Buzz has it that ‘Ra.One’ has just got bigger and better for the film could make a big splash at the Box Office this Diwali as the actor-producer plans to release it in 3D format.
Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who has donned the garb of a superhero in “Ra.One”, says his new film is dedicated to all the fathers in the world.
“Ra.One is a simple story of a father and a son. There have been a lot of movies and songs dedicated to mothers but unfortunately, fathers are ignored. I being a father myself and a part of cinema, decided to give them all some space through my film,” Shah Rukh told reporters here Sunday.
“The film is dedicated to all the fathers in the world. I hope this film will help bring fathers at the front and make me a hero in the eyes of my son,” he added.
The actor, who has two children -- son Aryan, 13, and daughter Suhana, 10 -- with wife Gauri Khan, was named the global ambassador of Kingdom of Dreams situated in Gurgaon. Dressed in a black suit, shirt and tie, the star dazzled in his newly-acquired leaner look.

Aamir mum about SRK's 'Ra One'
Aamir Khan didn't say much when asked what he thought about Shah Rukh's 'Ra One'...
Actor Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan are always pitted against each other. Though the two khans are cordial with each other when they meet, there is an undercurrent of healthy competition betweeen them. When Aamir was recently asked what he thought of SRK's 'Ra One' trailers, Aamir conveniently shared that he hadn't yet seen the promos of SRK's film and so couldn't comment on it.
However, when asked if and when we'll get to see him in a superhero avatar, Aamir was quick to say, "I enjoy being hero in my movies, I don't think I can do better than being a hero. So 'superhero' looks impossible as of now."
Aamir Khan launched Darsheel Zafary in Hindi cinema with Taare Zameen Par. The kid plays a superhero in the form of Zokkomon. "I wish him well. He's a great artist. If he can fly, he should!" said Aamir encouragingly.

SRK has no time for friends like me: Juhi
Shah Rukh Khan and Juhi Chawla have been friends since their Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman days. Their last film together was Amol Palekar's Paheli.
Since then both have done cameos in each other's films, Bhoothnath, Krazzy 4 and Om Shanti Om cementing a bond, which has stayed as strong unlike many other Bollywood friendships..
They had even formed a partnership and produced films like Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani. But it dissolved. "I think Shah Rukh and I have remained friends because we stopped being business partners. I realise it's impossible to mix business with friendship," says Juhi citing the reason for it.
Admitting the fact that the friendship did have its rough phases, Juhi says, "Our relationship did go through a rough patch.
When I realized our friendship was suffering because of the partnership I chose to keep the friendship and let the business partnership go.
Today after a long gap we're again together in the IPL . Let's hope nothing goes wrong. I got to meet him at the match recently after so long. He has no time for friends like me."
However, at one point in time Shah Rukh had been by Juhi's side when she needed a friend. "When I lost my mother in Prague while shooting for Duplicate in 1998, Shah Rukh was there right beside me like a pillar of strength.
Isn't that what a true friendship is all about?"

Akon wants to act in Bollywood movies
Bollywood is his ultimate goal and India like his second home, Senegalese-American rapper and singer Akon said here Friday.
The "Beautiful" singer, who landed here on his birthday Friday, will be performing in Gurgaon and Bangalore.
"Thank you everyone for having me here. I love India and I keep looking for ways to come here. You guys show more than loyalty towards my art and my career. I don't have words to express my feelings...I hope I get many more opportunities to come here and share my talent with you. I feel like a family here. This is like a second home to me," Akon told reporters here.
He is here for the The Venky's Akon Live In Concert and will perform in Gurgaon and Bangalore.
"I'm waiting to get into Bollywood movies. That's ultimately my goal. I want to do it successfully. I'm not quite sure what character (I would play), but I definitely want to do it," said the singer, who has worked with composer Aadesh Srivastava and also sang a song for Shah Rukh Khan's forthcoming film "Ra.One".
"Working with Shah Rukh was an amazing experience. He opened me up to Bollywood. He made me see a whole new light and the possibilities. I enjoyed it so much that I'm trying to sneak in now," he added.
The singer will celebrate his 38th birthday in Pune and perform before 1,200 people at a private concert in West Inn hotel in the town.
Akon is skipping a Mumbai concert this time but looks forward to performing here soon.
"India is very big, we can't cover a lot in two days. So next time I'm going to do a tour and cover more cities," said the singer, who was dressed in all black and had come to press conference straight from the airport.
The Venky's Akon Live In Concert is being brought to the country by Netsurf Entertainment and B.M. Group and IVNO Events and Productions, in association with Thrive Entertainment and S. Raj Entertainment. Venky's, the single largest poultry brand in Asia, is the title sponsor of the two concerts.
Akon says he loves Indian audiences and the culture of the country.
"Indians never have a hard time expressing themselves, so you get a great crowd here. The most I love about India is its culture. I love the fact that it is so parallel to African culture. They never forgot their history and passed it down to the generations that's why the culture is so strong here. It's amazing. Most cultures do not put emphasis on history. The generations do not forget their traditions and carry on the legacy."

