Shahrukh Khan finally crosses over to Hollywood



Even as Shah Rukh readies to star in Danny Boyle's 'Bombay Velvet' to be directed by Anurag Kashyap, legendary Hollywood screenplay writer Paul Schrader has hinted at casting SRK in his next film with Mumbai's infamous underworld as the backdrop.

According to reports, Schrader, writer of classics like 'Taxi Driver' and 'American Gigolo', has apparently tied up with Mushtaq Shiekh andAnubhav Sinha to make a USD10 million-budgeted cops and mafia film titled 'Xtrme City'.

The film has been announced by David Weisman's 'Vanishing Cinema LLC' in unison with Shiekh and Sinha.

It is believed that SRK has almost given a nod for the same, thanks to his proximity with Mushtaq Shiekh, who did the screenplays of Khan's films like 'Om Shanti Om', 'Billu' and is also working on SRK's under-production sci-fi thriller 'Ra1'.

To be targeted at both domestic and international markets, 'Xtrme City' will be an action thriller set in the "brutal, impenetrable, criminal orbit of Mumbai", say its makers.

"Spending time in India and working with a Bollywood talent like Shiekh has inspired and excited me to make a film accessible and meaningful to both Indian and American cultures," said Schrader in a statement issued to the media. (ANI)

Being SRK: The ultimate reality TV show

It's a job most Indians would die for — shadowing Shah Rukh Khan wherever he goes. For the last two months, that's exactly what a TV crew has been doing, following the country's biggest star from South Africa to America to London to Mumbai — all for the making of a unique six-part series on the actor, to be telecast on lifestyle channel Discovery Travel & Living. "It's an inner world-outer world kind of documentary," said Khan, speaking exclusively to HT. "Hopefully, the parts that people will get to see of me — at work and at other places — will shed some light on how films and film stars work and offer an insight into how I do things."
