Shah Rukh Khan becomes INTERPOL Turn Back Crime Ambassador (Interpol)

LYON, France - Internationally renowned Indian actor Shah Rukh Khan has agreed to become an Ambassador for INTERPOL's Turn Back Crime campaign to promote greater awareness of how each of us can have a role in preventing crime.

The multi-award winning actor, the first Indian to be made an Ambassador for the global campaign, is lending his voice to help spread the message that all of society benefits when citizens respect the law and fight crime.

"It's a very special honour to be a part of INTERPOL's Turn Back Crime Campaign as an Ambassador. As Mahatma Gandhi once said, 'I shall not fear anyone on Earth. I shall fear only God. I shall not bear ill will toward anyone. I shall not submit to injustice from anyone. I shall conquer untruth by truth. And in resisting untruth, I shall put up with all suffering, if I have to.'. We all should believe in this maxim and in whatever way possible resolve not to let unjust people who might threaten us with criminal activity make us fear them. Because I believe we can, we should, and we must stand together against the few who commit crimes against any human being, in whatever form or guise these crimes might take," said SRK.

SRK joins actor Jackie Chan as an Ambassador for the campaign, which has already garnered support from public figures including footballer Lionel Messi, Formula 1 racing drivers Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen in addition to law enforcement agencies around the world. 

INTERPOL's Turn Back Crime campaign is aimed at raising public awareness that organized crime is often involved in seemingly unrelated crimes. Drugs trafficking, people smuggling, counterfeiting, cybercrime, kidnapping, crimes against children and corruption in sport are in fact often interconnected, with profits from one crime area used to fund another.

INTERPOL's Turn Back Crime campaign is aimed at helping the public better understand these issues and empowering them not to be duped by criminals when buying products or using the Internet.

"Shah Rukh Khan has dedicated his life to making films which reflect the highest level of professionalism and commitment to bringing joy into the lives of hundreds of millions of filmgoers in India and around the world," said INTERPOL Secretary General Ronald K. Noble.

"We are honoured to have him as an Ambassador for INTERPOL's global Turn Back Crime campaign and we look forward to seeing how he puts his artistic talents behind this campaign," concluded the INTERPOL Chief.

The Turn Back Crime campaign is also reaching out to companies and policy-makers in a bid to form a united front against contemporary crime challenges, and to support the ongoing activities of the global law enforcement community.

Shah Rukh Khan’s Happy New Year to compete with Rekha’s Super Nani!

Farah Khan's Happy New Year was going to have a really Happy Diwali, as it was slated to be the solo release on Diwali this year. But it looks like the industry has some brave filmmakers who are ready to challenge Shah Rukh Khan in a festive season. After Randeep Hooda's Rang Rasiya touted to hit screens this Diwali, Rekha's Super Nani joins the party to become the third release during the festival of lights.

Super Nani starring Rekha and Sharman Joshi is slated to hit the big screen on October 24. The film's producer Ashok Thakeria said," Yes, we are planning to release our film on Diwali. It's a film of a family for every family. And Diwali is a festival when the entire family comes together to celebrate with pooja, food, crackers and movies. So what better time than Diwali! Super Nani is not just celebration of women power but that off the family too."

The film also marks the comeback of timeless beauty Rekha as she plays grandmother to Sharman Joshi. By clashing with SRK's Happy New Year, the makers of Super Nani have taken a bold move. We hope the move doesn't backfire and hurt the makers this Diwali.

SRK’s Happy New Year: The Inside Story

If you thought that director Farah Khan'sHappy New Year will be just another big-budget time pass movie-watching experience, you've got it dead wrong. Here is the real story. 

For one, Farah in her efforts to create the perfect masala mix has borrowed liberally from each and every director right from Sanjay Bhansali to Prabhu Dheva. But her chief inspiration is Steven Soderbergh's Ocean's Trilogy, although Farah has insisted that "she has lifted but not in the Hitch-Partner sort of way." The director's other inspiration is the body of her previous work, Tees Maar Khan included. 

At the end of the trailer, SRK's character Charlie says, "Picture abhi baaki hai mere dost." That is an interesting hint, the fact being that Deepika Padukone who plays a dancer named Mohini (what an imaginative name) will also make a ghost appearance like she did inOm Shanti Om. The story of a heist, her character of a ghost will do all the stealing since the villain who owns the casino cannot see her: or, it. 

Farah is, in fact, the supervisor of the film. Three other participants whose names have been wrapped in secrecy have played majorly significant roles. In spite of being made at a nominal budget of 400 crore, she has hired Rohit Shetty as the Action Director. 

Shetty who was given complete freedom has picturised an action sequence on the peak of Mount Everest between the macho man played by Sonu Sood (Jag in the film) and an extra named Jaidev Kadam who was paid five crore for agreeing to jump off the peak. The scene was canned, and Kadam's wife Anita paid five crore for her late husband's effort. 

Farah's brother Sajid Khan is the Director (Special Effects). He has made two major contributions, the first among them focusing on Abhishek Bachchan (Nandu) who does a Helen in a cover version of 'Piya Tu Ab Toh Aa Jaa.' Sonakshi Sinha who does a cameo calls out 'Monica.' 

