Welcome to @iamsrk ShahRukh Khan's Blog

If Shah Rukh Khan fans are under the impression that the King Khan plays the title role in his most awaited multi-crore extravaganza, here is a bit of a surprise. Contrary to the popular belief, Arjun Rampal and not Shah Rukh essays the character named RA.One in the film of the same name, to be directed by Anubhav Sinha. A reliable source reveals, "Shah Rukh Khan will be seen in a double role in the film. One of his characters is that of a scientist who creates two robots-the good robot is G.One. And the bad one is RA.One, While Shah Rukh plays the good robot, G.One, it's Arjun Rampal who is playing the bad robot, RA.One." When contacted, director Anubhav Sinha promptly says, "Let others decide who is Ra.One and G.One. There are no robots in the film." But he later did confirm, "Shah Rukh does play G.One."

Superstar is the most abused epithet in Bollywood. The phrase-strapped fourth estate uses it to describe star sons, non-actors, average performers and muscle-men. However, when you say the words King Khan or the Badshah of Bollywood, only one name springs to mind — Shah Rukh Khan . And 2010 saw SRK score many goals. He partnered Karan Johar on My Name is Khan , a film that went on to become the highest overseas Bollywood grosser, in which his superlative performance silenced critics who have often accused him of using only his charisma on screen. He led his IPL team to better averages than in previous years; his team is also one of the most cash-rich cricket franchises. When a political party tried to bulldoze him, he simply refused to bow to pressure. In his inimitable style, SRK reigned. The only ones who had complaints against him are his fans who felt they didn't get to see enough of him. As the sun set on 2010, SRK promised that in the New Year all this i...

Shah Rukh missed three flights to   Dubai   because he was shooting a promo. He flew the next day to join his family   This is one starry flight. Superstar   Shah Rukh Khan , who was shooting a promo for his next TV show,   Zor Ka Jhatka , booked three flights to Dubai at three different timings, all business class.   All in his name. One flight was at 10pm, the next at 12am and the one after that at 4am. Why would you spend so much money? Well, he was uncertain when the shoot would end.   The actor had to fly to Dubai to bring in New Year's Eve with family and friends.   King Khan began shooting on Wednesday at Film City from early evening; the shoot was scheduled for merely a few hours.   Rukh's entire clan (including his friends) had already flown out to Dubai. Sadly, he couldn't make it to any of these flights since the shoot went way beyond time.   Nikhil Madhok, senior director of marketing and communications of the channel airing Zor Ka Jhatka, confirmed th...

Then there was the shooting of his ambitious 'Ra.One' that kept him busy all year. SRK, now has a host of new things to look forward to as well - his small screen reality show 'Zor ka Jhatka' and the release of 'Ra.One'.

Director Vishal Bhardwaj will reportedly launch a "new face" opposite Shah Rukh Khan Two States . The film adaptation of Chetan Bhagat's novel originally had Saif Ali Khan in the lead with Siddharth Anand as director before alleged script differences led to the film being called off. The project was resumed with Bhardwaj at the helm and Shah Rukh Khan in the lead, with Priyanka Chopra or Aishwarya Rai both purportedly being considered for the female lead. According to the Times of India the director is looking to cast an unknown actress in the film. "It's neither Ash nor Priyanka.

The King Khan plays a superhero in Anubhav Sinha's next RA.One and it seems like the role is rubbing off on him in real life too. Shah Rukh Khan is multi-tasking off the screen and apart from playing the lead role in the film, he has also written a part of the screenplay. For evidence of this literary spark, look closely at the closing credits of the film where he will be credited for writing the screenplay along with Hollywood writer David Benullo. An industry insider said, "Since RA.One is not a run-of-the-mill film, it requires unique treatment. It has loads of special effects, which is why Shah Rukh wanted Benullo to work on the script, along with Kanika Dhillon, to make sure it stands out from the usual commercial Hindi films." Benullo has Around the World in 80 Days, Hallowed Ground, Cupid and Shadow Man which won the International Fantasy Film Award in 2006 to his credit. "While sitting for screenplays with Benullo and Dhillon, Shah R...

