Will SRK give taarik pe taarik!



After playing Rizwan Khan, a man who suffers from Asperger's Syndrome in My Name is Khan, SRK will step into the shoes of a lawyer for Subhash Kapoor's Jolly LLB.

The role is a first for SRK who has played a NASA scientist in Swades and a hockey player turned coach in Chak De! India.

Subhash Kapoor who directed the flop venture Say Salaam India starring Sanjay Suri, Vinay Pathak and Sandhya Mridul, will write and direct Jolly LLB. It will be jointly produced by Akshay Kumar's close aide, Rakesh Upadhyay. The film is based on a lawyer's life and will be an expose on the Indian judicial system.

According to sources, Rakesh and Shahrukh have wanted to work together for a long time and were looking for a suitable project. SRK liked this topic as he hasn't played a lawyer before and it seems like a fun film. He will be working outside the YRF and Dharma banners after a long time so it will be a different experience for him and audiences will see him in a new light. If everything goes according to plan, then the film will go on the floors next year.

Subhash Kapoor was lucky enough to meet SRK recently. The actor had given him 45 minutes for the script narration but he liked what he heard in the first 20 minutes and the meeting continued for two hours. SRK loved the film and was keen to start work on it soon. Producer Rakesh Upadhyay is finalizing the finer details, including the female lead. The film will throw light on the pros and cons of the judicial system for which it will have to be well-researched. A formal announcement will be made when the deal is signed, sealed and delivered.

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. In April 2012, Mr Khan was held back for over two hours at the airport in New York on a visit to address students at Yale University. He had joked later at Yale: "Whenever I start fee
