Baadshah and Shehanshah of Bollywood to tie up soon


The most sensational news to hear from the Hindi film industry is that the gap between the Shehanshah and the Baadshah of Bollywood is getting shorter these days. Recently, Shehanshah of Bollywood, Amitabh Bachchan himself have mentioned a funny thing that happened between him and the Baadshah of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan.

Now, SRK during a chat show with Karan Johar have expressed his desire to be friends with the Abhishek Bachchan. As of now, it's hearing that Junior Bachchan have reacted to this positively. The major reason to believe this fact is that wife of Abhishek, Aiswarya Rai Bachchan is said to do a notable cameo role in SRK's upcoming high budget sci-fi film, Ra-One.

Both SRK and Aiswarya have acted together previously, and they were seen together in the 2002 blockbuster Devdas for the last time. After that film, they have started Chalte Chalte, but due to the issue between Aiswarya and Salman Khan, Aiswarya was dropped from the project and the relationship between SRK and Aiswarya gets broken.

Now, the things are seen to be getting ready with both the mighty stars of Hindi film industry taking measures from their side to solve the problem between them..

Ghajani makers to do a SRK film

Every Indian film lovers will surely remember the banner Geetha Arts, that have produced the highest grosser ever in Indian film history, Ghajani. Ghajani was actually a Tamil film that was remade into Hindi with Mr Perfectionist Aamir Khan and Asin in the lead. Both version of the film Ghajani was directed by A R Murugadoss.

Now it's hearing that Geetha Arts are planning to make another Hindi movie with none other than King of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan in the lead. Close sources related with Geetha Arts revealed that the story and other formalities have already been discussed with the King Khan. It is also hearing that Allu Sirish, son of Allu Aravind (owner of Geetha Arts) will be the executive producer for this new film.

Another notable news in relation to this new untitled film is that most probably a very famous director from the South will be the director of this movie. If the rumours are to be believed then the director of this new film will be none other than A R Muruagdoss himself. But the news hasn't get any official confirmation from the makers of the film.

If the film happens, then it will be a much more hyped movie than the film Ghajani. Ghajani is now the first Indian movie to collect more than 200 crores in total. As per the trades, Ghajani have actually collected around 250 crores in it's entire run.

Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi : SRK's Biggest hit so far

Shah Rukh Khan is considered as the Baadshah of Bollywood. He had proven everyone that he is originally Baadshah of Bollywood with his latest release in Bollywood Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. The film, which released worldwide five weeks ago on December 12th 2008, was presented by Aditya Chopra under the banner of his own Yash Raj films. Debutant Anushka Sharma was the heroine of that movie.

SRK's latest film Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi had now broken some vital records that were unbeaten for a long period of time. The film with it's excellent five week run have collected around Rs. 180 crores worldwide. The total net collections of Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi for the first five weeks in India are Rs. 83 crores (gross collections is being Rs. 140 crores).

The film was released at a time where everyone was shocked with the Mumbai terror attack that got happened on 26th November 2008. So due to this shocking attack, the makers of the film including SRK was not able to promote their new film quite properly. This have affected the initial collections of the movie, otherwise it would have been bigger again. With the help of good mouth publicity, the film was picked up later in the following weeks and is still going strong.

Meanwhile, the film have broken all previous box office records for Yash Raj Films, as well as become the highest grossing Shah rukh Khan film till date. The film has thus surpassed Yash Raj Films previous highest grosser, Dhoom 2, which collected Rs. 80.6 crores net across its entire run in India and is considered as one of the highest grossing films of all time. The film has also comfortably surpassed the collections of two of the biggest hits of the last 2 years, Singh is Kinng and Om Shanti Om, and is now second only to Ghajini as regards all time India net collections.

Well done Shah Rukh, you have once again proven your critics wrong by doing a memorable performance at the box office with this beautiful family entertainer.

Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi breaking records

The much awaited flick starring Shah Rukh Khan in the lead, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi has released worldwide on Dec 12th. There have been a much expectation about the film. The main reason behind this sort of expectation was due to the magic that Adithya Chopra and Shah Rukh Khan have provided earlier with their previous two films, Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge and Mohabbatein. Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi was released with a tag having the meaning that in every ordinary life there is an extra ordinary love story.

