Now this is the story of the day. Guess what? Shah Rukh Khan has gone where no Hindi film actors have gone before. The trade reports coming in from Kerala have it that SRK’s Om Shanti Om has been doing roaring business in Kerala. In fact, it has done better business than their local films released during the same time. King Khan is a big hit down south too. Mind it!

We want to put together a winning combination, for which I would definitely seek advice of the experts.”

Shahrukh has now already started making plans for his team. SRK has decided to give his Kolkata team a new look with designer uniforms designed by her favorite designer Anahita Shroff. He has also appointed Vishal-Shekhar to compose a song which has a lot of punch and a winner attitude.

Vishal confirms the news saying “Yes, we met Mr. Khan recently. We have been given about a month’s time to get a tune ready for his IPL team. We’ve been told that the tune should be one that represents a winner.”

And now the actor Akshay Kumar refused choreographer turned director Ganesh Acharya, when he approached him for an item number in his film –“Money hain Tho Honey hain”. While Akshay was busy finishing the shooting schedule of his film Singh is Kinng , Ganesh Acharya visited the sets and asked him to do an item number in Money Hain Tho Honey Hain”

Akshay-Singh-Is-King..

Akshay the money maker who wanted his price, asked the director to fix a meeting with the producer Kumar Mangat if they wanted him to do a item number. Actor is said to have quoted 1.5 crore for this number.

Akshay, whose 3 films earned around 730 crores for the bollywood industry in 2007,is said to be in peak of his career and is demanding a whooping 20 crore fo each film . And for just an item number his quote of 1.5 crore seems to be worthy…

Shahrukh-Khan-French-Award

Being a versatile actor Shah Rukh Khan has played a variety of characters, but has been most popular in romantic roles. Everyone, including the directors and the audience are aware of this and they know how effectively King Khan can express love through his telling eyes. What is, however, significant is that despite acting in numerous romantic films, Shah Rukh has never done a kissing scene!

It is not that King Khan was never offered a kissing scene, but the fact remains that our Bollywood icon cannot endure witnessing him kissing on screen. However, it seems that it is time that Shah Rukh will break the legacy as he has himself confessed recently that he is so influenced by French kiss, that he cannot express it in words. Believe it or not, Shah Rukh says that during his childhood days he used to secretly watch French films just to see those exciting and intimate French kisses! In those days itself, our Bollywood icon had decided to learn the art of French kissing some day or the other.

King Khan humbly says that while he has managed to master the art of acting to a certain extent, he is yet to learn the art of French kissing. Although it’s entirely a personal affair to know on whom he has practiced the art of French kissing, we presume it must be his better half Gauri.

Shahrukh-Gauri

Shah Rukh is keen to experiment new roles each time and so, we are of the opinion that there is nothing to be surprised if someday we see him plant a French kiss on screen on any of his heroines. Now who can have any objection if King Khan breaks the rules he has set for himself? Now the question is whether King Khan will plant the French kiss on his heroine with the same passion that he expresses his love through his eyes for his leading ladies on screen.

Shahrukh-Deepika-Arjun-Om-Shanti-Om

Bollywood stunner Deepika Padukone has made a frank confession about her Om Shanti Om co-star Shah Rukh Khan .

In an interview with BBC, Deepika spoke about her experience of working with Shah Rukh and Arjun Rampal in the Farah Khan directed blockbuster.

Deepika

"While I wasn’t part of the ’Dard-e-Disco’ song, we all knew that Shah Rukh was working hard on his body. I was there for the filming as I wanted to be the first to see his body, to feel it and make sure that it’s for real," Deepika said in the interview.

Though she is impressed with 42-year-old Khan’s body, Rampal is what makes her go weak who she says was her first crush.

Deepika

"I think he looks very handsome. He is tall and chocolaty. I would be very happy if I get a chance to work with him. Arjun too was a model before he entered films and I got to learn a lot from him," she said.

Deepika-Yuvraj

Padukone termed as rumours the reported ’deep friendship’ between her and cricketer Yuvraj Singh, saying she appreciates only cricket.

"People will keep spreading rumours and the media will keep writing about it, but my family and my friends know everything. I don’t applaud any single player (at cricket matches), I clap for the whole team. The cricket team is playing well and is bringing glory to the country," she said.

Deepika is presently busy with Yashraj’s next project in which she is paired with Ranbir Kapoor .

Union Health Minister – Anbumani Ramadoss

Concerned over the impression they leave on youngsters when they smoke on silver screen, Union Health Minister Anbumani Ramadoss has urged Bollywood mega stars Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan to desist from smoking in their films.

Amitabh

"The movies are most responsible (for encouraging smoking). When I said movies should not have smoking scenes we have statistics which show that 52 per cent of children have their first puff of a cigarette because of movie celebrities," he said.

Shahrukh

"I have already made appeals to Shah Rukh Khan. I would like to make an appeal to him and Amitabh Bachchan and all other personalities," Ramadoss said in an interview to Karan Thapar on CNN-IBN’s Devil’s Advocate programme. He was also critical of Khan for smoking at a cricket match.

Shahrukh

Questioned on his pet theme of pictorial warnings on cigarette and bidi packets, he said, "I am sure they would be very effective. All this time we have been saying things to people. But I believe it is now time to scare them. In contrast to developed countries where tobacco incidence is going down, in India, it is going up frighteningly".

Confronted with the fact that the government had agreed to pictorial warnings 18 months ago but was yet to implement it, Ramadoss said the delay was due to ‘political activity and the judiciary’.

However, the government’s intention was to enforce pictorial warnings and there were no two ways on that, he added.

Shahrukh

Having just bagged the bid for the Kolkata team, actor Shah Rukh Khan said he would like to see former India captain Sourav Ganguly leading the outfit in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

Shah Rukh, along with fellow actor Juhi Chawla and Jay Mehta, won the bid for the Kolkata team for a whopping USD 75.09 million and said he would seek suggestions of experts before putting together a winning combination.

“I have already decided on the entertainment part but we have not decided on the core and content of the team. We want to put together a winning combination, for which I would definitely seek advice of the experts. I don’t have anyone in mind right now but we would seek expert view on that,” he told a TV channel.

And the Prince of Kolkata would be the obvious choice for leading the side, he said.

“I hope Ganguly leads my team,” he said.

Shahrukh

Dwelling on the venture, the actor said, “It’s not about money. The idea is to nurture youngsters and give them more platform for playing cricket. I have a huge passion for game and I want to be part of every sport. I guess I would have to make more films to ensure we can run the team”.

Preity Zinta too sounded excited about owning the Mohali team which costs her and her boyfriend Ness Wadia USD 76 million.

“All I want to say is that it was fantastic and a great opportunity. And I’m happy that we won the bid,” she said.

Wadia too shared her excitement and said, “We are happy to have a role to promote cricket. Please do come to see the team play.”

Liquor baron Vijay Mallya said though he lost the Mumbai team to Mukesh Ambani but was happy to win the bid for the Bangalore team, which costs him a staggering USD 111.6 million.

“I was under-bidder for Mumbai but I’m happy I won the Bangalore team,” he said.
