(DNA)
Actors Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif, who are currently in London shooting for Yash Chopra’s romantic flick, apparently made the most of their free time in between shoots over the weekend, by catching a Bollywood film in a theatre there.
Some fans who apparently spotted the two stars catching the latest Saif Ali Khan spy thriller, accompanied by Katrina’s sister, and a few crew members, even posted pictures of the actors’ outing online. Reports claimed that the two along with some members of the cast and crew saw Agent Vinod in a theatre with the aam junta there.
According to the buzz online, apparently their shoot was wrapped early in the day and since they were in the vicinity of a theatre where the Bollywood film was playing, they decided to check it out. The cine-goers apparently were unaware of their presence in their midst and it was only when Katrina stepped out in the arcade that some managed to spot them and even clicked their photographs while in the theatre.
Meanwhile, Katrina was expected to also attend a special screening of her own film Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara at a university there. It will now be close to a month that she and Shah Rukh have been shooting in London for their first film together.
According to a source, the two will be wrapping up the shoot there by the month end before heading back home. And while SRK is said to be maha-excited about getting back home to family, Kat’s going to be missing her own friends and family there.

SRK's new YRF film with Katrina on floors today
(NDTVMovies.Com)
On Friday, Shah Rukh Khan said he felt happy to start work with veteran filmmaker Yash Chopra. He was referring to the new film from Yash Raj Films which pairs him opposite Katrina Kaif for the first time.
The film will go on the floors today.
"Feel extremely happy when I start work with yashji...from the inside. Easy...smiles...happiness...purity of storytelling," SRK posted on Twitter on Friday.
Yesterday, Uday Chopra, Yash Chopra's son who often assists on his movies, confirmed the launch of the film. "Launching my dad's film today with a little pooja at YRF... shoot starts tomorrow with @ iamsrk and Katrina Kaif.. Dad directing after Veer- Zaara (sic)," Uday tweeted.
Yash Chopra returns to direction after seven years - after the cross-border love story Veer Zaara in 2004, with Shah Rukh Khan and Preity Zinta. No title has been decided as yet for the new film.
The film also stars Anushka Sharma, a Yash Raj favourite who made her debut with Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi in 2008 opposite SRK.
The music of the new film will be composed by A R Rahman and Gulzar will pen the lyrics.
SRK's earlier films with Yash Raj include blockbusters like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Dil to Pagal Hai and Mohabattein. It remains to be seen what Katrina can add to the SRK-Yash Raj hit formula.
The film is scheduled to release on Diwali 2012.
Katrina Kaif nervous about working with Shah Rukh Khan
Katrina Kaif is candid enough to confess that it is more fun working with the younger heroes than the older ones.
In the beginning of her career she worked with senior actors like Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar. She was paired with the younger actor like Ranbir Kapoor in the recent past in films like Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani and Raajneeti that were successful, and then she did a Yashraj film with Imran Khan - Mere Brother Ki Dulhan which is about to release.
"I don't think anyone will mind if I say that it is very different working with older heroes because the age difference is of about 20 years, and just about two to three years with the younger heroes with who you can even do nonsense on the sets. For instance, Imran would come on the sets, he would kick me playfully...at times there would be nothing constructive what we were doing..there is so much bachpana .."
And one senior actor Katrina is terrified working with is Salman's arch foe Shah Rukh Khan. She will soon romance Shah Rukh on the big screen. "I don't know what it will be like working with Shah Rukh but I have heard that he makes his heroines very comfortable which is good. I am only on hi, hello terms with him and now I am doing Yash Chopra's romantic film with him! I look at him longingly but am always short of words while in his company," says Katrina.

Yash Chopra - 50 years and counting... The eternal romantic teams up with the king of romance once again
As already announced, Yash Chopra's next directorial venture stars the king of romance, Shahrukh Khan. As Yashji put it earlier, "Everyone knows that when I make a movie, Shahrukh will be involved with it. He is like family to YRF and I have always regarded him as one of my own."
However, after days of media conjecturing, we are happy to confirm that the two ladies, who will also be a part of this project, are Katrina Kaif, who will be playing a role opposite Shahrukh for the very first time, and Anushka Sharma, who was launched in "Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi", alongside Shahrukh.
Orchestrated by Yash Chopra, this untitled movie will mark the coming together yet again of the award winning duo of the music maestro A. R. Rahman and the poet & lyricist, Gulzar.
When we spoke with him, he shared some of his thoughts with us.
"It's been 7 years since I directed Veer-Zaara and as I begin work on my new film I hear my inner voice asking me a lot of questions. Are you sure you want to direct again, you are nearly 80 years old and the audience is getting younger day by day. Can I really speak from my heart and still expect today's youth to listen to me? Will I be able to live up to the blind faith that Shahrukh Khan has in me and give him yet another memorable romantic film? Will I be able to present the beautiful Katrina Kaif and the very talented Anushka Sharma in a way they have never been seen before? Will I be able to inspire Rahman and Gulzar Bhai enough to create their best work yet?
The honest answer is... I DON'T KNOW! All I know is that I'm making a film that I believe in, a film that is about love and nothing else. A film which has an old soul but a young heart. A film which is classic in its look but contemporary in its language. A film which I'm making on one simple faith... the love that my audiences have given to me over the years. They have tolerated my indulgences for the past 50 years, I'm sure they will indulge me one more time."
The film is scheduled for a Diwali 2012 release, the festive time when Yash Chopra movies over the years have lit up homes worldwide.
Yashji, it's nice to have you back in the Director's Chair!

