  ​ 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 ​

​Shah Rukh Khan's dialogue, 'Don't underestimate the power of a common man' in Chennai Express, has already caught on with the masses. We hear SRK has agreed to be a part of the Janmashtami celebrations tomorrow at Jambori Maidan, Worli, which is expected to be attended by lakhs of people from all over the state. The annual event — Worli Chi Dahi Handi — is organised by Sachin and Sangeeta Ahir of Shree Sankalp Pratisthan Charitable Trust. "We've had many celebrities attending our dahi handi in the past, but this time we wanted the ultimate Bollywood Badshah. We were a bit apprehensive while approaching him, but were surprised when he agreed instantly. He knew all about our dahi handi and also about the humongous presence of aam janta that will be there. 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

Bollywood star  Shahrukh Khan  often tells his daughter Suhana that if she decides to have a boyfriend and date someone, he should be like him. As a husband and father, Shahrukh Khan has the positive image of family man. "I am a good man to love. I am very decent, loving, educated and caring. I would tell my daughter, that if she was to find a boyfriend, apart from my anger sometimes, she must find a boyfriend like me," the superstar said. "If I can say this to my daughter, then I can say this to every girl," added the 47-year-old, whose portrayal of romantic heroes in films like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Dil To Pagal Hai and Kal Ho Naa Ho, have given several girls their idea of a perfect man. Riding high on the success of his latest blockbuster Chennai Express, SRK finally took out some time for rest here Friday. "Dedicated the day for rehab of shoulder, mind and heart. Been pushing all three too hard," Shahrukh posted on Twitter. S

Now that his Chennai Express has safely journeyed the box-office, Shah Rukh Khan is looking forward to savouring some sweet moments at home with his newborn AbRam, before getting headlong into the shooting for his next film Happy New Year next month.   Time tales Khan — who became dad for the third time in May this year admits that he has hardly got to spend any time with AbRam because of health issues but he shares that the premature infant's health is improving with each passing day.

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

  ​SRK-Deepika starrer Chennai Express is speeding ahead with all its vigour. After making fastest R 100 cr at the box office, the film has now smashed into R 200 cr club, and yes it's the fastest entrant so far. While John Abraham's Madras Cafe is set to release on Friday, the 'Hit' Express is not in a mood to stop its success run at the BO. The film collected R 200 crore in 2 weeks.

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.

​   Shah Rukh Khan's   Chennai Express   has been smashing box office records since its release on August 9. The movie had collected a whopping Rs 67.92 cr in just 2 days of its release and then crossed the Rs 100 crore mark in the opening weekend itself.

​   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

Shah Rukh Khan is going out of his way to spread cheer for his fans'. Or rather have them cheering for him. The actor's enabled his fans to follow his tweets by sending a text message to 09015500555. The initiative is a collaboration between Twitter India and ZipDial. Trust SRK to be the first Indian celeb to allow his fans to dial and follow him on Twitter. And this feature is available to those even without a Twitter account. What a way for the actor to cast his net, err… spell far and wide. And he has been in a very happy place since Chennai Express did exceedingly well at the box office. According to a source, Shah Rukh said, "I have always believed in the power of technology and use it in various ways to further my connection with my audience. In recent years, Twitter has been a magical place for me to engage with my fans. I hope all my fans in India will avail this new service to connect with me. 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'
