Shah Rukh Khan starrer Rakesh Sharma bio-pic Salute cuts down heroine’s role?

Even while we rejoice over the empowerment of female actors in films like Hichki, Veere Di Wedding and Raazi there comes the dismaying news that the role of the female actor in Shah Rukh Khan starrer Salute, the proposed bio-pic on astronaut Rakesh Sharma, is being pruned down as no major actress is willing to play the part the astronaut’s wife.

For those who came in late, this Rakesh Sharma bio-pic was to star Aamir Khan who opted out. Now Shah Rukh Khan plays the lead in Salute. Apparently, Priyanka Chopra and Kareena Kapoor Khan were approached to play Mrs Sharma, but they both felt they would be swamped out in script by the overpowering male protagonist.

The latest on Salute is that the makers have chosen to cut down the leading lady’s part and offer it to a secondary or a new actress. The logic being applied is, why invest so much time energy and money in an A-list heroine when the focus is on Shah Rukh Khan playing Rakesh Sharma?

Keeping the tradition of Throwback Thursday alive, Preity Zinta shared a photo from the 90s, which screams nostalgia. The photo features Preity Zinta with Saif Ali Khan, Rani Mukerji with Arjun Rampal and Shah Rukh Khan with Priyanka Chopra.

Preity Zinta took to her Instagram account to share the photo and captioned it as, “Those were the days when there was no social media and we all liked each other ! Today we like each other’s comments but hardly have time to hang out like this (sic)!”

Preity has worked in films like Dil Se, Veer Zara, Kal Ho Na Ho and many other films with Shah Rukh Khan. With Saif, she has shared screen space in films Kya Kehna, Salaam Namaste. Talking of Arjun Rampal, she has worked in the film Dil Hai Tumhaara. Rani Mukerji and Preity sizzled in the film Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega, and their song, Piya piya o piya piya went on to become a chartbuster. They have also worked together in Veer Zara with Shah Rukh.

After tying the knot with Gene Goodenough, she hasn’t been seen on the big screen. However, vacationing in California and Indian Premier League (IPL) has kept the dimpled-beauty occupied.

Shah Rukh Khan’s Alibaug property case verdict delayed

King Khan aka Shah Rukh Khan is never off the headlines. However, apart from his much-awaited film ‘Zero’, what has kept him the limelight is his legal matter on one of his properties. As per reports, the difficulties for him prevail as the Income Tax Department continues to probe into his Alibaug property matter.

Reportedly, the ‘Raees’ actor can’t take a sigh of relief till December 2018 from the Income Tax department which is currently investigating the case.

The ‘Zero’ actor has been accused of buying the Alibaug property under the false pretense of using it for agricultural purposes and has instead built a farmhouse on the land. Reportedly, the land is owned in the name of Deja vu Farms Pvt Ltd., which was acquired under Section 63 of the Bombay Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1948 (which stipulates that only a farmer can buy agricultural land).

Apparently, as per reports it has been utilized for the luxurious purpose. Therefore, the property dispute has reached a point of hearing to New Delhi.

If reports are to be believed, then Shah Rukh Khan has been roped in to star in the Hindi remake of R Madhavan’s ‘Vikram Vedha’. However, it’s not easy to woo over the Badshah of Bollywood.

Condition one is that R Madhavan will play his role even in the remake and that he reprises the part of Vijay Sethupathi; the other one is that Neeraj Pandey will not only produce but also direct the film.

The original director duo, Pushkar and Gayatri were supposedly retained for the remake too. However, with SRK’s conditions, the scenario might change. Let’s wait and watch.

Shah Rukh Khan: Death is a hiccup from which there is no coming back

As a unique promotional activity for Rani Mukerji’s upcoming film, the actress asked a few prominent personalities, Shah Rukh Khan – being one of them about their life’s biggest hiccup

Shah Rukh Khan reveals the biggest hiccup in his life.

Shah Rukh Khan is a 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. 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. SRK reveals that harnessing the pain and grief of his loss into his passion for acting has been his way of overcoming this massive Hichki of his life. And the rest, as they say, is history.

Shah Rukh Khan reveals, “My greatest Hichki moment is the death of my parents. I was 15 when my father passed away and 24 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 thisHichkimoment by letting acting fill up my entire life.”

He adds, “I never quite let go of the pain, but I also used it to make me completely focus on my profession. People close to me will tell you that acting is my vent, my window of manifesting these overwhelming emotions. I always say this that one morning, when I wake up, I will realise that I have spent all these emotions and now have nothing more to give (as an actor). Otherwise, death is a hiccup from which there is no coming back. I realised that and therefore, overcame it by giving my work, my all. God might bring a hiccup to you in this life but he will also give you multiple ways to deal with it in this lifetime. I could find my family (the love and sense of belonging) amongst my friends and colleagues in the film industry again.”
