  ​ So much attention has been given to the tussle between the makers of OUATIM Dobaara! and Chennai Express that   Shahrukh Khan   himself has decided to clear the air. In an interview with Zoom, the actor has gone on record to say that he has nothing personal with anybody and the day for Chennai Express was shifted by a day because Eid also got shifted. He further says that their film had a booking in advance and they wanted it to run for seven days, post which they would share screen space. He also clarified the clash between the two films saying that it was nothing personal and it's all about business which should be done with all goodness. source: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-interviews/OUATIM-D-controversy-nothing-personal-says-SRK/articleshow/22094385.cms ​

In fact, he told us that he has been curious to see some of the Govindas and that he keeps hearing about our event or watching it on TV," says Sangeeta. Will SRK break the dahi handi? "He said...

Superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who set new benchmarks in Indian cinema with the use of new technology in  Ra.One , says he would love to do  Ra.One  2 , but that could take time as the country lacks trained technicians. He says technology and equipment alone aren't enough to make a technologically high-end film. "We have the latest technology and the equipment, but we lack trained technicians. For  Ra.One , we had hired 50 foreign-trained technicians. I would love to work in  Ra.One 2 , but it's not easy. For a film with a different genre like 'Ra.One', I'll need at least two to three years for preparation," Shah Rukh told  IANS  in an interview. Courtesy: Facebook " Ra.One ", released in 2011, was an ambitious Rs.150-crore ($30 million) project high on world class VFX. It reportedly had 3,500 VFX shots and Shah Rukh had collaborated with Jeffrey Kleiser, co-founder of US-based Synthesian Studios, to supervise the work done by ...

When   Shah Rukh Khan   insisted on having his co-star Deepika Padukone's name appear first on the credits of the recently released Chennai Express, he did manage to break the norm. After his first-of-its-kind initiative in an industry that is considered to be male dominated, he has set an example of sorts for the others too.   Taking lead in following SRK's footsteps is Kannada   actor   Aditya , who has two films up for release shortly. "I have   Sweety - Nanna Jodi   and Rebel   - coming up for release in the next few months and both the films will have the heroine's name appear on the opening credits list before my own," says the actor.   Sweety marks the comeback of Kannada   actress Radhika Kumaraswamy , while Rebel also stars Sanjjanaa.   Ladies first, is what Aditya's saying right now.

​   Gone are the days when Bollywood films running in their silver and golden jubilee weeks would be applauded by critics and fans alike and considered full-blown masterpieces. As the competition to make the cut with the viewers gets intense and collecting Rs 100 crore at the box office emerges as the new benchmark of success for Bollywood projects, the filmmakers have no option but to think of innovative ways to woo the viewers to the cinema halls. Busy deciding strategies to mint hundreds of crores at the box office, filmmakers end up neglecting the script - the vital element of any film. The phenomenal success of ' Chennai Express ' (it has earned Rs.192.85 crore till now) despite its criticism and its ability to dampen the revenue of Ekta Kapoor's 'Once Upon Ay Time In Mumbai Dobaara' is an offshoot of multiple reasons and strategies. Besides releasing 'Chennai Express' in 3,500 screens in the domestic market and 700 screens overseas, the fil...

I thank ZipDial and Twitter India for helping me inaugurate this in...

  ​ A MiD DAY reader was turned away from getting a free ticket as advertised by the production company behind SRK's new film. A genuine case of misunderstanding or eyewash? ​ While Shah Rukh Khan's Chennai Express is hurtling full steam ahead making its way into record books the makers are leaving no stones unturned to promote the film in all possible manner. But what came across our notice yesterday could perhaps cause a slight dent on the hunky-dory picture that the producers are trying to paint of the film's connect with the public. A MiD DAY reader had queued up at a suburban multiplex in Juhu hoping to bag the deal that has been advertised by the makers across all leading newspapers. But much to his dismay, he was only handed out two tickets. The distraught man told us, "When I demanded my third ticket, I was reprimanded for not announcing it loud and clear at the counter that I had specifically come looking for the offer. Why advertise it if they don...
