SRK wakes up Hrithik!


It's the star-wives' club at work. Mrs Shah Rukh Khan and Mrs Hrithik Roshan have brought their two superstar-husbands together.

On Friday night when Shah Rukh Khan watched Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Guzaarish with his close family and friends he was so moved by the film and Hrithik Roshan's performance that he yanked his younger colleague out of slumber and made him immediately drive down to his bungalow Mannat.

No one says no to King Khan. Dead tired and fighting off a viral attack Hrithik had no choice but to drive down to Mannat. Shah Rukh and Hrithik discussed Guzaarish and Hrithik's performance until 2 am.

Says a source, "Shah Rukh had asked for a print of Guzaarish because he's very fond of Hrithik. Also because Shah Rukh had played a physically challenged character in My Name Is Khan. He was curious to see how Hrithik had approached the character of a physically disabled hero. What started as profession inquisitiveness turned into a complete involvement with the onscreen goings-on. Shah Rukh felt Hrithik in Guzaarish excelled his own performance in My Name Is Khan.Shah Rukh also feels Guzaarish was way superior to what the director Sanjay Bhansali had achieved with Shah Rukh in Devdas."

Half-way through the film Shah Rukh rang up Hrithik and asked him to come home immediately. The two are close friends and their wives are even closer.

Says Hrithik, "In fact Sussanne was already at Mannat. When Shah Rukh wanted me to go over I had no choice. He's always very generous."

It is rare for a colleague to be so generous towards another colleague's stand-out performance, specially when he has given an equally riveting performance in the same genre during the same year.

Says a source, "Shah Rukh in My Name Is Khan and Hrithik in Guzaarish portraying two inspirational protagonists suffering from a crippling disability, will be the two top contenders for the best-actor nominations this year. By so generously acknowledging Hrithik's performance Shah Rukh has dissolved the competitive edge between two superstars."

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...
