Islam and Hinduism preach brotherhood: Shahrukh Khan

Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan has always been a staunch supporter and believer of Indian secularism. The actor was the main guest at Davat-e-Sehri, a function organised by Mumbai Congress President Kripashankar Singh in the early hours of Sunday, prior to the fast observed during Ramzan. Speaking at the event, SRK appealed to the Indian youth to shun terrorism and violence. He also called for communal harmony in the wake of recent terrorist attacks in the country. He insisted that the major religions of India preach brotherhood. "The fact that Singh has been organising a Davat-e-Sehri proves that Islam and Hinduism preach brotherhood and peace," he said. "Ramzan is a holy month and God answers our special prayers during this period. The 27th day of Roza is a day of piety," Shah Rukh said. The actor said he was not able to observe Roza for the entire month of Ramzan. "I could manage only seven days. It was not possible due to my erratic work schedule,

Come home to SRK Boulevard

SAMYABRATA RAY GOSWAMI Mumbai, Sept. 29:  The man who weaves many dreams is now building castles in the air. Literally. Superstar, entertainment mogul and sports magnate, the business-savvy Shah Rukh Khan has now decided to turn realty developer with a beachfront property on a prime plot at Al Dana, an island created on reclaimed land at Ras Al Khaimah — one of the seven emirates — on the Oman border. The actor, who owns Red Chillies Entertainment and Kolkata Knight Riders — the Calcutta cricket team in the Indian Premier League — has joined hands with the United Arab Emirates-based TSA International Investments, which has built many plush properties in and around Dubai.

Shahrukh Khan's Temptation gets more loaded

27th Sept 2008  21.00 IST By ApunKaChoice   Shahrukh Khan seems to be pulling out all the stops to make his upcoming world tour as loaded as possible. The superstar is making sure there's enough glitz, gloss and glamour in the musical concerts of the 'Temptation Reloaded' tour, to be held in Germany, Spain and Dubai in October. Even as the preparation for the shows is underway, SRK has roped in the Bollywood bombshells Bipasha Basu and Deepika Padukone for the German leg of the tour. The two ladies bonded well during the promotion of their film Bachna Ae Haseeno and are also likely to share the stage during the concerts. Katrina Kaif will also be a big attraction of the tour, in spite of the rumours alleging her departure from 'Temptation' after SRK's spat with Salman Khan . This bandwagon of Bollywood beauties might get further crowded with the possible inclusion of Kareena Kapoor . Talks are presently on with Kareena and her dates are being l

I do a silly job, but I love doing it

SRK interview: I do a silly job, but I love doing it I do a silly job, but I love doing it Catching up with Shah Rukh Khan as he nurses a back injury Shah Rukh Khan's hurt his back again and as he sat at home, he spoke at length about his health problem, and his life and times in general. You have hurt your back again? Yes, I am not doing too well. I am currently bed ridden as you can see. I forget I am 43 and I tried to do a fight scene and got hurt very badly. I hurt my back and my neck. The doctor is coming every two hours to check my state and monitor me closely. You are still going on and on… aren't you scared of a burnout? I truly believe that even after so many years I feel like every film is my first and last film. I feel that if this doesn't work out then I won't get another film to work on. So I do it with that desperation, that intensity and that passion. I want to die doing a film. I think I should not be working so hard. But then I have been made to do so

ACTRESSES PAY TRIBUTE

And to make the song bigger, Aditya Chopra has decided to include four top actresses to join Shah Rukh in the song.

And the song will pay not only pay a tribute to the yesteryear actors and actresses but also famous singers. Sonu, who has sung the song, has paid a tribute to legendary singers like Muke

Lara plays gaon ki gori!

