"I am all right — just a small scratch. Nothing at all," says Shah Rukh Khan when asked about the mishap he was involved in. As reported 'SRK injured in multiplex' (MiD DAY, July 13), Shah Rukh had a minor accident on Thursday night when the glass door at the Red Lounge in Cinemax, Andheri, gave way showering him with glass pieces.

The actor was at the music release and premiere of Chintu Mohapatra's Jai Jagannath along with Mani Ratnam.

We must add that SRK has lost oodles of weight and has grown his mane post his London trip. Is it for his tycoon character in Viveck Vaswani's Dulha Mil Gaya which he begins shooting shortly?

Shah Rukh plays big brother, asks young Mimoh Chakraborty to work out with him at his gym

Shah Rukh Khan
Shah Rukh Khan has taken it upon himself to set things right for newcomer Mithun Chakraborty's son Mimoh. Although SRK was impressed with Mimoh's dancing and acting skills, he told Mimoh that he needs to work on his body. The star has now asked Mimoh to work out with him at his personal gym every day.

Shah Rukh Khan recently worked with Mithunda when they both shot for Om Shanti Om. That's where he also met Mimoh. SRK and Mimoh hit it off instantly. Consequently, he has met Mimoh on several occasions, and watched the rushes of his film too. During these meetings, SRK not only guided Mimoh on various aspects of acting but also gave the youngster some valuable suggestions.

Mithunda confirmed the news. He said, "I showed Mimoh's video to Shah Rukh and Farah. Shah Rukh said, 'Mimoh is a mind-blowing dancer!' Shah Rukh did ask him to work out more on his body and has even asked him to work out with him, under his guidance. Not just that, he has also helped Mimoh with all his contacts and has stood by him in every possible way."

Mimoh
He adds, "Shah Rukh and Farah are very fond of Mimoh. In fact, Salman, Sohail, Govinda and the entire gang treat him like their own family. They have been guiding him on every aspect. Since Mimoh is an introvert, this kind of interaction and guidance is really great for him. It's great to see all of them supporting Mimoh."

Mimoh is currently suffering from viral fever and has been advised bed rest. He says, "I have been down with viral fever. But I am looking forward to training with Shah Rukh as soon as I get better."

Sanah Khan: 'I'm crazy about SRK'

7 Jul 2007, 0000 hrs IST; ASHOK CHATTERJEE Times News Network

The latest entrant to make it to the controversy list, says that any publicity is good publicity.

Sanah Khan shares one similarity with the ' Khan'daan camp. Like our Salman (macho) Khan, this lissome lady is quick to enlist her name on the controversy list. Courtesy her Amul Macho ad on the small screen, which critics point out, borders on the banal.

....
....

Wanting to make a mark in Bollywood, is Sanah aware of the casting couch there, we ask? "I haven't faced something like that till now, though I'm very much aware of it and am cautious about the same," she giggles. The youngster can hardly contain her excitement when questioned about an ad for a fairness cream with King Khan.

"I am a great fan of his and it was great working with him. I just managed to say hello to him and get a picture clicked with him," Sanah adds with a smile as she continues to rave about her passion. "I'm so crazy about SRK that I even tried to commit suicide by jumping off our building, when I was in the seventh standard. It happened after my mother was about to throw away all the SRK memorabilia I had collected over the years. But finally I won my mother over."

'Khan' you believe it?

You Khan count on me!

KJo's next SRK-starrer is titled Khan. And Kajol has, at last, signed on the dotted line

Posted On Saturday, July 07, 2007

There are never any prizes for guessing who will star in Karan Johar's next. Of course it's Shah Rukh Khan. But this time, KJo has surprised us with the title of his film. It advertises his lead star and is called 'Khan'.

And yes, Kajol has finally agreed to do the film. She took a long time to think about getting back on screen with Shah Rukh Khan. The issue was her daughter and time management for Kajol, the mother. She didn't want to be away for long days from her daughter. But we have it from reliable sources that KJo managed to persuade Kajol to accept his offer by going all emotional and teary-eyed, a la the characters of his films.

