'My perception about love hasn’t changed'

Shah Rukh Khan says his perception about love has not
changed over the years. "A relationship is between two
people and it is a very personal experience. When you
are in love, you have to be yourself. My perception of love
has not changed over the years," said Shah Rukh.
"I feel we lose out on love when we start looking at bigger things. I
think in love,
simple things matter, like listening. I think girls know better how to
love than men,"
he said.
He claimed he is also in love with the whole idea of on-screen
romance. "I fall in
love with the story idea and the belief of love in it. I like the
whole idea of the love
story. I believe in every scene that I do. I think I can understand
and emote love,"
he said.
According to him, there is no other place he could think of being, other than
Bollywood. "I am happy to be here. I don't think there is any other
place other the
film industry where I would rather be. I would love to live and die
being an actor."
He said he is looking forward to the release of his forthcoming film Jab Tak Hai
Jaan, directed by Yash Chopra. "I feel if you have to do a romantic
film, it has to be
with Yash Chopra. It is amazing to do films

SRK to be a trademark!

The actor has sent an application to the Trade Mark Registry that his often-used initials not be used without his permission

Shah Rukh Khan is a brand by himself. And very soon his often-used initials - SRK may become a very valuable property. TOI found out that the actor has recently applied for a trademark on his name SRK at the Delhi office of the Trade Mark Registry. However, he has not received a final confirmation on it yet. According to the rules, once his trademark SRK is published in the Indian Trademark Journal, anybody who has an objection can file a notice within three months.

Interestingly, Sachin Tendulkar had applied for the same, to trademark his name SRT, earlier this year. In fact, we had told you how when Vidhu Vinod Chopra needed to use the cricketer's name in his film Ferrarri Ki Sawaari, he had to seek Sachin's permission.

In the West, getting a trademark on one's name isn't uncommon. In fact, Roger Federer, Michael Jordon and Jennifer Lopez are among some of the names that have been trademarked in the past.

And now, SRK is ready to add his name to the list. A source close to the actor told TOI, "SRK has become bigger with every project. He has taken this decision after a lot of thought. Career wise, it is a great decision to safeguard his brand." Interestingly, the application submitted by the actor to the Trade Mark Registry (of which, TOI has a copy) bars several industries from using his name. For example, tobacco products, alcoholic beverages, water and even other non-alcoholic drinks can't use the actor's name. The same goes for fresh fruits, vegetables, salt, mustard so on and so forth.

JTHJ: Yash Chopa to direct last-ever scene, plans are to make it big

Yash Chopra prepares to say goodbye to direction with Jab Tak Hai Jaan (JTHJ), his assistant directors (who have worked with him for years) are busy designing a spectacular souvenir for the king of romance. They want this to be their special gift to their mentor.

The unit of the film will soon head to Switzerland to shoot the only remaining song - a romantic number with Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif - with Chopra behind the camera. Says a source from the film's set, "Adi (Aditya Chopra), who is an assistant director on the film, along with the other ADs, came up with the idea of making the last shot magnificent. To make it stand out, they've decided to use multiple cameras and shoot from various angles, giving it a multi-dimensional feel. Yashji is a living legend, and obviously, his last shot has to be a huge moment."

Katrina, who is in Chicago, USA, isn't aware of the development yet, but she says whatever the plans are, she is lucky and privileged to be part of the film. "This movie will always be special as it is Yashji's last direction. I truly feel lucky that he gave me a chance to be part of his rich history. Like I've said earlier, your CV is not complete unless you've worked with Yashji. He takes romance to a different level!"

Son Adi, however, will give this special trip a miss due to other commitments in Mumbai. "It's a special moment for the unit. We're planning to shoot it in a grand way to be able to freeze that moment for posterity," says the spokesperson of JTHJ. The 80-year-old director wielded the megaphone after a gap of eight years for this film. And then, he decided to hang up his boots and mentor budding directors.

Yash Chopra started his journey in the film industry as an assistant to IS Johar and then joined his brother BR Chopra, who was a director-producer at the time. In 1959, he made his directorial debut with Dhool Ka Phool.

