You can't keep up with Shah Rukh Khan: Kanika Dhillon

Screenwriter Kanika Dhillon, who has co-written Shah Rukh Khan's Ra.one, has now turned author. She's credited with SRK's catchy dialogue from the film — "Other heroes wear a mask, I wear a heart."

Kanika started out working as an assistant director to Farah Khan, on Om Shanti Om, and then moved on to Red Chillies's Billu Barber, which was directed by Priyadarshan. So, how's it having King Khan as a boss? "Well, Shah Rukh Khan is like an encyclopedia. His knowledge and sharp mind keeps everyone on their toes. You cannot keep up with his pace, but he is patient and gracious enough to help, gives you a chance and a platform to flourish and, most importantly, if he believes in you, he will stand by you, no matter what others have to say."

Sanjay Dutt invited SRK for Dinner

Sanjay Dutt had invited both Shah Rukh Khan and his wife Gauri for dinner because, he was little bit busy at Manaayata's surprise birthday bash. It seems that, he wanted to avoid a conflict between Shah Rukh and Salman Khan, so he left out the former. What we're more interested in is Gauri Khan.

SRK chucks performance, instead teaches dance to audience at IIFA

Shah Rukh Khan never fails to charm! Even if his knee injury restrained him from putting on his usual high-voltage performance, the Bollywood badshah chose to make his audience dance to his steps, and Salman Khan's too!

“If I can't dance, I'll make sure everyone dances here in Toronto tonight,” he said as he spoke to the over 20,000-strong audience at the Roger's Centre for the 12th International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) awards ceremony on Saturday night.

The 45-year-old, who kept making off-and-on appearances on stage during the event, was the grand finale performer. Though his performance started with a bang with the peppy number 'Say shava shava', but within a minute it ended leaving fans disappointed.

Little did anyone know that Shah Rukh had more in store for his fans.

“Today, I'll teach you guys different techniques used in Bollywood dancing,” he told his fans.

He took the help of choreographer Shiamak Davar's troupe members in getting thousands of people dancing in the stadium, a key landmark in Toronto.

Teaching his fans how to sway to 'Say shava shava', Shah Rukh suggested the fans to presume they had to 'pull the flush and knock the door'.

Shah Rukh threw another surprise when he chose the title track of his friend-turned-foe Salman Khan's 'Dabangg' for the activity. He even imitated the typical Salman step wherein he keeps his hands inside the pants' pockets, and moves them side to side.

“This step was made because the trousers were made extremely lose,” he quipped.

Aamir's 'Khandaala' and Jeetendra's 'Dhal gaya din...' were also on Shah Rukh's list of dance numbers to be taught. He had colourful hankerchieves and brooms as props for his dance class!

Trust Shah Rukh to engage his audience like no one does.

The audience was, of course, more than elated.

“This gesture of Shah Rukh of teaching us dance steps was very cool. We felt like a part of the whole celebration, and not just spectators,” Riddhima Roy, a 20-year-old said.

A foreigner said: 'It's a great way to learn Bollywood dancing in a humourous way!'

Shahrukh to give parenting tips to Abhishek

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who is a proud father of two children, says he would love to give parenting tips to would-be-dad Abhishek Bachchan Shah Rukh said through his Twitter.com post: "Papa (Abhishek) I am so excited for u...really happy. We need to get together soon and I will give u some tips on bringing up lil ones (sic)."

Not taking much time, Abhishek replied to SRK by writing: "looking forward to it Shah! Thank you and take good care of your knees."

The superstar's knee is acting smart. King Khan's arrival is being awaited at the 12th IIFA awards and he assures his presence at the ceremony, irrespective of the persistent problem in knee.

"In hospital getting my knee taped up., feeling awful not being fully fit for IIFA...as it is attending after so many years. Sweet guys Wizandre and team...will try and do my best. Toronto, knee or not, here I come," he further posted.

SRK might be the new IIFA ambassador

ZOOM inform that SRK is being offered to step into the role, left/vacant by Mr. Bachchan. After going through the last two award shows without a brand ambassador, it seems that the next edition of the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards will have a new face. And it seems like, Shahrukh Khan, who has been a sort of informal ambassador of IIFA this year, might be officially roped in.

