Mexican Barbara, who arrived in Mumbai before 10 days for promotion of 'Kites' movie and staying in Juhu with her bro Kintaro Mori , had a surprise party given in her honor by Shah Rukh last Sunday. The Roshans have been more than hospitable to their movie's leading female in Mumbai and have taken her on shopping extravaganza and dinners.

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is down with fever and cold. The actor-producer, who is not shooting for his home production Ra.One but handling the production activities, however, did not lose his sense of humour despite being numb with cold. He wrote on his Twitter account from the film sets, "strange v call cold a cold, while the body is warm". Explaining his condition, he wrote, "words are floating and melting as i touch them with the heat & cold." He wrote: "have to stop. writing feverishly.must be getting delirious.doc waiting with injection. must take a shot as i have a shoot tom. love u all." SRK informed that his new film, which also stars Kareena Kapoor and Arjun Rampal, will take some time a bit to hit the screens. "Visual effects take very long in post production," Shah Rukh wrote.

Farah Khan had surprised many by casting Akshay Kumar in 'Tees Maar Khan' instead of favourite Shah Rukh Khan but the director says contrary to rumours her friendship with King Khan continues to be strong. "So many things have been written since Akshay's name was announced. People do enjoy such things. I guess it is more entertaining. But there is nothing wrong with our friendship. I will remain Shah Rukh's friend till I die and I hope this is the case with him as well," Farah told PTI in an interview. The choreographer-turned-director, who returns behind the camera after a gap of almost three years for 'Tees Maar Khan', says she could not wait for a year to start the movie with Shah Rukh being busy with home production 'Ra.One'.

Shahrukh Khan on Ra.1: SRK throws light into forthcoming venture Ra.One. King Khan has busied himself in his home production Ra.One Besides shooting he is also working in production as his friend and Red Chillies CEO Bobby Chawla has hospitalized after suffering from brain hemorrhage.            On 4th April, Bobby Chawla was admitted to the suburban hospital, when his condition becomes critical. According the source "SRK is mainly taking care of our four jobs. Calling up every actor of Ra.One and coordinating their dates, discussing their remuneration, making sure that they get their payments on time and talking to technicians (including those coming from abroad) for every single production detail including the special effects involved in the film".

Bollywood actor Shahrukh Khan who has always seen in cool and calm characters in his films will now be seen flying as a super hero. SRK's home production Ra.1 that talks about gizmos and gadgets has always been guessed for its title's meaning. Finally it has been revealed by the actor himself that the title Ra.1 is the acronym for 'Random Access-Version One'. SRK tweeted on his blog, "Ra.1 means random access version one, will understand when u see the film. Ra.1 site will be up soon/have no film with Kajol or Yashji right now/don't dance too well, I just try hard/I am the hero in Ra.1." While his friend and CEO of Red Chillies Entertainment- Bobby Chawla is still hospitalized, SRK needs to manage acting as well as production work. SRK further tweets, "Yes…wish Bobby my friend gets well sooner than soon. He is still in the hospital & the film is so difficult in terms of production." Shah Rukh has dedicated this film to his lovely children

With Bobby Chawla's illness disrupting shooting, he takes over all the grunt work to ensure shooting continues and one else is overburdened   Shah Rukh Khan is definitely missing his friend Bobby Chawla, but he is doing all he can to ensure Bobby's illness does not burden the rest of Ra.One's team. Instead of thrusting Bobby's duties on someone else from his team, Shah Rukh has now decided to take on the majority share of Bobby's duties, with director Anubhav Sinha helping out whenever he can. He has taken up the active duties of producer, even calling up the other actors and coordinating their dates, making sure their fee reaches them as decided, discussing the necessary details with the foreign and Indian technicians and then doing his scenes too. Shah Rukh's friend and Juhi's brother Bobby Chawla, who is the CEO of Red Chillies Entertainment, was supposed to handle the duties of the producer. That way, Shah Rukh had to only concentrate on his

The actor wrote on his Twitter micro-blog on April 29, "Very tired and in pain. Have to get up and do some solid physio… work out. Painkillers are making me sleepy." SRK even candidly admitted to his smoking habit, "Started to smoke when I was 27 (years old). Yes, want to give up smoking, but then we don't always get what we want. Ha ha!" The Bollywood superstar also revealed the meaning of his film's title, " Ra. One is Random Access Version One, (you) will understand when you see the film."

