Everyone wants a part of Salman Khan. After all, the actor is known to give success after success these days. And Karan Johar is more than keen to work with the Khan.
It can be remembered that Karan Johar tried very hard - and pulled every string he posiibly could - to get Salman on his show 'Koffee with Karan'. Apparently, Salman Khan was not easily persuaded or convinced and remained faraway from both - the coffee and Karan.
Now, Karan Johar, we hear has managed to get Salman to sign on the dotted line for a film he's producing. To be directed by Rensil D'Silva, Salman, we hear, has given a nod to the project and KJo couldn't be happier.
In fact, if sources are to be believed, he's recommending many directors that they sign Salman in the lead roles if they are looking at commercial profits. Wonder how well will this act of KJo's go down with Shah Rukh Khan, who ultimately isn't a part of Karan's 'Student of the Year' film!

Recently on a chat show, India's Hollywood export and Slumdog Millionaire girl Freida Pinto was grilled by hostess on various topics. The movie made Fredia a name to reckon with in H-Town and also gave her an opportunity to attend many award functions. But that was not the only excitement that gave Freida a chill down her spine. Meeting Shah Rukh Khan was also one of those unforgetable moments for the actress who now is in awe of SRK's chivalry.
The actor came to her rescue when she had a wardrobe malfunction at the Golden Globe awards gala. Freida recalls, "I was already nervous due to the magnanimity of the event and it only added after I met Shah Rukh. He was not at all nervous but told me he was nervous just to make me happy. I accidentally stepped on my gown and ripped it. I had to hold it in my hand, which was very uncomfortable. But then Shah Rukh held it for me to put me at ease. He isn't known as King Khan for no reason." Well Jai ho!
Kareena Kapoor is caught in the crossfire between Bollywood's arch rival superstars Salman and Shah Rukh Khan.
Her latest film Bodyguard, co-starring Salman, is slated to be this year's big Eid release when it opens on August 31. Naturally, Salman wants her to be around for the film's promotional activities around the time.
The catch is Kareena will be in Dubai on August 31 because she is already committed to perform at SRK's live show at the emirate state, on the occasion of Eid.
If the buzz in Bollywood is to be believed, Salman is upset with the situation but he has not openly revealed his displeasure.
"August 31 happens to be a Wednesday. Salman has broken the tradition of a Friday release to ensure Bodyguard opens on Eid which will fall either on Wednesday or on Thursday. But if Kareena flies off to Dubai she will miss the final publicity campaign stint, which has become vital for every big-budget film these days," said an industry source.
For Salman, Eid has been very lucky lately. In 2009, his film Wanted released during the Eid weekend and was a superhit. Last year, Dabangg opened during Eid and ended up as the biggest blockbuster of 2010.
"Salman wants to leave no stone unturned for Bodyguard 's success. Kareena's absence could be a problem since it has been primarily pitched as a romantic comedy," the source said.
For Kareena, however, performing in Dubai with SRK is equally important. Her next big release is Ra. One, this year's big Diwali release.
"Dubai happens to be one of SRK's biggest markets. It is important that the he builds up the right hype for Ra. One in Dubai. The live show is meant to kickstart the film's publicity campaign," said the source.
At a recent do that she participated in with Salman, Kareena was asked which Khan she preferred and she promptly replied: "Salman Khan". Salman's retort was blunt. "She is like those smart kids," he said. "You ask the kid who he loves more - papa or mummy - in front of his mother and he says, 'mummy'. In front of the father, he will say, 'papa'."
Katrina Kaif prefers Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan over Ranbir Kapoor

Actress Katrina Kaif has chosen to work with current reigning star Salman Khan and Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan over Ranbir Kapoor.
Katrina had to refuse filmmaker Ayan Mukherjee of ''Wake Up Sid'' fame, a project which is to be produced by Karan Johar, citing unavailability of dates.
Reportedly, Ranbir was part of it.
According to sources, in spite of trying to work dates for close friend Karan''s film , Katrina had to opt out of the film due to prior commitments. Katrina was very keen on working with Karan but could not rework the dates to allot for the film.
