Shahrukh Khan team up with Leonardo DiCaprio!

Shahrukh Khan team up with Leonardo DiCaprio!: Shahrukh Khan, the superstar of Hindi cinema, is finally set to make a foray into Hollywood with a film titled Xtrme City, co-starring Leonardo DiCaprio.

The project will be jointly produced by Shahrukh and the acclaimed producer-director Martin Scorsese. Paul Schrader, the screenwriter of films like Taxi Driver and Raging Bull, will direct the movie.

The film’s screenplay is penned jointly by Schrader and SRK’s good friend and author Mushtaq Sheikh. Sheikh also confirms that Scorsese has gone through the script and liked it very much.

The project was discussed at length last year during the Berlin Film Festival where Shahrukh had gone with Mushtaq for the premiere of his film My Name Is Khan. Scorsese and DiCaprio too were there for their film Shutter Island.

The quartet, along with Schrader, met on the sidelines of the festival and discussed a possible collaboration between two of the biggest film producing industries in the world.

The result is Xtrme City that will have Shahrukh sharing the screen space with the Titanic star, DiCaprio.

Shahrukh Khan's 'Zor Ka Jhatka' show rejected on the boob tube

Shahrukh Khan's 'Zor Ka Jhatka' show rejected on the boob tube: It’s Shahrukh Khan who has got Zor Ka Jhatka, that too for the second time on boob tube.

The television show Zor Ka Jhatka hosted by Shahrukh and shot in Argentina has been getting dismally low TRPs ever since it went on air on Feb 1. It’s TVR on the opening day was 2.6, which is shockingly low for any show hosted by a major Bollywood star on TV. But more shocking is how the show’s TVR has dipped steadily to the range of 1.3 to 0.8.

This is the second time Shahrukh has faced rejection on the small screen after his show Kya Aap Panchvi Paas Se Tez Hai flopped three years ago.

In fact, Zor Ka Jhatka has got even lesser viewership than Rakhi Ka Insaaf.

Some feel that Shahrukh has not fully committed himself to the show. He did not fly to Argentina to shoot with the contestants but rather shot his portions in a studio. His shots were added to the Argentina shoot on the editing table to give the impression that he was on location.

Shahrukh Khan wants Shakira for 'Ra.One'!

Shahrukh Khan wants Shakira for 'Ra.One'!: Big plans for his big-budget film! Shahrukh Khan is leaving no stone unturned for his dream project Ra.One. First, SRK got Akon to shoot a special song for the film, then it was heard he wants Shakira. Now the star has Lady GaGa on his wishlist for Ra.One.

As per recent reports, Shahrukh has especially asked Akon to approach Gaga with the idea of doing a video for Ra.One. Akon is apparently close to Gaga because he is the man who discovered her and helped in launching her music career.

Given the legions of fans Lady Gaga has over the world, her nod to the special song for Ra.One could be a big scoop. Obviously, the publicity that comes along with it is a bonus.

On the other hand, the makers of Ra.One are also trying to rope in Latino pop sensation Shakira. It’s learned that if Akon has been asked to convince Gaga, director Anubhav Sinha and Shahrukh are also sending Shakira feelers for the same.

SRK’s Ra.One is set to release this October.

Film Director contest: Salman Khan wins, Shahrukh Khan lose?

Film Director contest: Salman Khan wins, Shahrukh Khan lose?: In what appears to be a covert contest of one-upmanship between Salman Khan and Shahrukh Khan the former has prevailed over the latter once again.

The plot of the Sallu-SRK cold war just got thicker as the Dabangg director Abhinav Kashyap, who was being wooed by SRK to direct his next home production, has reportedly decided to stick with Salman and focus on the Dabangg sequel.

Abhinav was recently approached by SRK and asked to pen a script that could be shaped into a pot-boiler a la Dabangg, to be produced by SRK. Likewise, Salman wanted Kashyap for the Dabangg sequel.

So the director was torn between the two Khans and there was even a rumour that he might tag up with SRK because he had his differences with Salman while filming Dabangg. But guess what? Kashyap has decided to remain loyal to Salman and Arbaaz Khan (producer), who gave him the first break. Meanwhile, SRK deals with the disappointment of having lost the chance to work with Kashyap soon. But then, there’s always a second time.