I'll land up naked on Yash Chopra’s set: SRK
What’s happening to your film with Yash Chopra?
When I work with people I have worked with for years, I don’t even ask what they are doing. I’ve reached a stage in life where I need friends who have done films with me. And Yashji is more than a friend. He is like a mentor and a wonderful human being; besides being India’s greatest filmmaker ever. So, he asks me, “Beta aa jao, picture karni hai (Son, come over, we need to do a film).” And I always reply, “Haanji, aap bas bata do (Sure, just let me know).” He called me a few days ago and said, “Tu toh milta hi nahi hai yaar (you never meet).” So, I said, “Kya karna hai milke (what’s there to meet).” He told me, “Sun toh le kya karna hai film mein (at least listen to what has to be done in the film).” And I replied, “Aap karlo jo karna hai, main aa jaunga (you do what’s to be done, I’ll land up).” So he asked me, “Kapde kya pehnega (what’ll you wear?).” I said, “Nanga aa jaunga main, jo accha lage pehna dena (I’ll land up naked, make me wear whatever you like).”
More details please.
I can assure you that it’ll be a grand Yash Chopra film. But I don’t know the cast yet. I keep reading about Kajol or Katrina… (laughs). I, for one, don’t know if they are doing the film or not. Adi (producer Aditya Chopra) also asked me a few days ago, “When are we starting the film?” I told him, “You tell me when you want me to do it, and I’ll come.” I think they want to launch in November. Yashji, out of love, asked, “Should we launch on your birthday?” I told him, “Mere birthday pe kar do, apne birthday pe kar do (do it on my birthday, your birthday), I will do it.”

Director of some of the most heart-warming and celebrated movies of our times.. yrf is very proud to announce our next project directed by Yash Chopra. Also, for the first time, Yashji and A. R. Rahman have come together for the music of this project. It is indeed a special announcement of two industry stalwarts collaborating on a film. Speaking on this, Yash Chopra was effusive in his praise for the talented music director. "I am starting work on the music of my as yet untitled film with the very talented Rahman. Apart from the great honour that he has consistently brought to our country, he is also someone that has created some outstanding and memorable music, something which is very important and dear to me and my films. I am looking forward to creating some wonderful music combining Rahman's contemporary world music sensibilities and my old world sensibilities of lilting melodies."  A. R. Rahman, while speaking about working with Yashji for the first time said, "I am very excited to work with Yashji and I am humbled by his faith in me for his film. I have seen that Yashji always portrays music as the inevitable essence of love and divinity in his movies. I hope as a team we can bring tremendous joy to all."On the various conjectures about the cast for his movie, Yashji also said, "Everyone knows that when I make a movie, Shahrukh will be involved with it. He is like family to YRF and I have always regarded him as one of my own. There will be two leading ladies in my film. Once Adi gives me the final draft of the script, I will finalise the two girls who will be cast along with Shahrukh." (YRF) |
Did YRF first offer Ek Tha Tiger to Shah Rukh Khan?
Yash Raj Films probably made one of the biggest announcements last week when they signed Salman Khan along with Katrina Kaif for Kabir Khan's directorial venture Ek Tha Tiger. The news was indeed big as it is the first time Salman is working with Yash Raj Films.
However, not many people know that the same film had earlier been offered to YRF favourite and Salman's rival Shah Rukh Khan who unfortunately couldn't take it up due to date issues. King Khan in a recent interview has confirmed the same and has said that he doesn't have any regrets that YRF have now gone ahead and signed Salman for the project. However, it remains to be seen if Sallu was aware of this fact before signing the project.

