First Look : SRK's Happy New Year Poster Released

The first poster of "Happy New Year" Shah Rukh Khan's next venture is out now. The poster looks fun and we feel that it is mostly similar to what Prabhudeva's R...Rajkumar posters if one may say so. The animated feel seems to be the click of Bollywood now.

Produced by SRK's Red Chillies, the movie will see the reunion of SRK and Farah Khan. They had a mid time crisis which resented SRK from doing one of her previous flicks. Although we feel that Shahrukh was right by skipping the project.

The movie also features Abhishek Bachchan, Sonu Sood, Boman Irani and Vivaan Shah.

Deepika Padukone will be playing the lady love for Shahrukh Khan once again, after their well established success in "Chennai Express".

Indiatoday quotes that Farah Khan was excited with this project and is really having high hopes for it doing better than her previous disaster, Joker!

Talking about the film, Farah said, “My dream project ‘Happy New Year’ takes another step towards realisation with the first poster being launched today. I believe in cinema that entertains and with a dream cast like this we hope it will be the most entertaining film of the year. Shah Rukh and I have had a dream partnership always and with this our third collaboration we hope it will be a very HAPPY NEW YEAR indeed!” - from Indiatoday

Joker : Akshay Kumar Alien to the camp?

However hard the production house claims that it is a marketing strategy the truth doesn't hide - it comes out with full power. The recent absence of Akshay Kumar from the promotions of Joker has been much in news, the actor hasn't however commented on the truth but it is obvious and the camp is missing the lead actor as well. As with Ra.One, Shirish Kunder decided to tweet this as well!

Shirish had recently tweeted "A true leader takes 

responsibility for his team and leads them through thick and thin. Never abandons them and runs away."

As it is obvious this is aimed at Akshay Kumar - Shirish later deleted this tweet but the damage seems to be done. There was news that Akshay has fallen off with both Farah and Shirish and he has decided not to work any further with the team. 

Although Farah Khan had recently denied any such event and mentioned that this is just another marketing tactics by the producers and Akshay will join the crew at the right moment. She immediately did change the topic on to the movie and says that it is fun filled.

Joker is jointly produced by the UTV Motion Pictures, Akshay Kumar’s Hari Om Productions and Farah Khan-Shirish Kunder’s, Three’s Company Productions Pvt Ltd. 

The promotions are still on and recently the costumes worn by Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha was kept on auction, “Akshay and Sonakshi are a superhit pair who have helped many in their own ways and it is amazing that even their clothes can contribute for the welfare of society,” Farah added. “We will be giving the costumes to the agencies who will auction them for the benefit of animals. Given the popularity the two actors have, we are sure these costumes will fetch good money,” said Farah. The film releases on August 31.

Where Shirish is joining hands with SRK camp - he needs to also check with Akshay Kumar too and sort the issues if any with the actor and failure of this might lead to a nose dive at box office - as we still have the tiger roaring loud - so Joker will need Akshay Kumar to give the helping hand and stand tall when it releases this friday.

Shirish Kunder apologizes to SRK on twitter

After the much talked war between Shirish Kunder and Shah Rukh Khan it seems everything has cooled down. After SRK gave the indication to let bygones be bygones by promoting Joker, the movie which was supposedly the main reason for the fight between the two, Shirish is also seen trying to patch up with the Bollywood’s Baadshah Khan!

Shirish tweeted:

 

On Kunder’s apology, his wife, filmmaker Farah Khan was quoted as saying, “I’m proud of my husband. It takes a big heart to apologise.”

However according to some, this is a publicity stunt done by Kunder since his new movie Joker is going to be released on 31st of August.

It seems both Farah, Shahrukh & Shirish are trying to mend their friendship. First SRK was seen promoting Shirin Farhad Ki Nikal Padi, then Farah was seen visiting the superstar at his home Mannat where he shot a promotional video for her husband’s upcoming movie, Joker.

Buzz was that, Farah’s renewed closeness with her old friend didn’t go down well with Joker’s main lead Akshay Kumar. Apparently he was miffed with Farah since she roped SRK to promote the film. All the media attention went to SRK when it should have been to Akki and so he felt hurt and distanced by Farah and Shirish.