Shooting for Billo Barber was an extremely unique experience for Lara Dutta. The movie has been shot in Pollachi, a small town in Tamil Nadu where stars did not get good accommodation and had to stay in a typical South Indian house. And amidst all this, Lara enjoyed the privilege of being taken special care of by King Khan himself. She says, "The only accommodation we could get was a highway lodge. After spending three nights without sleep, Shah Rukh and his production personally went and found someone's house to stay." Though she is not paired opposite SRK, she bonded well with him on the set of Billo Barber. "This is the 1st time Shah Rukh and I have worked together. He is fantastic as a producer and as an actor. I was thoroughly pampered and entertained and the team spent time playing dumb charades." Apparently Pollachi is a small town and due to lack of transport facilities Lara traveled by tractors. Speaking about her experience she said, "I

SRK goes 'Spiky'

SRK has always seen experimenting a different look everytime he works with Aditya Chopra and Yash Raj Films. After playing double roles in 'Duplicate', 'Don', 'Om Shanti Om' Shahrukh will be seen playing double role in Aditya Chopra's 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi'. SRK has always seen experimenting a different look everytime he works with Aditya Chopra and Yash Raj Films. He looked like a cool dud in 'Dilwale Dhulaniya Le Jayenge' with a cool hairdo and trendy jackets and shirts. In 'Dil Toh Pagal Hai' we saw him sporting outfits from Calvin Klein T's to elegant designer suits. Later, in 'Mohabbatein' he went for a classy look with those of cool pullovers complemented with geeky glasses that he wore. And the shoes he wore are still popular. For 'Veer-Zaara' he experimented  his look as a young army officer and an old prisoner. Shahrukh shed his ultra-glamorous look in 'Chak De India'

Shah Rukh & Kajol will sizzle in RNBDJ !

The Kajol-Shah Rukh jodi hasn't been seen together since Kabhie Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001). The industry's fav jodi are committed to Karan Johar's My Name Is Khan due 2009. However, the two will be seen together before that in Aditya Chopra's Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. However, Kajol is not paired with SRK in RNBDJ, she's only doing a song. It was director Aditya Chopra's idea to rope in Kajol. The song will be shot in Mumbai. And Kajol will appear in one of the verses of a song filmed on Shah Rukh and newcomer Anushka Sharma. The setting of the song will be a Punjabi folk event, and Kajol appears seconds before the song ends. A source says, "It will be very similar to her appearance in Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna. All it took was a phone call from Adi for her to say yes." Chopra's directorial debut Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge starred SRK and Kajol in lead roles, and he was looking forward to having them together in the same frame.

Shah Rukh Khan bids adieu to six-pack abs dons a lean mean look

Spicezee Bureau  Mumbai, Sept 22: With his six-pack abs and raunchy masculine sex appeal, Shah Rukh Khan gave the actors half his age a run for their money. But now the King Khan has decided to bid adieu to his much raved about abs and just entertain us all with his raw sex appeal as he goes back to basics sporting that guy next look with his lean body frame.  Yes, the actor who once donned a pumped up look and a sweaty appeal for getting that Greek God like build is now just avoiding the gym in his attempt to loose that macho look.  Care to guess what's making King Khan gym aversive?  Well, the actor is following strict instructions given by good friend and directors Aditya Chopra and Karan Johar. Shah Rukh who is all set to play a leading role in Aditya's 'Rab Ne Bana De Jodi' and Karan's 'My Name Is Khan' has been asked to do away with his sexy looks as both the flicks require him to look lean.  Sticking onto the directions, the actor is now chilling

TOP 5: The stars who bounced back

TOP 5: The stars who bounced back Meet the big five who simply refused to quit and are now on top Everyone goes through a rough patch. And the biggest stars in Bollywood are no exceptions. Shah Rukh Khan  to  Hrithik Roshan , everyone has faced such tough times, it's surprising how they've bounced back. Here's a lowdown: Shah Rukh Khan With dreams in his eyes, Shah Rukh came to Mumbai 'to own this city'. Today he confesses that it's the city that owns him. But he seems to have no regrets. With over 50 movies to his credits Shah Rukh Khan  may well be the most envied star today. But like many actors, he too started small. Shah Rukh's first film was  Hema Malini 's  Dil Aashna Hai  but it was Raj Kunwar's  Deewana  that released first. Incidentally, both the films had the late Divya Bharati opposite him. Divya was then a very big star. But  Deewana  turned the tables and made Shah Rukh a star overnight. It also fetched him the Filmfare Award for

SRK to lose his six pack abs

King Khan created excitement among his contemporaries with his six pack abs body at the age 42. He worked very hard to get it for the look of his character in Om Shanti Om. And just when his fans thought that he will flaunt his six pack abs in some more films, Shah Rukh is going for a lean look. Apparently Shah Rukh Khan's forthcoming films Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and My Name Is Khan do not require a macho man look. It is learnt that SRK has stopped his workout since the last few months. In Yash Raj's forthcoming film RNBDJ he plays a young college going boy while in Karan Johar's MNIK he will be seen as a NRI Muslim. And since he is required to look lean to suit his characters, King Khan will not flaunt his abs anymore.