After a very warm start on friday, the film have gained some momentum during the weekend days with a much much better collections from all over India. According to the distributors this light hearted romantic comedy has crossed boundaries and even set records in the Middle East. The film has also received a grand opening across all overseas markets, including Britain, the US, Australia, Europe, Africa, and other territories in Asia.

With this type of a grand opening, the banner Yash Raj Films can now feel relaxed because since the film Chak De India got released, none of their movies have made it big at box office. The Ranbir starrer Bachna Ae Haseeno was able to do some average business at the box office, remaining all were dumped.

This film has now broken all earlier opening weekend collection records for Yash Raj Films grossing approximately Rs.600 million worldwide on its opening weekend. By the way, it have surpassed the collection record of none other than Dhoom 2, which was considered as one of the greatest hit of all time in Indian film industry. With Dostana completing it's long one month run at the box office and Ghajani only after a period of two weeks from here, it's now all clear for Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi to do some descent business.

Once again it's the jodi of Aditya Chopra and Shah Rukh Khan, which is making wonders at the box office. The film is now expected to become a huge blockbuster in the history of hindi film industry.

SRK keen to work with 'Ghajani' man.

One man can be changed from his current position to another within a few period of time. A major examble for this case is none other than Murugadoss, the director of Ghajani. He was no one in the industry just before he made the Tamil Ghajani, but after that he became immensely popular not only in Tamil film industry but also in other parts of the world.

It all started as he picked out Christopher Nolan's 'Mementoes' from stores and it just took 120mins transcending his life in tinsel town. It was this book that inspired him to do the movie Ghajani in Tamil. In order to make himself popular in the industry he just adapted the unique and never-seen-before theme of 'Short Term Memory Loss' in his first film.

After his first movie, he was appreciated by the viewers in all parts of the world. One among them was none other than our Mr Perfectionist Aamir Khan himself. He immediately expressed his desire to do that movie in Hindi by himself. This new Ghajani in Hindi will soon get into the theatres with Aamir and Asin playing the lead roles on for Surya and Asin from Tamil.

The major news that strike today is not this. It is heard that Murugadoss was approached by Red Chillies, the banner owned by Baadshah (SRK) himself, to do a movie for them. Things would be finalized by first week of January, but before that Asin, the heroine of both Ghajani have expressed her wish to act in that movie.

Cinematographer Ravi K Chandran, who is a close friend of Shah Rukh Khan have recommented Shah Rukh about this new director in the hindi film industry. Actually, after the release of Hindi Ghajani, Murugadoss was planning to go on for a Surya starrer in Tamil but now with SRK's banner being approached, it is heard that the director have changed his mind of doing that project in hindi with SRK in the lead.

Let's wait and see whether we can see the combination of SRK and Murugadoss in the silver screen. If yes, i wish all the best for them to that project.

'Don 2' to get delayed

Shah Rukh, the Baadshah of Bollywood is a busy actor in the Hindi film industry. He is now currently awaiting the release of his latest project Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi with Yash Raj films. It will hit the theatres on December 12. This movie will have SRK in a very very different get-up, and therefore the film is expected to become a huge hit. The film is also carrying good preview reports. Anushka Sharma, a debutant is the heroine of SRK in this movie.

Since the release of Don, it was hearing that there will be a sequel to Don as Don 2. But now it is hearing that the much awaited Don 2 will not happen, since all the artists who were related with the first part finds it difficult to make it for the sequel, due to their other committments. The lead actor SRK has to look after the promotions of his own production Billoo Barber, then he will do Karan Johar's My Name is Khan and then move over to his another production Happy New Year which Farah Khan will direct. He is also busy with his animation film Ra-One.

The case of lead lady Priyanka Chopra too is the same, though she is having more than one projects to complete. Even the director, Farhan Akhtar is busy with his own way. Now a days, Farhan prefers acting than to direction. Farhan is busy with Luck By Chance in which he is acting and also with his next directorial film Voice From The Sky.