Bollywood presenter-turned-director Sajid Khan doesn't deny his dream project is to get Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay Kumar together in the lead for a film but only when he has the right script. "The day I have a script that can carry both Akshay Kumar and Shah Rukh Khan (in the lead), I'll come out with it. Both are superstars and who wouldn't like to work with both of them in their film," said Sajid. "I adore Shah Rukh as a fan and Akshay is my brother. But it will take a lot of time as I will write my next script in six months and then approach them... so it's a lengthy process as of now," he added. Akshay also said the same. "These things take time. He will first write the script that will take time and then approach us and then we'll give out the dates. So it's at least more than a year-and-half away even if everything falls in place," said the actor. Shah Rukh and Akshay have been seen earlier in Dil Toh Pagal Hai and Heyy Babyy

The past few days have made it amply evident that Shah Rukh Khan believes that the show must go on. Despite being very upset after his close associate, Red Chillies CEO Bobby Chawla (Juhi Chawla's brother), was admitted to a suburban hospital on April 4 after suffering a brain hemorrhage, SRK has decided to take care of every little thing in his production house. Since Bobby Chawla's hospitalisation has thrown the entire shooting schedule of Ra.One in a complete mess, Shah Rukh has decided to lead from the front to ensure that everything is quickly put back on track. "A few of Bobby Chawla's duties have been taken up by Ra.One director Anubhav Sinha too, but it is Shah Rukh who is now holding the reins of Ra.One," says a source close to the film. Commenting on what exactly Shah Rukh is doing to get things back on track, the source says that Shah Rukh has taken up all duties which were earlier being handled by Bobby Chawla.

for a man who attempted to make a different film with My Name Is Khan, Karan Johar is contemplating a light subject next. His next directorial venture will be a far cry from the heavy-duty My Name Is Khan. Karan has left for New York to mull over it. A source says, "Karan will use some time in the US to start writing this film." And of course, his best friend Shah Rukh Khan will be a part of it. Confirming that, Karan says, "I will never make a film without Shah Rukh. He is the most important part of my life." Talking about his next film, Karan said, "I have had enough of heavy-duty filmmaking for now. I want to make a fresh, funny film. In fact, I am feeling very light-hearted these days." Is he going back to his original forte, films like Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham or Kal Ho Naa Ho? "Not really. It's time to move on. I am not a person who looks back. Those films happened many years ago," he quipped. Karan also said that he is ver

This year is likely to see the release of two big films with similar sounding titles. Yes...we are indeed referring to Mani Ratnam's Raavan and Shah Rukh Khan's home production Ra.One . However, the two similar sounding films are as different as chalk and cheese when it comes to their plotlines. While Mani's Abhi-Ash starrer is a modern-day adaptation of the mythological epic Ramayan, SRK's flick is a highly stylized film with a lot of gizmos and gadgets. Coming to Ra.One , while it is known that SRK plays a super-hero kind of character in the film, what is not known is the fact that the title Ra.One is the acronym for 'Random Access-Version One'. This fact has been confirmed by the Superstar himself on Twitter. Says SRK, " Ra.One means Random Access- Version One, u will understand when u see the film. The Superhero is called G.One. Ra.One site will be up soon." Meanwhile with his close friend and CEO of Red Chillies Entertainment- Bobby Chawl

But now he's back from the 'Ra.One' shoot to do some 'earthly chores' Shah Rukh Khan's been quite on the Twitter from these past few days. Ever since he tweeted about the IPL controversy being fast and furious like T20 we haven't heard much from SRK. But now he's back and telling us what he's been doing. And it sounds like he was on an adventure. "Sorry been out of touch...kinda hard typing when hanging 40 feet in the air. finally over...nice to have my feet back on the ground." 40 feet in the air? We're thinking this was one of those superhero stunts for 'Ra.One'. And by the way, the picture you see here is the first look from the film, posted by SRK himself. Shah Rukh added later, "Why all this...the jumps..the flying...the risks. is it to prove something...no.i do it cos i believe i can fly. u all made me believe it so." But the star was truly back on the ground when he posted this, "have to r

It seems KJO urf Karan Johar has had enough of those heavy duty social films. Though his MNIK has turned out to be the biggest Bollywood hit in overseas, the director now wants to make something cool, refreshing and funny. Hmmmmm that sounds like Karan is all set to revisit his KKHH days. When asked who will be the actor, pat came the reply, "I cannot imagine a film without SRK, he is the best." We all know that Karan and SRK probably has his biggest admirer in Karan. It's not clear when will Karan announce his next bubble gum romancer but the animated version of 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' titled 'Koochie Koochie Hota Hai' release is on cards.

Karan Johar's great admiration for Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is well known. The director just can't do away with him. KJo has been so vocal about his admiration for SRK that insiders sense something more in their relationship than normal friendship. Recently, while talking about his new film to a news daily, the director went a little overboard when he was asked about the leading man in his next film, "I will never make a film without Shah Rukh. He is the most important part of my life." Talking about his next film, Karan said, "I have had enough of heavy-duty filmmaking for now. I want to make a fresh, funny film. In fact, I am feeling very light-hearted these days." The director also said that he is undecided about the heroine of his next project. "I don't know when it will be ready. It could be six months or even a couple of years. I'll come back and decide," Karan added. Karan also stated that he is happy with the way his f

We have seen him in romantic, action and comic roles but with 'Ra.One' it's for the first time that he is going to get into a superhero's garb. Shah Rukh who was completely kicked about his first superhero film, isn't finding shooting for the same easy or interesting. After a killing back pain and a shoulder surgery, SRK is now down with knee pain, thanks to his dangerous stunts in 'Ra.One'. It is believed that Shah Rukh's Kolkata Knight Riders' physiotherapist Andrew Leipus has been treating his knee. Needless to say, his health problems don't admit an adrenaline rush into our 45 years old hero. Speaking about his action scenes woes Shah Rukh quipped, "Every part of my anatomy hurts. Action does speak much louder than words and it says Ouch and Ooh." He further explains that being a superhero onscreen is equally difficult off-screen. "I may soon lose my job as a lover if fighting comes into vogue. Somebody stop it and sta

