Shah Rukh Khan becomes INTERPOL Turn Back Crime Ambassador (Interpol)

LYON, France - Internationally renowned Indian actor Shah Rukh Khan has agreed to become an Ambassador for INTERPOL's Turn Back Crime campaign to promote greater awareness of how each of us can have a role in preventing crime. The multi-award winning actor, the first Indian to be made an Ambassador for the global campaign, is lending his voice to help spread the message that all of society benefits when citizens respect the law and fight crime. "It's a very special honour to be a part of INTERPOL's Turn Back Crime Campaign as an Ambassador. As Mahatma Gandhi once said, 'I shall not fear anyone on Earth. I shall fear only God. I shall not bear ill will toward anyone. I shall not submit to injustice from anyone. I shall conquer untruth by truth. And in resisting untruth, I shall put up with all suffering, if I have to.'. We all should believe in this maxim and in whatever way possible resolve not to let unjust people who might threaten us with crimina

SRK's 'Happy New Year' creates history

When it comes to digital and marketing innovations for films, SRK's Red Chillies Entertainments Pvt Ltd has always been at the top of the game.

Shah Rukh Khan’s Happy New Year to compete with Rekha’s Super Nani!

Farah Khan's  Happy New Year   was going to have a really Happy Diwali, as it was slated to be the solo release on Diwali this year.

SRK’s Happy New Year: The Inside Story

If you thought that director Farah Khan's Happy New Year   will be just another big-budget time pass movie-watching experience, you've got it dead wrong. Here is the real story.   For one, Farah in her efforts to create the perfect masala mix has borrowed liberally from each and every director right from Sanjay Bhansali to Prabhu Dheva. But her chief inspiration is Steven Soderbergh's Ocean's Trilogy, although Farah has insisted that "she has lifted but not in the Hitch-Partner sort of way." The director's other inspiration is the body of her previous work,   Tees Maar Khan   included.   At the end of the trailer, SRK's character Charlie says, " Picture abhi baaki hai mere dost ." That is an interesting hint, the fact being that Deepika Padukone who plays a dancer named Mohini (what an imaginative name) will also make a ghost appearance like she did in Om Shanti Om . The story of a heist, her character of a ghost will do all t

Shooting for Shah Rukh Khan's next film 'Raees' yet to begin

'Raees' starring Shah Rukh Khan and Farhan Akhtar will go on floors very soon as the film crew is busy deciding shooting spots for the film. Few days back, director Rahul Dholkaia was spotted at Ramoji Film city for the same.