With all the leading persons who were to make the sequel of Don is busy, the much anticipated Don 2 will not get into action atleast for the upcoming year or two for sure. But the project may not get dumbed since Shah Rukh is ready to act in the sequel with much interest. So the project will get delayed and the only thing to watch out for is how long does it get delayed?

Bollywood to witness a grand clash

The month of December is going to be a memorable one in the history of Hindi cinema, since two much awaited films from two well established actors are set to rock the theatres in that month. Those films are SRK starrer Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, slated for a release on Dec 12 and Aamir starrer Ghajani, slated for a release on Dec 25. Though both of these films are exactly not releasing on the same day, the small gap of just two weeks will witness a clash between these two films in order to make more profit than the other.

In Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, Shah Rukh plays a common man named as Surinder Sahni, who looks very simple in his get ups, but later changes his looks in order to win his wifes love, who is very much younger than him. First, SRK was seen in stuffy woollen vests which he later changes into funky jackets and snazzy jeans. In the other hand, Aamir also plays two diametrically-opposite looks for his upcoming release Ghajani initially he is the long-tressed romantic and then for the avenging avtaar he goes mean and bald and all full of tattooes.

What effect Shahrukh's make-over in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and Aamir's in Ghajani has on the box-office remains to be seen on December 12 as well as December 25 when the films gets released. So let's wait for the releasing dates of these much awaited films to know which one will go on to win the hearts of audience.

Can we see them together??????

There is a powerful trio in Bollywood for last 16 years. It is none other than the famous Khan trio. They are Shah Rukh Khan, popularly known as Baadshah of Bollywood, Aamir Khan, popularly known as Mr. Perfectionist in Bollywood, and atlast Salman Khan, who is the Muscle Khan of Bollywood. They have been ruling the Bollywood by themselves, for last one and a half decade without any severe competition. Though they have been considered as the powerful Khan trio, they have not acted together upto this day.

Among them, Salman and Shah Rukh have acted together for more times, for about 4 films. The first film that featured these two Khans was Karan Arjun, a movie from Rakesh Roshan. The movie went on to become a huge hit and the performance of both Khans in the movie as brothers, was appreciated well by the audience. Later, they were seen together in films like Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and in the last release of Shah Rukh, Om Shanti Om, but all these films were actually SRK starrer, were Salman was only guests for most of it.

The team of Salman and Aamir was seen only in one movie, which was Andaaz Apne Apne, that was released back in 1994. This film too was a smashing hit of that year. There after, both have not shared the screen until today. There have been talks in the tinsel town that both are interested in making a continuation to their previous one film. But not any continuation of that news was heard again.

The major upset of Bollywood audience will be that they were not yet able to watch a movie that features Shah Rukh and Aamir together. Shah Rukh have acted with almost all his co-stars in the industry except Aamir. Shah Rukh have openly admitted his wish to work once with Aamir in the lead role for a movie.

Because of the larger than life image, star status acting and entertaining styles distinctively different from each other, no film director has till now thought of at least trying to rope in the Khan trios to share the same screen space. With the much heard enemity between each of these 3 Khans, the wish of a Bollywood film viewer to watch them together in a movie will remain as a fantasy just like a child's wish to go to the moon.

Madhavan in SRK's new film.........


The 'Baadshah of Bollywood' himself, Shah Rukh Khan is currently working for his new project with the Yash Raj films. This film titled as 'Rab ne bana di Jodi' is having a new heroine and it is being directed by the Aditya Chopra himself. Both the star and director have worked together earlier for the hits like 'Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge' in 94 and for 'Mohabbattein' in 2000. There is a high expectation when both these biggie's are joining their hand's again.


Shah Rukh Khan, after completing this film will go on to work with his dearest friend Karan Johar. The film which is titled as 'My name is Khan' will feature Shah Rukh as a guy possessing Asperger's Syndrome. Kajol is playing the lady lead in this film. The jodi of SRK and Kajol is considered as one of the best one in the history of hindi cinema. Madhavan, popularly known as Maddy, who had rippled with high waves his much-alike idiosyncrasies of Shah Rukh Khan is playing the role of younger brother to SRK in this Karan Johar film. Be it his style of uttering dialogues or gestures, Maddy resembles SRK in it. The most exciting thing in this is that SRK himself have opted Maddy to play the role.