Aamir moves away from SRK
Plans have changed for the actors who were going to come together in Christmas this year...
Actors Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan were all set to clash at the box office on Christmas this year, with the release of Don 2 and Reema Kagti's yet-to-be-titled Aamir-starrer. However, plans seem to have changed.
While Shah Rukh's Don 2 will release in December as scheduled, Kagti's Aamir-starrer will be pushed to release on another day. Reason? Don was a hit, and the so sequel is being looked forward to. Also, Don 2 is made on a big budget. Reema Kagti's film, on the other hand, is a small-budget film.
The producers thought it best to shift the date for the betterment of the production. Aamir Khan let his director and producers decide on when the film should be released. So there'll be no Aamir-SRK clash this year as there was when Ghajini and Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi released around the same time in 2008.

SRK to watch Indo-Pak match with pals
He has cancelled all appointments to watch the high octane match with his close friends. Those who have received invitations for the big day, have cancelled their meetings for the day and will be heading to see the match in Mannat. Gauri is in charge of a special menu for the match.
"Oh you should see Shah Rukh during a tense match. He gets super charged, puffs away furiously and bites his nails. He will be a nervous wreck," a close friend jests. The match which will be played in Mohali is a big one. The Indian Prime Minister will be at the stadium to see it live.
Manmohan Singh has also invited his Pakistani counterpart to be his guest, to see the two countries fight for a place in the finals.
Shah Rukh Khan to do Dhoom 5?
If King Khan ever has to work in the Dhoom franchise, it has to be Dhoom 5. And there is reason behind it...
Apparently there is a joke that goes amongst Shah Rukh Khan's close friend circle that if Shah Rukh Khan is ever approached to do Dhoom he will be game for it. But not so soon! Yash Raj will have to make another two installments to be able to reach him for taking forward their Dhoom franchise. If it ever has to happen, Shah Rukh Khan will act in Dhoom 5 .
Does that sound weird? But SRK has logic behind it. With every part, the makers of Dhoom have raised the bar and introduced a new villain who was a bigger star that the earlier part. It started with John Abraham. Then they got Hrithik Roshan in Dhoom 2 and now they have Aamir Khan in Dhoom 3 . So by the time they reach the fifth part and employ all the so-called superstars in their franchise, they would need the biggest superstar of them all to play the negative lead in Dhoom 5 . And that's when Shah Rukh Khan comes into picture!
No prizes for guessing who could be the villain in Dhoom 4 then!

SRK takes to doodling
The baadshah of Bollywood has been sketching the storyboard for RA.One himself
Shah Rukh Khan is leaving no stone unturned for his forthcoming film RA.One. So much so, that the star himself has started doodling the storyboard for the film along with artist Atul Chouthmal.
Khan insisted that Atul was called back after the director Anubhav Sinha got a new storyboard artist from Hollywood.
When contacted, Atul said, "I had already signed the contract with Red Chillies and had worked on the film.
However, they hired a Hollywood artist who had worked on films like Spiderman. He had a different vision and SRK sir was keen on me as he wanted someone from Mumbai.
He thought that someone from the city would know the roads well.
And all this happened even before I met SRK. I was called at Yash Raj Studios where he met me. He then took me to Filmcity in his car where we discussed the work. He had already doodled many sketches and he was very clear on how he wanted to go about the storyboard.
I used to have creative sessions with him before every schedule and then with Anubhav Sinha. The work has really turned out good."
"We used a Spiderman toy to make everyone understand the shot. More than 50 per cent of the crew were foreigners and the storyboard went a long way in explaining things to them. It was an amazing experience working with SRK.
I made a sketch of him and presented it to him. It is now a part of the wall in Mannat," added Atul who has earlier worked in over 20 Bollywood films including Veer, Krazzy 4, Kites, Love Story 2050, 1.40 Ki Last Local and Being Cyrus.

SRK praised Salman: Abhinav
Abhinav Kashyap a.k.a. Dabangg director and brother of Anurag Kashyap, only recently visited Shah Rukh Khan at his residence and all hell broke loose. There were talks that Abhinav had left the Salman camp for Shah Rukh's. However, Abhinav Kashyap denied all of this when we put him in the hot seat.
He told us, "Yes, I did go to Shah Rukh's house. He saw Dabangg, thought it to be a good movie, and share the appreciation with me. He's an actor, I'm a director, we are a part of the same industry, there was no reason why I shouldn't have met him. I didn't meet him in hinding, I told Arbaaz that Shah Rukh had called me home and that I intended to meet him," he said.
Abhinav further added, "SRK spoke a great deal about Dabangg. He praised Salman's performance in it. He applauded Arbaaz' production efforts. He congratulated me on a job well done as well. That was really all that happened when I visited Shah Rukh."
About Abhinav's next project, it's going to be backed by Viacom 18. Nothing else has been decided yet. A film with SRK? "Well, if fate has it that we work together, we will. Nothing has been talked about so far."