In January 2012, SRK allegedly slapped Shirish Kunder for making nasty comments on his movie Ra.One.  It was also reported that he followed the star wherever he went, including the washroom!

And this was when SRK got irritated and pinned him on a sofa, first trying to talk to him. But when Shirish continued to retort back, SRK slapped him.

So will Shah Rukh Khan accept Shirish’s apology or will ignore it thinking as one publicity stunt?

Joker Goes Hi-Tec - Akshay stays away from promotions!

Shirish Kunder's Joker is the next big release after Ek Tha Tiger, the movie will also see Akshay doing the well known comedy genre that he has mastered. Shirish Kunder who is happy with how the promotions are going on is now planning to launch the second trailer of the movie pretty soon. He has been working with international artists on creating the Hollywood style trailer for the movie. 

"I am currently making a second trailer of 'Joker' which will be laden with visual effects and many more things that we haven't disclosed so far," confirms Shirish Kunder.

The movie which has aliens as their highlight will show more of UFO's and Aliens in the second trailer that will get released soon. "Some very highly qualified technicians are working on this visually attractive trailer. Prime Focus is also working with me and they have branches in New York and London. Technicians from those centers are making sure this trailer is of international standards.

The idea is to do something different and woo audiences, like what we have been doing to promote the film so far," adds Shirish.

But even midst of the promotions - Akshay Kumar who plays the lead of the movie, is missing from the promotion events. For now its only the actresses who have took up the responsibility of movie promotions, we are seeing only Sonakshi Sinha and Chitrangada Singh doing the promotional events and it is very unlikely that the hero of the movie is missing. The rumors are spreading out between a fight with Akshay and Shirish!

But it seems that the rumors are nicely covered up, as Farah Khan came up with the excuse that this is just another marketing strategy. "It's a strategy, please don't go by what you are reading in the papers, it's somebody trying to do mischief. It's a strategy we have adopted," the 47-year-old said here in an interview.

"We have just seen a lot of them doing 'Rowdy Rathore' promotion, we didn't want our film to look the same. It's a very different film, it's a kids-friendly film. Our USP are the aliens and we want to play upon that," Farah said. (Is that an excuse?!)

Further she said that the movie is for family viewing, "It's for kids. After a very long time you'll see a film where parents can take their kids and they don't have to worry that something will come now, a kiss or sex or violence. It's very clean and entertaining film," Farah said.

Now its up to you that you believe Farah or the rumor - but our common sense says 'What The ...', if you go by the logic of Farah, then it would be tough for superstars like Shahrukh, Salman or Aamir to pair up with the same heroine again and do promotions together! As we all are aware how good a personality Shirish Kunder is, it wont be tough to find who is playing here. Shirish was earlier beaten up by Shahrukh Khan following a joke he broke on Ra.One.(news here)

Shahrukh’s cameo in Shirish Kunder’s Joker

We all know Shrish Kunder is all set for the release of his movie Joker starring Akshay Kumar, Sonakshi Sinha, Shreyas Talpade, Minisha Lamba. And there is a pleasant surprise for everyone.

Our very own Baadshah of Bollywood will be doing a cameo role to promote the movie. Yes you heard it right. After the infamous brawl between Shrish and SRK it is being said that both have kept their differences aside and patched up.

Strangely Joker was the film that was the main reason of SRK-Farah fall out.

 It appears Farah Khan had gone to meet SRK to discuss their new venture ‘Happy New Year’ at his house Mannat. SRK is supposed to leave later this week for the shoot of his YRF’s untitled film. So Farah thought of discussing about her new project as early as possible. After a long conversation both started discussing about Joker and the aliens. Farah asked SRK if he wish to see them and he agreed. Therefore she asked her production team to bring those aliens to Mannat.

Shahrukh obliged her by shooting a funny video with the aliens of Joker. Despite being busy with a photo shoot with Daboo Ratnani at Mannat, the actor did the video simultaneously for Farah.

SRK said: "This is not somebody else's film. Its' Farah's and Shirish's. They've been my friends for years. I'm her friend which is why I'm doing this, why would I do it otherwise? She requested me and I think it's an interesting concept."

