srk-rani-amir-salmanSalman Khan, Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan might have not done a film together yet, but they have come forward to promote Rani Mukerji’s Hichki that releases today. All 3 Khans – the biggest names of India’s entertainment industry – are promoting their dear friend Rani’s forthcoming film and wishing her well.

The makers of Rani Mukerji’s Hichki are promoting the film uniquely by asking prominent personalities to share their untold weaknesses and how they eventually converted them into massive strengths. The 3 Khans have come together to share the journey that has made them inspiring success stories for generations.

Aamir Khan, who defines superstardom with excellence, revealed that the major hichki in his life is his obsessive personality! The actor confessed, “My biggest Hichki is my obsessive personality. I get obsessed with anything that I do. I am still dealing with this Hichki and my struggle to overcome it continues.” He has applauded Yash Raj Films and Rani Mukerji for taking up the challenge of making a film around a person who deals with Tourette Syndrome. He further adds, “Hopefully when I see the film, I will be able to address my Hichki, and improve myself.”

Salman Khan opened about how he took his work casually. He revealed, “I used to have a Hichki. I used to take my work very casually. Now, that has changed as I take my work with seriousness and sincerity now. Because, now I have realised that nothing is better than work. Kaam se behtar kuch nahi hain. I guess all of you should also take your work seriously and appreciate every day that you are working.”

Shah Rukh Khan is living legend today. The outsider, the path-breaker, the icon – Hindi cinema hasn’t seen a Badshah rule with such unparalleled love and success. Yet, early on in his life, Shah Rukh faced the biggest hiccup one could face – the sudden loss of his parents.

He revealed, “My greatest Hichki moment is the death of my parents. I was 15 when my father passed away and 26 when my mother passed away. We were not financially well off, and I was studying for my Masters degree then. It was very sad for us. The empty house without my parents used to come to bite us (my sister and me). The loneliness, pain and sadness of the loss of both my parents, could have been overwhelming enough to take over my life wholly. I decided to overcome this Hichki moment by letting acting fill up my entire life.”

Rani adds “Through Hichki, we have tried to bring to focus important social messages like winning over discrimination and not letting one’s weakness walk all over their dreams, their ambitions. It is extremely overwhelming to see all my dear friends and colleagues come forward to reveal how they overcame their weaknesses and inspire millions of people with their stories. I’m grateful to each one of them for their courage to speak openly about their struggles and victories.”

Directed by Siddharth P Malhotra and produced by Maneesh Sharma, Hichki is set to touch the hearts of audiences as it releases today.

Talking about it Aamir Khan had said, “My dream project is to make the Mahabharata but I’m afraid of starting the project as I know it will consume at least 15-20 years of my life. My favourite character is Karna, but I don’t know if I’ll be able to play him due to my physique. I may just have to play Krishna. I also liked the character of Arjun. He was the only person who asked Krishna why he had to kill his own people.”

Aamir further added, “I’m a huge fan of SS Rajamouli’s (Baahubali director) work and if he ever plans to make Mahabharata, I’d love to play Krishna or Karna. I might actually go with Krishna.”

Wife Mira Rajput Kapoor and daughter Misha, who had joined him at the shoot of the Batti Gul Meter Chalu recently, have been under the weather since last week. It was during the shoot of a courtroom scene earlier this week that Kapoor, who had a sore throat then, complained of uneasiness.

“Shahid was feeling unwell but continued with the shoot nonetheless. His sore throat got aggravated as he had to deliver a dialogue in a high pitch. By Tuesday, he was down with high fever. It was then that the doctor recommended that he take rest. He was also advised to not strain his vocal cords. So, the shoot was canceled for the day,” says the insider.

“Worried about the schedule amiss owing to his health, Shahid insisted on resuming the shoot after a day’s rest. However, when his health deteriorated on Wednesday the producers compelled him to fly back to Mumbai and take adequate rest”, further added the insider. Shahid barely had three days of work left on this schedule.

Next schedule of the film, which revolves around the issue of electricity theft, is slated for the first week of April. Shahid, Mira, and Misha returned to the city last evening. A source close to the actor informs, “He has a viral infection and has been advised to rest it out this week”.

So, a couple of Reema’s assistants along with some crew members went to meet Akshay.

tiger_jacqRecreating popular songs from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s has become a trend in Bollywood. The newest addition to this is Jacqueline Fernandez starrer ‘Ek Do Teen’ which originally starred the Dhak Dhak girl Madhuri Dixit.

Honestly, when the news of the same broke out we couldn’t hold our excitement given that the song was a phenomenal number of that time and now of the fabulous dancers in Bollywood – Jacqueline will be shaking a leg in this re-created version. And when the song finally released we were left thoroughly disappointed. ‘EK DO Teen’ has been currently receiving mixed reviews, majorly negative ones.

We recently interacted with the lead of Baaghi 2, Tiger Shroff and asked for his comment on the debacle of this song. He responded stating, “I thought that was expected though. When you do a remake, you are bound to get mixed reactions. Over here the only idea behind Ek Do Teen was to pay tribute to the legend like Madhuri ma’am. Nobody can match up to her. Let’s put that out there and make it clear”.

“That being said, I think Jacqueline worked very hard and did a good job on her part. Ganesh Acharya did a great job choreographing it. He was a dancer in the original song with Madhuri ma’am. So that being said, in no way we were trying to blow our trumpet. That’s not the idea. The idea is to pay homage to Madhuri ma’am and relive the tune of Ek Do Teen”, concluded Shroff.

Not only Tiger but co-star Disha Patani too gave her views on the same. She expressed, “No, it’s doing so well. Look at the positive, we received a million views. Honestly, Views count, they matter. It’s got so many views in one day. People are comparing and you can’t compare it to Madhuri ma’am. That is an iconic song. This is just a tribute. It’s nothing even close to her. It’s a modern remix for the people who were probably not even born in that era”.
