It's a classic catch-22 situation for the Shah Rukh Khan-owned franchise as far as Sourav Ganguly is concerned. They are mulling the option of going into IPL 4 without Bengal's favourite son, hoping to give the team a new direction. But the move can backfire badly as the team itself may lose lot of currency with fanatic fans in Kolkata if he's allowed to go away. As former Indian opener Devang Gandhi points out, KKR will lose their connectivity with local fans if they take the field without Sourav. "Not only that, whichever franchise signs up Sourav will actually enjoy 'home advantage' when playing at Eden Gardens against KKR. Take my word for it, the crowd will root for Sourav and whichever team he plays for," added Devang, who knows the Eden crowd inside out, having played and watched cricket at this venue all his life. Differences between Sourav and the KKR management soured prior to IPL 2 when their erstwhile coach John Buchanan came up with his ...

Koffee with Karan Season 3' has always left a deep impression on the minds of the viewers ever since it began three weeks back. This week, it was the turn of the trio- the top three directors of B-Town namely Raj Kumar Hirani, Imtiaz Ali and Farah Khan who were invited by host Karan Johar to share some of their experiences over cups of Koffee. To begin with, the trio was in the best of their moods and when Farah Khan walked in first she was made to clear the air about her and Shahrukh Khan. Farah was very straight forward as she said that both she and Shahrukh were busy with their respective movies so there was hardly any communication but she did admit that it was hard to miss Shahrukh as he appeared in some magazine or the other, and even otherwise she missed him every moment. As the show moved on, Raj Kumar Hirani was applauded for his success formula in films and also Imtiaz Ali,who had seen amazing success at the box office with his films. However, a significant point made...

Sharukh Khan is undoubtedly the most romantic actor in B Town today. Right from the Dilwale days to My name is Khan, SRK has been one romantic guy every girl would love to dream. Seems like Sania Mirza too is a part of his huge frenzy fan following group loving his romantic moves and Dialogues.Sania recently got married to ace Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik. Supposedly Shoaib is introvert and shy. So at the recent Sahara India sports award, Sania has asked SRK , the king of Romance to share some tips with Shoaib so that he talks more.The three had a great fun time on stage. Sania went on to say "Shah Rukh's strength is the way he talks and he also romances in a very charming way in his films.So, I asked him to share some tips with Shoaib and teach him a few romantic lines so he would talk more. It was all done in good humour and Shah Rukh was pulling our leg all through the act" Khan also made Sania and Shoaib shake a leg with him on the popular song fro...

Film people and controversy go hand in hand. Since the time Farah Khan started 'Tees Maar Khan' with Akshay Kumar, the media has constantly written about the fallout between once thick pals Farah and Shah Rukh Khan. While the media has constantly speculated that all's not well between Farah and SRK, the latest development seemed to take the 'bitterness' between them to a new level. Reportedly, SRK has prevailed upon the Lullas of Eros to bring 'Toonpur Ka Superrhero' on 24 December, in the same week as Farah's 'Tees Maar Khan'. "I don't think there's any truth to it," Farah tells me, "SRK would never stoop to that level. I refuse to believe it." But the fact remains that 'Tees Maar Khan' will not enjoy the solo status any longer, since 'Toonpur Ka Superhero' will vie for eyeballs and footfalls in the same (Christmas) week. "I am very fond of Ajay Devgn. But we are not competing with any...

TOI would not like to hazard a guess on the relationship status between Shah Rukh Khan and Farah Khan , but the buzz in Bollywood is that the choreographer-director has mercilessly spoofed the Bollywood Badshah in her forthcoming film Tees Maar Khan . It is said that Akshaye Khanna's role in the film is completely modelled on SRK. And the references to the superstar are as bold and direct as they can be. Trade pundits don't find this unusual. They say the film was written by Farah's husband Shirish Kunder , who doesn't see eye-to-eye with SRK, and naturally — the script-writer would have lampooned the Bollywood Badshah given the opportunity. So, Shirish's script has Akshaye suffering from a terrible back ache for which he has to constantly go to London for treatment. And, there's Akshaye in his opening shot talking about showing off his six-pack and going topless for a scene, which will remind viewers of SRK's Dard-e-Disco number in Om...

