Shah Rukh Khan: The choosy King?

Bollywood film


Anil Sinanan, Times Bollywood Film Critic

Shah Rukh Khan continues to be in the news. Earlier this month, SRK and bad boy Salman Khan allegedly almost came to blows at Katrina Kaif's birthday party held at the posh Mumbai restaurant Olive. This was apparently over SRK's alleged refusal to make a guest appearance in Salman's forthcoming Main Aur Mrs Khanna.

The King Khan is now accused of delaying producer Viveck Vaswani's long in the making Dulha Mil Gaya. Vaswani diplomatically denies any Khan hassle: "Any big film would take its own sweet time to be completed. Only a few scenes with SRK remain to be canned. One song with SRK remains and we can shoot for it whenever his dates permit. We are not in a hurry."

SRK, on the other hand, was not too enthusiastic to talk about the film when I asked him about his role in the film. "It is just a guest appearance involving three days work. It involves interior shots in the Mumbai studios. No, I am not shooting abroad for this film.

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...
