Are you ready for a game of hockey with Shah Rukh Khan?

This hoarding -- located on a busy junction in Bandra, a Mumbai suburb -- seems to prepare us for the game.

SRK's first release of the year, Chak De India, will be out on August 10. The actor will play the coach of a girl's hockey team in the Yash Raj Films production.

The film will be directed by Shimit Amin, who made the well-made Ab Tak Chappan, starring Nana Patekar.

Lets hope Chak De India sees a better fate than Yash Chopra's previous 2007 releases, Ta Ra Rum Pum and Jhoom Barabar Jhoom.

Shah Rukh Khan's expansion plans

10th July 2007 09.01 IST
By Agencies


Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan desired to set up a whole new state of the art film studio for quite some time.

SRK has shifted his 'Red Chillies' VFX studio to a bigger place as part of his expansion plans.

SRK has just acquired a new bigger office located at Lokhandwala, Andheri where employees of the company will be shifting soon. The place is being renovated and will soon be ready.

The new studio for the 'Red Chillies' staff will be equipped with state of the art equipment and the company also has plans to hire more personnel in view of the expansion plans.

The King Khan plans to have a first rate VFX studio and wants to be on par with international special effects studios. Currently 'Red Chillies' VFX studio is working on special effects for commercials and Farah Khan 's film Om Shanti Om which is said to have some really good special effects.

The company has previously worked on special effects for some of SRK's other films like Main Hoon Na , Paheli and Don however they will soon be working on special effects for other Bollywood films, commercials and even Hollywood films.

According to insiders SRK has also bought some other land with the intention to expand his business ventures.

A source claims "We are getting closer to Shahrukh's vision of having a first class graphic designing studio. The new studio is a huge space and can support at least 300 professionals."

SRK's net attitude

Shah Rukh Khan is extremely internet savvy and carries his laptop wherever he goes.

But a birdie near his Bandra abode tells us that SRK has two e-mail IDs — one is an old Hotmail account that he uses for professional reasons, while the other is a Mac account purely for personal contacts.

Apparently, SRK is very protective about this ID and only gives it out to friends and close acquaintances.

So where does that leave his zillions of fans?

Sorry dahlings, but you'll just have to make do with his personal website!

Srk's Got A New Look

Not only has King Khan lost oodles of weight, he's got a new, messy haircut too!

Just what's happening to all our stars! After Kareena Kapoor, John Abraham and several other actors, ShahRukh Khan too seems to be aiming for size 0.

King Khan had already lost most of the flab for his character in 'Don', but now it seems he is losing even more weight, add to that his new messy haircut (which, we must admit, makes him look quite yummy!).

Well, new look or not, the actor has certainly not lost his star appeal abroad. Khan fever swept the UK as thousands of dedicated fans queued for many hours to get a glimpse and chance to meet their favourite star at the fourth Asian Lifestyle Show in Olympia, London.

Not even the UK's biggest sports weekend, Wimbledon tennis finals, the British F1 Grand Prix, Tour de France, live earth concert and all the road closures around London, could put people off coming to see the King Khan.

His fans got the opportunity to get up close and personal as he signed autographs, appeared on the two huge stages at the venue, charmed and inter-acted with the crowds, enacted his favourite film dialogues from his recent blockbuster 'DON', a scene from 'Devdas', and even sung a few lines from his all time favourite movie 'Dilwale Dulhania...' .

Any doubts now as to why he's still Bollywood's Baadshah!

The Real Shah Rukh Khan

I heard bizarre stories about SRK fans everywhere, over and over again. There was one moment with SRK that I will never forget...
A widely praised new biography of Shah Rukh Khan by Anupama Chopra, author of Sholay: The Making of a Classic, will be released in India in August. Nisha Susan speaks to the award-winning writer

Who gave you the most interesting insights about SRK?

I would say SRK himself! He is by far the most fascinating source and tells the best stories. He is supremely articulate and is a very entertaining speaker.

Does your book overturn received ideas of SRK?

The most prevalent perception about SRK is that he is a bigger star than he is an actor. My book cannot overturn that perception, only a movie can! That notion about Shah Rukh has been a singular note in his career right from his theatre days with Barry John. Despite people laughing at him, his friends making fun of him, that style has been constant. His friends would say, aaj chhath ko uda diya! What was interesting for me was how he used that over-the-top, highly energetic style and transformed it into global superstardom.

Your book starts at an unlikely place — in a small town in Georgia — with an SRK fan who dreams one night that he is dancing with SRK.

I heard bizarre stories about SRK fans everywhere, over and over again. There was one moment with SRK that I will never forget. It was in the rural outskirts of Chandigarh during the production of Veer-Zaara. The scene needed a pastoral setting. The unit had just arrived in this field and I stepped into the makeup van to chat with SRK. We spent an hour talking. Then we came out of the van. First, I stepped out, then SRK followed me. I was suddenly hit by this strange, very loud sound. It was frightening. When I had stepped into the van the field had been empty. Now there were 400 people chanting SRK's name. It was surreal. More so because I had been sitting for an hour with SRK with very little sense of talking to God. There was none of the old-style megalomania of stars about Shah Rukh. I had forgotten that this guy is worshipped. His stardom is like nothing I have ever experienced. Being around him is nonstop entertainment.