SRK to romance Katrina now
Following our story on September 28, 2010, about SRK in Yash Chopra's next directorial venture, the industry was abuzz with speculations over the actress that would make the cut.
All rumours can be put to rest now. For the first time in her eight-year acting career, Katrina Kaif, will star opposite SRK in the YRF project.
A source close to YRF says, "Katrina was the first choice for the heroine's role in Yashji's film. She immediately said 'yes' to the film. She has loved the script and is looking forward to working with Yashji. She will play Shah Rukh's romantic interest."
Talking about the film's storyline, the source reveals, "Obviously, the film will be a love story. Yashji is a master of romance. There is no reason why he will not generate and extract great chemistry between Shah Rukh and Katrina."
Since the production house has witnessed some turmoil in the recent past, YRF is depending on the success of this project. When asked if SRK and Katrina feel secure about this endeavour, the source says, "Shah Rukh and Katrina have very good relations with Yashji and Aditya. They have equal faith in both of them. They are like family to them."
Considering, the last film that SRK did with Yash Chopra (Veer Zaara, 2004) was a success, here's hoping that all works out well for YRF.

Shahrukh Khan’s next Yash Raj movie starts from April
The King of Bollywood Shah Rukh Khan’s next with his loyal Yash Raj Films is likely to go on floors this April. Directed by the King of romance Yash Chopra and still there are strong rumours of Katrina Kaif pairing opposite King Khan. There’s no official confirmation on the date of the movie going on floors but a close hand reveals that its likely to be in April.
Shahrukh was last seen under Yash Raj banner in ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ with Anushka Sharma.
Reliable sources swear that the Bollywood Badshah Shahrukh Khan is in a special contract with the Indian premiere production house Yash Raj Films where he is suppose to do one film in a gap of two years at least.
We all are eagerly waiting to see what the magic of SRK is and Yashji has in store for us after ‘Veer Zara’.

SRK back in Yash’s Raaj
In a bid to change the tide, Yash Raj Films has signed on the superstar for its next, which will either be directed by head honcho Yash Chopra or his son Aditya.
Given their recent records, Yash Raj Films (YRF) is now trying to salvage its reputation of being one of the most successful and prestigious production houses in Bollywood. A lot of their recent projects bombed at the box office but they haven’t let that dampen their spirits.
After offering Dhoom 3 to Aamir Khan (he will start reading the script around October 15), YRF has now got another box-office winner, Shah Rukh Khan to work on one of its forthcoming films.
The last YRF film with King Khan, which Yash Chopra directed himself, was Veer Zaara (2004), a box office success. The production house is counting a lot on the success of its forthcoming project with the actor. This film will either be directed by YRF head honcho Yash Chopra or his son Aditya.
A source says, “YRF is yet to decide who will direct the Shah Rukh starrer. SRK has very good relations with both, Yashji and Aditya. He has equal faith in both of them. They are like family to him.”
And interestingly, it may seem as though SRK has proved lucky for the production house, as most of the films the actor has done with them have been successful at the box office, with the exception of Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (2008).
While the lead actor has been finalised, the position of the heroine opposite Shah Rukh still remains open.
Apparently, the SRK starrer for YRF will go on floors in 2011. So, next year, Shah Rukh, who will start shooting for Farhan Akhtar’s Don 2, will thus be shooting for at least two films. This will obviously be quite a change from his usual habit of shooting for only one film a year.
When contacted, the YRF spokesperson said, “We are still working on our slate for the coming year and will make our announcements at the appropriate time on the finalisation of our projects.”

No Aishwarya Rai-Shahrukh Khan jodi?
No more rumours please! Aishwarya Rai getting paired up with Shahrukh Khan in Yashraj Films’ next is just not happening. A noted tabloid recently published a story about Ash and SRK coming together after a hiatus for a Yashraj film and even quoted a source from the production house. But YRF is quite miffed by this particular ‘breaking news’ and has issued an official statement rubbishing the rumour.
“Despite our categorical denial of this baseless rumour, the tabloid continued to publish this with an ambiguous quote from a person at YRF. It is totally baseless and not true,” the official statement said.
YRF also clearly stated, “it would be great if you (media) could please check with us before quoting any unconfirmed sources.”
It seems there is no scope for the Ash-SRK jodi in YRF.

Aditya Chopra wants to direct DHOOM 3
Now, this might sound a bit interesting. If the latest reports emerging out of the Yash Raj camp are to be believed, it seems Aditya Chopra is all set to make the much talked about film DHOOM 3 if his dream cast is by his side.
Buzz is that Aditya Chopra wants to direct DHOOM 3 if SRK and Hrithik are part of the film. Though, many believe that SRK can never say NO to him, but Hrithik seems to be a tough nut to crack given his other commitments.
Well, if everything else goes according to the plan, the audiences can expect yet another spectacle from the Yash Raj camp.

