SRKActress Kalki Koechlin says she wishes to work on screen with all the Khans of Bollywood, but she has a softer corner for Shah Rukh Khan.

Asked if she wants to work with any of the top Khans of the industry, Kalki told IANS: “I want to work with all three Khans, but if you ask me my favourite, it has to be Shah Rukh.

“Shah Rukh is my childhood crush. I met him few times in real life as well and he is very charming.”

When it comes to a new bunch of actors, she thinks she “will look nice” with Ranbir Kapoor.

“We worked in ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’ and I really liked him as co-star. He is a natural actor and spontaneous. It would be interesting to work with him,” she added.

The actress is trying to balance her career between mainstream and indie films by working with directors like Zoya Akhtar and Ayan Mukerji in films like “Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara” and “Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani”, along with movies like “Margarita, With a Straw” and “A Death in the Gunj” which were popular in festival circuits.

Sharing her wish-list of directors, Kalki said: “I would like to work with an artist like Vishal Bhardwaj. His cinema is a piece of art, he writes the story, he makes the music of the film and it’s amazing. I think it would be interesting to work with Vikramaditya Motwane as well.”

Currently, Kalki is looking forward to her upcoming film “Ribbon”, also featuring Sumeet Vyas. It is releasing on November 3.

From being a speaker, to actually hosting the show, Shah Rukh Khan has said that TED Talks is one of the biggest achievements of his life. SRK gave his first TED Talk earlier this year in Vancouver, and has always stated how big of a fan he is of the show.

And, now he is all set to host the Indian version of the show called ‘TED Talks : Nayi Soch’. So, basically TED, which stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design, is a media organization which posts talks online for free distribution, under the slogan “ideas worth spreading”.

Obviously, the first and foremost reason has to be the King Khan himself. ‘Nayi Soch’ is all set to bring back SRK to the small screen. It has been quite some time since he hosted ‘Kya Aap Paanchvi Pass Se Tez Hain?’ and had a brief stint of hosting ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’, and you have to admit, SRK’s involvement in TED Talks is one of the most talked about things regarding the show.

2. The History of TED Talks

With early emphasis on technology and design, the focus of the show has been broadened to include talks on many scientific, cultural, and academic topics. With so many different topics being covered, the amount of knowledge being offered though these talks is honestly unparalleled. With the new Indian version, we can look forward to various perspectives of people from different walks of life.

3. Oprah Winfrey

Well, there are rumours going around that International celebrity TV host, Oprah Winfrey, has been approached to make an appearance on the show. A source said, “Shah Rukh met Oprah when she attended Parmeshwar Godrej’s party in India 5 years ago. He connected with her so well that he decided to call her back to India, and this time on a show that would be honoured to have such an influential person talk to the Indian audiences.”

4. SRK’s engaging approach

As mentioned above, SRK delivered an inspiring 18-minute talk on TED2017’s theme – The Future You, earlier this year. The host, Chris Anderson, even called SRK a “renaissance man”, and that has set the tone for what we have in store for us. Moreover, SRK’s famous wit knows no bounds and he has proved what an incredible host he is with his previous stints, and this time won’t be any different.

5. All the Celebrities that are set to appear

Reportedly, seven episodes have already been shot, and the show boasts of an interesting lineup of celebrities from Bollywood and the sports industry. To name a few, Javed Akhtar, Mithali Raj, and Karan Johar, have already shot for the show.

shah-rukh-khan-suhana-abram-aryanFor a superstar with immense popularity and fame comes very little room for privacy. When we talk about a renowned actor like Shah Rukh Khan, his every move is caught by the paparazzi. Though the actor has always been willing to pose for the shutterbugs, he is certainly unhappy the way how media is capturing AbRam Khan outside his school.

Not only SRK but his youngest son, AbRam too is an internet darling and of course a media favourite. SRK has no issues regarding the media following his son but apparently his concerned about AbRam being clicked at his school.

A source revealed to a daily, “Shahrukh does not want any pictures of AbRam in school or of Aryan. He is very particular about it. But a couple of people are stationed outside. It is rare to get a picture of AbRam”.

Previously too SRK has requested the photographers to not click pictures of AbRam entering or exiting school. However, despite his plea, the photographers are often found stationed outside the school premises to click candid of the little one.

