoot and it took him several hours to get the right sardar look," a source said. He had apparently applied so much of glue on his face that he was seen cracking jokes about the same. "So if anyone plans to kiss me they will remain stuck to me forever!" the superstar said.

Of all the looks he has previously donned, this look is the first of its kind. Meanwhile, Shah Rukh is currently busy gearing up to start the campaign of his upcoming film Don 2, which is slated for release on December 23.

Shah Rukh Khan misses Salman Khan?

Is the King Khan extending the olive branch to arch enemy Salman Khan? Or was Shah Rukh Khan being politically correct in front of people?
Recently at an awards function, SRK had to give out an award which incidentally went to Salman and in his absence, SRK wished his once friend now enemy was present to receive the award himself.

We all know how the two Khans have been warring for years now. So much so that the cold war has at times extended to their extended circle. But it seems SRK is in a mood to bury the hatchet.

On Tuesday evening at an awards function, SRK was there to announce the award for the Best Onscreen Couple.

Speaking to a daily, a source said, "Keeping in mind that the presenters` and the winners` parts are scripted, it`s obvious that SRK would know who was winning in the category." Eyewitness account says that the actor didn`t seem too surprised while reading out the names of the winners Salman and Kareena Kapoor.

Both Salman and Kareena were not present at the event and instead, Salman`s sister Alvira and brother-in-law Atul Agnihotri, who produced ‘Bodyguad’ went up on the stage to receive the award on Salman`s behalf.

Now, not too long ago, Alvira was in news when her bb status read ‘Even a Super Hero needs a Bodyguard’ on the day of the release of SRK’s ‘RA.One’.

Surprisingly, there was no awkwardness when Alvira and Atul went up the stage and SRK was extremely warm and friendly towards them and announced "Wish Salman and Kareena were here to receive their award”.

When the daily contacted Atul, the producer was elated that his film had won the award. On being asked if there was any awkwardness with SRK, he said, "The category was after SRK`s act. So I guess he knew he was giving away this award."

Speaking about Shah Rukh`s statement, Atul said, "Yes, he did say something to that effect. But I don`t think there`s too much to read into that, irrespective of the so called history."

As for wife Alvira`s status message on her phone, Atul said, " I don`t know how these stories came about. But there was no awkwardness at all."

SRK vs Salman Khan: Yet another clash of the titans!

Arch rivals Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan are constantly in news for their films competing against each other. Since the formers dream venture ‘RA.One’ was released two weeks ago, the Box Office battle is back between the two once again.


Buzz has it that the trade pundits are analyzing that ‘RA.One’ could beat Sallu’s ‘Ready’ in terms of collections in the domestic market.


SRK’s ambitious film that was released recently has been one of Bollywood’s most expensive films ever made. Eros Entertainment and King Khan have made a whopping investment of 162 cr on it.

Though ’RA.One’ garnered average reviews, but what’s surprising is that it has bagged the moolah at the BO and the figures can be already be compared to that of Salman’s super hit ‘Ready’.


Given that it is yet another weekend coming up and with a bank holiday this week, trade specialists feel that by the end of its tenure ‘RA.One’ could easily go on the list of one of Bollywoods biggest grosser this year.

A trade source informs media, "3 Idiots collected 102 cr; Dabangg-74 cr; Bodyguard 72 cr; Ready-64 cr, Ghajini-58 cr, Golmaal-3-56cr; Singham 50 cr. These are net collections and are very close approximations. Now chances are that Ra.One could cross the 64 cr mark of Ready. Or come to a photo-finish with this Salman film.


Only time will tell. Either way it will definitely be above Golmaal-3 and Singham.``

This battle at the Box Office looks even more interesting because of the two titans, SRK and Salman Khan standing face to face on it this time, yet again!

RA.One fails to beat Bodyguard, 3 Idiots at BO

It has managed to set a few records at the ticket window, but post the initial draw, the collections of 'RA.One' are falling dramatically. So will SRK's 'Ra.one' match the collections of Salman's 'Bodyguard' or Aamir's '3 idiots'? We did some number crunching to get you the real picture.