Talking about meeting the Aliens he added "I am very happy that Karela and Kaddu have come to my house. I'm non-vegetarian and Karela and Kaddu aren't among my favourite foods, so fortunately for them I won't eat them when they visit."

When asked Farah how she felt she said, “Shahrukh is  family and it was very sweet of him to take some time out for Joker."

The promos of the movie and the head-turning item number of Chintrangada Singh is gaining rave reviews from the audiences.

The movie is going to be released on 31st august.

Joker comes out with a U certificate

There will be no cuts no trims and the movie Joker will be on screens as shot by Shirish Kunder. Now it has become a rare news where a movie fails to get an "A" certificate. There has been movies who wanted to receive the certificate but Shirish Kunder is not in the league. He was super excited about the fact that his movie came out with a U certificate.

"#JOKER Update: Censor gives `U` Certificate with no cuts. Calls it a clean family entertainer they have seen in a long time," Kunder tweeted.

The movie which stars Akshay Kumar, Sonakshi Sinha, Shreyas Talpade, Minissha Lamba in the lead roles will hit screens on August 31st.

The movie however hasn't been able to create  the buzz which it had done with Rowdy Rathore or similar Akshay movies, the songs are still not hitting the high positions on charts and this could ofcourse be a worry for the director and the producer. (video songs of Joker)

Akshay Kumar plays the role of Raj/Agasthya who's working on a top secret project for creating a device to communicate with aliens. The film revolves around a village Paglapur that didn't find a place in either India or Pakistan at the time of partition.

The village had the distinction of housing the largest mental asylum in the region and in the melee that ensued during partition, the asylum inmates broke loose, drove away the villagers and established their own republic in Paglapur. And that's how it stayed for the next 60 years! While the world outside changed, Paglapur remained isolated, with no electricity, television or sanity!

The story sounds like typical Akshay Kumar version on how he would act, but we will wait few more weeks on how good it makes an impact on audience. The duo of Akshay and Sonakshi has been known to do wonders and their onscreen chemistry has been praised a lot in Rowdy Rathore.

Aliens resembles sea creature Davy Jones from Pirates of the Caribbean series, another resembles the aliens shown in recent blockbuster Men In Black 3. One of the dwarf alien in the Joker's poster, resembles the famous ET - the extra terrestrial.

There has been lot of criticism for Shirish on the graphics and aliens of his choice, the famous one's were from : 

 "Aliens don't wear zippers and LED lights Mr Kunder. Nakal k lie b akal chaie :p (you need brains to cheat)," posted Annu Agarwal on Facebook. "Just saw the poster of Joker...what were they thinking? shameless... stop copying Hollywood," tweeted Hanish Jindal.

The movie is also said to be showing Farah Khan in a cameo, much before her SFKTNP (Shirin Farhad Ki To Nikal Padi) -  "It was a totally different experience for me to be directed by my husband. It was a last minute decision to add the portion, where I play myself in the film."  says Farah Khan.

A source said that, "Actually Farah Khan had come to meet Abhishek at Jalsa. Around the same time, Shah Rukh Khan was incidentally at Hrithik Roshan's pad, which is a stone's throw away. Since Shah Rukh had only congratulated the parents and not seen the baby, he drove down to meet her."

SRK at Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi Music Launch

It has been time and again proved that in Bollywood nobody is a permanent friend or a permanent enemy and the latest to follow this philosophy is, SRK and Farah Khan.  We all know Farah Khan is all set to make her acting Debut in Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi‎, opposite Boman Irani. But it came as a pleasant surprise when we saw Shahrukh Khan present at the music launch of this upcoming flick.

 Shah Rukh had come to unveil the third poster of 'Shirin Farhad...’ in which Farah Khan and Boman Irani have recreated the magic of the characters - Simran and Raj of the movie 'Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge'

 Shah Rukh praised Farah and said: "She is one of the most finest and talented director we have with us. I thank Farah for giving me some nicest moment in her films."

He then along with Boman and Farah performed a jig on stage, where the superstar played Raj of "DDLJ", Farah played Simran and Boman played Amrish Puri.

