A feature film narrating the story of a young girl whose life changes after Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan utters "a few magical words" to her, will be premiered at the International film Festival of India (IFFI) 2009.
Shahrukh Bola Khoobsorat Hain Tu, a Hindi movie directed by theatre veteran Makrand Deshpande will be premiered during IFFI in Goa to be held from November 23 to December 3.
"The film is about a poor girl who sells flowers at a traffic signal and how her life changes after a chance encounter with King Khan, who rolls down the window of his car and tells her Tu Khoobsurat Hai" said Deshpande.
Other seven films, including two in Hindi and English and one each in Marathi, Konkani and Kannada will be premiered during the eleven-day long festival jointly organised by Directorate of Film Festival (DFF) and Entertainment Society of Goa (ESG).
Goa Chief Minister Digamber Kamat on Friday announced the list of premiers during a press conference here.
Sanjeev Srinivas' film God Lives in the Himalayas, an English flick based on the life of a boy living in Himalayan ranges, also will be premiered during the festival.

Shahrukh Khan's debut was in typical B'wood fashion: in 'Deewana', he played the ever-singing, ever-dancing lover boy with wavy hair... What made Shahrukh's portrayal of this clichéd character different was the verve and energy with which he played it. SRK has managed to retain the same energy level throughout his 19-year career. His detractors have often accused him of hamming but SRK is an adamant advocate of whatever he does, and has been proved right by the enormous initial pull his name purports at both Indian and overseas Box office. In 'Devdas', Shahrukh did a character that was immortalised earlier by none other than Dilip Kumar. Shahrukh perfectly complemented Sanjay Leela Bhansali's colourful palette and melodrama concentrate with his intense depiction of the lead character. The typical SRK strategy of overindulging in himself paid good dividends here: For once, the narcissism of the actor mixed well with the self loathing of the character. And people instantly forgot the Dilip Kumar portrayal and cozied up to the new one.
SRK's other notable performances of the decade were in 'Chak De India' (Kabeer Khan) and 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' (Surinder Sahni/Raj Kapoor).
"I don't sit around complaining about the lack of good roles. I will play Raj 85 times and still make him different."
"There are only two Khans. Genghis Khan and Shahrukh Khan"
"I'd die if people didn't recognise me. I would not be able to walk on the road if people didn't mob me. That's what I work for."
"Sex is not required to sell my film. My name is enough."
"Awards who ignore me are losers"

Shah Rukh has never forgotten that kindness and, when he heard that Hema was shooting near his home at Bandstand, he dropped in on the sets to pay his respects.
In the confines of his car for two-and-a-half hours, Aamir rushed into the venue for his press con searching for a toilet, only to be hounded by photographers. Amidst the pressure applied by the paparazzi and the pressure internally, Aamir pushed his way through the pandemonium, pleading, "I need to use the bathroom."
We wonder what would have happened if he had decided to let it rip on the roadside ...

