Kajol to play role Shah Rukh's wife

Kajol to play role Shah Rukh's wife

Bollywood's hottest on-screen couple is back after seven years. Kajol has finally agreed to do Karan Johar's next titled My Name Is Khan and plays Shah Rukh Khan's wife in the film about an Indian couple living in the US.

The two were last seen as couple in Karan's 2001 family saga Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham.

When the media reported the news of her being considered for the role in My Name Is Khan early last month, the actress had retorted by saying that without reading the script she would not give consent to work in a movie.

According to a source close to the production house, soon after that she went on a holiday with her family and there was a lull on the My Name Is Khan front. It has now been learnt that she has given the green signal to the movie.

Though the movie is scheduled to be launched in December, a buzz has already started about the composer trio, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, who have scored some "outstanding" tunes for the movie.

Those who have heard some of the tunes composed with dummy lyrics say that one of the highlights of My Name Is Khan will certainly be its music.

The launch of of the film has been deferred till December because at present Karan is busy with Dharma Productions' other movies, including the Abhishek Bachchan, Priyanka Chopra and John Abraham starrer Dostana. The film is due for release later this year.

Karan is also planning to launch his erstwhile assistant Ayaan as a full-fledged director. Incidentally, Ayaan is Kajol's first cousin.

Being SRK: The ultimate reality TV show

It's a job most Indians would die for — shadowing Shah Rukh Khan wherever he goes. For the last two months, that's exactly what a TV crew has been doing, following the country's biggest star from South Africa to America to London to Mumbai — all for the making of a unique six-part series on the actor, to be telecast on lifestyle channel Discovery Travel & Living. "It's an inner world-outer world kind of documentary," said Khan, speaking exclusively to HT. "Hopefully, the parts that people will get to see of me — at work and at other places — will shed some light on how films and film stars work and offer an insight into how I do things." Khan said he has got to know the crew quite well ("They have been very unobtrusive"). For Discovery Travel & Living, this series will be one of the biggest global productions to come out of India and will be shown all over the world. "We haven't yet decided when we're going to telec

'Every Damn Time,' Tweets Shah Rukh Khan, Detained At US Airport

Movie star Shah Rukh Khan, detained at an airport in the US for questioning again, tweeted on Thursday: "Every damn time!" The 50-year-old actor was detained at the Los Angeles airport this time. A man with the same name is on a US no-fly list of 80,000 people. He took to Twitter to voice his exasperation. I fully understand & respect security with the way the world is, but to be detained at US immigration every damn time really really sucks. @iamsrk  The brighter side is while waiting caught some really nice Pokemons. @iamsrk  Mr Khan, one of the most successful stars in the Hindi film industry, has been held back at US airports thrice in seven years. American officials tell NDTV that during immigration checks, what pops up is a name without any other detail to help draw a distinction.