We feel that Shah Rukh Khan is just being a doting father and ensuring that his son enjoys his schooling like a regular kid. What do you guys think? Tell us in the comments below.

Shah Rukh Khan is a charmer; the man totally knows how to move everyone—be it on screen or off screen on social media. Time and again we have heard about his life tales that have always given us hopes and inspiration.

His stories before he made it so big in B-town has been aspiring for many who aim to be like him. Today he is known as the Badshah of Bollywood, and believe it or not, he has earned it. Despite making it so big, he is still a gentleman and remembers his roots. And here’s a big proof that SRK remembers where he came from and we are loving him even more!

On Teacher’s day Delhi Times shared a beautiful video where SRK’s teacher from his college Hansraj recalled him as a guy who always turned up late in class with a hockey stick. Check out what she has to say about the man who rules millions of hearts today.

Post ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’, SRK fans are now awaiting a real visual fest where you’d get to acknowledge his brilliant acting prowess. The king of B-town is known to dabble in movies that are high on entertainment and also do stuff that reflects his talent. His upcoming movie with Aanand L Rai is going to be an interesting project, primarily because he is essaying the role of a dwarf.

While the comparisons with Kaman Hassan’s ‘Appu Raja’ are only natural, you must remember  that for essaying a role of this kind, the only thing an actor can use are his acting skills. So the charm and music take a back seat. Kamal Hassan is still remembered for his iconic performance.

However, according to the latest reports about this untitled project, SRK’s character is actually inspired by Tyrion Lannister from the epic series called ‘Game Of Thrones.’

A close source was quoted as saying ,“The source of Shah Rukh’s character is definitely on the lines of Tyrion Lannister, who is happy and always celebrating his life. Shah Rukh will play a happy dwarf, who brings families together.” In the show, Tyrion is initially looked down upon by his own family and being a dwarf only makes him stand out. Apparently Shah Rukh’s character will be on the similar lines.

The movie is yet to have an official announcement regarding the leading lady but for long, the rumours of Katrina Kaif being a pivotal part of it have been floating around. The movie is probably going to release in December 2018.

There goes a popular saying, “You scratch my back, I will scratch yours!” And the people in tinsel town effortlessly do it. Well, it’s as simple as “you sing praises to me and I will return the favour”.

Every time a film releases in B-town, the makers of the film often hold a special screening for B-town people. The close friends and colleagues are invited and they become the first one to critic the film before anyone of us gets the chance. The Khans are often seen raving about each other’s film, giving us an impression that it is the best film of the year maybe. Do you remember SRK before ‘Tubelight’? Or Aamir Khan after watching ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’?

These celebs rule social media and often tweet about what they think about the film. Sometimes the reviews are genuine and we vouch for such movies too. However, lately, it looks like a trend that no matter how pathetic and disappointing the film is, the prominent celebs go all gaga over it.

Well, we are all up for the right of opinion but at least don’t fake it to the world. When a movie is a disaster, call it so! Famous Bollywood celebs like Karan Johar, Shah Rukh Khan, Varun Dhawan, Alia Bhatt are often seen tweeting great things about the film. And when we go and watch that film, all we tend to wonder is if we both saw the same film?

Here are 5 Bollywood movies of 2017 that tanked at the box-office and left us disappointed but bro, you got to see how celebs made it sound like a great piece of art:

Jab Harry Met Sejal

Lately none of Shah Rukh Khan’s films are performing well at the box office. But how can we ever blame King Khan for it? After all he is the badshah and the whole B-town needs to bow to the king. Exactly was the case when ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’ released. While the whole world couldn’t get over the fact that why such a film was even created in the first place, you had director Ashutosh Gowariker and actress Kriti Sanon tweeting boosting SRK’s ego.

Shah Rukh reloaded with ROMANCE!! @AnushkaSharma bahuuut SARAS chhe! @iamsrk CHANGAA hai ji CHANGAA!! #IMTIAZALI  ‘s #JHMS behtareen hai!