Okay, so he turned 44 on November 2. His son, Aryan, at age 12, is on the cusp of becoming a teenager, his daughter, Suhana, is now nine, and vis-à-vis domestic matters, life is on a steady keel for Shah Rukh Khan.
Gauri Khan has shed her shyness to walk the ramp for a couture line designed by buddy Karan Johar, and she's rated the number one party hostess in showtown today. Besides making personal phone calls to the invitees, she ensures all of them are at ease in their roomy bungalow Manna — even though some of the film personalities may be at loggerheads.
When Michael Jackson's brother Jermaine was in town, the Khans hosted a dinner for him. Earlier, Hollywood's Gerard Butler was fêted, and, of course, at the SRK birthday bash on Tuesday, the who's who of Bollywood turned up, with children being invited for an early evening playfest with the Khans' kids.
If there have been any downers for the actor, it has been the performance of his IPL cricket team, which has been faring disappointingly on the field for two years. His home production, Billoo Barber, didn't seduce the cash counters, and there has been the recurring back problem which doesn't actually slow up the high-energy actor, but certainly becomes a reason for constant medical check-ups. Last year, SRK did have Rab ne Bana di Jodi to be gung-ho about. This year though, it's largely been a no-show, unless you count the cameo in Billoo Barber. The year may well be snatched away, in terms of prominence, by Aamir Khan whose 3 Idiots is expected to be released next month.
Next year will kick off auspiciously though, with SRK staring in Karan Johar's My Name is Khan. The major film he shoots next is being produced by his own company, Red Chillies.
Quirkily titled Raa-One (Raavan, get it?), this futuristic fantasy is to be directed by Anubhav Sinha, who doesn't have much of a track record, what with films like Cash to his credit. For the actor, the IPL cricket series will continue to be a point of focus again next year. Also in the works, there's his third tie-up with Farah Khan, who gave him two big hits with Main Hoon Na and Om Shanti Om.
That's the update on him, and if you try to fire an interview question at him, he laughs "Come on, I've been on the scene for more than 20 years now. I'm asked questions the entire day by my office people, by everyone around me, by my directors, my producers. Please, I like people who give me answers."
In his characteristic rat-a-rat style, he says, "On my last birthday, a journalist asked me very sweetly how I would celebrate with my parents. "I didn't get angry, but I was confused. If she wanted to know something about me, she should have known the basics. How could she not know that my parents have passed away?"
SRK is famously media-savvy. After graduating in economics, he enrolled for a master's degree in Mass Communication at Delhi's Jamia Milia Islamia institute.
Television and films happened, so those studies were left incomplete. Ask him about the state of the media today, and he responds. "Two things have happened in television and print media. None of us have much time, we are all busy. Earlier, we used to get information through the newspapers or television. We used to form our opinions on the basis of that information.
"Now, it's no longer information. Now it's an analysis that X is correct and Y is wrong. So what happens is already analysed for you. You don't have to think anymore."
According to him, wild assumptions have become endemic. "If I haven't gone to a particular place to meet a certain person, why is it assumed that I don't like that person? Maybe I was not invited, but it's already been analysed and it's there for all to read and believe.
"I still don't speak to quite a lot of magazines and papers. Not because I've an ego, I just don't want to be a part of their world."
The assumptions being referred could have something to do with Khan's hot and cold professional relationship with Amitabh Bachchan. Dipping for a metaphor, SRK remarks, "So many people go swimming but I don't participate. I don't like swimming. But when I see other people swimming, it doesn't irritate me.
"I've gone beyond the stage of being judgemental. What you do is fine by me, but I don't have to participate in it. I take my kids to the swimming pool. I sit in the corner, I enjoy a cigarette and a coffee. But people ask, 'You don't swwwwiiimm?' Listen, swimming is great, but I don't swim."
No need to ask Shah Rukh Khan more questions. He knows what you want to hear. He's a cool guy, so don't mess with him (Salman Khan?) and he won't mess with you.
He concludes, "I've received the Padmashree honour in India, I've received honours in Malyasia, in France and the UK. I'm at Madame Tussauds, I've got a lovely house, beautiful children, a lovely family and I've got beautiful friends. They matter to me, not what the media or anyone wants to make of me."

Party pooper SRK
He's called King Khan but we've heard that Shah Rukh Khan is not quite the king when it comes to hosting the press at his house. On his 44th birthday, he served up some cold vegetable spring rolls and poha to the journalists he had invited over to celebrate. No cake was in sight, other than the ones brought in by the guests themselves. This is also not the first time; there have been times when people have spent three hours in the heat waiting for him and all they were offered was an oily vada pav from a nearby stall. We love you, SRK, and know that meeting you in person can completely satiate anybody's appetite, but a little hospitality wouldn't hurt, no?
The invisible man
Viviek Oberoi, who nearly vanished from the screen as well as people's memories after his last debacle Mission Istanbul, is working hard towards making a comeback. On the sets of his next solo hero film, Rajkumar Taurani's Prince — It's Showtime, the actor apparently spent days together on the sets with minimum sleep. Often, VO chose to stay back in his vanity van after a night shoot instead of going home in the wee hours to return next afternoon. Incidentally, the Kurbaan crew too has good things to say about the actor. Then why is he invisible in the film promos?
