SRK refuses Bigg Boss 4, Channel offered him a larger remuneration than Big B.

Though the fourth season of Bigg Boss is around the corner the host for the show is far from being finalised. After hosting season 3 of Bigg Boss, Amitabh Bachchan will not be able to anchor the show again because the channel does not repeat hosts on this show. Says a source, "Unfortunately the channel has a weird policy not to repeat hosts on Bigg Boss. Moreover, by the time the channel officials realised that it was difficult to get a replacement it was too late. Big B had already committed himself to hosting season 4 of Kaun Banega Crorepati. So they consciously decided to look for another host." The channel then started wooing Shah Rukh Khan since he is viewed as one of the very few people who can fill Big B's shoes. But despite all their efforts, the channel's deal with King Khan has now fallen through. Says the source, "The channel went all out to get Shah Rukh to host Bigg Boss 4. They even offered him a larger remuneration than Big B. But SRK...

Who's taking care of Shahrukh's Ra.One?

Latest buzz doing the rounds is that discontentment among the makers of one of the most expensive films Ra.One over the flow of the script. Thus, Hollywood's screenplay writer David Benullo has been roped to make the script at par with Hollywood standards.  David was introduced to the film soon after SRK and his team felt the need of a Hollywood style to fill the loopholes in the script. In fact, screenplay writer has taken a few rounds in the Mumbai to ink upon the locations to become the backdrop of film.   David will give new dimensions to the script written by trio Shahrukh, director Anubhav Sinha and Mushtaq.

SRK rides Ducati is his latest sci-fi flick

Unit sources shooting in London are raving about how Khan alongwith director Anubhav Sinha is shooting the action scenes for the film with the help of Hollywood technicians. "The actor is canning car chase sequences and they are truly unbelievable — something that has not been seen in Indian films before.

SRK lives life king-size!

Talk about being treated as royalty, this King commands it wherever he goes. Last week, Shah Rukh Khan was in South Africa for the FIFA finals, and all that exuberance, hollering and cheering was quite a high for this sports buff, but it sapped his energy. He ended up with flu and bad throat, of course, the fact that the game was really over only paled his high spirits. So, the hotel he was staying in left no stone unturned to pamper the superstar. When they heard that SRK wasn't feeling too well, they served him a special ginger lemon drink every few hours. Their best chefs were put to work to dish out simple Indian fare like daal, chawal and sabzi to appease his taste buds. Such are the privileges of being the King Khan, huh? Live life king size, SRK! That's the way to be. Source: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-interviews/SRK-lives-life-king-size/articleshow/6172071.cms

It was a joke! As he tweeted some minutes later: "am joking about the singing. just a picture cos we found lots of glasses around."

We love you Bollywood, says Deutschland

A sight which caught festival delegate Dorothee Wenner by surprise. "I have never seen a German audience express themselves like that over the name of a production company!" When Germans, known for their reserve, go berserk inside a movie theatre for a Bollywood film, it is time to sit up and take notice. Wenner, in fact, finds many German movie buffs, reacting in a whole new way, 'a typical Indian way' as a result of a Bollywood craze that has taken the German cinemaspace by storm over the past six years. Today, Hindi films are all over Germany, from theatres to TV which are giving them primetime slots, to a flood of home...

He then posted the picture you see and added, "As you notice it is a bit cold here in jo'berg. My undercover extreme cold look." When Konkona Sen Sharma saw the pic, she tweeted, "Haha!

Da.One

Agreed, Bollywood has lost crores this year because a lot of expensive films failed to retrieve their expected turnovers (Blue, of course, stands apart for its sheer wastage of money). But the biggest production companies seem to have blind belief in films that star Shah Rukh Khan. Nearly Rs 300 crore is riding on King Khan's shoulders. Newsflash: Reliance Big Pictures has not hit rock bottom with the poor turnover of the Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai starrer Raavan. Neither has Hrithik Roshan and Barbara Mori's Kites debacle at the box office obstructed their soaring fund levels.