Shahrukh: I'm loving Manchester!

Shahrukh: I'm loving Manchester!

   The King of Bollywood himself Shahrukh Khan received a royal welcome to Manchester last night. Arif Asif and Neetal Parekh report.

The city left an impression on the superstar who said he was overwhelmed by the response.

The event was featured live via our Twitter Feed and here on the Asian Image website with exclusive updates.

Amidst what were at times chaotic scenes a host of celebrities attended the event held at the Davenport Green Hall which is based on the outskirts of the city.  And whilst fans had to wait untill after 10pm for him to make an appearance, he certainly didn't disappoint when he took to the stage.


   People were standing on chairs, with others on their friend's shoulders just to get a glimpse of the star.

It simply was too much to handle for some fans who found being in the presence of a Bollywood superstar overwhelming. Several fans could not hold back their tears and simply broke down at the sight of him!

The evening organised by Lockdown Promotions was opened by the talented and exhilarating Sonash sisters who were followed by Imran Khan, H-Dhami, Kiran Dhanoa, and Abbas Hassan. It finished off with a colourful yet elegant fashion show.

DJ Fritz and his supreme dream team provided the perfect blend of music as guests arrived in what was a stunning venue.

Famous faces attending on the night included, England Cricketer Sajid Mahmood, ex Arsenal and Everton striker Kevin Campbell and Adam Woodyatt of Eastenders better known as Ian Beale.

As well as posing for pictures with fans, Shahrukh took part in a question and answer session with the crowd.

Some Bollywood stars we have reported on in the past have seemed a little aloof. But Shahrukh was out to make the audience feel right at home from the very start.

He seemed fairly relaxed and was keen to play along with as many of the requests coming his way. For a moment some of us forgot this was one of the most famous faces on the planet.

After talking about his love for the UK and upcoming movie projects he revealed his   fondness for Manchester United and cheekily taunted rivals City.

He went on to talk about how football should be promoted in the sub-continent and that he is thinking of performing a more comic role in the near future.

The more humorous elements of the night were provided thanks to some very enthusiastic fans who had messages recorded for their loved ones.

Shahrukh, sung 'tujhe dekha to yeh jaana sanam' from his hit movie Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge and some lucky ladies requested him to perform and substitute their names into his film dialogues.


Yousaf Khan, 21 of Leeds said, "I can't believe 'the king' came to Manchester, we feel so lucky and honoured".

Joan who had travelled all the way from Birmingham added, "Sharukh is the epitome of acting, dancing and creativity. He enriches and represents the Indian culture like no other."

Sana Mahmood from Birmingham said, "Shahrukh made hundreds of peoples dream come true!! He interacted with all his fans and even blew me a kiss. I just love SRK."

Whilst there were moments the event was getting out of hand (much to do with over-emotional fans!) many in the crowds were simply happy to catch a glimpse of the Bhadshah of Bollywood

'Jab Tak Hai Jaan' trailer goes viral on web

This one truly carries the Yash Chopra stamp! Picturesque locales, intense poetry, enviable costumes, Shah Rukh Khan's dimpled cheeks, his passionate lover avatar, teamed with Katrina Kaif's flawless beauty, and Anushka Sharma's effervescence -- the trailer of Jab Tak Hai Jaan regales with all this, and leaves fans guessing what's in store.

The trailer, released online at 1 p.m. Thursday, was viewed by over 2,30,000 views on YouTube within two hours.

"It looks like the movie of the decade is coming... oh tiger; King is back... and that also with a bang," a fan named Ravi posted on the trailer's link.

Shah Rukh plays an army man named Samar in the film. He looks dapper as usual, but it is undoubtedly his loverboy smile that leaves the endearing touch. Add to that Katrina's chic looks and Anushka's bubbly, cheerful and energy-packed demeanour -- the film surely looks inviting, and expects to bring audiences to theatres in huge numbers upon its release Nov 13.

