Shahrukh Khan pays tribute to yesteryear superstars

The superstar of today pays a tribute to megastars of yesteryears in the Yashraj film Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi .

The Aditya Chopra -directed movie will feature a song where its leading man, Shahrukh Khan , pays homage to veteran stars like Raj Kapoor , Dev Anand , Shammi Kapoor, Rajesh Khanna and Rishi Kapoor .

According to production news, Aditya had recorded the song quite earlier. The track is 12-minutes long, sung by Sonu Nigam and composed by Salim and Suleiman.

In fact, the song will pay tribute to not just the male stars of years gone by, but also the divas of Indian Cinema like Nargis , Sharmila Tagore , Waheeda Rahman and others.

Aditya has reportedly finalized four Bollywood beauties to pay these tributes. First choice was Kajol , next to join were Preity Zinta , Priyanka Chopra and finally Aditya’s favourite Rani Mukherjee .

Yashraj Films haven’t officially declared anything, but admitted that these stars will play some part in the movie. Everything is under wraps now.

The song will be an extravagant one and is planned to be shot lavishly.

Imran Khan refuses Yashraj Banner!

Imraan Khan does not want to go the Hrithik Roshan way. Like Hrithik, Imraan had a great debut. But unlike Hrithik, Imraan does not want to sign on any film coming his way even if they are from big banners. Hrithik signed with reknowned banners like Subhash Ghai(Yaadein), Sooraj Barjatiya(Mein Prem Ki Diwani Hoon) and Kunal Kohli(Mujhse Dosti Karoge) and all of them bombed. And Inran certainly does not want to follow that route.

If sources are to be believed the actor has just turned down a subject offered to him by the Yashraj banner with the reason that he did not like the script. Imraan was approached by Aditya Chopra a few months before the release of his debut film Jaane Tu Yaa Jaane Naa with three story ideas. Imraan approved one of them which was then sent to the writers to be further scripted.

However just few weeks back a narration was given to him but the actor did not quite like it.

Imraan Khan who is eagerly awaiting the release of his second film when asked if Yashraj approached him with the project, said `` I don't think it is right to talk about projects that are not confirmed.''

When quizzed further if the project that was offered to him was not liked by him and apparently has said no to the film, Imraan said, `` I don't think it is right to talk about projects that are either in development or a project that did not happen. As it stands today I have no commitments after Delhi belly.''

So the big question is, has Imraan refused the Yashraj banner? Watch this space for more on this...

Nostalgic Shah Rukh – Kajol will sizzle in RNBDJ…!

e Kajol-Shah Rukh jodi hasn't been seen together since Kabhie Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001). The industry's fav jodi are committed to Karan Johar's My Name Is Khan due 2009. However, the two will be seen together before that in Aditya Chopra's Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.

However, Kajol is not paired with SRK in RNBDJ, she's only doing a song. It was director Aditya Chopra's idea to rope in Kajol.

The song will be shot in Mumbai. And Kajol will appear in one of the verses of a song filmed on Shah Rukh and newcomer Anushka Sharma. The setting of the song will be a Punjabi folk event, and Kajol appears seconds before the song ends. A source says, "It will be very similar to her appearance in Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna. All it took was a phone call from Adi for her to say yes."

Chopra's directorial debut Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge starred SRK and Kajol in lead roles, and he was looking forward to having them together in the same frame.

SRK and Kajol have a blazing chemistry on-screen, and it is exciting for the audiences to see them together even for a few seconds. Which explains her presence in SRK starrers Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna and Om Shanti Om. An insider reveals, "Kajol is sentimental about working with Adi and Shah Rukh in a project after DDLJ."

Recently, Rani was shooting in Amritsar when Shah Rukh was shooting for RNBDJ, giving rise to speculation that Adi would rope in his favourite actress too for his film. However, now it's confirmed that it's Kajol and not Rani who is making a brief appearance in the film.

After ‘Duplicate’, Don and the super hit Om Shanti Om , the twin bug has once again bit SRK as he will be seen playing two different avatars in Aditya Chopra 's much-awaited flick that is also the launch pad of Anushka Sharma .

SRK Takes New Girl Anushka For A Ride


The name ‘Raj’ got its importance only when Shah Rukh Khan used this name and stormed it back on all the teens across the globe with his blockbusters DDLJ, KKHH and Mohabattien.

Now, once again Raj (Shah Rukh) is ready to back fire and conquer all hearts and souls in his upcoming Yash Raj’s movie, ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’

Shooting in Amritsar, along with debutant Anushka Sharma, was Shah Rukh Khan.

The crowd went mad and started chanting and shouting his name when the dude took out his Suzuki Sports bike and gave Anushka a ride of her life, which any girl would die for.

Anushka was wearing a white and green salwar-suit which reminded us of Kajol. The two were looking no less than the DDLJ pair, the difference being that this time it was Amritsar and not Switzerland, a sports bike and not a sports car.

Even after crossing the age of 40, King Khan is still the Undisputed King of Bollywood. For people who say age matters with respect to acting, please contact Shah Rukh Khan.

Shahrukh at Amritsar for RNBDJ

TOI, 3 Sep

Shahrukh Khan's taste buds couldn't miss the tang of Amritsarikultchas even as he had arrived here with his own culinary experts , who serve him his choicest food. "Sharukh had to go out for shooting at 3 pm, but he got up only after 4 pm, after having kultchas for breakfast," said one of the staff of the hotel, where he is putting up.

On Tuesday morning, Khan clad in a white shirt and black trousers went to offer his prayers at the Golden Temple, where he interacted with his fans, and exchanged pleasantries with media persons but avoided talking about his new movie. "I am here to pray for my family, country and its peace," was all he said.

The king of Bollywood, Khan had arrived in the city on late Monday night for the shooting of his forthcoming movie, Rab Ne Banna Di Jodi, along with director Aditya Chopra and producer Yash Raj Chopra. Many dance troupes lined up in front of the hotel to give auditions . Raja, head of one of such troupe, said seven members of his group had shot at the temple and was hopeful that another 20 women artistes would get a similar chance to shoot with the star.

As the news of his arrival spread, Sharukh's fans arrived in hordes in front of the hotel to have a glimpse of their favourite celluloid hero in real life. There was an excitement as youngsters were seen waiting for the star to have his autograph. However , only a few lucky ones' wishes were granted as the star was escorted inside the hotel from the rear entry. Police have cordoned off the area.
