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."

Something About SRK-Yash Chopra’s Next
Several looks of the leading protagonist of Yash Chopra's next yet untitled have been revealed and these stills have only raised curiosity levels in the trade as well as among the aam janta. We're told the wait is over and the first teaser of this film will be launched in August.
So come August 15, the makers of the film will release a 90-second teaser of the film along with the film Ek Tha Tiger.There's more. Almost all cinemas across the country as well as hoardings will sport three different posters of the film.
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!

New Delhi: The last time we saw Shah Rukh Khan sporting those delicious six pack abs in 'Om Shanti Om', the entire nation went about drooling on King Khan's hotness quotient. However, the washboard tummy did not last for a long time.
But SRK is yet again gearing up for something bigger and better this time with Farah Khan's film 'Happy New Year'. 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.
Sources reveal that Shah Rukh, on his part, has promised to do as directed by Farah and will work on his body to get in the desired form before the film goes on floors in September.
'Happy New Year' is being co-produced by SRK along with old buddy Farah. "We make a good team. Our last fight has made our bond grow stronger", Farah added.

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.
