Shah Rukh plays double role in 'Om Shanti Om'

Shah Rukh Khan plays a double role in Farah Khan's eagerly awaited Om Shanti Om and takes pot shots at many Bollywood stalwarts of the past, including Manoj Kumar, a source closely involved with film said.

King Khan plays Om, a struggling junior artiste in the 1970s, who is bumped off by a jealous hero played by Arjun Rampal.

While the theme of reincarnation and revenge is a direct tribute to Subhash Ghai's Karz, there are several passages in the film where the biggies of the 1970s are targeted.

Apparently one of the primary targets of satire is Manoj Kumar, the man who wrote and re-wrote a considerable amount of the grammar and glamour of commercial Hindi cinema.

'But all in good faith. There's no malice intended in the satire. Shah Rukh and Farah are counting on the belief that people in the film industry have a sense of humour,' the source said.

Saawariya Vs Om Shanti Om

Two big ambitious projects are ready to hit box-office this festive season. SRK and Farah Khan’s ‘Om Shanti Om’ and Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Saawariya’. Taking a close look at them, one realizes that both are following the same marketing target via different routes.




For ‘Om Shanti Om’, everyone is quite aware of SRK’s shirtless ‘Dard-e-disco’ and flaunting six-pack abs. And For ‘Saawariya’, there is a rumour going round that RK Banner’s next big hope, Ranbir Kapoor, will be seen prancing around in a see-through white towel (how RK-ish, remember all those RK heroines wet and white?).




Both the movies have a new female face and where Sonam Kapoor was forbidden to show her face before SLB gave the green signal, Shah Rukh’s co-star Deepika Padukone’s celebrity face was too well-known to be kept in ‘Purdah’.




both the directors have kept mum about their basic storyline. Only producer SRK and director Farah Khan are so friendly and fun-loving and Bhansali is so brusque and bristly that one tends to put them both in different categories.




Hmmm.. whatever marketing strategies maye be, with Ranbir Kapoor’s butt versus SRK’s shirtless abs, Bollywood Box Office is all ready this festive season for some good fireworks

Gauri Khan in Om Shanti Om

Hot gossips is going on that we will see soon gauri khan soon acting in "Om shanti Om" .For the first time ever , Gauri will play a little walk-in role in this film produced by her self.

The scene depicts Gauri to walk a red carpet for a song at the end of the movie as the credits come on. Typically Farah, the technicians and crew members of the movie take a bow too in this number. Farah had tried earlier in vain to convince the elusive Mrs Khan to make a guest appearance in her first movie, Main Hoon Na . “But she ditched me. I think, Shah Rukh convinced her to do it this time,” said Farah.
Gauri is said to get bored very easily of the takes and several retakes while shooting.

“She has no patience, that’s why we don’t try to get her in front of the camera,” explained Farah. “However, for this shot, she just had to step out of a car and walk the red carpet waving to the crowd like a star.” According to the director, Gauri did not require to put in much effort for this scene. “She is very natural before the camera and is poised and stylish even otherwise,” said Farah. “Next time, I’ll try and get her to do an entire song!”


That Gauri is a style diva in Bollywood, is known. Men are also reported to find her hot! And she has constantly attracted the attention of ad filmmakers and movie producers who have all tried unsuccessfully to lure her onto the screen. Mira Nair was one of them.

Chak De India will make its entry in textbooks of Business schools as a case study. The subject dealt in Chak De India and Curriculum of business schools might be poles apart. However, Chak De India boasts about a magnificent inspiration taken by management schools from various places in India, says YRF spokesperson, Monika Bhattacharya, “We have been getting mails from institutes in Chandigarh and Bhopal saying that they are including the film into their curriculum.” Chak De team, especially SRK and the director Shimit Amin have felt extremely proud to make such an inspirational film, says Monika,” It’s feels great as it is a matter of honour.

I've no plans to be SRK's dad

Another rumor regarding a forthcoming film of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan bit the dust recently. Contrary to reports being strategically placed in sections of the media, the mighty thespian Dilip Kumar isn't playing SRK's father in the Vivek Vaswani comedy ‘Dulha Mil Gaya’.

The thespian's wife Saira Banu personally denies any such plans for her 84-year old husband. Beyond that the gracious couple refuses to say anything. But a close family friend has a lot to say about such arbitrary and illusory attempts to bring the two Khan superstars together.

Actually the Dilip Kumar–SRK ties go back a long way. Both are Pathans and share a common passion for cinema. There's a more- than- passing facial resemblance between the two.

What clinched the matter was Saira Banu’s declaration some years ago at an awards function that if she and her husband had a son he'd probably look like SRK.

The idea of casting them as father and son must have been born then, but as of now they are not coming together in any film.

‘Dulha Mil Gaya’ was shot in Tobago and Trinidad and the film stars Sushmita Sen and Fardeen Khan. SRK is paired with Sushmita in the film.