The trailer opens with Shah Rukh dressed in an army man's uniform, riding a bike in the breathtaking landscapes of Ladakh. And Gulzar's deep poetry adds to the beauty of the backdrop.

Scenes of Katrina in floral gowns and Shah Rukh's intense gaze at her on London's streets give the touch of romance, as do his parts with Anushka amid the scenic beauty of Kashmir.

There is drama, love, passion and the trailer hints at a sense of vengeance in Shah Rukh's character, who walks amid random bombings towards the end. It looks like a case of a classic love triangle, but leaves a lot more to guess.

Jab Tak Hai Jaan is special for many reasons -- it marks the return of Yash Chopra to direction after seven years after Veer-Zaara, Shah Rukh's trademark romantic avatar, and it has Gulzar's inimitable poetry, Oscar-winning composer A.R. Rahman's melodies and shots from Kashmir.

There is unprecedented buzz surrounding this next Shahrukh starrer "Jab Tak Hai Jaan". Film is slated to hit cinemas this Diwali on 13th November and also has Katrina Kaif, Anushka Sharma and evergreen romantic pair of Rishi – Neetu Kapoor.

 

Now after some exclusive coverage in last few weeks, we bring you some exclusive stuff on 1stpromo.

 

Film's promo has been kept close guarded and secret keeping in mind curiosity level among fans. Film's trailer has voice over in form of some real philosophical cum romantic lines from the film. Shahrukh will appear in never seen cool look with some really expressive eyes with a mind blowing song playing in background.

 

We are not here to spoil the fun especially as we don't know what our sources saw is a footage or trailer itself as trailer will be ready by 21st September. You will also get to see SRK driving in Laddakh and some stunt or montages of stunts happening there. Anushka gives some her typical "Band Baaja Baraat" type fast dialogue delivery. Katrina Kaif sees "something" and another songs break in female voice(which mind you is EVEN better than previous one). Shahrukh suddenly mouths some real cool couple of lines before something "crucial" happens and trailer ends before montage of few supporting cast.

 

Film's trailer and songs are ready to be out next week tentatively on 27th and already there are two promos have been cut so it is tough to guess which one they will be unveiling first. Length of uncut promo was 2 minutes plus approximately.

 

As per the sources, film has some real dramatic, intense but musical 2nd half and film will be a huge blockbuster written all over it as many trusted sources already saying it Shahrukh's best work in a romantic role till date.

 

If we get to know more about final promo in couple of days, we will be back otherwise wait for a week and we all enjoy one of the most romantic film unfolding before us.

SRK misses late father on his 31st death anniversary


While the entire country is in a celebratory mood, courtesy- the birthday celebrations of the Elephant God- Ganesha, actor Shah Rukh Khan is feeling a little low on this day. And, the reason for the same is the fact that September 19 marks the death anniversary of his late father, Taj Mohammed Khan, who passed away thirty one years back.

The actor, who's seemingly missing his father on this day, took to Twitter to share his feelings. He wrote, "Where shall I find you now- in which garden can we sit ? Where might you and I chat for a bit? My fathers 'barsi' today.31 yrs without him (sic)."

But at the same time, King Khan left some food for thought for all his fans, which read as, "Life is beautiful for it never takes away the people it pretends it does. It's just a question of us calling its bluff (sic)."

The actor called it a day after tweeting one of his most favourite pictures- a black and white picture of his father.

He, along with Rohit Shetty were spotted at music director, Shekhar Ravjiani's place, probably to consider the type of songs that they will give space to, in their movie.

Shahrukh returned to Mumbai after a shoot-schedule in Ladakh for Yash Chopra directed Jab Tak Hai Jaan, where Katrina Kaif will be seen opposite him. Anushka Sharma is another female actor on the block who would be swindling around Shahrukh Khan in the flick, which releases on November 13. Ace filmmaker, Yash Chopra will be seen donning the directors cap after a long gap of over seven years after Veer-Zaara.

