Shah Rukh Khan, the badshah of bollywood who is desperate to do daring stunt sequences for Anubhav Sinha directed flick Ra.One, has been advised by doctors to resist from doing action sequences for two more months. Sources say that Dr Ali Irani, who examined King Khan's shoulder injury on Wednesday, was of the view that Shah Rukh Khan would have to continue with his physiotherapy and theraband exercises for two more months to be able to do action sequences in his films. In fact, Shah Rukh Khan's shoulder injury has recuperated to almost ninety percent and there are indications that it would completely heal within two months, if Shah Rukh Khan could take proper care of it.  Doctors have warned Shah Rukh Khan to continue with theraband exercises even during outdoor shooting spells, as only that can strengthen his injured shoulder muscles. Earlier, Shah Rukh Khan's sci-fi 'Ra.One' had been postponed due to his shoulder injury as the film required King Khan to perform b

Time heals all wounds, especially in the entertainment business, and none would vouch for this truism of life more than super icons Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Remember, they parted on a sour note after her hasty departure from his home production Chalte Chalte six years ago? She had already canned a portion of the film when Salman Khan reportedly landed on the sets... and, well, the rest as they say is history. Post that scene, SRK let Ash off the hook and took Rani Mukerji as his leading lady. And, since then, many big banners including Yashraj and Dharma failed to reunite the pair that created such magic in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Devdas. Subsequently, though the Bollywood Badshah wasn't invited to the Ash-Abhishek wedding, King Khan and wife Gauri posed with the Bachchans for the shutterbugs at the Drona premiere last year. And more recently, at Karan Johar's birthday party on May 25, the two couples — SRK and Gauri, Ash and Abhi — spent

Shah Rukh is still not completely fit. On Wednesday evening, physiotherapist Dr Ali Irani examined Shah Rukh and asked him not to start doing any action scenes for a couple of months. Shah Rukh had injured his left shoulder on the sets of Dulha Mil Gaya. The 43-year-old actor had to undergo an arthroscopy surgery on his left shoulder in February 2009 at the Breach Candy Hospital. A source said, "Shah Rukh is keen that he goes for all his shootings without bothering to look after his shoulder all the time. But he will have to wait before he goes all out and does action scenes. His shoulder is healing slowly but surely." Dr Irani confirmed that he had examined Shah Rukh on Wednesday. "Shah Rukh has got back 90 per cent of his movement but may need another month or two to get back his strength before he is ready to do stunt scenes," said Dr Irani. "SRK's fitness regimen to heal his shoulder includes special type of exercises with a theraband,

A television series on a science and lifestyle channel is all set to take you there soon. For six months, cameras will shadow the actor in India and across the globe, to present viewers a rare peek into the life of the superstar. Says SRK, "The idea of the series is both exhilarating and unique as it showcases aspects of my life that have seldom been seen in the public domain. I look forward to welcoming you all into my life." Source: Midday

Mumbai: The enemy of my enemy is my friend now. It seems to be true in context with the Bollywood Badshah Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai. If reports are to be believed after a span of seven years both will be seen together on silver screen. The verbal war between duo with Salman Khan has had hit the headlines in the past. Hence, it seems that the enmity with Sallu Mian helped duo to come close. Their relationship had turned sour during the shoot of SRK's home production �Chalte Chalte'. Sallu had created a ruckus on the sets and Ash had to be ousted from the movie. It didn't go down well with the world's most beautiful woman and since has not worked with Sharukh. However the title of the movie is yet to be decided but duo are agreed work together. Well, in the past Aish had played sister of Shah Rukh in 'Josh' and a dead beloved in 'Mohabbatein', it will be interesting to see what role she does against SRK. It would be worth watching Bollywood

Karan Johar will be going global with his movie My Name Is Khan very soon. There had been speculations abound whether Karan would be selling the world rights of the film to either Yash Raj Films or to his new business associate UTV (they have tied up for Qurbaan and Wake Up Sid). But it is now learnt that Karan is tying up with a big international distribution company for the movie. This company is none other than Fox Studios. Apparently, they have already bought Karan's My Name Is Khan for a whopping Rs 100 Crore. Multiple Oscar winner Slumdog Millionaire was a Fox product and the aggressive manner by which the studio is known to promote their films worldwide; one is sure My Name Is Khan will definitely be on everyone's lips the world over, during the time of its release. With its topical theme and world's most popular actor Shah Rukh Khan in it, we won't be surprised if the movie shatters box-office records worldwide, apart from generating critical acclaim just like

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

Shah Rukh Khan has always been a sports enthusiast. Whether it's cricket or soccer, the actor has always supported all kinds of sports. Rani tagged along Recently the Malaysian prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak invited SRK for his birthday celebrations. During his stay, Shah Rukh made a donation of RM50,000 to National Athletes Welfare Foundation of Malaysia. Rani Mukerji accompanied SRK for the event where he handed over the cheque and spoke about his love for sports. He said that he hoped his donation would help fund programmes and schemes set up for athletes in the country. Getting briefed The sports minister Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek briefed Rani and Shah Rukh about the 1 Ringgit, 1 Malaysia campaign which was set up to help collect donations for former athletes.