— Ashutosh Gowariker (@AshGowariker) August 3, 2017

Love RomComs..and when its SRK,its a MUST watch!Cant wait to see #JHMS�!Love to my 3 favourites @iamsrk sir, Imtiaz sir, @AnushkaSharma ��🤗

Tubelight

Tubelight(c) SKF

This Salman Khan film was the most disappointing film of the year. Based on the 1952 Indo-China war, the film was a lost cause and you don’t have to be a ‘Tubelight’ to figure this one out. However, Preity Zinta was on another tangent and rooted for this film to be a blockbuster. Unfortunately, not everyone felt the same.

Congrats @BeingSalmanKhan & @kabirkhankk for yet another blockbuster� Absolutely LOVED��the time, innocence & world of #Tubelight�Ting 😘 pic.twitter.com/L22eXkIyM5

— Preity zinta (@realpreityzinta) June 23, 2017

#Tubelight is an innocent film that warms the heart and touches the soul. It gives us faith and love in a time of war. @kabirkhankk

A Gentlemen

A Gentelman(c) Fox India

A movie that was too cliché to even watch. Sidharth Malhotra didn’t fit the bill. But you had filmmaker Karan Johar applauding the film as if it was a masterpiece.

#AGentlemanSundarSusheelRisky is a full on entertaining ride with kick ass action and many laughs! A non stop adrenaline rush!!!

— Karan Johar (@karanjohar) August 24, 2017

#AGentlemanSundarSusheelRisky …@S1dharthM looks looks and acts like a bonafide action star! In full form! And @Asli_Jacqueline is LOVELY!!

— Karan Johar (@karanjohar) August 24, 2017

Really Karan? Were you day dreaming?

 

Raabta

Raabta(c) T Series

This is one of those movies that literally had the power to fuck with your head so bad, that you couldn’t help yourself from using curse words. But then B-town loved it. Varun was all ‘blahhhh….blahhh…..blahhh’. All those who heard him, regretted booking their tickets big time. On the other hand Ayushmann Khurana was just being nice to his co-star Kriti Sannon, after all they were working on a film together.

#Raabta should be only seen in the theatre make it your weekend watch. Best of luck to the entire team #dinoo. Hearing great stuff

— Varun PREM Dhawan (@Varun_dvn) June 9, 2017

#Raabta is pure unadulterated love. @itsSSR is such a superstar material with immense range. @kritisanon is fab and an adorable revelation�👌

— Ayushmann Khurrana (@ayushmannk) June 8, 2017

 

Begum Jaan

Begum Jaan(c) Vishesh Films

Well, there is no doubt that Vidya Balan aced her character, but the film wasn’t good enough to entertain the audience and make big bucks at the box office. The film tanked but man Alia Bhatt’s tweet would have definitely made you believe otherwise. If I am not mistaken wasn’t the film produced by her home production? #JustSaying!

#BegumJaan releases today! Such a moving film with such powerful performances! @vidya_balan is fantastic!! A big dose of COURAGE!  Go watch👊

Imtiaz Ali and Ranbir Kapoor make a team that is a balm for every achy heart out there. The man who gave us beautiful tales with effortless storytelling in the form of ‘Rockstar’ and ‘Tamasha’ , and the insanely good looking star who can act flawlessly are apparently coming together , yet again.

‘Rockstar’ is as cult a film as you can get. ‘Tamasha’ didn’t do too well commercially but definitely struck a chord with all hearts. Ranbir and Deepika’s love hate chemistry in ‘Agar Tum Sath Ho’ was on another level.

The beauty of the movies that Imtiaz makes is that they tell the tales of the fragility of the heart in a beautiful, simple way. So the rumours mills are churning out news that Imtiaz has approached Ranbir with a prospective idea and he’s even got his nod for it.

According to sources, “Ranbir will be a part of Imtiaz’s next film. That’s not all, the actor will go through a massive transformation for this film as well. Imtiaz plans to show the different stages of the character’s life in the film.”  If you followed Ranbir’s interviews, you’d know that he’s announced how he’s done working on coming-of-age films. So the interesting part would be to see what this third collaboration will look like.

Ranbir is currently gearing up for the Sanjay Dutt biopic and Imtiaz recently earned a bit of flak from fans after his latest venture , ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’ flopped at the box office. The movie starred Anushka and SRK in the lead roles but still failed to impress fans. This new announcement sounds like a rainbow after a long day of rain and we actually cannot wait to see what happens with this collaboration. If they get Deepika on board as well, then it will be double whammy!