It was good to see these thick pals turned arch rivals trying to put aside their misunderstandings and be friends again.

Not so long ago the animosity between Farah & SRK had been one of the hottest topics of the town. Since the time Farah Khan chose Akshay Kumar over SRK in Tees Maar Khan things had turned sour between these best friends. A year later the most scandalous incident took place which shook the entire industry. Shahrukh Khan slapped Shirish Kunder, Farah’s better half, at a party spoiling the hopes of their reconciliation. Back then in a text to the media Farah said "Shah Rukh has always told me that physical abuse is the worst way to sort out a problem. It means the attacker has either a personal or professional crisis going on. It saddens me to see him doing the same."

Later reports said that Sajid Khan and Sajid Nadiadwala intervened and played an important role as peacemakers in the whole process, eventually mending their friendship. SRK’s presence in Shirin Farhad’s music launch can be considered as a good sign. Hope it continues to be the same forever!

Sonakshi and Parineeti out of question - Farah Khan

Juggling between her acting and directorial jobs, Farah Khan is too busy but finds time to clarify the rumors. The next venture of Farah, Happy New Year is massive one and it already has Shah Rukh Khan leading from the front. But the choreographer turned director turned actor has still not announced the leading lady. The opportunity was explored by Tabloids by mentioning that the movie will see Sonakshi Sinha or Parineeti Chopra, the young talents of Bollywood playing opposite SRK. But the director has come forward to clarify this and says  that both are not going to be leading from the front.

"We are not in talks with them (Sonakshi and Parineeti). We have not approached any one of them yet. I do meet Sonakshi regularly, she is beautiful and lovely. But we have not yet taken a call," Farah told PTI in an exclusive interview. 

"Shah Rukh has just come back from London so we need to sit and work out figure out as to who is right for that role. It is a big role and then there is only one heroine in the film," she said. 

The 47-year-old choreographer-filmmaker said she had planned ‘Happy New Year’ (HNY) even before her directorial debut ‘Main Hoon Na’ and was preparing to HNY immediately after ‘Om Shanti Om’.

"I am very excited. We are hoping to create the magic that we did with our earlier films. We have SRK and Boman Irani in the film and the other cast is not finalised yet. I can't talk much about the project," Farah Khan said.  As she is hoping for a third successful run for her outing with SRK.

"There are like four heroes and one heroine. Boman is there in the film. We have SRK, Boman and two more heroes. Boman is a full hero now (referring to Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi where he plays the lead)," she said. 

The movie is likely to see Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham in the other two leads, but Farah failed to confirm the other casts and crew.

The shooting for Happy New Year will begin from December this year. 

Meanwhile the director is happy about her debut in Shirin Farhad Ki To Nikal Padi, she says "If somebody is making a film where the hero and heroine are 40 plus and it is a romantic comedy, is a great thing to do. For a 47-year-old mother of three, married, making a debut as a lead heroine is a big thing. Looking at this it feels that Indian cinema is changing. I think everyone should be proud of this thing,"

We will wait and see in a few more weeks as to how this goes!

Sanjay, Farah - calls - SRK fly's in

The one actor who has been quite particular about his gang of friends is always ready to treat friends special. So when Sanjay Leela Bhansaali and Farah Khan invited Shah Rukh Khan for the audio and poster release of 'Shirin Farhad Ki To Nikal Padi', SRK was more than happy to fly in for the event. (latest videos of SFKTNP here)

SRK's bonding with Sanjay Leela Bhansaali started with his movie 'Devdas' the one which was ranked among top 10 movies of the millenium (news here). The friendship was marked as quite unnatural as one was the King of romance and other was the same of classics. But the duo has kept the relationship warm and although SRK did not get to work again with Sanjay their friendship still continued through the years. So when Sanjay's sister Bela is making a directorial debut with SFKTNP, Sanjay decided to call in SRK for the audio and poster launch.

There were more reasons for SRK to come in as his best buddy Farah Khan was making her debut into acting with the movie and for this occasion, SRK was insisting to be there, and it is said that SRK had cancelled all his commitments to be part of the event. 