While Shah Rukh Khan's magnum opus 'Ra One' will end up making a profit in the long run, it now looks like the King Khan will not be beating the records set by Aamir Khan's '3 Idiots' or Salman Khan's 'Bodyguard'.

It has been stressed that 'Ra.One' did set it's share of records at the box office - which include a 5 day net collection of 96 crore and a single day collection of 23 and a half crore but these figures include collections from the Tamil and Telugu versions of the film.

Thanks to SRK's promotioinal efforts 'Ra.One' got off to a flying start once it opened on Diwali - however it does seem that negative reviews and word of mouth has dented the film's collections after the weekend.

After a high of 17crore on Sunday, Ra.One's net collections nose-dived to 6.5 crore on Monday and settled at 4crore on Wednesday.

RA.One collections dive

Sunday: 17cr
Monday: 6.5cr
Wednesday: 4cr

Rakesh Sharma, Operating Head, Cinemax speaks about dipping collections and if screens are reduced in cinemas. "In terms of gross worldwide collections - Aamir Khan's '3 Idiots' leads the pack with a total of 375 crore followed by Salman Khan's Bodyguard at 253 crore. Ra.One's collections stand at 192 crore as of now and it looks rather impossible that it will be able to beat the other two even in the long run."

Bollywood Blockbusters

3 Idiots: 375cr
Bodyguard: 253cr
RA.One: 192cr

While positive word of mouth kept '3 Idiots' going at the box-office 'Ra.One' seems to be losing steam post it's first week.

Komal Nahata, Film Trade Analyst speaks on how much the film is expected to collect worldwide and its comaprision of 3 idiots collection.

"At over 150 crore 'Ra.One''s cost has also dented it's profitability since both '3 Idiots' and 'Bodyguard' were made at half the price of SRK's magnum opus. Shah Rukh will now be looking forward to 'Don 2' to make magic at the box office."

Demeaning to compare films of two actors: Shah Rukh Khan

Superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who turned 46 on Wednesday, says it is demeaning to compare the films of two actors.

Shah Rukh was responding to a query on whether the box-office collections of his magnum opus Ra.One had surpassed that of Salman Khan's Bodyguard and Aamir Khan's 3 Idiots.

"It is demeaning if we compare every film of every actor. It is wrong to compare. I don't believe in comparisons. Every actor has a different body of work...all this is unfair," he told reporters here today.

Shah Rukh asserted that he was the original "Baadshah of Bollywood" and nobody can change that.

The actor said he was happy with the success of Ra.One, which released this Diwali to mixed reviews.

"I am happy with the success of Ra.One. I have been told by my business partners we did a good business. I am happy that people are talking about the film be it a good or bad way," he said.

Asked about his birthday wish, Shah Rukh, who was gifted a huge card by his daughter Suhana, said, "All I wish is that my children stay healthy and make a name for themselves."

A host of B-town celebrities are expected to attend a party thrown to celebrate the actor's birthday here this evening.

SRK, Salman Khan scramble for Tom Cruise


The turf is hotting up with the impending visit of Hollywood actor Tom Cruise to India ostensibly on December 4 to promote his upcoming film Mission: Impossible 4. Buzz is that there’s a scramble among the Khans — Salman and Shah Rukh in trying to host a special party for him. While Salman wants to host the Hollywood actor at a nearby five-star hotel, Shah Rukh wants to host Tom at his home. Sources, however, claim that Tom might just end up gratifying both his hosts from Bollywood.

“Salman has already spoken to producers, who are bringing Tom to India and expressed his desire to host him in India. Shah Rukh, on the other hand, has spoken to Anil Kapoor (who’s co-starring with Tom in MI4) about wanting to throw a party at Mannat in honour of Tom,” says a source.

Sources say that a middle path is now being chalked out – with Salman being the chief invitee at the welcome bash for Tom at a tentative five-star hotel in Juhu, while there will be an intimate private party at Shah Rukh’s place.

“Both SRK and Salman will be made happy this way. The producers don’t want to annoy anybody right now as both of them enjoy considerable clout in the industry. The person, who is in the eye of the storm, is Anil as Tom will be depending on him to tell him what to do when he’s in Mumbai,” the source adds.
