'Baazigar' sequel not without SRK: Ratan Jain

Producer Ratan Jain currently has no plans for "Baazigar" sequel, but says he may do it after couple of years, but not without Shah Rukh Khan.

"Yes, I am contemplating with the idea of the sequel to 'Baazigar', but not right now. I am busy with my other projects. May be three to four years down the line, I will make a sequel to 'Baazigar'," Jain, whose brother Ganesh Jain had produced the crime thriller, told IANS.

"However, I will not make the sequel without Shah Rulh. So let's see how things fall in place. It's too early to comment on anything at this point of time," he added.

"Baazigar", the 1993 blockbuster, was Shah Rukh's first blockbuster. Directed by Abbas-Mustan, the film introduced Shah Rukh and Kajol's pair on the screen as well as introduced Shilpa Shettyin filmdom.

Meanwhile, Jain is set to roll out the sequel to "Dhadkan" with a fresh star cast. The 2000 hit love triangle had Suniel Shetty, Akshay Kumar and Shilpa Shetty.

"The film is in its scripting stage. It will be a fresh film and not a continuation. We won't repeat the same star cast. It will have a new star cast," said Jain.

Shah Rukh's 'Shower Dance' in Chennai

Contrary to reports in a section of the press claiming that Shah Rukh Khan danced for Kamal Haasan at a party thrown in Chennai in honour of the former on Sunday night, Shah Rukh danced for the entire congregation of who's who from the Tamil film industry at the party hosted in his honour at the Hyatt in Chennai.

And he danced drenched from head to toe. Says Kamal Haasan, "He danced wonderfully on stage and it looked like he had come out of the bath and forgotten to dry."

The truth about SRK's wet and wild look that Sunday evening was a little less romantic and far scarier. The air conditioning at the posh luxury hotel had conked off leaving SRK swathed in sweat.

Says Kamal, "It was every celebrity-bash's worst nightmare come true. The air conditioning at the hotel broke down. We were all left seething and simmering in the heat, helpless, angry and bitter. Shah Rukh was fully and formally dressed in a suit for the occasion. His condition in the heat was indescribable. But look at this entertainer! He pulled off his coat, jumped on to the stage and danced, although he dripped sweat like he had just had a bath."

Shah Rukh, we are told, was pretty much completely drained out and on the verge of dehydration after his sweat-soaked performance. "But he didn't care. At that moment he forgot all his discomfort. It was just Shah Rukh Saab (that's what Kamal Haasan calls his junior colleague) and the stage. He is a natural-born entertainer," says Kamal Haasan. 

Kamal Haasan and Shah Rukh share a mutual admiration society from the time they worked together inHey Ram 2000. Shah Rukh had refused to charge any money for the film claiming that the honour of working with the great Kamal Haasan was reward enough. Says Kamal Haasan appreciatively, "Shah Rukh is a true Pathan. A man of his words. I owe him a big favour."

SRK a superstar sans stardom, says Chennai Express co-star

Shah Rukh Khan's next movie is Chennai Express

He may be a superstar to the world, but for his co-stars Shah Rukh Khan is just a caring and friendly person, says Mohan Raman who worked with SRK in upcoming film Chennai Express. (Read: Looking for SRK? Get on board Chennai Express)

"He (Shah Rukh Khan) is very friendly to his co-stars. He ensures that everybody around him is well looked after. He never makes you feel that he bears the superstar title and, therefore, you feel more comfortable around him," Mohan told IANS.

"The only superstar thing about him is that he would mostly be accompanied by his entourage, which is for his own safety. Otherwise, it was a pleasure working with him. I even clicked a picture with him to keep it as a memorabilia," he added.

Mohan Raman will be seen in an important role in the film, which is being directed by Rohit Shetty. It also features Deepika Padukone, Manorama, Sathyaraj and Priyamani.

How was it working with SRK as an actor?

"He would personally help us with lines, whenever needed. A thorough professional on the sets, he is very serious about his work. He spends a lot of time going through his lines and rehearsing to perfect them before enacting them," Raman said.

Known for working in a host of Tamil films and television serials, Raman has also worked in Hindi filmSabse Bada Khiladi.

It's all in the numbers for Shah Rukh Khan

Stars often come with the added quirks, and Shah Rukh Khan is no
exception. Much as he would like the world to think otherwise, the
actor is a strong believer in numerology and the power of numbers. So
much so, he insists that all things around him - at least those that
have a number attached - stick to a combination of the numbers 555 and
40. Apparently, he always had a fascination for 555 but 40 is a recent
addition to his list of favourites.