And it was not an ordinary birthday bash. Malaysian Prime Minister Datukshri Najib Tun Razak was the birthday boy! As soon as Shahrukh reached Mumbai after long vacation from London, he boarded the flight for Kuala Lumper. We wondered why Kuala Lumper? And then we came to know that Shahrukh was the guest of honor at the birthday party of the Malaysian Prime Minister . According to Shahrukh, ""The Prime Minister and his wife Datinshri Rosamah were very kind to me when I shot Don here. As a friend, I was invited to spend an evening with them.'' Shahrukh has also received Malaysian title of Datuk — equivalent to a British knighthood, in 2008. "It made me feel special and it also provided me an opportunity to carry on a relationship with a country that is culturally close to ours,'' said SRK. To fulfill the popular demand, Shahrukh also sang Kuch Kuch Hota Hai at the Birthday Bash. Source:

Former India skipper Sourav Ganguly is likely to lead the Kolkata Knight Riders in the third edition of the Indian Premier League. Ganguly led in the inaugural tournament in 2008, but was controversially replaced in 2009 by Brendon McCullum - a decision that the then coach John Buchanan made. Ganguly met franchise owner Shahrukh Khan in England when he was there to watch the ICC World Twenty20 Championship, and they discussed the captaincy as well as the appointment of a new coach for the team for the next season of the twenty20 tournament. According to sources, the KKR management would like to announce the decision later, sometime in the middle of August once the new coach is appointed. Even as an official announcement is awaited, sources said that there could be a major reshuffle with former India coach Wright likely to replace John Buchanan as the Knight Riders coach, while former Australian middle-order batsman Michael Bevan will be on the coaching panel.

Mumbai: Talk about ageing gracefully and Shah Rukh Khan seems to be doing it extremely well both on-screen and off-screen. The over 40 actor who plays the role of a loving father in real life will be seen essaying the role of a dad with special powers to teenage kids on reel in his two forthcoming films Karan Johar`s 'My Name Is Khan' and Anubhav Sinha`s 'Ra1'. While many B-town big daddies are still vying to bag young lover-boy roles and doing everything in their capacity from Botox to pumping iron to play the college lad, Shah Rukh seems to have made peace with his age. What's more is that the actor is making no qualms about doing such roles and is quiet open-minded about evolving his screen image from a cute-boy to a matured father. Confirming the news filmmaker Karan Johar told a news daily, " Yes, Shah Rukh is playing father to a teenager in 'MNIK'. It was never an issue for either Shah Rukh or me. But then why should it

Shah Rukh Khan plays the father of a teenager in Karan Johar's My Name Is Khan. He is also playing dad to a grown-up child in Anubhav Sinha's Ra1. When most top actors shy away from playing papas of big kids, SRK feels it is okay for him to be shown as the father of a strapping young lad. For most stars, toddlers or perhaps five-six year olds are okay if they have to play daddy figures. It is reliably learnt that the actor had no qualms about having a grown-up child when he was told about it. It was not a matter of concern for his screen persona, nor did he discuss the reasons behind the need to be shown with a teenaged offspring. So what? Confirms Karan, "Yes, Shah Rukh is playing father to a teenager in MNIK. It was never an issue for either Shah Rukh or me. But then why should it be? His son Aryan is almost 11. In my first film, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, when Shah Rukh was 30, he played a college student! Actors should not worry about these things. I don't think they shou

Okay, the Knight Riders needn't get insecure Shah Rukh Khan More Pics already. First, hear us out, boys. We told you about Shah Rukh Khan holidaying with his bachchas at his favourite hot-spot London. What we didn't tell you is that he loves London so much that when he's there, he drops all his starry inhibitions and becomes one of 'em. Yeah, believe it or not, SRK is often spotted playing cricket in Hyde Park (which is a stone's throw away from his new plush apartment). His son loves the sport as much as Daddy, so they join Aryan's friends in the park to play their favourite game. Obviously they have quite an audience (and self-appointed cheer-leaders, umpires, etc.), but the game goes on. Some fans even hang around the park for autographs and pictures, but no one, not even the paparazzi really bothers him too much. Well, if the English team plans to join him for one of the games (or simply to rub shoulders with the King Khan)... that will be ano