Previously Amitabh Bachchan was the ambassador of the award function. However, he and the organisers, Wizcraft, reportedly parted ways early last year, albeit amicably.
SRK was being heralded as the new face of the awards after he confirmed to perform at the show in Toronto last month. However, it was only recently after a promo featuring him in the forthcoming telecast of the awards went on air that the organisers made the final decision, according to our sources.
A source informs that it was ‘Sabbas Joseph’, founder director of Wizcraft, who suggested his name. "While watching the promo, Sabbas remarked that Shahrukh would make a wonderful ambassador," revealed our source.

Farhan Akhtar talks ZNMD, Don 2 and Don 3

He probably is one of the busiest men in Bollywood right now. Not only is Farhan Akhtar sitting in the director's chair for the sequel to his huge hit Don, he is producing several big films and add on to that he is also starring in sister Zoya Akhtar's second film Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. No wonder we haven't heard much from him lately. He recently talked with Subhash K Jha about his upcoming projects. Here are some highlights from that interview.

• Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara is an ensemble piece starring Farhan, Hrithik Roshan, Abhay Deol, Katrina Kaif and Kalki Koechlin, which is scheduled to release in May. According to Farhan, ZNMD 'is about three guys on the verge of making commitments in life'.
• Farhan said his role in ZNMD is a totally different one from his earlier characters, "In Zoya's Luck By Chance I was a sneaky social climber. In ZNMD it's a sea-change. I play this guy who for the longest time takes nothing seriously. I am not even rich and I don't pretend to be. I'm just happy being the way I am. I got to just let my hair down. Many moments in this film gave me a chance to have lots of fun. After Rock On, Luck By Chance and Karthik Calling Karthik which were all serious angst-laden characters in ZNMD I play a fun character."

• The film shot extensively in Spain last year. "Yeah, all of us-Zoya, Hrithik, Abhay, Katrina, Kalki and me…became this little commune travelling across Spain. We travelled a lot. Spain has everything from beaches to mountains. So far only Bollywood songs have been shot in Spain." He also clarified that despite the rumors there is no bullfight in the movie but that they did participate in the Running with the Bulls festival.
• Farhan says they had a blast while shooting the film, "We made sure every scene was fun. Abhay, Hrithik and I spent a lot of time together. We really had some serious fun. Hrithik I knew for a long time. Abhay I got to know during this film. He's a very cool guy."
• He also revealed two cool things; one that there was a lot of improvisation during the scenes and two that "all three of us Hrithik, Abhay and I, have sung in ZNMD. It's a party situation. It seemed interesting to lend our own voices to our characters. It's turned out really, really well. I am very excited."
• His first film as an actor was in the film Rock On!!, which was a huge success. However, besides saying that 'the impact of the film still lingers', he did not really talk about his work on the path breaking film, instead he talked about his feelings that his father Javed Akhtar's work on the film's lyrics did not get nearly the praise it deserved. "I genuinely feel my dad (Javed Akhtar) did not get enough credit for the lyrics he wrote in Rock On!!. After such a long time these were songs that were so non-situational. Without any reference point he wrote lyrics that were so contagious and identifiable…Of course everyone loved the music of Rock On. But my dad's calibre of writing in the songs didn't get its due."
• The director/producer also talked about what he thinks is the secret of success when making a film. "To focus relentlessly on telling a good story. To me that's really important. People remember a good story. Filmmaking begins for me with finding a good story."
• In his director avatar Farhan has also been working hard on Don 2, which is now about 60% complete. Speaking about working with Shah Rukh Khan on the sequel Farhan said, "I feel in terms of his real-life personality Don, suits Shah Rukh to the hilt. In real life too there's a certain flamboyance and magnetism about Shah Rukh. He brings these qualities effortlessly to the part. Also, like me, he has great respect and love for the original Don (featuring Amitabh Bachchan). At the same time he gives the character his own spin. In the second Don we've taken some of the essence of what Shah Rukh did in the first Don. But we've also given him some new things to do."
• So, will there be a Don 3? "Yes, why not? Let's see. I do enjoy making Don. Right now I'm just happy creating a whole new story for this character. It's a big challenge for me."