Pakistani entertainment channel, Prime TV's foray into events has had a setback after its first event featuring Shah Rukh Khan was cancelled in the last minute. The channel had come under major scrutiny from pressure in India including the Shiv Sena party. Last week, the party said it was "inappropriate" for the Bollywood star to be a part of the show (organised by a Pakistani channel) during a time when India had been observing the second anniversary of the 26/11 terrorist attacks. Only on Friday, organisers of the gala dinner and dance, Prime TV was adamant that Shah Rukh Khan will be attending despite pressure from India. Prime TV on the other hand said in a statement that the event was cancelled due to Shah Rukh Khan's filming commitments in Berlin where he is shooting for 'Don 2', plus the poor weather conditions. The statement said, "Mr. Khan's office has further asked us to refund all tickets. On this basis as a first priority...

In 1997, Antar Showbiz organized an event named 'HOT SUMMER NIGHT' at Dhaka Stadium [now Bangabandhu National Stadium], which ultimately did not take place, thus deceiving thousands of people, who purchased tickets for the show. It was even learnt at that time that, Ontor Showbiz started selling tickets for this show even without making any booking of the Dhaka Stadium. Warrant of arrest was issued against Swapan Chowdhury, owner of Antar Showbiz following this incident and police raided his residence at Silver Apalrtment at Eskaton area. The HOT SUMMER NIGHT program ultimately did not take place and it was never learnt whether the people, who purchased tickets, got their money back or not.

Shooting of Don 2 tend to a close The Bollywood star Shahrukh Khan holds sympathetic because of the filming of the sequel "Don 2 - The Chase Continues" continues in the German capital Berlin, and was pleased to enter in the past week, so in the Golden Book of Berlin. This Shah Rukh Khan resides in a Berlin hotel, where it has a little thanks to its special legal status because, contrary to the many other hotel guests should the Indian superstar Shah Rukh Khan in his hotel room to his liking, smoking pursue. The management allowed the actor Shahrukh Khan, in his suite to smoke while likely that this exemption for the charming Asian super star Shahrukh Khan be quite good because the main character of "Don 2 - The Chase Continues" smokes like to one or the other cigarette a day, but we do not like Apunkachoice.com For example, to exaggerate and claim that Shah Rukh Khan smokes like a chimney.

It is perhaps the best way to get launched, some might say. Shah Rukh Khan is all set to launch David Dhawan's son, Varun Dhawan , and newcomer Sidharth Malhotra in Karan Johar's next film.

This will be the first time that Karan himself will be directing a film which will star all newcomers. Our source said, "So far he has only made multi-starrers right from his debut film Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. However, the interesting part is that the film will be made with the association of SRK's production house Red Chillies as well and will be a joint venture with Dharma Productions.

Bollywood is excited that the patch-up between Shah Rukh Khan and Vishal Bhardwaj (after years!) has led to the possibility of a remake of Martin Scorsese's super hit The Departed. That SRK and Bhardwaj will do a film is certain, and if it is the official remake of Scorsese's film, then the actor will most certainly do Di Caprio's role. Which is that of a cop! The last time Shah Rukh played a cop was 10 years ago in the average action drama One 2 Ka 4 co-starring Jackie Shroff . Apparently, both SRK and Bhardwaj are keen on a joint production and in the meeting that they last had, they were eager to remake The Departed. The consent and rights have to be got from the international production house post which they can embark upon their ambitious film. For Matt Damon's role in the Hollywood film, the two will have to sit down and think about which other big Bollywood star to cast. However, at the time both SRK and Bhardwaj are busy with current p...

The saying goes: you've got to be careful about who all you offend on your way up because these are the same people you will meet on your way down. What this means in Shah Rukh Khan's context is gradually coming to the surface now. Yesterday, we told you that Shah Rukh called up Sanjay Leela Bhansali and mended fences with him, praising his latest film Guzaarish. The latest is that King Khan apologised to Sunil Gavaskar close to two weeks ago, at a sports awards function. After lashing out at Gavaskar in 2009 for his comments on the Kolkata Knight Riders' coach John Buchanan , Shah Rukh made an extra effort to mend his differences with him. Says an eyewitness, "When Gavaskar came up on stage, SRK politely told him that whatever had been reported had been misconstrued by the media, that he respects him very much and loves him for the several honours he has brought to the country." And Gavaskar apparently smiled and told SRK that things often g...