Shahrukh Khan anticipates the beginning of shoot of Chennai Express, which will go on floors from October but before that he requires a series of things to be think over and done.

Also, Shahrukh Khan received a 'thank you' message from Jhilmil aka Priyanka Chopra for helping her in preparing her character in recently released Barfi! through the account on her micro-blogging site, twitter, she posted, "Also thank you SRK for lending me all your 'My name is Khan' research, you gave me perspective on Jhilmil..owe you another one..love always."

SRK loves bearded look for 'Jab Tak Hai Jaan

' Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan loved the grungy, bearded look for his role in Yash Chopra's "Jab Tak Hai Jaan". But he has finally got rid of it.

"Had fallen in love with my beard. But it started to scratch... so ripped it out and had to let it go. That hurts too," tweeted Shah Rukh.

The 46-year-old plays an army officer in the movie, in which he features with two actresses - Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma.

No star would've agreed for 'Vicky Donor': Shoojit Sircar

There was a reason why director Shoojit Sircar decided to rope in fresh actors for "Vicky Donor". He says he roped in Ayushmann Khurrana for "Vicky Donor" after a "star" refused to be a part of the film, which turned out to be a sleeper hit.

"The storyline was very unconventional and when I approached a star with the script, he liked it, but had some apprehensions about it and after that I realised that no star would agree to do this film," Sircar said.

"It was then that I decided, I shall have a complete fresh cast and crew for this film," Sircar said at a talk at Whistling Woods International, Mumbai.

The film, based on sperm donation, also featured newcomer Yami Gautam.

"Ayushmann was an easy pick but we auditioned a lot for the female lead," said Sircar.

"I run a theatre group in Delhi called Act1 and Ayushmann and Yami were trained in acting there for three months and I also took workshops with them for 15 days," he added.

No one can beat SRK in romance, says Karan

Mumbai: Karan Johar, who created magic by teaming up with friend and superstar Shah Rukh Khan in hits like `Kuch Kuch Hota Hai` and `Kal Ho Na Ho`, feels that SRK is the ultimate king of romance and no one can beat him in that space.

"I think no one can beat Shah Rukh in romance, he owns that space. If and when I am challenged to write a love story which I feel I can justify, I will definitely make it. Right now, I don`t know if there is enough of me to make another love story," Karan told PTI in an interview.

With `Kuch Kuch Hota Hai` (1998) Karan attempted a love story between three college students (Shah Rukh, Kajol and Rani Mukherjee). In 2003 super hit film `Kal Ho Na Ho`, Karan again formed a love triangle between terminally ill Shah Rukh, an uptight student Priety Zinta and her friend Saif Ali Khan. While with `Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna` he explored the side of adultery and extramarital affair.

Karan hopes to make an unusual love story yet again and hopefully with Shah Rukh.

"There are so many love stories that are being made. I feel I should have something unusual about the love story for me to tell through the film. And working with Shah Rukh is always great. I hope and pray that I should come up with films that would justify his tremendous star presence," he said.

Shah Rukh is now back to woo his fans once again with a romantic film with Yash Chopra`s `Jab Tak Hai Jaan`.

The romantic drama, directed by Yash Chopra, written and produced by Aditya Chopra, stars Shah Rukh, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma in the lead.

"Shah Rukh is doing Yashji`s film after a gap. I can`t wait to see `Jab Tak Hai Jaan`. Its a film by Yash uncle, coupled with Shah Rukh`s romance with Katrina and Anushka. It will be spectacular," Karan said. 

Karan tasted success this year with the remake version of

`Agneepath` that had Hrithik Roshan, Sanjay Dutt and Priyanka Chopra in the lead. It retold the 1990 film of the same name and was directed by Karan Johar`s former assistant Karan Malhotra.

Through this film, Karan paid a tribute to his father Yash Johar, the producer of the original.

"I believed in `Agneepath`. I have grown up watching Hindi films, so I like film drama. In case of `Agneepath`, I liked the drama, emotional violence and I believed in Karan Malhotra. I am glad I made this film. It was the only film of my father that I wanted to remake," he said.

