Shahrukh Khan: Public show their thumbs down to King Khan

Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar and Salman Khan are some of the A-list Bollywood celebs who have taken a leap into the word of television and have had a decent impact with their shows which have been hit. However, the same cannot, unfortunately, be said of the King Khan. Shahrukh Khan, who has enthralled the audience with his films over the years, has been rejected by the audience not once but twice on the small screen. His show ‘Zor Ka Jhatka’ has been shown thumbs down by the public and this is the 2 nd time that SRK has licked failure in the telly business . Earlier, his show ‘Kya Aap Panchvi Paas Se Tez Hain, failed to lure the viewers some 3 years back. ‘Zor Ka Jhatka’, that has been shot in Argentina and anchored by Shahrukh Khan, has registered abysmally low TRPs ever since it began airing on 1 st February. Its opening TVR was just 2.6 which is pretty low for a show that is hosted by a major celeb. However, shockingly, the TVR has fallen further over the weeks to a range of 1.3 to 0.8. The show has garnered even lower TRPs than Rakhi Sawant’s ‘ Rakhi Ka Insaaf’. Perhaps, it’s high time that Shahrukh pulls up his socks and does some introspection.

Shahrukh Khan-Sajid Nadiadwala come together for 2 States

The undisputed king of Bollywood, Shahrukh Khan and filmmaker Sajid Nadiadwala are coming together for the screen adaptation of Chetan Bhagat's 'Two States'. Though, the movie bosses are yet to make it official, sources say that it is almost confirmed. Sajid Nadiadwala, who is gearing up for five big movies in the next 12 months, including Hrithik Roshan starrer movie, refused to reveal about the projects. He said, "I cannot reveal details on Shahrukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan's film right now. We are actively working on them.” However, the proposed SRK starrer film is directed by Vishal Bharadwaj. Meanwhile, Sajid Nadiadwala has signed Akshay Kumar for Housefull 2 , Shahid Kapoor for Heer Ranjha and Salman Khan for Kick .

Katrina Kaif, Sonakshi Sinha and Zarine: Protégés of Salman Khan

Actors like Aamir Khan, Shahrukh Khan and Salman Khan have been in the film industry for over 20 years and can be called the veteran stars of Bollywood. Hence, it’s no surprise that they can often be seen helping younger actors out or even launching their careers. Salman, in this regard, can be called the reigning Godfather because he has, of late, been playing the mentor to a slew of actresses. Some of his protégés are: 1 . Katrina Kaif: Katrina, who is the ruling princess of box office, had started off with a very forgettable and obnoxious film called ‘Boom’. But it was owing to her then-boyfriend Salman Khan’s aid that she got a big launch pad in the film ‘Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya’ following which there was no turning back. 2 . Zarine Khan: Zarine, a fatter version of Katrina (and hence the name ‘Fatrina’), was also under the wings of Salman during her debut flick ‘Veer’. However, that film , being a dud, she couldn’t make a career out of it. 3 . Sonakshi Sinha: Sonakshi was clearly not only mentored by Salman but also egged by him to splash into Bollywood. She was a tad inhibitive about getting into films but, on insistence by Salman, got an explosive debut in the film ‘Dabangg’. And now she is bagging in films after films like ‘Race 2’, ‘Joker’ and ‘ Dabangg 2 ’. 4 . Sneha Ullal: Though, she has faded into oblivion, it must be remembered that it was Salman who hunted her down and gave her a launch pad in ‘Lucky’. But, as of now, she is best remembered as the girl who looked like Aishwarya Rai

Shahrukh Khan: Will he make ‘2 States’ a success like Aamir?

Aamir Khan had worked in ‘3 Idiots’ and thanks to his powerful screen presence, he helped make the film a bumper hit. ‘3 Idiots’ was based loosely on the popular novel by Chetan Bhagat titled ‘Five Point Someone.’ And now, it is actor Shahrukh Khan who shall be slipping into the character created by Chetan Bhagat. Film maker Sajid Nadiadwala is making the screen adaptation of Bhagat’s newest novel ‘2 States’. Though, the bosses haven’t released any official confirmatory statement but reports suggest that the deal has been finalised. And the buzz is that he has already roped in Shahrukh Khan to play the lead actor. But he is preferring to stay mum about it. “ I cannot reveal details on Shahrukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan’s film right now. We are actively working on them”, Sajid cites. ( Meanwhile, he is also reportedly in talks to do another film with Hrithik Roshan). So, will Shahrukh be able to emulate the success of Aamir? Will the Badshah Khan deliver a spectacular performance in the garbs of a North Indian guy falling for a South Indian? Or will SRK go one step ahead and deliver a bigger hit than Mr. Perfectionist? Only time will decided the final fate…….But certainly, it won’t be a surprise if the King Khan goes on to shatter Aamir’s record

AAMIR HONOURED TO BE ON BERLIN FILM FEST JURY

Aamir Khan is excited to play villain in ” Dhoom 3″. The superstar Wednesday said “Dhoom” was a great franchise to work in even though he initially didn’t think he would fit in. “I have recently signed ‘Dhoom 3′. I liked the script very much. When I had watched ‘Dhoom’, I liked it a lot. I enjoyed the music and the whole attitude. It’s a very fun film. I really liked it. I never thought I would fit in this kind of film,” Aamir told reporters at a press meet here. Victor Acharya, who wrote “Dhoom” and ” Dhoom 2″ is the writer-director of “Dhoom 3″. The earlier installments were directed by Sanjay Gadhvi and starred Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra. “When I heard the story from Victor, I really enjoyed it. Very well-written script, very enjoyable. It’s a great franchise and I am happy to be part of it. I am also looking forward to work with Abhishek and Uday,” Aamir said. “It’s true that for the first time I’m doing a negative role, an anti-hero in the mainstream film. I liked my role and all the characters are very well-written. Actually, in between I did another negative role in an offbeat film ’1947 Earth’,” said Aamir. This is the second time Aamir is working with Yash Raj Films after “Fanaa” in 2006. “I have worked with Yash Raj and I have a very comfortable relation with them,” he said. The actor said Victor and producer Aditya Chopra are yet to decide the actress opposite him. While “ Dhoom” starred John Abraham as villain, “Dhoom 2″ saw Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai sizzle too. Victor Acharya’s debut “Tashan” (2008) fared badly at the box office but that didn’t deter Aamir from signing his film. “I think he is a very talented director. One shouldn’t decide a director’s capacity with the fate of any one of his films. I have full faith in him,” Aamir said.

'Sallu, SRK face to face at Aamir's bash'

Aamir Khan has done something that will certainly raise a lot of eyebrows. He is extremely fond of his bhanja, Imran Khan , for whom he is hosting a wedding reception party at Taj Land's End on February 5. The party will be special for how many warring factions will be under one roof though. Aamir has personally invited sibling rivals Mukesh and Anil Ambani. If that is not enough, he has personally invited Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan; everyone knows the equation between these two. A source says, "Aamir has always wanted Salman and Shah Rukh to patch up. If you recall, he spent the entire night shuttling between Mannat (SRK's residence) and Galaxy (Salman's residence) when their fight took place at Katrina Kaif's birthday party two years ago. This could be just the occasion he might go the extra mile and make them warm up to one another." And what if either of them don't attend or come at different timings? "How can that be ascertained now?" said the source. "Of course, most people from the industry have been invited. Add this to Imran and Avantika's close family members and the guest list looks rather impressive." Come to think of it, it's isn't as if Aamir and SRK as the best of buddies. But then again, this is patch-up season...
