Khans say No to Big B

Bachchan parade in Macau (aka the IIFA awards) will see an absence of Khans.

Shahrukh is on a family holiday.

Salman isn’t interested,

Aamir didn’t think twice and Imran has politely declined an invitation.

That leaves Saif, Fardeen and Arbaaz as the Pathan flag bearers.

Not quite the “A” team.

Big B still competing with SRK

AMITABH Bachchan has revealed that although he is a big IPL fan, his reason for not owning a team is that “I don’t have as much money as (Kolkata Knight Riders owner) Shahrukh Khan”.
Maybe the Big B should find a sugar daddy, after all as it has worked wonders for Preity Zinta and Shilpa Shetty.

Karan Happy Bday

Two days ago, that’s on May 25, Karan Johar’s abode was the venue of the B’day party wherein scores of Indian celebrity couples let their hair down. Big names like Tina Ambani and Parmeshwar Godrej turned up for the party but it was the Bollywood couples who stole the show.

Celebrity couples like Shahrukh Khan-Gauri, Abhishek Bachchan-Aishwarya, Hrithik Roshan-Susanne, Saif Ali Khan-Kareena Kapoor, Ranbir Kapoor-Deepika Padukone, Imran Khan-Avantika Malik, Riteish Deshmukh-Genelia D’Souza, Arjun Rampal-Mehr and many others made Karan’s birthday bash looked like a red carpet affair.

Considering the aura that the celebrity couples had created,
celebrities like Malaika Arora, Shahid Kapoor, Amrita Arora, Sonam
Kapoor, Lara Dutta, Twinkle Khanna, Tusshar Kapoor, Rani Mukherjee and
others who came alone for the party must be feeling lonely in the
crowd.

What a glittery night!!!

Om Shanti Om Blooper

Shah Rukh Khan in his Om Kapoor avatar was afraid of fire but during the climax he shows no such phobia.

Farah Khan's "new look" on Tabla for OSO

Farah Khan convinced a veteran music director Pyarelal to come off his self-imposed exile from the current film music scene to compose a song for Shah Rukh Khan's Om Shanti Om. The song was created in nine shifts spread over three days. And in LP style the song's recording happened with a 150-plus orchestra, a rarity in today's age of digitally-arranged music making. 40-45 different drums ranging from tabla and dhol to duff, 40 plus violins and 22 woodwinds amongst other instruments were used for the song

AR Rahman music in Om Shanti Om

Before Vishal-Shekhar stepped in to compose the music for the movie, A R Rahman was signed for the music composition. The reason why A R Rahman opted out of this film was that he wanted the music rights to stay with the Composer and the Lyricist along with the producer, something which Farah and Shah Rukh Khan didn’t agree with.

Invitation to Dev Anad in Om Shanti Om

Farah Khan was keen on having Dev Anand in the Deewangi song, however, the actor declined the offer as he never does special appearances. Dev Anand explained that till date, he has always played lead roles and he did not wish to break his tradition by doing something like this.

He therefore politely declined the offer, gave regards to Shah Rukh Khan and gave his best wishes to SRK and Farah for their film. Sridevi is another actress who refused to be a part of the song because she wanted to appear in the song with husband Boney Kapoor. But since the song had actors and actresses only and not their spouses or film producers and directors, she could not be accommodated.

Om Shanti Om Trivia

Shahrukh Khan who plays a struggling actor in the movie in the first half apparently fights a tiger while trying to impress Deepika. He tells her that he is a rising star from the South Indian film industry and that his name is Omswami. His favorite line in the film is 'Atti Patti Katti'. The scene was canned in Bombay's Film City.