The 1990 original film starring Amitabh Bachchan, Mithun Chakraborty, Danny Denzongpa, Madhavi in the lead did not do well at the box office. But the remake version which released this year in January was a huge hit.

"I felt this film broke my father`s heart when it did not run and he felt very dejected. But I am sure wherever he is in the universe he will be very proud that we got it right," Karan said.

Meanwhile, Karan is kicked about yet another reality show `India`s Got Talent`. He will be judging the show alongside Kirron Kher, Maliaka Arora Khan and Farah Khan.

"This show happened as I was doing `Jhalak Dikhla Jaa`. I have loved watching this show. Ironically I was offered the first season but I couldn`t make it then. So I was fourth time lucky to be part of the show. There are so many talented people and they come with so many contestants from different parts of the country," he said. (MORE) PTI 

We got see different art forms, different dance forms and various other things. It is the human story that moved me as there are people who leave their jobs for the passion of their craft and art, it is fascinating and heartening. I am happy that I did the show. I got a lot from the show than I contributed to it," he said.

Well, Karan revealed that he was moved by a three-year-old boy who was drumming.

"This child was drumming like a rockstar. I went on stage to see if he is actually doing it himself or not. He is just awesome," he said.

As the show, `India`s Got Talent` is all about showcasing what you are best at, Karan feels he only has the talent of making films.

"I have no talent barring being a director and producer. That I feel this is my only talent. I can`t sing, I can`t dance.. I can`t do anything. I don`t have great talent I can`t write poetry all I can do is make films. But I wish I could sing," he said.

The show will go on air from September 22, every Saturday and Sunday at 10 pm on Colors channel.

Shah Rukh buys out all books on cinema

Shah Rukh Khan is a man on a mission. The actor has been on a book-buying spree across the length and breadth of the city, scouring bookstores in his pursuit of the titles of his choice.

Few people are aware that the actor is a voracious reader and consumes books on a daily basis.
Khan is one of the few genuine B-Town bookworms, who buy books to read rather than for its collector value. He has a massive collection of books in his personal library, which he is now in the process of refurbishing along with the one in his office.

One guesses the B-Town badshah felt he needed 'thoda aur' and that's what sparked off his book-buying marathon.Sources say that SRK walked into a store in Khar the other day with three people as part of his entourage and walked out with every single book on Hollywood and Bollywood cinema, and on movie stars that it had in stock. On one of those visits, he reportedly spent a hefty amount on his purchases.

At this point, the man probably owns any and every book on Hollywood/ Bollywood cinema/stars that's available in the city. Which is quite a lot. When he's on a roll, iss star ko rokna mushkil hi nahin, namumkin hai!

Shah Rukh Khan throws a googly at Chennai Express

Shah Rukh Khan will start shooting for his ambitious film Chennai Express much before the scheduled date, so that he can support his KKR team at the Champions League. 

The film directed by Rohit Shetty was earlier supposed to go on the floors in October-end but will now start from September 27.

A source informs, "SRK has given the dates for the film in September.

I think love can happen at any age: Shah Rukh Khan

I think love can happen at any age: Shah Rukh Khan
Megastar Shah Rukh Khan Tuesday launched the music and third poster of choreographer-director Farah Khan's debut film as an actor "Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi" here and praised her as one of the finest directors.

Shah Rukh, who is a very good friend of Farah, 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."

Farah Khan and Boman Irani recreated the magic of characters Simran and Raj of "Dilwale Dhulaniya Le Jayenge" (DDLJ) in a poster.

Shah Rukh who had come to unveil the third poster of "Shirin Farhad..." told reporters that no one could recreate the magic of his most iconic romantic film of all time, "DDLJ".

"I have seen spoofs of all movies created by others but I never thought one would ever think of making a spoof on 'DDLJ'," Shah Rukh said

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.

"Shirin Farhad..." directed by Bela Sehgal is a romantic-comedy of 40-plus couple - Boman and Farah.

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

"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.