What did you yourself most want to know about SRK?

I wanted to find the 'X' factor in the whole SRK phenomenon. Obviously, there really is no key to explain how he arrived where he is or who he is. There is no single factor to explain why he, who to many is a mediocre actor and a mediocre looker, is the face of post-liberalised India.

What is the one thing about SRK that few people know?

I didn't know that his first movie role was in Arundhati Roy and Pradeep Krishen's In Which Annie Gives it Those Ones. I could not believe it. I dug up the movie and watched him in it and keeled over laughing. There he was, in three scenes, just one of the crowd. He was quite hurt about not landing a lead role in that film.

Does he remain elusive to you or do you now feel you know him well?

SRK will always be elusive to me. SRK is fiercely intelligent. He reveals only what he chooses to reveal. He will only tell you what he wants you to know. There are spaces in his life in which someone like me would never be admitted

Your book explores SRK, the city of Mumbai and Bollywood. How has SRK shaped Bollywood?

I think SRK has shaped Bollywood enormously. I think his presence and the work he did with Karan Johar and Aditya Chopra structured 90s Bollywood. Dilwale Dulhania Le Jaayenge was a watershed moment in terms of the overseas market, stories and how characters were shaped. Then he picked up Karan Johar who was Aditya's assistant director and they did Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, which was another watershed moment. Kuch Kuch Hota Hai transformed the style, the costumes, the look of Hindi films. Shah Rukh is the face of New Bollywood. When I first started reporting on Bollywood even in the early 90s, most of the directors were men in their 50s. It was still a cottage industry and quite unprofessional. SRK and the directors he worked with had a lot to do with changing that.

What is your favourite Hindi film?

My all-time favourite still is Sholay. For people from my generation there is nothing like Sholay and no one like Amitabh Bachchan. That reverential low-angle view we still reserve for Mr Bachchan.

Finally, did SRK stop you from writing up specific stuff on him?

Never. He never told me what to write or what not to write. He made it clear from the start this was going to be my take on him.

SRK is clearly and undoubtedly a 'cut' above the rest!

SRK = Sexy rocking Khan

The Bollywood Badshah's new look is a cut above the rest.
Khantastic times are here again with Shah Rukh Khan back in the city after holidaying with his family in London. And he's looking sexier than ever (if that's possible!). He's 'hair', there and everywhere! Badshah Khan's new longhaired look is the talk of the town, not to mention the lean, super-sculpted bod, but then again, when it's Shah Rukh, everything about him is newsworthy isn't it? His smooth tresses are definitely very becoming, adding to his sex appeal and charm. Dilshad Pastakia, his hairstylist, was in a way responsible for the cool ponytailed look SRK had sported for a while. He reportedly went on record and said that since Dilshad was on maternity leave with her first born Dalai, he had no choice but to wait till she could cut his hair. That's loyalist Khan for you. She's the lucky lady who gets to run her hands through his smooth, dark hair.

"SRK's long hair currently is not really a look as such. But when it's SRK, I guess it becomes a 'look'. He's just growing it out and it's not for any particular film. When he had the ponytail earlier, he looked fab in it! I don't understand why people think he doesn't change his hairstyle, because he does. He doesn't need to do radical stuff like go blond to look different. He's Shah Rukh Khan! Even the smallest change makes a huge difference and becomes the talk of the town, rather world I should say, because his persona is so powerful. I think long hair suits him as much as any of his other looks have. Everyone's gonna want their hair the SRK way now," says scissor-happy Dilshad.

SRK is clearly and undoubtedly a 'cut' above the rest! Other than creating a different look for himself off screen, SRK's also creating a point of difference in his films. His next release, Chak De, sees him in a new avtar - not the romancing SRK we have seen of late, but a driven and passionate coach of a girls' hockey team. Chak De is releasing in August, just around Independence Day - patriotic fervour at its best - the SRK way.

SRK statue to be unveiled at French museum

Sun Jul 15, 2007 10:38 am
By IBNLive.com

Mumbai: It was an evening of much chaos. Nobody paid much attention to either filmmaker Mani Ratnam or producer Bharat Shah, as all eyes were on actor Shah Rukh Khan making his first public appearance after a long holiday in London.

He didn't bring gifts for his fans, but good news he had in plenty.

"I don't know if I should be saying this or it should be announced later but France's Grevin Museum, like Madam Tussaud's museum in London, are going to put my statue, which is a big honour. I am supposedly the only living Indian who will be there," he said.

Lest we forget, the occasion marked the music release of the new devotional film Jai Jagannatha, which will release in 15 Indian languages.

For anyone who thinks the chain-smoking, booze-endorsing superstar doesn't make the ideal guest of honour at such an event, we'll leave it to Shah Rukh himself to surprise you with a side of his that few are familiar with.

"I say only one prayer but my kids say all," said Shah Rukh. Judging by his ever-growing popularity, clearly that prayer has reached the Lord's ears.