Madhavan, is currently in a cloud nine because he was offered about three films with the biggies of Bollywood. '3 idiots' with Aamir and Saif Ali Khan and 'Theen Patti' with Amitabh Bachchan and now this one with SRK , while he is little dissappointed because none of his recent Tamil films have not made it big at Kollywood.


Let' s wait and watch for much more news connecting these films................

'Billoo Barber' under threat..............



Since the malayalam film 'Katha Parayumbol' went on to become a huge hit, there were related news that both Shah rukh and Rajni kant are going to do this film in hindi and tamil respectively.


Work for both the films started, and the fastly completed 'Kuselan' starring Rajni got into the theatres last month. Though much was expected from the film, the film bombed at the Box office. The makers believe that the over expectations of his fans about the role of Rajini in ‘Kuselan' has resulted in its failure, though the movie was a appreciable endeavour. Considering these things into fact, the makers of the hindi version titled as 'Billoo Barber' starring Shah rukh and Irfan khan are restructuring the movie's marketing plans, which will now avoid every type of additional hypes on Shahrukh 's presence.


The movie which was initially planned to be on theatres by this November seven will now get to theatres only by January. Priyadarshan, director of this movie and his crew are now working hard to stick on with the original version and to avoid more exposure of Shahrukh's guest role.

Now Priyanka teams up with Shah Rukh for item song......


After Deepika Padukone and Kareena Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra has been chosen as the third heroine to make a special appearance in Priyadarshan's Billoo Barber and shake a leg with Shah Rukh Khan.

And Priyadarshan says it was a cakewalk for the superstar to get the leading ladies to do a cameo in his comedy.

"Since Shah Rukh plays a filmstar in the movie, I needed him to do some big glamorous song and dance numbers with some top heroines. I left the choice to Shah Rukh. I knew all he had to do was to pick up the phone and ask any of his leading ladies," Priyadarshan revealed.

According to sources, it was a tie between Rani Mukerji and Priyanka for the third item song with Shah Rukh Khan in Billoo Barber.

"But after Rani appeared on Salman Khan's game show Dus Ka Dum and knowing there's no love lost between Salman and Priyanka, the scales tilted automatically towards Priyanka," an industry source said.

Though King Khan has done item numbers earlier in Shakti, Kaal and Krazzy 4, this would be Priyanka's first item number.

The song with Kareena was shot at the very start of the shooting.

"At this very moment, I'm shooting a second item song with Deepika and Shah Rukh. That's again a very catchy number and Shah Rukh is having a ball shooting with Deepika," Priyadarshan said.

Interestingly, the director was supposed to launch Deepika two years ago in a film called Pirate.

"But that didn't work out. She made her debut with Shah Rukh (in Om Shanti Om). Now she's working with him again. And I also got a chance to work with her. Don't ask who's the lucky one," he quipped.

Inspired by the story of Lord Krishna and his childhood friend Sudama, a poor Brahmin, Billoo Barber tells the tale of a superstar and his pal Billoo (Irrfan Khan), who is a barber by profession.

King Khan's Billo Barber shelved


Alas! For few, it's getting dashed down with their hopes, but that wouldn't prolong for a long time. The release of most expected Shah Rukh Khan's flick Billo Barber is shelved to next year. Earlier, plans were to release the film on November 7 and now has been postponed to January next. Catching up with some of the closest sources, we got to hear one fine rigid reason for the delay. With the Tamil version of Katha Parayum Pol, 'Kuselan' flunking at Tamil Box office, plans are to shoot remaining portions so peculiarly.

Billo Barber indeed is the first flick that would have Shah Rukh Khan and Director Priyadarshan joining hands. Churned out by Shah Rukh himself under the banner of Red Chillies, the film features Irrfan Khan in lead. Well, King Khan performs cameo role as a film superstar.

Meanwhile, for those yearning to watch their hero on screen will have something great to exult on December 12. Any guesses, why? Yup! Its meeting of titans, for the film 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' of duo combo Aditya Chopra-Shah Rukh will hit screens…
