Sanjay Dutt in Ra.One

Sanjay Dutt and Priyanka Chopra have come together for action-packed cameos in Shah Rukh Khan's Ra.One, directed by Anubhav Sinha.

SRK also features in the scene with them. Dutt and PC are currently working together in Agneepath and were last seen in Plan in 2004.

Says a source close to Shah Rukh, "Sanju appreared in a song in Om Shanti Om but has never worked with SRK. Khan felt Ra.One needed some more drama with fun and action elements. Recently, Anubhav and he were discussing how Sanju had buffed up his body for Agneepath and were very impressed by his dedication to the role. The Ra.One team felt Sanju was looking outstanding and so decided to get him on board." Shah Rukh asked Dutt, followed by Priyanka, to do a cameo in the film. "

PC won't have any romantic scenes with Shah Rukh. Instead, all three of them will come together in one very stylised action sequence. When they approached Sanju, his dates were blocked with Karan Johar for Agneepath. Karan graciously gave a few of Dutt's dates for Ra.One, and both he and SRK requested Dutt to do the cameo. Of course, he immediately agreed." The source adds that SRK has always looked up to Dutt as an older brother and has great affection for him. "Initially the two of them were to shoot for just a day, but now they have extended it by a couple of days as SRK and Anubhav want Sanju to do some great action scenes. Sanju is very excited about doing such hard-hitting action again and has been giving his inputs to the scenes."

Gauri Khan turns designer

After producing a host of films under her superstar husband Shah Rukh Khan's banner, Gauri Khan has now decided to turn her hand to design.

Specifically interior design, with good friend and interior designer Sussanne Roshan. Roshan has been an interior designer for many years now, having designed a host of celebrity homes for the likes of Rani Mukherjee, Shilpa Shetty, Priyanka Chopra and Shahid Kapoor. Recently she even opened her store in the suburbs. Now, the two star wives have decided to join hands and design exclusive interiors projects together.

Says a source close to the two, "Gauri won't join Sussanne as a partner in her store. Instead, they will work on certain interiors projects that they get as a team, mainly on larger projects. Sussanne
will continue to do individual projects in the meantime."

Aamir Khan's joke on SRK lands 'Delhi Belly' in trouble

Looks like barbs and pot-shots between the Khans of Bollywood aren't going to see an end anytime soon, at least not in the coming days.

After Salman Khan taking a dig at his frenemies Shahrukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan in his home-production 'Chillar Party', it's Aamir Khan, who has walked on the same path. However, unlike Salman, little did the star know that his gag would land him in a big mess.

Apparently, the joke made on the star hasn't gone down well with a leading automobile brand, which is now planning to take the producers to court.

In the film, Imran Khan's character Tashi gets a red car by his would-be in-laws. On seeing the car, which strongly resembles like a Santro, one of his friend comments, "When a donkey mates an auto rickshaw, you get a car like this."

If sources are to be believed, the joke was pre-planned and was intended to take a direct dig at arch-rival Shahrukh Khan., who happens to be the brand ambassador of the automobile company.

Though, the car was modified and the branding was removed in the film sequence, it was quite evident from the picture that which brand was it. And now, the automobile brand is planning to issue a legal notice to the film's production house, director and producer to remove the scene.

When confronted, other sources from the unit maintained that it was just a funny situation in the movie, that wasn't meant to target any particular brand.

Dia's movie gets Shah Rukh Khan's blessings

Dia Mirza couldn't have asked for a bigger blessing for her maiden production. After all, none other than the King Khan himself has consented to make a guest appearance in her movie Love Breakup Zindagi. Zayed Khan, the movie's co-producer, had earlier tried to rope in his famous Jijaji Hrithik Roshan for the role but date problems played spoilsport.

Anyway, SRK rose to the occasion and immediately gave a nod when Zayed approached him. Shah Rukh is said to be extremely fond of Zayed ever since he played big brother to the fledgling actor in Main Hoon Na.

Vishal Bharadwaj keeps Shah Rukh Khan on hold!

Vishal Bharadwaj's much-anticipated collaboration with Shah Rukh Khan, 2 States, is now firmly on the backburner with the director finalising the main cast of his next fim, a social satire starring his good friend Ajay Devgn and SRK's Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi co-star Anushka Sharma.

A source close to the actress said that when she got the offer from Vishal, whom she had wanted to work with for a while, she accepted instantly.

"I loved Anushka in Band Baaja Baraat. But more than that, I can't forget her very impressive debut in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.

She is one of the finest actresses amongst the new lot," Vishal told Mumbai Mirror.

"She was always my first choice for the film. I know her socially, and thought she would be perfect as Ajay Devgn's love interest in the film."

Vishal's leading lady in his last couple of films was Priyanka Chopra, but with the indifferent response to 7 Khoon Maaf, the filmmaker seems to have moved on.

Vishal described the new film as a social satire, and "a comedy with dark undertones". It will be produced by him, Devgn and Kumar Mangat.

It will go on floor early next year, tentatively in mid-January.

The idea for the film came to Vishal after 2 States, a Sajid Nadiadwala production of an adaptation of Chetan Bhagat's book, was not moving forward due to a variety of reasons.

"Vishal and Ajay met at the premiere of Pyaar Ka Punchnaama, a film produced by Kumar Mangat.

They got talking there, and only a few days later, Vishal announced his new project with Ajay," a source said.

So where does that leave 2 States? Vishal stressed that he was not abandoning the project, and only pushing it back for a while.

"I've always wanted to work with Shah Rukh Khan.

We shall work together very soon."

Shah Rukh and Ajay Devgn, incidentally, have not been known to be on good terms since 1995, when SRK replaced him in Rakesh Roshan's Karan Arjun.

The there has reportedly been no thaw between them even though Devgn's wife Kajol and Shah Rukh are good friends.

Is Shah Rukh IIFA's new ambassador?

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 Shah Rukh would make a wonderful ambassador," revealed our source.

However, when contacted, Sabbas denied saying, "The question of approaching anyone doesn't arise."

However, our source reiterates, "Praising the trailer, Joseph commented that after Mr Bachchan, bringing in Shah Rukh seems to be perfectly natural."

Last year, after the Bachchans opted out of the award ceremony in Colombo, the organisers had approached Salman Khan to perform the grand finale. Consequently, buzz arose that he was going to be the brand ambassador.

But this year, the Dabangg actor couldn't make it to Toronto, as he was busy with Bodyguard. That's when IIFA approached SRK, who agreed to perform at the function.