Presently, Katrina is working around her schedule with ex-beau Salman''s film, ''Ek Tha Tiger'' and next with Aditya Chopra''s untitled film with Shahrukh.
"Katrina had to turn down the film with Karan and Ayan, both of whom she is very close to. She tried her best to accommodate the dates but it was not possible, since she had already committed to ''Ek Tha Tiger'' and Aditya''s film with Shahrukh. She does however look forward to working with them in the near future," a friend of Katrina said.
Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan are archrivals and who would have thought you could see the two together in this lifetime. But if sources are to be believed, the two Khans may be part of one film. Kanika Dhillon's book - Bombay Duck is a Fish - is being considered by several production companies, and will be made into a motion picture! Having a storyline that can be easily milked to suit cinematic sensibilities, the book revolves around Neki Brar, a girl who quits everything and comes to Bollywood to become a director!
We are told that while Shah Rukh Khan (who launched Kanika Dhillon's book) surely has a role for himself in this one, even the likes of Salman Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone, Kareena Kapoor are going to be part of the film venture. Well, it's interesting to note that Kanika herself was an assistant director and worked in 'Om Shanti Om' with Farah Khan, besides being an integral part of SRK's 'Ra.One'. So, we do understand the Shah Rukh Khan connection, but just how is she going to crack and manage a coup of getting Salman Khan on board is what's to be seen.
PICS - Catch the moustache brigade - Salman Khan, Ajay Devgan, Saif Ali Khan, Aamir Khan, Abhay Deol, Sanjay Dutt and Shahrukh Khan
0 comments Posted by Baserolo at 6:24 PMMooch Ado About Something!
What is common between Chulbul Pandey (Salman Khan) from Dabangg and Bajirao Singham (Ajay Devgan) from Singham; and what will be common among Aamir Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Abhay Deol and Sanjay Dutt?
Well, yes, doubtlessly all of them are male actors (this is the lamest commonality one could have thought of, and if you haven’t, then this is perhaps the lamest discussion we are having); and they are sporting moustaches for their movies.
It is said that “A man without a mustache is like a cup of tea without sugar”, and it looks like the Bollywood actors have taken this quote too seriously and moustache is the new success charm.
After Salman Khan’s moustached Chulbul Pandey created waves, this time it’s Ajay Devgan’s Bajirao Singham who is breaking box office records! However, this is not the first time that a moustached character has tasted success at the marquee. Shahrukh Khan’s Surinder Sahni in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi has witnessed the same fate!
Though Aamir Khan’s Mangal Pandey and Saif Ali Khan’s Tashan were duds at the box office, it looks like they have decided to try their luck again by growing moustaches for their upcoming movies.
Abhay Deol, who is hardly seen experimenting with his looks (no six packs and no jazzy hairstyles), too has joined the moustache brigade with Dibakar Banarjee’s film Shanghai.
Though Salman Khan and Ajay Devgan have won applause and raked in collections, will Saif Ali Khan, Abhay Deol and Aamir Khan, too, hit the jackpot? What do you think? Will growing a moustache help them or is it mooch ado about nothing?
Shahid Kapoor sheds his cute boy tag by growing a moustache in dad’s upcoming film Mausam.
Sanjay has always sported different styles of beards. From his cop role in Mission Kashmir to Mussa Bhai in Luck, Sanjay has carried off all his diverse looks pretty well! Chatur Singh Two Star looks no different!
Be it his stylish moustache in Tashan or his desi moustache in Aarakshan, Saif believes in experimenting.
A rock solid police officer in Singham. Jiski moustache mein hai dum, woh fakht Ajay Devgan.
His Dabangg moustached look has earned him loads of compliments and other stars have started following suit.

Shahrukh Khan turns into an action hero for his upcoming dream project Ra.One. Not only does SRK don a specially designed superhero suit for his role, he also rode this sleek bike.
The superstar posted the image on his Twitter page and wrote: “Always wanted to ride bikes...mom never allowed me. just so that she knows...this one i was tied to with wires so perfectly safe...for a romantic hero i felt quite the dude..ha ha.”
The Ra.One shoot is over and Shahrukh Khan is feeling a sense of emptiness.