"Yet another reason for inviting SRK was the fact that the poster that was to be launched was inspired by his old superhit, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge with actor Kajol" adds in our source. Talking about it, Farah says, “I was excited when I heard about the concept of the teaser posters that was about love stories, DDLJ stands out as one of his iconic love stories. This is the best launch a newcomer could have ever gotten.”

SRK had different thought about this spoof though, "I have seen spoofs of all movies created by others but I never thought one would ever think of making a spoof on DDLJ," said Shah Rukh Khan. The 1995 blockbuster romantic film, DDLJ had Shah Rukh and Kajol in the lead.

Shah Rukh along with Boman and Farah performed a jig on stage, where the megastar played Raj of DDLJ, Farah played Simran and Boman played Amrish Puri.

"I think love can happen at any age. There is no right time and right place for love. It can happen any time," said Shah Rukh Khan.

"We have seen love stories made with young teenagers but this one is different. I have seen the posters and promo of this film and I really loved it. It is a marvellous love story. I am sure this film will rock. I am sure people will connect with this film," he added.

Talking further about Farah, he says "She is one of the most finest and talented director we have with us. I thank Farah for giving me some nicest moment in her films."

In midst of all these celebrations, Sanjay Leela Bhansali was not present, and the reason for that was ... (read more here )

KJO - Bhansali Fight revived?

One the king of romantic genre and another the master of classy movies. The fight was eminent and long termed, but the presence of Bhansali on the birthday party for Karan Johar had buried the rumors about their rivalry, but it seems that all is not well! The two had their differences and kept to their stand for the past long years. It was Bhansali who decided to end the saga and went ahead with the friendship gifts.

But the recent absence of Bhansali at the promotion party of 'Shirin Farhad Ki To Nikal Padi' has started out the rumor of the fight. The debut movie of Bela Saigal, which is co-produced by Bhansali and Eros, was made the arena to display his anger. 

As the media is aware, Bhansali is close with the director and Boman - Farah, so the only reason why he wasn't arriving was the presence of  Karan Johar on the list. And there is a stronger reason for this to be believed as one had snapped the 'Heroine' from another!

There is speculations that Bhansali is not happy with Kareena and Karan as Kareena had walked out of Bhansali's 'Ram Leela' citing the dates issue (news here) and she had joined Karan Johar's crew for his next production. That seems to have miffed the producer-filmmaker. 

But a friend of the filmmaker attributed the absence to the music recording of his next, Ram Leela. "If you notice, Bhansali attends only the launch and first look events for his films. He never comes for the other promotions," added the friend.

A source revealed that it was Farah who invited Kjo for the poster launch. "Farah has been trying hard to reach out to a larger audience with her debut venture. She invited Karan. Also, the poster recreated the Kuch Kuch Hota Hai poster, a Dharma Productions' venture," added the source.

Dressed as Rahul and Anjali of Karan's 1998 blockbuster, Farah and Boman enacted a small scene. Bela and Karan were also a part of the act. But Bhansali, who had been a part of the first look launch of the film along with Madhuri Dixit, missed it.

'I want to Fakht You' leaked! Shirish Miffed

We like the timing when a sudden unofficial releases or 'leaks' happen with movies which are just about reaching its official song release. We had seen this with Ra.One and now we have a leak from the Shirish Kunder's 'Joker' camp. The song 'I want to Fakht you' was leaked on internet yesterday. 

From what we hear of the song, its not so superb as Chammak Challo, just feels like 'Chikini Chameli' and the song continues with the same trend. The shots of Chitrangada Singh in Lavani dress is also a similarity if one can draw more. 

The camp confirms that the song has been changed and the word 'Fakht' has been changed to 'Just' to avoid further controversies on release. The word 'Fakht' was from Marathi. This is apparently giving director Shirish Kunder sleepless nights. Talking about it he says, “This song is the highlight of the film which is picturised on Chitrangda. After a special screening with a focussed audience group, we got the feedback that the word fakht should be changed to compliment the ‘U’ certificate our film has got. These things happen when usually we have a crowd sequence being shot. This leak must have happened either from the recording studio or from one of the dancers, who usually have the songs to rehearse their steps. We are still trying to figure out who the culprit is and then we will see how we can take this forward. We want to ensure strict punishment is meted out to the culprit since it is illegally done.”