SRK offered role in the Hrithik Roshans' superhero sequel Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan have been bonding big time for a while now. Their personal rapport is likely to extend to a professional level as well.  King Khan has been offered a role in the Roshans' home production Krrish 2. Says a source, "Shah Rukh and Hrithik are the best of pals in the industry today. It was but natural for Roshan Sr to etch a role in his son's flick for his buddy as well. SRK's character in the film will have shades of gray to it." Adds the source, "The Roshans have already sounded Khan off about having him in their project. And he has told them that he can be available only after the release of his production Ra.One." The sequel to Rakesh Roshan's 2006 flick has been in the pipeline for a while. After the debacle of Kites and Guzaarish, papa Roshan has taken it upon himself to ensure that his son's career gets back on track.   And consid...

Bollywood superstar set to host lavish Palm island party for family and friends; Hrithik Roshan to attend Sometimes it feels Dubai is an extension of Bollywood. The emirate has certainly emerged as the party break destination for India's film fraternity. With Salman Khan bringing in his 45th birthday with a lavish three-day event at the Grand Hyatt Dubai, news has now emerged that Shah Rukh Khan will party it up in the shiny emirate. The Bollywood superstar is reportedly jetting into the UAE with his family and a group of close friends, all of whom are likely to be checked into a luxury hotel on The Palm Jumeirah from December 30 to January 1. Accompanying him are fellow actor Hrithik Roshan and his wife Susanne Khan, as well as director Karan Johar and lawyer Kaajal Anand, who is close to Shah Rukh's wife Gauri.

Amongst all hype, all the great promotional campaigns from the choreographer turned director Farah Khan, her latest film Tees Maar Khan starring Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif released on the 24th of December. The film was received with great response on day 1 at the box office but saw week fan following afterwards, besides the critics also slammed the movie. Recently Shahrukh was at a launch of an energy drink at the Grand Hyatt in Mumbai where he was asked about the movie's response. He smiled and responded that he was so busy shooting non-stop for Ra. one that he would fall asleep at such questions. The response might be a diplomatic one but the smile on his face was enough to raise a few eye-brows. In another incident relating to the movie, a place where film's photos were being printed to be on the covers of Tees Maar Khan was found and the people were caught with charges of piracy against them. The matter was reported to the producers also. Toll free number...

Looks like Shah Rukh Khan is proving that he is the 'Badshah' even of Tellyland. TOI has learned that King Khan is apparently charging Rs 2.5 crore per episode for his forthcoming reality show Zor Ka Jhatka on TV. Top industry sources claim that with this astronomical amount, SRK certainly becomes the costliest B-town A-lister to be signed on for a reality show. Whenever Salman Khan , Akshay Kumar and Amitabh Bachchan have hosted TV shows, the industry debated whether they were the highest paid actors. However, this time it looks like the figures are on SRK's side. A source from the show reveals, "No one will speak openly about how much he is earning, but SRK charging Rs.2.5 crore certainly seems a believable figure. As of now what can be revealed is that Shah Rukh is on for four weeks, Monday to Thursday, and if you calculate it, he is getting Rs 40 crore for 16 episodes. Bring on the superstar who can charge so much even after his last stint o...

The small screen promises some big surprises in the New Year. Shah Rukh Khan makes a comeback in mid-January with Zor Ka Jhatka: Total Wipeout as its omnipresent and forever-jabbering host. What will impress the audience, however, is the scale of this show, which is the Indian version of Wipeout, one of the biggest and most hilarious game show of the world. Several other channels are also planning to woo the viewers with their best in 2011. Mid January will see an Indian version of the controversial UK show Wife Swap, tentatively titled Mother Swap, on Sony TV. However, before we could even get over the much-hyped wedding between reality TV star Rahul Mahajan and Dimpy Ganguly and their public spat, Imagine announced yet another season of the Swayamwar series, Ratan Ka Rishta.

Calcutta: Shah Rukh Khan, principal owner of the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), has declared that he would "certainly push" for one-time icon Sourav Ganguly at the forthcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) auction, but his No.1 man in administration hasn't made a firm commitment. "All options are open... It's impossible for anyone to say for sure what's going to happen on January 8-9... An auction has its own dynamics... Ultimately, it will be a financial decision," Venky Mysore, CEO and MD, told The Telegraph. For the record, KKR had the opportunity to retain Sourav, but decided against doing so, as it would've entailed forking out $1.8 million. Asked if the fan base would take a hit in Sourav's absence, Mysore countered: "Over time, fans attach themselves to a team... By nature, sports franchises are going to see changes in players from time to time... Fans get connected to what a franchise stands ...