He writes on the microblogging site: “Ra.one shoot finally over. we start films so that we complete them fast...but when they finish there is a sense of emptiness as if a difficult but passionate relationship has come to an end. film making is like love....like falling from a building...but not feeling the impact or the hurt till you reach the end. here's to new beginnings...cos endings are just beginnings backwards.”
Ra.One is slated for an October release. The film stars Kareena Kapoor, Arjun Rampal and also has a cameo by Sanjay Dutt and Priyanka Chopra.
Both Sanjay and Priyanka agreed to shoot the cameos even though they had packed schedules, not only that apparently they did not charge any fee! For his part, Shahukh gifted Sanjay Dutt a racing motorcycle costing more than Rs 15 lakhs! He has even gifted Priyanka Chopra an expensive acoustic guitar on her birthday! Quite an impressive way to say thank you!

Sneak Peek - Shahrukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra sizzle in 'Don 2'
0 comments Posted by Baserolo at 9:22 AM‘Don’ Shahrukh romances ‘Roma’ Priyanka | |||||||
| Yet again! The deadly Don is back to his menacing ways and is romancing the beautiful cat-like Priyanka Chopra, because Don ko junglee biliyaan bahut pasand hain. The smashing Shahrukh Khan and Priyanka will scorch up the big screen this December in the much-awaited sequel of the year Don 2. Don’t believe us; just see these images. Shahrukh Khan is reprising his role of the Don and this time he is more powerful, strong, and fierce. SRK fans will see him in two avatars: one in deadly long locks and sporting a D tattoo, and the other as a smart stylish man with glares, suits and cropped hair. Priyanka, too, is back as the sassy Roma. The actress looks drop-dead gorgeous in the film and has done some thrilling action scenes too. Don 2 would begin with Roma. She now knows that it is Vijay who is dead and not Don. Where is Don? He is alive and scheming to settle the scores with his foes and friends who betrayed him. The high-voltage action then begins and you will be driven away to a roller-coaster ride. Don’t miss Shahrukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra's chemistry in Don 2. |
It can’t get bigger than this! Already Ra.One is soaring high on buzz, thanks to the superhero Shahrukh Khan, and now the news of it releasing in 3D. Whoa! that’s enormous.
So, this Diwali be ready to treat your eyes with India’s first superhero flick in 3D. As per reports, the decision to turn the film fully into 3D was taken recently. Earlier, it was said that only some parts of the film will be converted in 3D but now certain action sequences were especially shot in July 2011 to add to the 3D experience.
In one of the scenes you can also see Shahrukh riding a bike from moon to the earth. For this particular part of the film, a futuristic bike was designed for Shahrukh by the art director Sabu Cyril. You can see that breathtaking machine here.
Now, approximately 1200 people are working, that too, for nearly 24 hours on the VFX of Ra.One in India, to ensure that the movie releases on time. After the completion of the shoot Shahrukh turned very emotional and tweeted, “Ra.one shoot finally over. we start films so that we complete them fast...but when they finish there is a sense of emptiness as if a difficult but passionate relationship has come to an end. film making is like love....like falling from a building...but not feeling the impact or the hurt till you reach the end.

The movie also stars Kareena Kapoor and Arjun Rampal in lead roles.

The 45-year-old actor gave a sneak peek of the super-cool bike by posting a photo of it on Twitter.
“About to post the bike we used for the film. Saby Cyril designed it being inspired from some images he got from books,” the King Khan said.
Directed by Anubhav Sinha, 'RA.One', is a science-fiction superhero film starring Shahrukh, Kareena Kapoor and Arjun Rampal in pivotal roles.
Produced under the banner of Khan's Red Chillies Entertainment, the film will release on October 26 this year.
If the people on the zoOm Supernova list, shut shop or moved away, Bollywood as we know it would cease to exist. Or be unrecognizable in the very least.
