SRK in Scorsese flick with DiCaprio?

Last year there was a huge buzz that Shah Rukh Khan is doing Hollywood filmmaker Martin Scorsese's movie with Leonardo DiCaprio. The rumours died down when Khan refused to confirm it. But recently Khan revealed that he is planning to meet Scorsese for the movie Xtrme City.

Khan told a leading website, "I had been very caught up with RA.One, Don 2 and then I straightaway got into Yashji's film. So, I could not take any time off for Xtrme City. I haven't spoken to anyone for a long time (regarding the project). A couple of days back though, I was informed that I need to send an email (about the film)."

Khan further added, "Yes, maybe when I am in the US next time without facing many problems (laughs), I plan to go and meet Scorsese to see what development has happened to it. I haven't been in touch with Scorsese. But I am sure it will be an interesting film whenever we start it. It's not a project that you can start immediately without thorough preparation," he says. Xtrme City is a cross-cultural thriller, a tale about two men from

radically different worlds. Reportedly, Khan will play the role of an underworld gangster and DiCaprio will play a New York cop in the movie.

Bollywood star vents his fury at IPL match

Some stadium officials and Shah Rukh Khan's daughter, Suhana, stepped in to restrain him as tempers began to fray.

Mr Khan had taken a group of children to watch the match. He said that officials manhandled the youngsters and were "very rude" to him.

Shah Rukh Khan imitates F1 driver!

 

Shah Rukh Khan was spotted at a mall at Lower Parel yesterday afternoon

The star, who was attending a brand endorsement event, created a buzz among shoppers. And King Khan couldn't stop himself from imitating a F1 car driver. Wonder if they too drive with their eyes closed? Well... well...

Shah Rukh Khan has high hopes from the young players in his IPL team this season

Shah Rukh Khan has high hopes from the young players in his IPL team this season

Even though Shah Rukh Khan is busy with his Yash Chopra film co-starring Katrina Kaif, he will take time off to boost the spirits of his IPL team. Says the actor, "I am shooting currently, but when I get eight to 10 days free, I will fly down to Kolkata to watch the matches."

"Hopefully, I will complete the film by July and take a couple of months off. Only then will I decide what to do next," adds Shah Rukh, squashing reports saying that he will start Rohit Shetty's Chennai Express this year. "I have been reading these reports, but I have not decided when I will start shooting."

On another note, the actor is all praise for Katrina. "I do a few films every year, and when I work with young actors, I learn a lot as they have a different way of doing scenes. Katrina is a stupendous actor. She approaches every scene differently, and as a co-star I have to adapt differently. That give and take has been absolutely fantastic," says SRK, adding that Anushka Sharma will soon join them in the film's next schedule.

Coming back to the IPL, Khan is confident about the performance of his team this season. Does he have any strategies up his sleeve? "I don't strategise...I am just an owner and support the team. We have some wonderful minds this time and they have been working very hard. I am glad that the younger boys have been doing very well. I have always been a big believer that if we have young guys doing well consistently, our team will stand to gain a lot. So hopefully it will happen this year, because most of our star players are doing well," he says. 

Meeting my idol

Shahrukh Khan fanatics hardly ever just write fan mail. They mount his picture on their altars alongside images of holy deities. They wait outside his home for days hoping to see him. One particular fan, Vishal Singh, made it into various Indian news sources for creating a shrine to him, plastering over 22,000 pictures of Khan around his home. He even legally changed his name to "Visharukh Khan." This vehement adoration is due to pure star power. To have been able to interview Shahrukh Khan, a man who has been equated with God by his admirers, was my dream come true.

Bollywood has always been my safety blanket — a way to counteract the seriousness of darker days with color and flair. Shahrukh Khan, in particular, is the embodiment of Hindi cinema for me. His very first film, Deewana released when I was just shy of one year old, while his latest film Don 2 was in theaters this past December. I have grown up with Shahrukh Khan and have consistently fallen for his various cinematic incarnations.

When I was 13, Shahrukh Khan released his biographical documentary "The Inner and Outer World of Shahrukh Khan." I remember standing with my friends amongst hundreds waiting to meet him at a promotional event in New York City. I also remember returning home that night after only seeing the license plate of his car as he drove away.

In response to my disappointment that evening, my grandmother tried to placate me, "Don't strive be someone who stands in a line of a thousand people to meet Shahrukh Khan. Because I know you will be so hardworking, so good and so successful that one day Shahrukh Khan will push a thousand people aside just to meet you."

Sure. Easier said than done, I thought. The whole world lines up to see Shahrukh Khan and I did not have the audacity or the patience to simply sit by the sidelines.

When I was first asked to interview Khan, my immediate reaction was a deafening affirmative. But few people know about my surprising second reaction — the feeling in the pit of my stomach telling me to turn it down because I foresaw myself inadvertently acting like a drooling fan rather than a journalist. But it also hit me that I would not be meeting the on-screen hero. After twenty years of getting to know his characters Raj, Rahul and Aman, I would have to meet the real Shahrukh Khan. I feared that the experience would be disenchanting. Would I have to come to terms with the fact that Raj, Rahul and Aman, the same characters to whom I turn when I need a dose of escapist Bollywood after a tough week at Yale, are exactly what I rationally know they are — fiction?

Encouraged by my close friends who told me that an interview with King Khan is a once in a lifetime opportunity (and many who said they would fight to take my place if I dared turn it down), I of course kept my promise. Did I make a fool of myself? A little. Particularly when I was under the impression that it was safe to perform a little celebratory dance after our chat because he had already been escorted out of the room (he had not). But was I disenchanted? Not at all. He was humble, he was professional, but above all he was still a star. After speaking with him, however, I did come to terms with the fact that he is human, just a wildly successful human. I learned that he is successful because he is exceedingly intelligent, he is a hard worker, he is in a profession that he loves and he is motivated to work because he wants to improve the lives of those around him. In short, he is someone that we all hope to be.

I hope that my grandmother will be proud that I took this opportunity. It would be wrong, however, to say that it transpired exactly how she said it would, that I had gotten this chance because I am successful. I had just gotten lucky. But at least I can tell her that she was partly right — Shahrukh Khan kept almost two thousand people waiting an extra seven minutes so that he could speak with me, and I cannot imagine asking for more than that.