The second has Charlie making love to Barley (a character who looks like him played by him). Charlie is a man - but of course - but Barley, a girl. This is the first time SRK has played a female character in a film. 

Salman Khan will be seen in an item number. Barley is his dancing partner. Charlie who watches them perform falls in love with Barley then and there. 

HNY doesn't have an entirely happy ending. The heist is successful. But Charlie cannot marry Mohini because he already has two wives: Barley whom he marries after their passionate under-cover romance and Sohini, the ghost who looks exactly like Mohini. 

Farah Khan has asserted herself by ensuring that Vivaan Shah (Rohan) who plays a comp hack is actually seen in the film. 

After Sajid Khan and Rohit Shetty, SRK has been the third major decision maker. Apart from Vivaan, he has divided the screen time among the remaining actors.

King Khan brings big Bollywood branding back to Dubai property

 Dubai developers eyeing to sell their projects to global investors are back in the branding business.

​​

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is the hot favourite and is once again involved in a real estate project in the UAE. This time it's in Dubai.

The actor will be in Dubai on Wednesday to launch the Dh2.3-billion project in Dubai Investment Park (DIP), Parvez Khan, Chairman, Pacific Ventures, told Emirates 24|7.

The actor, who owns a villa on Palm Jumeirah, has been involved in the UAE realty scene since 2008 when he launched the "Shah Rukh Khan (SRK) Boulevard" in Ras Al Khaimah.

Last year, Pacific Ventures got Sohail Khan, the brother of Salman Khan, to market their Burj Pacific tower in Downtown Dubai.

In June, Danube Properties, a subsidiary of Danube Group, named Sunil Gavaskar, Indian cricket legend, as their brand ambassador for Dreamz by Danube project in Al Furjan.

In the past, Deepika Padukone and Omar Sharif have endorsed projects in Dubai and Ajman, respectively. Sporting legends Boris Becker, Niki Lauda and Michael Schumacher too have had towers named after them in Dubai.

Khan's design

Parvez Khan, however, says SRK is not merely the brand ambassador, but is involved in the designing aspect of the project.

"He has given inputs in designing of the project… he is the one who told us to launch two-bed 'affordable luxury' townhouses in our project. He is also involved in the designing the landscaping for the project."

Tony Ashai is the designer of the project.

One for me


Well, these brand ambassadors now do invest in these projects.

Gavaskar has bought a townhouse in the Danube project, while Sohail Khan has bought an apartment in the tower.

Parvez Khan says Shah Rukh does intend to buy a townhouse in Royal Estates and keep it as an investment for future.

The development consists of 400 townhouses, one commercial tower and between 800 and 900 residential apartments.

​​

The launch price for units will start from Dh840 per square feet.

Phase one of the project, which comprises 200 townhouses and a residential tower of nearly 200 units, will be delivered during the first quarter of 2016.

Shooting for Shah Rukh Khan's next film 'Raees' yet to begin

 Rahul Dholakia, the director of 'Raees', today rubbished reports which allegedly stated that the shooting for the Shah Rukh Khan starrer 'Raees' was being postponed for multiple reasons.

'Raees' which is still in its pre-production stage is yet to go on floors, the director confirmed. The film has not even started shooting so the question of shoots being postponed or delayed is absolutely false.

Rahul took on to Twitter to rubbish news reports suggesting the purported delay.

'Raees' starring Shah Rukh Khan and Farhan Akhtar will go on floors very soon as the film crew is busy deciding shooting spots for the film. Few days back, director Rahul Dholkaia was spotted at Ramoji Film city for the same. Based on the story of a bootlegger, Raees will release somewhere around the last quarter of 2015

Bollywood star backs luxury project in Dubai

Shah Rukh Khan, one of the biggest stars in Bollywood, has teamed up with an alliance of developers to endorse a AED2.3 billion (US $626 million) mixed-used project in Dubai which was first launched in 2008, but stalled by the global financial crisis.

The movie star has joined up with Aristocrat Star, PAL Developments and Pacific Ventures for their Royal Estates by Shah Rukh Khan development, which will house a total of 2000 units, comprising apartments, villas, boutique retail spaces, an office complex and a luxury hotel. The development will be located in Dubai Investments Park.

Units will go on sale from August 7 with apartment prices starting at AED450,000 and townhouses from AED1.6 million.

The endorsement comes nearly six years since The Royal Estates community was first announced by Aristocrat Star Investments in October 2008.

In a statement published by UAE daily Khaleej Times, Khan said: "Everyone's story begins in their home and no home is less than a kingdom for its residents. Three renowned and experience organizations Aristocrat, Pal and Pacific Ventures have partnered to develop and present Royal Estates which ensures uncompromised comfort, elegance, safety and a state of the art landscaped serenity that weaves a stellar community.

"I am delighted to be associated with this project."

Phase 1 of the project comprising 400 units is scheduled to be delivered during the first quarter of 2016.

It's not the first time that the Khans have endorsed real-estate projects in the UAE. In 2008, Khan backed a project in Ras Al Khaimah called Shah Rukh Khan Boulevard which was put on hold soon after its launch.