"This is an older version the song that is in the film. It's been a horrible morning, with people texting and calling me about it. I woke up to these messages, and I am yet to see what is online, but this is in bad taste. That too, just when the movie is ready, and we're ready to talk about it," rages Shirish.

Farah Khan, the producer of the film, says she can't believe this is happening to her all over again. "I had a heart attack in the morning when I saw the texts and tweets. This happened during Tees Maar Khan also, when both the songs and their videos were leaked online. Where the hell is this coming from? It is difficult to find out, and this is an old version. Our music hasn't even been officially launched, and you all can be cynical and say this is a publicity stunt, but for us, this is more of a loss than a gain. What if someone copies the song? I have learnt the hard way, and I don't even know how to stop this now. And if we wanted controversy, we would have let the song stay in the film. We ourselves removed it, saying this is a children's film and there should be nothing controversial to it. Wait, let me go and see it," she says.

 "Thank God, it's a small mercy that at least, the video is not there. This means someone has put together the stills of the film with the older version of the song and uploaded it. This is just not done." says Farah after viewing the song on youtube.

The latest tweets are more interesting : 

Sunidhi Chauhan: "@ShirishKunder@TheFarahKhan is this true??Our song from JOKER has been leaked?Can't believe it..We just recorded those lines the other day:(," she wrote on her Twitter account.

"What the F@[±&!!! Song leaked?! I'm calling the Plumber," Kunder.

"@SunidhiChauhan5 the old version has bn leaked..with "I want fakht you"..ur still sounding great! Trying 2 do damage control since morning," Farah Khan replied to Sunidhi.

"I guess chori ka fruit is sweeter.;just got 2 know that leaked song of Joker is trending.main hasoon ya rouooun??" Farah Khan's another tweet  read.

Happy New Year - SRK with 8 Packs??

Source: Uploaded by user via India on Pinterest

Farah Khan is not letting the Romance King go do an easy job, she has done it earlier and she is planning to do it bigger this time. Shahrukh who had increased his gym hours to get the six-pack look in Om Shanthi Om, directed by Farah Khan, will be see in the ultimate 8-pack look for her upcoming movie 'Happy New Year'. Atleast that is what the plans are currently for Farah. 

A source close to the film’s unit says, “Farah has conveyed to SRK that they need to go a step further as the audience expects more from them as a team. SRK has agreed to work hard and get an eight-pack by the time the film goes on the floors around September.”

The story behind him removing his shirt in OSO goes like this, SRK was supposed to remove his shirt and act in Main Hoon Na, but at the time he evaded such acts and promised Farah to do it the next time and when Farah came up with OSO, he showed it out with six-packs on!

Although the director herself has two minds on this, “It’s been five years since he sported a six-pack, so of course we need to go beyond that. I need to present him differently. We will surprise the audience again. But until SRK says it’s okay to talk, I can’t confirm his look,” says the director.

SRK is co-producing the film with Farah. She says, “We make a good team. Our last fight has made our bond grow stronger.”

SRK is currently out in London romancing the two bollywood beauties, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma. The movie directed by Yash Chopra, is still in progress and unfortunately unnamed!

John Abraham into the pack?

The movie 'Happy New Year' is filled with stars as it will see Abhishek Bachchan and Boman Irani coming together again with SRK and there is a rumor that John Abraham will be joining the crew. As Farah plays the safe game, she doesn't want her movie to lack fun. 

A source close to the actor said, "Farah wanted someone with a very cool body language for the fourth male lead. She had been toying with the idea of casting John for a long time. The deal was sealed a few days before John flew off to Turkey to shoot for ‘Race 2’."

As for John, "He is very happy he will be working with Shah Rukh for the first time. And he is excited he will share screen space with Abhishek, with whom he enjoyed great camaraderie during the making of ‘Dostana’ and has been good friends with ever since," said the source.

The decisions are still said to be on boards, but it should be soon announced as the party is coming.

Watch out !!