MJ Group firm XXX Energy Drinks Limited today said it plans to rope in Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan as the brand ambassador of its products as it embarks on a Rs 100 crore expansion plan by next year.

Now that makes for an interesting pairing as it wasn't too many weeks ago when names like Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone were thrown around. "This would indeed be an interesting development for sure due to many reasons", says an industry insider, "First and foremost Vishal has already worked with Priyanka in two back to back films - KAMINEY and 7 KHOON MAAF . While there is a pro in the form of a comfort factor that has set in between the two, the con comes from the fact that Vishal too may want to work with a new face now."

While shooting on Thursday afternoon SRK learnt that Yashji was present in the studios. SRK went to him and brought him to the sets of his film. SRK felt it needed that 'YRF touch'.

While he does watch serials and other shows on the television, the man is not interested in the show Bigg Boss. SRK feels that his life is more interesting than what goes on in Bigg Boss and moreover, the actor is not too keen on watching someone else's lives voyeuristically. Rather he enjoyed all the three seasons of 'Khatron Ke Khiladi' and still loves to watch the shows like 'Desperate Housewives' and 'Dexter'. Shah Rukh had revealed earlier that he and his kids are avid fans of the original 'Wipeout' and hence is looking forward to host the Indian version of this water based game show.

Priyanka Chopra may have declared herself as SRK's biggest fan, but it seems Bollywood's King Khan dosen't believe in favoritism. Rumor has it that SRK has insisted Vishal Bhardwaj to drop PC and hunt for a fresh face for his adaptation of Chetan Bhagat's '2 States'. The actor who has previously acted in 'Don' (2006), and is currently shooting for 'Don 2' with SRK, was finalized for the lead role in Vishal's film until Shahrukh suggested the director that she might not suit the role.

Shah Rukh Khan does not have a camp of heroines. If you have worked with him in the past, it does not imply that you will feature again in his future projects. Piggy Chops has learnt this the hard way. Despite having worked with King Khan in Don (2006) and now Don 2, Priyanka cannot assume she will act with the superstar in the film version of Chetan Bhagat's novel 2 States. Apparently, King Khan felt that Priyanka would not suit the role of the female lead and that a fresher and younger face would. SRK voiced his opinion to Vishal Bhardwaj, who is directing the film now. Vishal agreed with SRK's idea and soon Piggy was out of the project. The hunt for a fresh face has begun.

It was a rare honour for Bollywood badshan Shah Rukh Khan when Russian president Dmitry Medvedev landed on the sets of 'Ra.One'.

Shah Rukh Khan prefers to lay low instead of hitting back at rude tweeters Shah Rukh Khan has vamoosed from his micro-blogging site for over a month and a half. He last tweeted on his birthday November 2 stating "Birthday with the babies at the shoot in Berlin." And then strangely, went quiet. Considering that the eloquent star was pretty active, his long silence has led to all types of speculation as SRK did not announce that he is taking a sabbatical from Twitter as others do. Withdrawn? Certain sections also feel that he has gone off to avoid any questions pertaining to Tees Maar Khan and Farah Khan. However a source close to the actor pooh-poohs the rumour, "Shah Rukh had been receiving a lot of negative comments lately. He was upset and hurt as a result. And that is why he has withdrawn.

In most of Europe, Bollywood films are living in the shadows and frequently have to deal with stereotypes. I have met quite a few people that say they do not like Indian films due to the 'interrupting' song and dance sequences. However, on enquiry most of them had to admit that they have actually never seen a Bollywood film. One result of this generalisation is the neglect of a variety of very well produced mainstream and independent films from the subcontinent. At least for Germany, things might change soon. This autumn, Shahrukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra and other well known Indian actors came to Berlin to shoot the sequel for the 2006 blockbuster "Don – The Chase Begins Again". After this was announced last summer, it did not take me long to find the local casting agency and eventually, I got booked as an extra for "Don 2".