That's the kind of power they wield over the film industry. Sure, they may not be able to move mountains or walk on water (just yet) but it's amazing what they can accomplish with their star pull. The folks on this list are supernovas in every sense of the term, with the Top 10, holding the clout to change fortunes. Be it numero uno Salman Khan, who made a complete newbie (Sonakshi) a household name with just one film and showed an ex (Katrina Kaif), that managing without him in B-Town would be difficult despite her own meteoric rise or an Aamir Khan, who's widely considered the maai-baap of marketing, Rajinikanth who is a demigod unto himself, for Shah Rukh Khan who may be lower down the order but is the preacher of the power of PR (public relations) and has a stranglehold on the overseas market, they're all masters of the game. It took A R Rahman's awesome music to propel a film like Slumdog Millionaire and an acting veteran like Anil Kapoor into the Hollywood stratosphere. And how can we forget Katrina Kaif, the Sheila who salvaged the initial opening of Tees Maar Khan with her moves in one scorching item number and is the only gal on our top 10. Together, they make the B-Town world go round...

 Shah Rukh Khan along with wife Gauri besides Karan Johar, Arjun Rampal and Mehr Jesia and Shabina Khan were at Sanjay Dutt's home on Sunday night for a private bash. As reported 'Temporary truce' (Hitlist, July 25), Sanju and wife Maanayata hosted a party for SRK and his pals apparently in retaliation for what Salman Khan did at Maanayata's birthday bash last week! This is probably the first time SRK was at Dutt's home. Looks like Sanju is standing by manager Dharam Oberoi, even though he was the bone of contention for Salman. Also notice that Gauri drove the car after the party. Did SRK not want to indulge in drunk driving? |
Red Chillies team along with director Anubhav Sinha, have been working day and night to complete their magnum opus Ra.One, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Kareena Kapoor and Arjun Rampal. With the final days of shooting commencing, there is tons of excitement on set.
Filmfare correspondent Ashwini Deshmukh was lucky enough to be on the sets during filming and in her excitement could not stop herself from tweeting the latest scoop. SRK being the showman that he is was swinging and twirling in mid-air for his various stunt performances, as the crowds of people watching held their breath. Risky business our superstars have to indulge in! Shah Rukh was also seen in a completely different costume from his regular G.One outfit seen on the promotional posters. Hmm, interesting. Wonder what the new look is all about?
Ashwini shared that SRK has an amazing amount of knowledge when brainstorming with director Anubhav Sinha and his team about each forthcoming shot they need to take. SRK advised the team in regards to high-end appliances, gadgets and software that are to be used for shots.
Not only does he have loads of knowledge, but he has some wonderful friends. He thanked Sanjay Dutt and Priyanka Chopra for doing cameos in Ra.One. “3 days of hectic shoot…last 4 days to go. My heartfelt thanks to Sanjay Dutt and Priyanka Chopra for being so wonderful on the sets. Bless you.” And as if that wasn’t thanks enough, he even gifted Sanjay a Ducati bike and Priyanka an acoustic guitar!
Tarun Mansukhani of Dostana directing fame assisted in directing Ra.One. Tarun wanted a break from scripted and was interested in gaining experience working on an action flick. Ra.One director Anubhav Sinha graciously accepted Tarun’s offer to assist when he found out he was interested. Tarun was so excited he tweeted “This time I’m gonna get the stunt team to put me on a rig! I wanna know what its like to flyyyyy like a super hero!” Do we sense a passion for action and adventure?
And the talk of B-Town is the fabulous metallic grey bike G.One rides in certain scenes of the film. As SRK tweeted, it was a “cool futuristic bike” used for a thrilling action sequence. We look forward to seeing it on the big screen!
And of course, the notoriously late Shah Rukh Khan tweeted that he was late arriving to set and that the team of the film is “too patient” with him. He concluded with SRK brand humour, signing off with “have to work before they fire me from the job”. As if there could be a Ra.One without its G.One!
But nothing melted our hearts like this tweet from SRK. “Surrounded by blue cloth. doing jumps not to prove I am a hero but cos I believe i can fly…I believe cos all of you make me believe that.” Too sweet, na?
With Anubhav Sinha tweeting “Another set wrapped today. Moving on to the last set the day after. Been busy, will write in detail after final wrap.” we are certain that fan excitement has shifted into high gear. We cannot wait to see what the Ra.One team has come up with!
