Kareena Kapoor has hit a jackpot. She has been signed by Ramgopal Varma to play Shah Rukh Khan’s sweetheart in a film on time travel titled ‘Time Machine’.

This will be Kareena’s second film opposite Shah Rukh. If you remember Kareena has already featured with SRK in his home production ‘Asoka’ and is currently doing a cameo (Helen’s role) in Farhan Akhtar’s ‘Don’ starring Shah Rukh and Priyanka Chopra in the lead.

Kareena was earlier doing a sci-fi film with Harry Baweja titled ‘Love Story 2050′ opposite his son Harman Baweja but she opted out of it. Now there’s a buzz that she opted out of Harry’s film to do this one, with a bigger banner and a bigger star.

Everyone knows that Shah Rukh Khan is a great actor and equally great father. This summer he is planning a summer break from Bollywood to take his family on a grand holiday.

So far SRK has been shooting non-stop, first for Karan Johar’s ‘Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna’ in US and now for Farhan Akhtar’s ‘Don’ in Malaysia.

Between the two he hardly spent time with his kids in last few months. So now the superstar, in order to make up for the lost time has already planned a holiday destination. Where? Of course London! (more…)

You must think that superstar Shah Rukh Khan is perfection personified but ask his wife, he has his annoying sides too. And like all normal couples Shah Rukh - Gauri quarrel over trivial issues.

Mostly we see wife’s spending too much time in Bathrooms and husbands irritated at their habit but in SRK case it’s the other way round. Shah Rukh has a habit of spending loads of time in bathroom! This drives Gauri Khan up the wall. (more…)

Shahrukh is still the Badshah of acting despite of not getting any awards this year and Akshay is currently ruling the box office. And the two will be seen together for the first time as opponents (Shahrukh to don Amitabh’s cap, while Akshay in Shashi Kapoor shoes) in Yash Chopra’s Kabhie Kabhie remake.

Yes, Yash Chopra has decided to remake his own ’70s block-buster Kabhie Kabhie originally made with Amitabh Bachchan, Shashi Kapoor and Rakhee. The new version is likely to have Shah Rukh Khan playing Amitabh and Akshay Kumar playing Shashi Kapoor. For Rakhee’s role Yashraj Films had approached Rani Mukherji but apparently Rani doesn’t have dates available, so now they are considering Preity Zinta. (more…)

Recently Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan said that song-and-dance numbers are unique to Indian cinema and should not be dropped to appeal to international audiences.

Shah Rukh whose movie ‘Paheli’ also starring super actress starring Rani Mukherjee was thrown out of the Oscar race said that we (Bollywood) should not listen to Critics who often complain that songs (which pop up as dream sequences in most Indian movies) need to be curtailed since audiences overseas find them irrelevant to the plot.

However, Khan said that while movies should be shorter than the average three-hour length, the song-dance routines must stay. Khan said, “Films are an important aspect of entertainment in India and we should retain the songs and dances - that’s our USP (unique selling point).” (more…)

Kay Kay Menon who is known for his grey shades in ‘Sarkar’ will be seen in a lead role opposite Bipasha Basu in Madhur Bhandarkar’s ‘Corporate’.

You will be seen opposite Bipasha Basu and she has a power packed role in the film.
Even if Bipasha plays the protagonist, my role is equally important in the film. If I can judge for myself that a film can be made without me I do not sign it. When Madhur approached me with his script, I was thrilled because it was a trilogy which he is planning to make. I have seen Page 3, and I think Atul Kulkarni’s character was as strong as Konkona’s in the film. It would be wrong to tag him as a feminist film-maker. His male characters are equally interesting - he has both spineless and intelligent male characters in his films. (more…)

Star Anchors:
The oomph girl Mallika Sherawat and the known director Karan Johar are hosting the Awards. Mallika is known for her peppy tongue and this time she will be unstoppable. Another interesting thing to look forward is her dressing which always creates shock. Karan who has hosted such events two times before will be a delight to look at. Those who have seen Karan’s hit TV talk show ‘Koffee with Karan’ know how naughty he is and if one remembers Mallika was the hot topic of discussion in more than one episode. It will be so much fun to watch them together. Arjun Rampal, Konkona SenSharma and Gulshan Grover are the other celebrity to hosts for the show. (more…)
