A Tale of Two Superheroes: SRK and Rajini



Shahrukh Khan and Rajinikanth: Everyone who keeps an eye on Bollywood websites or print columns knows that South Indian director Shankar had approached Shah Rukh Khan to play the lead role in ‘Robot’. The Baadshah of Bollywood was much interested in playing the superhero and he was also keen to work with this ace director. But somehow things didn’t fall in place and Shankar abandoned SRK. He went back to Chennai and signed up the biggest star of them all, Rajinikanth. The astounding success of ‘Robot’ in all the languages that is was dubbed in only goes to see just how much meat was there in the script.
Shah Rukh didn’t waste time pondering over what he lost out on. He quickly decided to make his own superhero flick, ‘Ra One’. Director Anubhav Sinha came on board and they shot extensively for the movie to eye a release in November 2011. The movie will have state-of-the-art graphics and action. Shah Rukh is leaving nothing to chance. He’s got the international music composer Hans Zimmer to do the background score for ‘Ra One’. Hans has done some amazing work in films like ‘The Dark Knight’ and ‘Inception’. SRK has also got Akon to do a song for the movie.But being a suave marketing person, Shah Rukh couldn’t resist watching ‘Robot’ to find out what worked for the film. He decided to spend an additional Rs. 3 crores to shoot a train sequence like the one in ‘Robot’, except that he’s making sure that they don’t look similar. He’s conducted brainstorming sessions with his team on this. Shah Rukh also has a score to settle with his rival in Bollywood, Aamir Khan and his bĂȘte noir Salman Khan. Both have surged ahead in popularity with ‘3 Idiots’ and ‘Dabangg’. The winter of 2011 will belong to King Khan, what say?

Karan Johar completely broke down when SRK started speaking about his former friends Farah Khan and Salman Khan. The episode of Koffee with Karan will air on January 2.
A source on the sets says, “SRK’s episode with KJo is emotional where Shahrukh Khan has been caught in a mellow, introspective mood. He is emotionally vulnerable, revelaing things that have hurt him in the last year.”
The source continued to add, “When Karan pointed out people feel that old friends Farah Khan and Salman have problems with Shahrukh Khan, SRK said, ‘I don’t know how to make friends and if I did and I have no clue how to keep them. If Salman and Farah are upset with me then it is 100 percent my fault, but I can’t pick up the phone and say sorry. I cannot apologize because I have ego issues, but because I cannot say get myself to ask people to come back to me. Once I did ask my parents to come back to me and they did not.”
He also admitted that one of his biggest enemies is his cell phone as many of his friends have complained that he does not take their calls and ignores them. At one point Karan had tears in his eyes when SRK said, “I feel it is understood that I love them if I have said it once, I cannot keep repeating it. I have some problem in saying ‘I Love You’ twice and thrice and keep repeating those words. Even in my movies I can never keep saying ‘I Love You!’”
KJo said, “It was totally a different cup of coffee this time. it is really awkward to discuss and recreate all those intimate scenes normally again. Till date I have never become emotional on the sets of Koffee with Karan, because that has never been the tone of the show. It is usually controversial and spicy.”
When asked about SRK on the couch he says, “SRK is one of the warmest human beings I have seen in this industry, he has spoken openly about his family, friends and relationships. There is some strength in what he said. He is beyond any kind of issues. You can feel that he has risen above every situation and this comes beautifully through this show. This coffee on the couch episodewith SRK was emotionally unplugged and more than humor unplugged. It has a new impact!”

Saif makes Deepika comfortable

Saif makes Deepika comfortable…

Deepika Padukone

Prakash Jha’s next film Aarakshan, will have Deepika Padukone playing the lead. She has started working on the film. The actress was very nervous about the shoot as this is her first film with the director.
Deepy was in Bhopal, shooting at a college, when she suddenly had a nervous break down on looking at the crowd. After seeing the crowd of hundreds gathered at the college campus, she literally fainted.
A source reveals, “Bhopal is foreign territory for Deepika. She hasn’t shot for a film in the city before. Also, working with Jha was a first-time experience for her. His style of working is very different from the directors she’s worked with in the past.”
The source adds, “DP reached the production area, which was in the backyard of the college. Not many students had come in. The crowd was just about trickling in. In matter of couple of hours, the place was packed with students and everyone had gathered to see her shoot.”
Since her character is that of a college girl she was required to shoot at various places in the campus. However, things got better when Saif joined the shoot in the second half of the day.
“Deepika was much more comfortable when Saif came on set. He made her feel relaxed and put her at ease. She was also surprised at what kind of a hold Jha had on the crowd. Despite the fact that there were hundreds of students around, every time he would say action there would be pin drop silence on the set.”
By the end of the day Deepika got comfortable with the college crowd and even interacted with the students, promising to return to their campus once their shoot ends.

Aishwarya Rai on Vogue Feb 2011 edition..

Aishwarya Rai

The cover of the February issue of Vogue India is quite eye grabbing. It has Aishwarya Rai dressed as a raven, ready to take flight.
Vogue has quite innovatively come up with a cover that will sure catch people’s attention. It has Aishwarya Rai, clad in a figure hugging black dress, with raven feathers adorning her shoulders.
What’s also curious to note is her pose: arms akimbo, and palms resting assuredly on that perfect waist; her auburn hair hanging down and she staring at the camera through those mesmeric hazel eyes.
Like the cover???
