King Khan to star with Khiladi Kinng

Shahrukh Khan must be one bundle of nerves now. He has had a brawl with almost all his colleagues.



His age-old rivalry with Amir Khan has been so much talked about, that I now almost fall asleep.

I also enjoyed to the core, the spicy spat between The Badshah and Sallubhai, as it provided me with enough substance to gossip.

The effects of the spat was not only limited to them, but spilled over to Katrina and Rani too, with whom Shahrukh ended up having an estranged relation. And ofcourse, he is not on talking terms with the Bachchans too.

To top it all, this poor chap hasn't had any hit this year, while the No 1 Khiladi, is almost giving him sleepless nights, by toppling him down, from the numero uno slot.

Poor King Khan, I am upset to see his plight. He is stranded all alone.

So now he has decided to play his cards right. He has decided to befriend his competition, Akki, yes, the same Akki whom he had spoken of deporting out of India only a few days back, so as to avoid taking sleeping pills at night.

My source was present at Shabina Khan's B'day bash where both the Kinng and the Badshah were present. She overheard the Badshah chitchat with the Kinng and offer him a lead role, alongside him, in one of his forthcoming flicks.

The conversation went on for over an hour, in one corner of the room.

Not only did he offer him a lead role, but also invited him over to Mannat. Now that is a clever move. Some people have it all...luck, the brain, and ofcourse the attitude.

Both of them will reportedly play the role of cops, in the film, with one of them going only by law, and the other taking the extremist route to punish the criminals.

Hmm, I smell a rat here. For sure Shahrukh himself would keep the former role for himself, and give the latter to Akki. Afterall, deep down, the Indian audience still doesn't appreciate shades of grey.



However, Akki is a smart chap too. He was seen just listening and nodding his head and not talking much. The Kinng now he is, he prefers just to observe.

That is what I call a wise strategy. Afterall, it's his unconventional roles like the negative ones he played in 'Ajnabi', and the comic character in 'Singh is Kingg', which are so atypical of the conventional Bollywood hero, that fetched him his current status.

Well, the Badshah might be clever, but not wise. His declaring himself the best actor of Bollywood, being over-aggressive, picking up fights with all his contemporaries in a desperate attempt to continue being the numero uno is finally springing back on him.

My advise to you Shahrukh'Let your work speak for you, and leave it upto the audience to decide who the best is.

what a very biased silly article..

Akshay is not to everyones taste because his films have been comedy no offence to fans of his but his films like aitraaz, aankhen, ajnabee have been way better.

Srk on the other hand has delived mega super hits that will go down in history and still talked about years later. Also has a very strong fan base. Not saying akshays not done well just that to compare them are stupid their films are completly different. I am just trying to say srk i think has a wider appeal.

i dont know....akshay seems to have some sort of magical touch. even the most stupidest of his movies have been blockbusters.

Mentioning Akshay and SRK in the same breath in terms of "acting" is unfair, me thinks. Sure SRK is no Amir (although i find Amir to be a little overrated), but his acting in Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa, Swades, Dil Se and CDI was phenomenol. I actually think his performance in Darr was very brilliant too...but yeah. Akshay on the other hand does not even have one movie to his credit where he has "acted".

As for the article, whoever be the king...SRK's been in the top 3 since 1994, and that cannot be erased by sudden rise of Akshay or whoever else.