Shah Rukh Khan, who attended the IPL Awards ceremony last Friday after much cajoling from the organizers and sponsors, reportedly walked out of the event before the final act because cricketer Yuvraj Singh's joke onstage offended him. According to a source familiar with the incident, "SRK teased Yuvi about his female fan following and said they only stuck to him because of his Casanova image." "Yuvi retaliated by saying that women ran after him (and not Khan) because he was stuck to Karan. There was a hush in the audience at this comment but Shahrukh being a good sport, handled the situation well. But he made his displeasure known backstage and staged a walkout," added the source. The final act at the event required all the IPL team owners to be present on the stage with their respective teams but SRK was nowhere to be found. SRK left early because of work commitments? However, when SRK was contacted and asked about the reason for his early visit, the

SRK tweeted his support for beleaguered IPL commissioner Lalit Modi.  Fast, furious and too much noise. like the T20 itself. hope it gets resolved as fast too for our friend lalit and franchisees(sic)," SRK said on Twitter.

He jokingly said: "Every part of my anatomy hurts. Actions do speak much louder than words and they says (sic) OUCH and OOH." People have also been pestering him on Twitter to post some pictures of the Anubhav Sinha film, and he finally gave in, uploading one image from the movie.

"Every part of my anatomy hurts...action does speak much louder than words...& it says OUCH & OOH," SRK tweeted after a day's shoot recently. Describing the experience of shooting the risky action sequences, he wrote: "Hanging on cables...bruises..heat..dust...sweaty ppl (people) all around...i love the glamourous world of films."

The teleprompter showed what Shah Rukh Khan was supposed to say next — "Picture abhi baki hai mere dost, abhi Lalit aur BCCI ke beech ek friendly match bacha hai." But SRK, known for changing the script to match the mood, gave these lines a miss at the IPL awards night on Friday. Wisely. And that is how the tone for the big night of IPL Season III was set. What started with a blitzkrieg, marking the marriage of cricket with glamour, tapered to a finish that's bound to keep tongues wagging long after the controversy dies down. At the IPL awards night, which, in the past seasons, has been marked by the presence of the creme de la creme of the sports and entertainment world, it was time for reading between the lines, decoding body language, looking for the tiny snickers and keeping a ear cocked for the explosive silences. Missing in action were Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni and Mukesh Ambani. Mukesh's wife Nita, however, was there. The BCCI hotshots had earlier

If the name Alan Edward Bell doesn't ring a 'bell' in your mind, then, let us tell you that, he is the same man who is responsible for the crisp editing of 500 Days Of Summer . And it is going to be this man who will very soon be the talk of the nation (or is that 'globe'?), as he is the man responsible for 'taming the hurricane'. For the uninitiated, we are talking about the climax of Karan Johar's My Name Is Khan wherein the characters get stranded due to a hurricane.

But, for its US release, KJo has let Bell's hands to do the talking (read 'snipping').

Looks like Shah Rukh Khan's many Twitter posts underlining his disappointment with his IPL team, Kolkata Knight Riders' performance finally had some effect on the players. At the match played in Kolkata today, SRK's team scored a comfortable win over Shilpa Shetty's Rajasthan Royals. The Knight Riders restricted the Royals to just 132 runs, and then reached 133 with a spectacular innings from captain Sourav Ganguly. This result means that Shilpa's Royals are out of the semi-finals race now. Meanwhile, the Kolkata Knight Riders still have an outside chance to make it to the final four of IPL 2010. And Shah Rukh was there to enjoy the victory today (and the hope for a future semi-final spot) with wife Gauri, kids Aryan and Suhana, and friends Arjun and Mehr Rampal, Sussanne Roshan, Bhavna Pandey (Chunky Pandey's wife), Sanjay and Maheep Kapoor, and Neelam.

In a phone interview from Mumbai, Samar says the show took a year of "awful hard work" and that Shah Rukh, whom he had known for some 15 years and whom he calls his good luck charm, took some "convincing" to do it. "We were shooting over 40 days in a year," says Samar, "and he understood the camera could get intrusive at times." It helped of course that the show was co-produced by Shah Rukh's own company, Red Chillies Entertainment. But, "

Karan Johar is making good use of a second opportunity to release My Name Is Khan. The pre-climactic hurricane sequences from My Name Is Khan, which were most coldly received by critics and the audience, have now been omitted from the film by well-known American film editor Alan Edward Bell. As a result, the new (and improved?) version is shorter by 35 minutes for its American release on May 7. The ever-candid Karan Johar now admits that the much-criticised hurricane sequences , supposedly located in the Wilhelmina town in the Georgia district of the US, actually shot at Film City in Mumbai, were not up to the mark. Karan says, "I knew all along that the hurricane scenes didn't quite work. But sometimes, one goes along with one's vision, sees it to the end and hopes it would all finally smoothen itself out.