Boman Irani On Kissing : Mallika Sherawat is a nursery rhyme!

Now there can't be any other witty tactics than this. Boman Irani, who is pairing up with Farah Khan, the famous choregrapher-director for their upcoming movies 'Shirin Farhad Ki Nikal Padi' is happy about his outing. He says they both had a good time and he just adds the tease at the end of the press meet by saying "“Kissing scenes? Oh, there are lots of kissing scenes. We rehearsed kissing all the time,” says the 52-year-old, during a recent visit to the Capital.

The movie is about two 45 year old getting close to each other and ending up in marriage. Trailer of the movie has already been released (Trailer Here) and the characters are extremely hilarious. When asked if it a remake of any older day flick, he says "No. Not at all.”. The movie is going through post production and the actors are already starting at the promotions of the movie. 

When asked about kissing scenes, the reporters asked him if he was going to be a competition to the movie 'Khwaish'(2003) which had set a record for liplocks and Mallika Sherawat holds it safe,  Irani says, “Mallika Sherawat is like a nursery rhyme compared to them (the kisses in his film).” The actor will also be seen wearing only a towel, in a scene in the film. 

Was this inspired from actor Ranbir Kapoor’s towel scene from Saawariya (2007)? “It’s not that. In Saawariya, Ranbir Kapoor had his back to the camera. I don’t have my back to the camera. I face the audience in the towel,” he adds. And are these the reasons why he decided to call this film his dirty picture? “I never said that. The press said it. It’s a very innocent picture. It’s about two 45-year-old’s falling in love. How much more innocent can it be?” says Irani. 

When asked about his experience on working with Farah, he says “It was quite an experience to work with Farah Khan, who went on and on about how nervous she was. But she had no reason to substantiate that fear. She was completely enjoying the attention, and the camera, and she just took to it like fish to water.” 

On the contrary, Farah Khan was nervous about the movie and she says that her brother was making fun when the movie was announced and her friends were nervous about her acting. She even adds that her brother made a long comedy scene about her and Boman.

But ever since the release of the movie trailer, things have said to change, "Before the promo came, my friends and brother were laughing at me. In fact my brother joked a lot about Boman and me. He had made a long joke book about Shirin Farhad. He said it would be a single screen film," Farah says. "After seeing the promos, the reaction has been stupendous. It is unbelievable. Actresses, actors, my industry friends and normal people have been telling me that they are dying to see the film," she said.

So the comedy flick will be one which is eagerly awaited!

Rowdy Feels SRK is more Rowdy!

Finally the tiff between actors Akshay Kumar and Shah Rukh Khan settles down and they have opened up to speak about each other. Its once again a good sight after the long separation between the actors. Thanks again to the IPL for making this happen as it was in one of the matches that the situation got settled. Now Akshay is all words for Shahrukh, he feels that SRK does a better action movie than himself. He also appreciates the pain that actors like SRK or Saif takes in to put together an action movie and he has nothing but all respect for the actors.

A source explains, "Akshay was at the pavilion watching the match when Shah Rukh came to him they had a bit of chat exchanged hugs and they did a good conversation for 10 minutes and separated. SRK did not forget to invite Akshay to join him at his house the next day". Akshay was also seen at Mannat, the grandeur house of SRK the following day. The tiff happened when Akshay Kumar joined the crew of 'Teez Maar Khan', which was originally offered to SRK but following a difference in opinion on the role, he skipped it. SRK had found it bad that Akshay did not mention to him about the joining of crew, this is the strongest rumor about the tiff. Teez Maar Khan was again the cause for the fight between SRK and Farah Khan, the long time friend and director of the movie.

The issues with Farah had got settled long time earlier but Akshay was still not to be found in the company. But things have now changed up. When media caught up with Akshay on the promotions of Rowdy Rathore, he was commenting on SRK too, "When a gut-wrenching action film that you have spilt blood for doesn't get appreciated, it's a grave let down for any actor. That's why I have nothing but great respect for actors like Saif and Shah Rukh. Their action scenes have been more than supreme," says the Rowdy Rathore actor, seemingly referring to films like Don 2 (2011), RA.ONE (2011) and Agent Vinod (2012).