Reportedly he told her that if she didn't do the film, he would scrap the idea of making it altogether. Well, Kads couldn't say 'no' after that, and the contract was brought out before she could change her mind. So now she's officially on board with her Kuch Kuch Hota Hai co-star.

Khan is based in New York (where else?) and deals with social issues, including safety issues and terrorism. Karan is known to have made the rounds of several NGOs in the US while researching his film.

'I'm doing animation'

On his films: This year, there's nothing, but next year, there's lots.
Tarun Mansukhani and Siddharth Malhotra will be directing two films for me.

I have an animation film that I'm really excited about that I'll release the details of soon. My directed film will start February or March next year.

It's not at all about relationships. These are four projects — I took the year off to structure all this for Dharma,to expand the production house. By virtue of its content, my film has to be based in America. But not in New York.

Walt Disney Pictures calls on SRK

By MovieTalkies.com, 6 July 2007

It is believed that Walt Disney Pictures, the bigwigs in the entertainment business, have approached Shah Rukh Khan. The company is keen to invest in SRK's Red Chillies Entertainment. According to sources, they want to invest $30 million in the deal.

This is not the first time that Disney Pictures have approached the actor. They have tried getting in touch with the actor once before as well. SRK could not meet them then as he was too tied up with work. But this time round, when SRK was holidaying in London with his family, it is believed that representatives of the company flew down from Hollywood to meet him and strike a deal. They plan to invest $30 million in the first phase of the partnership. Other international companies like Sony Pictures and Rupert Murdoch's company have also expressed interest in investing in Red Chillies. So far, the actor has not confirmed anything about the deal. So one will just have to wait and watch.

SRK to promote Jai Jagannath

By: Upala KBR
July 7, 2007

The small project has a noble cause. Eighty per cent of the film's proceeds will go to charity

DIVINE INTERVENTION: Jai Jagannath

Shah Rukh Khan may be a big star, but the actor remains down-to-earth with close associates.

So when Mani Ratnam's line producer Chintu Mahapatra asked him to release the music of his production Jai Jagannath, he was pleasantly surprised when the actor immediately said yes.

Says Chintu, "I've known Shah Rukh for many years since I was an assistant director on Dil Se.

He is a wonderful human being, so I thought of asking him to release the music of Jai Jagannath as I need media support. I sent him an SMS and was surprised when he responded and called me to his home the next day."

For a good cause

Chintu then met him and told him about the script and the special cause (80 per cent of the film's proceeds will be donated to charity) and SRK was more than willing to oblige.

Says Chintu, "He told me, 'When do you want me to come? I will be in London till July 11, but I can be there after that.' So we finalised the date July 12 and that was it. It's a great gesture from a star of his stature to lend support."

Jai Jagannath, directed by his brother Sabyasachi Mahapatra, has been made in 15 languages and the cast and crew has worked for free.

Informs Chintu, "Eighty per cent of the proceeds will go towards charity: 50 per cent to the Lord Jagannath Temple Administration Trust, 15 per cent to the Chaitanya Trust in Balangir (for rural education and health, run by his parents), 15 per cent towards one more charitable organisation and 20 per cent towards the working costs of the film."

The Chaitanya Trust operates from Lehedi (Orissa). Says Chintu, "We were born and brought up in Lehedi village, which is the poorest district in India.

The trust, run by my parents and elder brother, provides help to the poor."

Chintu adds that the film addresses the caste system and women's liberation through mythology.

'Chak De India': Yashraj's next hope

Sunday, July 08, 2007 01:18:24 pm

After 'Jhoom Barabar Jhoom' and 'Ta Ra Rum Pum' being disappointing, Yashraj is now ready with SRK-starrer 'Chak De India'. Will it be a hat-trick of flops, or will this save the day for Yashraj films?

With the national game of hockey as its theme, 'Chak De India' has the Badshah of Bollywood playing Kabir Khan, a former hockey player who takes it upon himself to coach the women's Indian hockey team.

With no big names apart from SRK and model-turned-actor Vidya Malvade, it remains to be seen if Chak De will strike it big at the box office or if will it be the third dud in a row from the already shaky Yashraj empire. Come August, we'll know for sure.