Sallu's gal Kat with ex-dost SRK!
There’s a treat for everyone’s eyes. The dream jodi of Yash Raj Films’ blue-eyed boy and the nation’s favorite Barbie girl will finally be seen together in a YRF film.
Just as we got to know about Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif parading together at the Independence Day Carnival in Chicago and Houston next week, we learn that YRF has caught the two stars for their film which will be made early next year.
The film will be directed by either Aditya Chopra or Kabir Khan.
The project has been in the pipeline for a long time and rumours have been doing rounds for a while now too, but this time, it’s for real, the deal has been inked. However, Salman Khan’s shadow looms large over the pair. While the two Khans warred openly at Katrina’s birthday party, most thought that they would never get to see SRK and Katrina in the same frame ever.
But YRF seems to have done it.
Our source reveals, “Katrina definitely has it going for her. SRK, on the other hand, has remained in the safe zone — as far as heroines are concerned — for a long time. Be it Rani Mukerji or Preity Zinta, he has stuck to his regulars and has worked with them repeatedly. He needs to be a tad more adventurous about his co-stars, and that’s where Katrina comes into the picture.”
Katrina, on her side, has taken the pains to make it clear that she will never allow personal issues to chart her career. Whatever the status of Salman’s relationships with others, she will not allow that to come in the way of decision-making.

Asin to romance Shahrukh Khan!
This Southern belle is definitely having a ball. After working with Aamir Khan in Ghajini Salman Khan in yet-to-be-released London Dreams , Asin is set to work with Shahrukh Khan .
Grapevine is abuzz that Asin is being considered for a role opposite SRK in a Yashraj film. However, the original choice for the role was Katrina Kaif , but Shahrukh, who wants to keep safe distance from Salman and co., wasn’t too interested in working with Katrina.
So Katrina is reportedly out and Asin is in.
Saying yes to the project wasn’t easy for Asin. She had already allotted the dates to a Priyadarshan flick with none other than Akshay Kumar . And since Yashraj Films demanded dates around the same time, Asin was in a fix. She had to choose between doing a film with Akki or Yashraj.
But luck favoured Asin. Akshay asked Priyadarshan to postpone his film because of unavailability of dates. So as Priyan’s film was shifted to 2010, Asin had free dates for the Yashraj film.
So now, as things stand, Asin is most likely doing the YR Film with SRK. But interestingly, there’s a buzz that she might be replaced by Katrina in Priyan’s film with Akki.
Well, the two ladies are all square now.

‘Rab Ne…’ hits bull’s eye, breaks Yash Raj’s jinx
(IANS) Yash Raj Films’ “Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi” that hit the screens Dec 12 has proven to be a breather for the production house breaking its jinx of delivering duds this year. The banner’s earlier releases this year, “Roadside Romeo”, “Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic” and “Tashan” were cold-shouldered by the audience despite major pre-release promotion though Ranbir Kapoor starrer “Bachna Ae Haseeno” managed to do average business at the box office.
However, “Rab Ne…” has given Yash Raj Films a new lease of life.
It was believed in the trade circles that the production house was releasing the film at a wrong time - when global economic slump was on and soon after the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks.
Directed by dormant filmmaker Aditya Chopra, the film is Shah Rukh Khan’s first release of the year and the first Shah Rukh-Aditya Chopra collaboration in over eight years after post “Mohabbatein” (2000).
The film has broken all earlier opening weekend collection records for Yash Raj Films grossing approximately Rs.600 million worldwide on its opening weekend.
“It’s after a long time that a good movie has came out of the Yash Raj camp and that too with Aditya Chopra and Shah Rukh coming together after eight years,” Joginder Mahajan, a Delhi-based distributor, told IANS.
“Though the collections for the movie have not been cent percent, they have been beyond expectations so far. It is the first big release after ‘Dostana’ and has no competition till the next two weeks until ‘Ghajini’ releases Dec 25. So it has full chances of reaping the benefit,” he added.
Set in Amritsar, “Rab Ne…” is the story of a mismatched couple played by Shah Rukh and debutante Anushka Sharma and how the pair explores love in the backdrop of a dance competition.
According to a statement released by Yash Raj Films Monday, the light-hearted romantic comedy has crossed boundaries and even set records in the Middle East.
The film has also received a grand opening across all overseas markets, including Britain, the US, Australia, Europe, Africa, and other territories in Asia.

A source reveals, “The private screening was attended by Shah Rukh Khan, wife Gauri, kids Suhana and Aryan, Karan Johar, Aditya Chopra, Yash Chopra and debutante Anushka Sharma.

You know talking about this film makes me smile always.”
We wish SRK all the luck for his most awaited movie.