Ra.One to release this year on October 26.

Bollywood stars to celebrated the 12th International India Film Academy (IIFA) awards ceremony in Toronto, Canada. Shahrukh Khan was one of the favourites to win, along with Salman Khan blockbuster Debangg.Toronto, Canada, was the host for the 2011 International Indian Film Academy Awards. On Saturday, June 25, 2011 at 8pm, the Rogers Centre in Toronto held the12th IIFA Awards.
The glitzy affair with stars from Bollywood in downtown Toronto meant road closures around the event area. Bollywood fans arrived as early as 7.30am at the Rogers Centre in order to be at the front of the reception to see stars arrive.As the stars descended on the green, the evening received a raptus reception from thousands of fans screaming and shouting to get a glimpse of some of the biggest names in Bollywood.

Looks like the 2011 IIFA Awards were a Dabangg affair and of course SRK didn’t miss out by winning Best Actor. All in all everyone at the event was elated to win or just be there. A great show put together by Wizcraft and Toronto.
Once again IIFA has completed a spectacular show with all the razzmatazz of Bollywood; celebrating a year of exciting, interesting, nostalgic and innovative Indian cinema. This first North American show definitely has opened the doors for brand IIFA and all that comes with it.
While the post award party and Kat's recent birthday celebration shed light on the hidden affair of the titans of Bollywood, Shahrukh Khan and Salman Khan, IIFA 2011 may have some reasons for the clash at the bash! Shah Rukh Khan perfroms at the International Indian Film Academy
Recently held at Toronto, IIFA 2011 Awards have revealed the greatest love affairs and definitely a lesson that 'a friend in need is a friend indeed', and seems like SRK's finale act was just enough to give a perfect icing to the glamorous cake! Seems like in a performance on Dabbang, King Khan expressed his thought on Salman's step in the title song and commented on it saying that it seems like later's pants were quite loose, resulting in one of the funniest step. Almost hitting a score with a mockery on Salman, SRK managed to conquer the battle with a diplomatic statement on how Arbaaz-Mallaika make for the most adorable couple in the industry.
Seems like King Khan is using his wit to impress some old friends of the industry, the question remains unanswered as Salman remains unapproachable.
The latest celebrity to be held by custom officials is none other than King Khan himself.
He joins the growing list of Bollywood celebrities who have been held up at the airport by custom officials.
Shah Rukh was detained at the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport when the custom officers grew suspicious of the excess baggage that accompanied SRK and his family back from a vacation in Holland and London. He was stopped for further interrogation while his family was allowed to leave the airport.
Later he was allowed to leave after paying Rs. 1.5 lakhs as a fine for his excess of 20 bags. Though the sum might be a small amount for SRK, it sure is quite an amount for an ordinary man returning from his vacation.
Earlier, Bipasha Basu was also faced with a similar situation and was detained at the Mumbai airport on her return from London, owing to excess baggage.
She too was let off only after paying off Rs. 12,000 as tax against the goods that she had brought along.
There have been several Bollywood stars who have come under the Customs scanner before and have had to go through a tough ordeal.
Meanwhile Shah Rukh has also been in the news for showering expensive gifts upon his friends. While he gifted Sanjay Dutt a custom-made cruiser motorcycle imported from Italy and a designer watch, he also gave Priyanka Chopra a limited edtion acoustic guitar as her birthday gift. SRK definitely seems to be on a spending spree, either by will or because of the law.
Shah Rukh Khan's long hair, unshaven look for Don 2 may be the most anticipated look in Bollywood this year, but the actor isn't fond of it and his wife Gauri Khan hates it. SRK has had to sport the look for the last six months, shooting for the sequel in Malaysia. When he returned to Delhi mid way to attend a wedding in the family, Gauri asked him to get rid of the look. Gauri, reportedly asked Khan to complete the rest of the schedule with a wig.
However, despite hating the look, Khan refused to visit the barber. Ritesh Sidhwani, co-producer of Don 2, said, "When he went to Delhi, he was asked about the long hair and the stubble. But Shah Rukh remained unfazed. He wanted to stay in character throughout."