Shahrukh Khan also plays a superhero ‘Mohabbatman’ in the film and rescues Malaika Arora. Mohabbatman, like superheroes, wears his underwear over his tights! However, the super villain wears his underwear inside his tights

Mushtaq Shiekh's Interview, Maker of Om Shanti Om

Mushtaq Shiekh needs no introduction, the journalist turned author has already penned books like Still Reading Khan, The Making of Ashoka and The Making of Om Shanti Om. He has also written the screenplay for movies like Om Shanti Om and Billu and television scripts for soaps like Kahin Toh Hoga, K Street Pali Hill, Kya Haadsa Kya Haqeeqat. In an exclusive interview with Oneindia's Subhadeep Bhattacharjee, Mushtaq talks about his latest book Shah Rukh Khan and his future plans.

You have earlier worked on Shahrukh's life in 'Still Reading Khan', 'The Making of Ashoka' and 'The Making of Om Shanti Om'. Why Shahrukh Khan again?
Why not Shahrukh Khan again? That is a more important question. He is the biggest star we have on planet earth…the there is an unquenchable appetite to know more about him. With every passing day the number of his fans is increasing. Not to mention the other important fact that my proximity or access to the man makes things much easier and possible to do. So when all these factors come to together you get the magic formula of writing books and books on Shahrukh Khan and doing it successfully.

What is the main theme behind this book. Is it a sequel to Still Reading Khan?
Shah Rukh Khan is a revised updated version of Still Reading Khan. There are a thousand things plus one that he has managed to do between after the first edition was published which have been added to this particular edition.

Besides the earlier one was a huge coffee table book, that weighed heavily on one's bookshelves and purse too. Therefore, the decision to bring out the book in a paperback format, so that every fan of his would be able to buy one. This version is my offering to the youth of this country who complained to me after my first book was released that I was being unfair to them and they could not afford to read my earlier book and that it was way past their pocket money. This would reach them all and more at a affordable price of Rs 399. Certainly a throw away price to take Shahrukh Khan home.

What do you think is one part of Shahrukh's life this book focuses which none of your earlier books did?
The other books were about the movies Asoka, OSO, they were movie-specific and not necessarily just about Shahrukh. In our movie industry we never had anyone recording history so that the coming generations know what happened to the making of these movies. Like today when I want to know how Kagaz Ke Phool was made I find it next to impossible to get the details. We have scant respect for our movie history. I began the whole culture of catching contemporary cinema in pages so that we have the information stored forever. The response from readers has been over whelming and I intend to keep doing it. Shah Rukh Khan is a biography which covers every part of Shahrukh's life, personal and professional with lesser known facts about the man, that everyone seems to have missed over the years.

You have known Shahrukh for a long time. What is the difference you find between the Shahrukh you met for the first time and today's King Khan?
I have always maintained that stardom and super stardom has an unsaid factor of corrupting people. But when it fails to do so, the person who passes the litmus test becomes extraordinary. Shahrukh Khan is one such person. In fact the super success has gone the other way to his head. He has become far more mellow and responsible with the super success. He is no longer audacious and irresponsible. He is far more in control and saner I must add. Why do you think he is my muse for almost all my books?

A tabloid carried a story on that you and Shahrukh had fallen apart. How did you react to that?
I do not react to tabloids. I however did write on my blog so that readers and friends who were concerned got to know the truth. Tabloids are better left doing their job...they are great as toilet paper but when the whole fourth estate gets a bad name because of some inept people I get disturbed because after all even I started my career as a journalist …Anyway peace be on all who write such tripe…after all they will have to pop pills to sleep at nights to…for as mischief mongers burn in hell.

Do you think there runs a conspiracy in Bollywood to defame successful stars like Shahrukh Khan?
There is no conspiracy in Bollywood. Like in any other profession there are minor differences in thought and attitude which is played up the media because quite frankly, that is how they reel in their readers and viewers. It’s all part of the circus. After all is there is a price of fame that this is it. This is it. This is it.

You had penned the screenplay of Om Shanti Om and Billu. What is happing with your career as a screenplay writer?
Right now I working on Shahrukh Khan’s next film Ra.One with director Anubhav Sinha. It’s a film on a very huge canvas. Cinema as big as it can get. I am very thrilled about. With the television serials, the biggest film of the next year, and two fiction novels, I can’t be asking for more work. Totally tied up till 2013…ha ha.