He also appreciated the crew at Rowdy Rathore, "I salute every single character in Rowdy Rathore. Right from the action stunts to the songs, none of it has been an easy ride for us. We have had some rough situations, but every drop of sweat has been worth it, and now we just pray it gets the appreciation it deserves," he says. "Prabhudheva is a masala genius and I would really do anything to have the pleasure of working with him again."

Akshay is currently juggling his dates and ask him how he does this he says "First of all, I take my mother's blessings every morning. And secondly, you can't imagine how annoyed I get when I don't have any work to do." with the trade mark Akki smile!

Sheila ki jawani COPIED !!!!

Vishal Dadlani, music director of Tees Mar Khan had recently tweeted that, "This guy, +31613566735, has been harassing Shekhar, Sunidhi, Farah, me, ever since 'Sheila' came out. He's very irritating. Time for payback! This guy is utterly nuts. See if he can take it! I had no choice but to let him see how it feels. He's a psycho!"

The phone belongs to a person named Prem Marhe who is a singer-composer-producer, based at Netherlands and whose several (adult) videos are posted on youtube.

When he asked as to why he was harassing Shekhar, Sunidhi Chauhan, Farah Khan and Vishal Dadlani, he said that, "These people copied the words, the concept, dance moves and even the dress from my three videos, which are on youtube. So, I will harass Farah, Vishal, Sunidhi and Shekhar for life! These people have stolen my work, so they will have to pay the price!"

He said that, "I called Farah and told her "didi why did you steal my concept and used it as Sheila Ki Jawani" and she abused me, using all kinds of four-letter words in Hindi and I replied in the same vein. My experiences with Vishal, Shekhar and Sunidhi were similar too!" and added, "I was also booked for money laundering and for beating street fighters and gang leaders. I want justice and I am not scared of anything or anybody!"

SRK in Farah's next

After the tiff between SRK and Shirish Kunder, Shahrukh Khan and Farah Khan will soon come together. 

Shah Rukh Khan and Farah Khan have decided to work again together after five long years. They will be seen in the movie "Happy New Year" which will be directed by Farah Khan. Their last release together was Om Shanti Om in the 2007 which was a super duper hit.

The best buddies parted ways personally and professionally a few years back when King Khan kept Shirish's film hanging for five years, before deciding that he wouldn't be doing it. Farah took it personally. And the differences increased when she cast Akshay Kumar in "Tees Maar Khan" and announced it without informing Shah Rukh. Things got worse when Shirish posted sarcastic comments about the film RA.One on his social networking page after the release of the movie. After the fight SRK had with Farah's husband Shirish Kunder at Sanjay Dutt's party in February, the two patched up. They even met a few times at home after that. It was during one of Farah's visits to Mannat that they talked about working together again. Before SRK left for a 40-day schedule to London for his next film, Farah narrated the script and he instantly said yes.

Farah even went to London for two days recently to seal the dates and complete other formalities. The film is being touted as the baap of "Main Hoon Naa" and will be a wholesome entertainer.

They are expected to announce the film once Shah Rukh returns from London.

Chithrangadha Singh to do an Item number!

Chitangadha Singh will turn into an item girl for the first time in the upcoming movie by Shirish Kunder, which is being picturized over Sonakshi Sinha and Akshay Kumar, and the film is named as Joker. The director plans to make the item number very raunchy and is said to be choreographed by his wife and pronounced director and choreographer, Farah Khan.

The competition of this item number will be against the heroine of the movie Sonakshi Sinha, who is also said to be doing a hot song in the movie and is already being tagged as the hottest song for 2012. When compared to Chitangadha's song, Sonakshi will be doing more grace to the hot number where as Chitangadha's song will be more sexy. 

Chitangadha is also sharing screenspace in the movie and not just stopping for the cameo.

Director Shirish Kunder said, "Kaafirana is essentially a rustic song with a raunchy flavour to it. We wanted a fresh yet sensual face, and not the usual, go-to item girls of today. Also, Chitrangda hasn`t done an item song before, so the novelty value is very high. She was exactly what we were looking for.”