We all know King Khan loves living life king-size. Recently after wrapping up the  shoot for Karan Johar's My Name is Khan, Shah Rukh Khan set off for London with his family to enjoy a much deserved vacation. Unlike other stars who would probably check into a hotel when they're in London, Shah Rukh Khan stayed at a house he bought in one of London's most expensive localities (Park Lane, Central London). "The actor has always said that London is one of his most favourite places to relax and unwind. Every year, during the kids' vacation, the family of four heads off to the Queen's country. He has been spotted spending evenings with Aryan and Suhana at Hyde Park, a stone's throw away from Park Lane," a source was quoted by Mid-Day as having said. The source further told the paper that a regular apartment in the area costs anywhere between '2 million pounds and 8 million pounds.'

MUMBAI: Karan Johar is a hugely relieved man. The American portion of the shooting for his film, My Name is Khan wrapped up a week back. The director has been shooting in San Francisco for the better part of 5 weeks. Starring Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol, My Name is Khan started its shooting schedule in December, last year. Due to the shoulder injury of SRK, the shooting was stalled for some time. And with the IPL moving to South Africa, SRK's dates for the film had to be shuffled and Karan shot a large portion of his film in the Filmistan studio of Mumbai. A close friend of the director spilled the beans, "My Name is Khan has taken a lot from Karan as he feels that there is a lot of expectation riding on his shoulders. People expect him to make a blockbuster film and with a cast as successful as SRK and Kajol, nothing but the best is what they want. And so after he wrapped up the American schedule, Karan went to London for a 4 day holiday." A holiday for Karan means a lot of

Mumbai: Karan Johar's next coming movie "My Name Is Khan" is based on post 9/11 situation in US. It's all about a Muslim who suffers from the Asperger syndrome , a form of autism that impacts social interaction abilities. The guy is arrested as a suspected terrorist in post-9/11 Los Angeles after authorities mistake his disability for suspicious behaviour. Talking about the movie Karan Johar says, Shah Rukh has played really well in the movie. Johar says, "Time and again I'm blown away by Shah Rukh. How can he think of so many things about his character when he has so much on his plate?" "He has done monumental research on his autistic character. I was zapped by how much he knew on the subject. And he brought all the knowledge on the sets." Johar added.

Ironical, it is. Shah Rukh Khan is now a doctor; but he is also very pained. He has been awarded a doctorate from the Bedfordshire University in UK for his contribution to arts and culture. "The honour brought me a lot of joy,'' says SRK, who is currently on vacation with Gauri and his children Aryan and Suhana. He laughs when he is addressed as 'Dr' and says, "Somehow it makes me feel slightly older when someone calls me Dr Shah Rukh Khan.'' Describing his time on the podium where he received the honour, he says, "Wearing that square cap with tassels tilted to the left, brought images of the heroes of the 70s; it was an oft-repeated thing in films those days. I didn't know whether etiquette required me to take Aryan and Suhana along for the convocation ceremony. So I left the children behind.'' Happily, Gauri was by his side when he received the honour. "I sincerely hope my parents could have watched this... and I hope th

I look forward to doing my bit in providing necessary assistance to the deserving students for higher education in my University." The doctorate was conferred on Shah Rukh in recognition of his exceptional achievement as a film actor and producer. There is an interesting story behind the award.

He's transformed from a reckless guy to someone who deals with life cautiously. He told me, 'When you have children, your perspective of life changes. You see life through them.' The challenge was to present his life as honestly as possible. I ended up finding some Shah Rukhs and wound up also losing some Shah Rukhs.

A man who hails from a mediocre background, Shahrukh has scaled many mountains of success in his memorable career spanning more than 17 years. We hope he will keep on mesmerising us in near future also. WITH UNIVERSITY of Bedfordeshire honouring King Khan with an honorary Doctorate degree at a dazzling ceremony organised in London-UK on Friday (July 10), India's leading actor added another landmark in his illustrious career.   A man who hails from a mediocre background, Shahrukh has scaled many mountains of success in his memorable career spanning more than 17 years.   Known as King Khan, Shahrukh was born on November 2, in the year 1965 in New Delhi in a Muslim family, Shahrukh's father Taj Mohammed was a freedom fighter who hailed from Peshawar while his mother was an adopted daughter of one of the greatest soldiers of Subhash Chandra Bose's Indian National Army, Major General Shah Nawaz Khan.  One of the most celebrated actors of all times, Sharukh did his schooling from