Respite, however, came in the form of son Aryan. Farhan Akhtar, the director of the film whose wife Adhuna Akhtar conceptualised Khan's look, recalled, "It wasn't easy to keep that look in the Malaysian humidity. But Shah Rukh told me, his son had said after seeing the look, 'Now, that's what a don should look like'."
According to Akhtar, he wanted Don to be re-introduced in a new avatar, something that suggested that he'd been taking it easy and biding his time to make the next big move.
According to a source, SRK wanted his anti-hero act in Don 2 to provide a sharp contrast to his superhero role in Ra.One. All the characters in Don 2 are the same as with the original film, except for two additions ? Kunal Kapoor and Lara Dutta. Khan reportedly spent several weeks with makeup professionals and stylists to get the right look.
However, despite hating the look, Khan refused to visit the barber. Ritesh Sidhwani, co-producer of Don 2, said, "When he went to Delhi, he was asked about the long hair and the stubble. But Shah Rukh remained unfazed. He wanted to stay in character throughout."

New Delhi, July 16 (IANS) After a break in Los Angeles, Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra is heading back home to celebrate her 29th birthday with her family, post the Mumbai blasts.
'Heading home..LA's been amazing...but looking forward to seeing my family... my dad n my brother esp with everything that's happening wanna b home (sic),' Priyanka posted on her Twitter page.
She flew to Los Angeles straight from the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) weekend and awards ceremony in Toronto last month.
The National Award winning actress has a lot to look forward to this year. She has a line-up of films, including 'Don 2: The Chase Continues', the 'Agneepath' remake, 'Barfee', 'Krrish 2' and Kunal Kohli's next with Shahid Kapoor.
Priyanka has also signed up for a cameo in Shah Rukh Khan's mega-budget 'RA.One'. She seems to be on a roll!
Mumbai: If Superman can fly, Batman has the state of the art gadgets and Spiderman web-slings through air, can our desi super hero be left behind? News has it that SRK will soon be sporting a bike similar to Batman’s batpod in desi superhero flick ‘RA.One.’
Apparently, SRK has decided to go for batpod-like superbike in one of the high octane action sequences in ‘RA.One,’ which will be shot at Filmistan Studios, Goregaon.
Talking to a daily, a source said, “SRK will be doing a rescue act in the scene, which also requires him to indulge in some real adrenaline pumping stunts.”
It is believed that Shah Rukh Khan will do the stunt without a body double. “Shah Rukh is not particularly fond of bikes himself. In fact, every time director Anubhav Sinha suggested that he bought one, Khan just refused saying there is no use for a bike,” added the source.
While SRK is busy holidaying in London with his family, director Anubhav Sinha is busy preparing the sets for the shoot. Anaita Shroff Adajania will be working on SRK’s outfit for the special scene.
Actor Katrina Kaif is striking a perfect balance by being close to both the Khans —Salman and Shah Rukh. Kat, who celebrated her 27th birthday on Saturday, first met Salman on the sets of his film Bodyguard in Mumbai and later attended a surprise birthday bash organised by Shah Rukh.
“Katrina arrived at the sets in Bandra around 12am and Salman reached around 12.30am. Some members of his family were at the venue when Kat arrived and everyone welcomed her warmly,” says an eyewitness.
Among those present were actor Mini Mathur with husband and filmmaker Kabir Khan. Sallu’s sister Alvera Khan was there with husband Atul Agnihotri. “Salman looked very happy to be there. Clearly, they are very important to each other and enjoy each other’s company,” the source added.
Kat spent a long time with Salman and reached SRK’s house, Mannat, only at 5am. According to sources, the party was meant to be a success bash for the Katrina-Hrithik Roshan starrer Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and later turned into a birthday party, where Kat even cut a cake. It may be recalled that three years ago, Salman and SRK had a huge fight on Kat’s birthday and ever since the actor chose to stay away from Mumbai on her birthday. However, this time she decided to stick around and play the diplomat.
A controversy has ensued nevertheless and SRK is now under heavy criticism for hosting a party just two days after the serial blasts in Mumbai.
