Farah takes digs at SRK

Farah takes digs at SRK

TOI would not like to hazard a guess on the relationship status between Shah Rukh Khan and Farah Khan, but the buzz in Bollywood is that the choreographer-director has mercilessly spoofed the Bollywood Badshah in her forthcoming film Tees Maar Khan.

It is said that Akshaye Khanna's role in the film is completely modelled on SRK. And the references to the superstar are as bold and direct as they can be. Trade pundits don't find this unusual. They say the film was written by Farah's husband Shirish Kunder, who doesn't see eye-to-eye with SRK, and naturally — the script-writer would have lampooned the Bollywood Badshah given the opportunity.

So, Shirish's script has Akshaye suffering from a terrible back ache for which he has to constantly go to London for treatment.

And, there's Akshaye in his opening shot talking about showing off his six-pack and going topless for a scene, which will remind viewers of SRK's Dard-e-Disco number in Om Shanti Om. Also, there's an international filmmaker coincidentally named Danny who comes to meet Akshaye and is kept waiting for six hours before Akshaye declines his film offer.

Anil Kapoor, who plays a cameo in TMK, then replaces Akshaye in this international film that wins an Oscar and Akshaye is shown regretting his decision. Which is really what happened when Danny Boyle approached SRK for Slumdog Millionaire with the role that Anil Kapoor went on to play and become an international superstar. Farah Khan, when confronted by BT with this, cleverly replied that she did not get our question at all. Hmnn... ignorance is bliss, isn't it?

TMK looks like OSO. And in the end of the promo she says, "it's better than om shanti om." haha what a publicity

Its obvious why Shirish married Farah. Why would anybody do that (at the cost of getting crushed in bed every night)? Maybe SRK as Farah's friend never liked the guy for making Farah his sugarmommy. Either way who cares, SRK and Farah are both dramaqueens and have been known to go to any lengths to promote their films. 🤪
