It feels as if it was only yesterday that Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Om Shanti Om’ was released, which made us realize of the importance of “ek chutki sindoor” in a woman’s life. It also helped some hopeless romantics muster courage to go to their crushes and propose with ‘shiddat’ so that the whole universe conspires to bring them together. This movie taught us how to soothe our souring hearts by reminding ourselves that if nothing is going right, then “Picture abhi baaki hai mere dost.” While, we fans took home some of those kickass words of wisdom, Japan too took something from this movie and that was…inspiration to create a Broadway style musical play.

This movie was actress Deepika Padukone’s debut movie and has already completed 10 years now. Anyone who doesn’t feel old yet? Well, the Japanese version is titled ‘Oomu Shanti Oomu’ and kicked-off in Osaka yesterday and Farah Khan, like a proud mother, was present at the opening. She even tweeted about this play that was directed by Koyanagi Naoko and staged by the Takarazuka Revue theatre group. Farah also wrote that this is Bollywood’s first film to get its own international musical adaptation.

While, we fans were getting pumped up about this play and were cheering for Om and Shanti in our hearts, there was one particular tweet that took away both the limelight and our breath at the same time. The tweet was from none other than our Om Kapoor aka King Khan who teased us with a sequel of the movie.
Arre yaar. Let’s do it in part 2 now. Last nite kids telling me how much they love OSO https://t.co/g0tL0b78zt

Their interaction continued and with each tweet, our excitement gradually rose and has now reached to a pinnacle, which won’t come down until and unless their words come true.
Wish you were here to see how much love our film gets even in its 10 th year.. @iamsrk ??????arrigato https://t.co/pcXguAtmFW

Farah further posted a picture of an ubercool jacket with Om written on it and like her caption we too feel that SRK would have looked killer and dapper wearing that jacket. Well, maybe they can make a sequel just to include that jacket and SRK in one frame.
V should hav made this awesome jacket 4 @iamsrk .. OSO musical dress rehearsal was awesome..japan truly celebrating the film ??
Shah Rukh Khan is currently busy with his upcoming movie ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’ opposite actress Anushka Sharma.