SRK takes Yash Raj to Ladakh

TOI told you in May that Yash Chopra was toying with the idea of revisiting one of his favourite destinations, the Kashmir valley, as a backdrop for his directorial next starring Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif. 

The last time the snow-dusted valley featured in Chopra's films was in the 1976 blockbuster Kabhie Kabhie, after which the filmmaker, known for his choice of the most beautiful locales, had shifted his attention to the Swiss Alps for the longest time. So much so, the production house even conducted a recce of Kashmir, raising anticipation levels there. 

However, TOI now has it that the climax of Yash Chopra's yet-untitled film will be shot in Ladakh and not Kashmir, only because Shah Rukh suggested the venue. 

A source close to the film had said, "Yashji loves the snow in Kashmir and has shot two of his most romantic films, Daag and Kabhi Kabhie, there. They need a snow-capped landscape for the climax. Hence, initially, he contemplated shooting in Kashmir." 

However, Shah Rukh came up with the idea of Ladakh, where he had shot for Mani Rathnam's Dil Se, and still has fond memories of the place, the source revealed. 

That's when and how the plan changed. So this winter, the film's unit will head for a ten-day climax shoot to Ladakh instead of Kashmir. 

Yash Raj Films' official spokesperson confirmed the news saying, "The next schedule is in Ladakh."

We're told that Aditya Chopra is being guarded about revealing too much about the film, visually, and will go ballistic when the film is about to release. A different strategy, indeed!

It has been learnt through a source close to Farah's film unit that the lady has expressed her desire for SRK to work hard on his body to get an eight pack abs. Since the audience expects something better from them as a team, she wants it to be like that.

Even Big B envies SRK's energy and speed

It was on this day exactly twenty years ago that he entered the cinema industry. However, the path hasn't been a rosy one for the man who's now referred to as the Badhshah of Bollywood.

Nine years ago Shah Rukh Khan had said in an interview "June 26 marks exactly 11 years since I faced the cameras for my first shot for Dil Aashna Hai. I knew it would be a tough field, a very demanding profession."
Although the star admitted on Twitter that luck has played a major role in making him a superstar, the actor has never once slowed down or shown a sign of complacence.

The day he has free time, he starts off with connecting to his fans on Twitter. This is one ritual his fans look forward to. Once online, he tweets, "off to shooting now. ok will do 10 questions...nothing better than to start the day by being questioned...yes we all have our quirks!!"

The best part about the actor is that he doesn't shy away from answering any kind of questions and we all know that there's both a witty and angry side to him. What clicks is that when he doesn't want to give a straight answer, he makes a quirky remark that answers the question as well as puts him in a safe spot.

In one of the talk shows on TV, when told your son loves Koi Mil Gaya, the actor was quick to point out, 'Well, he's still a kid now. When he grows up he'l began to appreciate papa's films that are the best."

Even when Amitabh Bachchan was asked on a TV show "One thing about SRK that he wished he had, the legendary actor replied,"The speed with which his brain works..."

On a similar show, Amitabh Bachchan came out with his first impression of SRK saying, "When you came on KBC, I thought you spoke very fast, thought even faster and you had lot of energy..."

Such is the charm of Shah Rukh Khan who has wooed teenagers and adults alike with his portrayal of characters. Be it his trademark shaky voice, his signature style wit or the way in which he deals with the criticisms.

Having come a long way, he does admit to have erred along the way. He tweeted a few days ago, "Made mistakes,still continue to do so.A little madness.A bit of solitude.2 silly to realize its impossible & maybe thats y it gets achieved.'

Despite the super star tag status and the resources to have anything and everything at his beck and call, there's no stopping this lover boy Rahul who's become a household name in Hindustan now. After he finishes with his ten- minute question answer session with fans on Twitter, it's the call of duty for him as he signs off with, "ok all...have to head to work now...have to make ends meet...earn the bread...get the show on the road. love u all...' And the fans are neither disappointed nor complaining at all for they know that their favourite actor is working on giving them another entertaining product soon.