Bhutan goes Bollywood

The coronation of Bhutan's new King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuk next month will feature a surprisingly varied cast from India. Led by chief guest President Pratibha Patil, a power-packed delegation comprising not merely top political honchos but also Shah Rukh Khan will travel to Thimpu. The Indian delegation will manage a double act of cementing ties with Bhutan and entertaining the new king. The crowning of Wangchuk, 29, who is world's youngest king, will be a special affair with lots of colour and fanfare. While UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi is a special invitee, Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi is also expected to be there along with External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee. Despite the pageantry and the presence of political heavyweights, the show stealer may well turn out to be a performance by Khan and Bollywood's newest heart-throb Katrina Kaif at Thimpu's new soccer stadium. The king is an avid movie watcher and the performance has been planned at hi

ShahRukh Disappoints Fans

The Red Chilies Production Film Billo Barber which is the remake of Rajnikanth starrer 'Kuselan' will not be released this Diwali. The release has been postponed to early next year. According to sources, two songs of the movie are yet to be shot and with a large scale marketing plan in the pipe line; it will be very difficult to release the film in month from now.  However the flop of the original film seems to be the most probable cause. Even the die hard fans of Rajnikanth were not able to give any credit to the movie. Having learnt their lesson, the director Priyadarshan and producer SRK have decided to re-shoot a few scenes and also shorten the duration of the film to 150 minutes as compared to 180 min in the original.  The film could have had an early or mid November release but then that would disturb Karan Johar's plan of releasing 'Dostana,' and for Shah Rukh friends are important. As for King Khan this is not a setback because his Yash Raj banner film wit

Priyanka and SRK are an item together

Subhash K Jha, IANS Monday, September 22, 2008: (Mumbai): 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 said. 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

Shah Rukh Khan as the boy next door

Shah Rukh Khan has epitomized the role of lover boy on the screen throughout the last decade portraying different enigmatic heroes. Shah Rukh Khan as the boy next door Shah Rukh Khan has epitomized the role of lover boy on the screen throughout the last decade portraying different enigmatic heroes. Now, for Aditya Chopra 's Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi , he plays the role of the boy next door- a regular guy with no fancy airs, no special details , just a normal kind of guy. But according to Shah Rukh it is this type of guy who is the most romantic. In an interview given to a website, the actor exclaimed "The most boring, normal guys are the best lovers." The King Khan said this while elaborating more on the character he is portraying in Aditya Chopra 's ' Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi '. According to SRK "I play this normal, regular guy. He is that sort of character whom people meet in everyday life; there is nothing fancy, attractiv

Hollywood and Bollywood join the Middle East celebrity property train

SRK: Most boring, normal guys are best lovers!

The most boring, normal guys are the best lovers! This surprising statement comes from none other than one of the greatest on screen lovers of all time, Shah Rukh Khan, who has successfully romanticized numerous young heroines and gave love a whole new meaning with the blockbuster, DILWALE DULHANIA LE JAAYENGE (still running in its record 675th week). While talking about his role and character in Aditya Chopra's much anticipated, RAB NE BANA DI JODI, Shah Rukh Khan explained that he plays this normal, regular guy. It�s the sort of character that people meet in everyday life; there is nothing fancy, attractive or interesting about them. His role therefore requires him to keep things simple, his look, make up and his demeanour. Once again Bollywood's global superstar has an interesting logic behind the character that he essays in RNBDJ. Shah Rukh says that the most boring, uninteresting, regular kinds of guys are the greatest lovers in the world. So, this means that SRK is once a