Shahrukh Khan in Valentine’s Day will be in jail for a film shoots

Shahrukh Khan in Valentine’s Day will be in jail for a film shoots: Come February 14, Shahrukh Khan, the badshah of onscreen romance, will be doing something very unromantic.

On Valentine’s Day, Shahrukh would be in jail.

“My Valentine's Day will be in jail since on that day I'll be shooting in a jail in Malaysia for a film,” the star is quoted as saying by a news agency.

What plans do other Bollywood stars have on Valentine’s Day?

Katrina Kaif doesn’t have any plan for Feb 14. She says she would be busy shooting.

Priyanka Chopra says any day could be Valentine’s Day if one has the love to express. She isn’t planning anything special for this Feb 14.

Deepika Padukone won’t be with her boyfriend Siddharth Mallya but shooting for director Prakash Jha’s film Aarakshan in Bhopal.

Kareena Kapoor, too, isn’t excited about Valentine’s Day. She says she has no plans.

Madhuri Dixit's Jhalak Dikhla Jaa beats Shahrukh Khan's Zor Ka Jhatka

Madhuri Dixit's Jhalak Dikhla Jaa beats Shahrukh Khan's Zor Ka JhatkaThere was not enough zor in Shahrukh Khan’s Zor Ka Jhatka as it was trumped by Madhuri Dixit’s Jhalak Dikhla Jaa 4.

With Madhuri on board the reality dance show Jhalak Dikhla Jaa is having its best season ever, and the show had opened with TRP rating of 5.6, in comparison Shahrukh’s Zor Ka Jhatka: Total Wipe Out has opened with a mere 2.6 ratings.

What’s more Big B’s Kaun Banega Crorepati season 4, had opened with 5.4 TRP and Salman Khan's Bigg Boss 4 had TRPs of 3.6 on day 1.

Reportedly, Shahrukh Khan is being paid Rs.20 crore to host the show, and the channel produces are confident about the show being a smash hit.

If the producers have their way, we may even see the witty SRK entertaining us with his one liners in season 2 of the show.

Ra.One in 3D: Shahrukh Khan's dream superhero project!

Ra.One in 3D: Shahrukh Khan's dream superhero project!: This year is going to be big for Shahrukh Khan. His dream superhero project Ra.One is reaching its post production stage and his Don 2 is also set for a year-end release. Now, we hear the actor is also planning to release his Ra.One in 3D.
Yes, some Hollywood studios have shown interest to convert Ra.One in 3D. Since the movie’s release date is apparently postponed to October because of the post-production work, the makers of Ra.One are also toying with the idea to release it in 3D.

“Even though we have shot in the standard live action format, we all think it would be cool to have the film in 3D,” a source close to the production house is quoted as saying by a daily.

Directed by Anubhav Sinha, the film has visual effects on par with the international standards. Shahrukh has invested a humungous amount to install the state-of-the-art machinery for the SFX in Ra.One. In the movie he himself plays a superhero, Kareena Kapoor gets to romance him, and Arjun Rampal is the evil man.

It’s heard that the movie’s VFX budget is of Rs 150 crore. Shahrukh will decide by April whether to come out with Ra.One in 3D or not.

What do you want from your favourite Khan?

Shahrukh Khan impressed with Salman Khan 'Dabangg's director!

Shahrukh Khan impressed with Salman Khan 'Dabangg's director!: Shahrukh Khan seems impressed with the director of Salman Khan’s blockbuster Dabangg. For he wants Abhinav Kashyap to direct a full-on masala entertainer for him.

At a recent award show, Shahrukh was seen doing Salman’s signature Dabangg dance on stage with Sonakshi Sinha. The superstar has loved Dabangg and now wants Kashyap for his home production. But there’s a hitch.

Kashyap is also committed to directing the sequel of Dabangg, which Salman wants to start soon to capitalize on the popularity of Chulbul Pandey. On the other hand, SRK has been having talks with Kashyap and has reportedly asked him to pen a script.

Which means the much-in-demand Kashyap is going to be torn between the two Khans.

Reports even suggest that Kashyap is more eager to work with SRK because he had his differences with Sallu during the making of Dabangg. Moreover, his fallout with Arbaaz Khan (producer of Dabangg) after the film’s super success has also strained their relationship, though the two have made up now.

Guess Kashyap will have to work overtime to keep both Salman and SRK happy.