If sources close to Shah Rukh are to be believed, the last five digits
of three of his personal mobile numbers are a mix of 555 and 40. His
wife Gauri and all senior officials working with him have either or
both these numerals as part of their mobile numbers. Even his closest
colleague Karuna Badwal and 80 staff members have them in their
official mobile numbers. His car bears the number plate 555 and his
personal email id too has a combination of these digits.

In recent months, Shah Rukh has been getting increasingly finicky
about the numbers' game and doesn't like to be associated with the
number three or its multiples.

So is he a self-styled numerologist? "Shah Rukh is not only in touch
with a reputed numerologist but also burns the midnight oil studying
the science," said a source close to the actor, adding, "This is such
a well-kept secret that only Shah Rukh can answer who is his
numerologist."

Shah Rukh Khan to shoot for 'Chennai Express' in Munnar

Kerala is all set to ring in Vishu (Malayalam New Year) with none other than Bollywood Badshah Shah Rukh Khan.

The superstar landed at the Nedumbassery airport on the outskirts of Kochi on Saturday. He will be shooting in Munnar for Rohit Shetty's Chennai Express in the coming days.

"The actor, who landed in a chartered flight by around 7.30 am, halted in Kochi for a while before travelling to the picturesque hill station by road. He reached Munnar at 11.30 am and went straight to a resort," said a source and further added that SRK will be in Munnar for two more days as part of the shoot.

"The superstar's presence during the festival season in the state will be yet another reason to celebrate for all his fans in Kerala. However, the shooting location has not been disclosed to anyone. As soon as the news of SRK's Munnar visit was out, the roads leading to the hill station were jam-packed, with people waiting for a glimpse of their favourite star," says the source.

Chennai Express, produced by the actor's wife Gauri Khan, features Deepika Padukone opposite him.

Shah Rukh: After intense films, 'Chennai Express' is a nice change

​​

​

Vancouver: Superstar Shah Rukh Khan picks films instinctively, but he is especially happy with Rohit Shetty's 'Chennai Express' as he believes it is a comedy, action and entertainment-packed project 'different' from the intense and serious films he has done in the recent past.

"I do films which I like at a given point of time and as and when I get the opportunity. So when Rohit narrated a couple of films to me two years back, one was the remake of 'Angoor' and other was 'Chennai Express'. I like both of them. But Rohit felt he would like to do the latter one first as it is a bigger film and has fantastic comedy, action and amazing songs," Shah Rukh told IANS in an interview on the sidelines of the maiden edition of the Times Of India Film Awards (TOIFA) here.

The film, produced by the actor's wife Gauri Khan under their production banner Red Chillies Entertainment, features Deepika Padukone opposite King Khan. Shah Rukh is, of course, happy with the way the movie is shaping up, revealing that he injured his right shoulder while shooting for the film.

"It's awkward for me to speak of film that I produce, but I just have to say that Rohit has done me great favour while making a film like this for me. It's fun and I am enjoying it. Yes, I end up doing very intense films like 'Jab Tak Hai Jaan' , 'Chak De! India' and 'My Name Is Khan', and so, it ('Chennai Express') is a nice change for me," he said.

The Bollywood 'baadhsah' also hopes to do more such films in the near future.

"I am enjoying it this way. May be I would continue doing films like 'Chennai Express' in future," he added.

Looking dapper in a black suit, the actor will take to the stage to perform for hundreds of fans at the final day of TOIFA, which has brought a barrage of Hindi movie stars here.

He was in a relaxed mood, and with an excited child-like demeanour, he talked about awards and their significance in his life even after over two decades of being in the industry, and winning lots of them.

"I like awards and I appreciate them. I feel most of the awards that we have in India, are for years of work that we have done, rather than just one show, and above all that, it is nice to see the (film) community together (at such events). We get five seven opportunities a year where everyone get together, so it's a time to celebrate," he said.

Even though the escalating number of film awards worries him, he admits, "I like them".

"The more the merrier. I get most of them," he quipped in his inimitable style.

At the same time, he says he feels proud to see the love of Bollywood fans whenever he travels abroad.

"I normally don't go outside, I only come for functions and it is very nice to feel that people love you. More than screaming and shouting , I like the fact that people of all ages, all stages and everywhere in the world appreciate what Indian film is doing," Shah Rukh said.

Meanwhile, being the co-owner of Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), he is busy with the cricket extrvaganza, apart from having his hands full with acting commitments and production assignments. But he is managing it all pretty well.

One lesson, he says, he has learnt of late is to talk about his new projects only at the right time.

"We are making 'Chennai Express' and then there is another film called 'A for Apple, B for Billi, C for Cutta' (ABC). Two others are in the pipleline, but I would like to keep it a secret till the right time.

"People are just talking about work so much earlier than it is initiated. I don't like it anymore. I like to talk about things when the film is ready, and only then would I like to take an opinion about what is good and what is bad," he said.