Do you plan to write on any other Bollywood star?
At this moment I am more interested in fiction and not on any particular film star. But yes if there is anyone who I could try to visit in pages after Shahrukh Khan then it would be Hrithik Roshan. He is the only one who really fascinates me, there lies a life tale that needs to be told. His journey has been quite incredible.

Lastly do you again plan to write a book on Shahrukh?
I could write hundreds in spite of having written exhaustively on the man, I still feel that there are reams left, words still waiting to be printed, ideas will to be expressed. But am I planning anything right now...no. I can't promise the same about the future. Till then one can wait for my next fiction offering…

Asin Ghajini Girl Bags more Awards

After bagging several awards for her Bollywood debut film ‘Ghajini’, South Indian beauty Asin has added another accolode to her kitty. The actress is all set to receive an international award for her role in Kamal Hassan`s Tamil film ‘Dasavatharam’. The Hindi version of the film released this Friday.

asin

The award is organised by a Singapore-based International Tamil Film Awards (ITFA). The ITFA, recognizes the contribution of film artists towards Tamil cinema on an international scale. Asin will be presented with the award on May 16 in Singapore.

Asin has played a memorable role in ‘Dasavatharam’ as a touch-me-not Brahmin girl, who talks non-stop through her screen-time. With so many awards and accolades, the lady will go a long way, for sure.

The ITFA was instituted to recognize, honour and applaud all who have contributed towards the success of Tamil films at an international level. This is being held at Singapore Expo Max Pavilion. About 21 awards will be presented in various categories to the best in the Tamil film industry.
Meanwhile, it is heard that Asin is being considered for the female lead opposite Shahrukh Khan in an untitled Hindi film by Yash Raj Films (YRF). The original choice for the role was Katrina Kaif, but Shahrukh Khan preferred Asin as he wants to keep a safe distance from Salman Khan and Co. So, Katrina is reportedly out and Asin is in.

Asin is currently busy shooting for Vipul Shah’s musical entertainer London Dreams, starring veterans Salman Khan and Ajay Devgan in principal roles. Produced by the director himself, London Dreams will release in August 2009.

Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi



Have you ever stopped to think if the most ordinary, uninteresting, unobtrusive man you might see on the road or around you might have a love story to tell? Maybe not! How can an ordinary man have a breathtaking, goose flesh igniting, awe inspiring love story of all things to tell?

But guess what - love does not differentiate between the ordinary and exceptional, the uninteresting and interesting, the unattractive and attractive as love knows no distinction. It can happen to anyone and once it does it engulfs us into it completely and gives us those miraculous experiences that only love can yield.

This is what happened to Surinder Sahni- a simple, clean hearted, honest man working for Punjab Power, leading a humdrum life, when he meets his total opposite and finds love in the flamboyant, fun-loving, vivacious - Taani for whom the whole world is her canvas and she paints her own life with the colors of rainbow all until unforeseen circumstances changes it all and brings them together.

What follows is a journey filled with laughter, tears, joy, pain, music, dance and a lot of love. A journey that makes us believe that there is an extraordinary love story in every ordinary jodi (couple)

Shahrukh Khan Surinder "Suri" Sahni/Raj Kapoor

B+


The movie and the story was excellent and really colorful. The songs absolutely mindblowing, especially the title song, and awesome choreography done in 3 Khan Song!

New come actress didn’t really do her charisma, as the new comer did in Ghajani. She didn’t do justice to her role, but felt and seemed she was camera shy or really anti acting, either ways, good family movie. Paisa Vasool “Money’s worth” J


Rated G/PG


*We, Bollywood Songs Translation and Bollywood Facts, gave this grade to this movie, which may be different from anyone and everyone. If you differ, feel free to comment.

Rakhna tha dil pe kaabu

Yeh husn to hai jaadu
This beauty of mine does the magic

Jaadu yeh chal gaya tho
If this magic was casted

Mera kusoor kya hai
Is it my fault?