10 lakh people don't make a hit: SRK
Shah Rukh Khan has been one of the most active Bollywood celebs on social networking site Twitter.
However, the star has been out of action since sometime now. Many would be content in believing that the Khan is inactive as he has no projects to promote and will be back as soon as his films near release. But the real story is very different from the common assumption.
In a recent interview when enquired about his absence from micro-blogging, Shah Rukh explained, "As an actor and as a celebrity, I often come across people who look into my eye and ask me embarrassing questions at press conferences. However, I don't have any option other than putting up a smiling face and replying to the questions even if I am upset or angry.
"It has been happening since 20 years and it happened even during my interactions on Twitter. But I am socially inept, I don't know how to handle relationships and am not very good at dealing with such questions and therefore I thought it would be best to quit," said Khan.
SRK also said that he was having a great time while on Twitter and thought it's great to deal one on one with his fans, until some people started posting crazy questions and comments. Relating one such instance SRK said, "There were comments that 'Oh he only comes on Twitter when he wants to promote his films'. Well with all due respect to everyone, I want to say that 8-10 lakh do not make a film hit."
But SRK also confirmed that he would go back to Twitter someday and as usual talk about life.

Why Shah Rukh Khan isn't watching his own Ra.One?
By Subhash K Jha
Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chillies production house is no more a one-man show. In what seems to be major revision in his working methods, Shah Rukh, known to have his finger in every pie,has decided to delegate more authority and power to his extremely efficient colleagues and directors.
This critical decision must be weighed in the light of Shah Rukh’s decision to devote the most time to what he really loves doing the most: acting and being with his family.
Says a source close to SRK, “All these years Shah Rukh has been able to devote himself with equal passion to a number of activities both within his own production house and outside.
But now he wants to focus on what he loves best. He wants to build his equity as an actor. At the same time he doesn’t want to miss out on his children’s growing years.”
To implement his new energy-conservation policy Shah Rukh has withdrawn his responsibilities towards the post-production of Ra.1.
Says the source, “Earlier whenever Shah Rukh produced films he was hand-on in every department.This time he has left the entire production and post-production in other professional hands,so much so that he hasn’t even watched the rushes of Ra1 as yet. As far as he’s concerned his job as an actor and producer in Ra1 is done. His team has now taken over.”
Most of Shah Rukh’s associates have observed that he has now become a team player.
Says a close friend, “Earlier he took personal charge of everything that flowed out of his production house.That has changed now. Maybe it’s the IPL effect on Shah Rukh. But he now insists on other professionals in his production house doing their jobs while he does his own.”
Director Anubhav Sinha confirms that Shah Rukh Khan has not seen the rushes of Ra1 yet.
“I’ve been persuading him to watch it. But he has been shrugging it off. As far as he’s concerned he’s moved on. ‘Picture ban gayi na. Now is the time to focus on its marketing,’ Shah Rukh told me.He has always been a restless soul. Now he is even more so.”
This refusal to rest on laurels and to linger on current production activities is an indication of the direction Shah Rukh’s life will take in the coming years.
It’s time for the superstar to let others in his company make their presence felt. It’s also time for the mega-star to stop being taken for granted.
For years Shah Rukh has played cameos,done guest appearances and voiceovers for friends and strangers. Now, we are told,he won’t be taken for granted.
I'll play seductress to SRK: Vidya
But engagement though is not on the cards yet. To Vidya Balan, love is when you begin to see yourself in another person's eyes and you like what you see there. On her recent trip to the city, the actor decodes 'Ishqiya'
Critical acclaim, commercial success and controversies. All that has been part of Vidya Balan's life in the recent past. And now, there are also rumours of her getting engaged to corporate honcho Siddharth Roy Kapur — who also happens to be the elder brother of actor Aditya Roy Kapur of "Guzaarish" fame. Kolkatans have even gone to the extent of claiming that since she loves all things Bengali, she has chosen to date someone with a Bengali surname! But, fact is, Siddharth Roy Kapur doesn't have roots in Bengal and the Roy part of his surname has a Punjab-connect . Vidya, who was in town to promote her commercial with Chandrabindoo, shares her Kahaani.
Three back-to-back releases — "Paa", " Ishqiya" and " No One Killed Jessica" — have had you in performance-oriented roles. As an actor, can you rate the most challenging one?
It's very difficult for me to do that. When my mother watched "Paa" , she said she felt as if she was seeing me on-screen the way I am at home. Javed saab said that all through the film, he felt I'd slip out of the character. But that never happened. After "NOKJ" released, Shabanaji said that there was not one false note in my performance. After watching "Ishqiya", Vishal (Bhardwaj) said: "I could never see you in the film. It was your character everywhere." All compliments are important but these are very special. As for myself, I still think "Paa" was the most difficult role. Playing Sabrina (Lall) was straight and one had read so much about the incident. There is a seductress in every woman. In that context, my role in "Ishqiya" wasn't that unknown to me. But before doing "Paa" , I had never connected with my maternal instincts. Moreover, it's very difficult having Mr Bachchan play my son and me having to tap his head the way I would do with my family members. I had grown up watching his movies and getting under the skin of a character that demanded all this from me was very difficult. As an actor, that's also what I like.
There's already a lot of criticism regarding you playing Silk Smitha in "The Dirty Picture" what with Vinu Chakravarthy allegedly claiming that you just don't have it in you to play that role...
I take that as a compliment. It's true that I am absolutely not like Silk Smitha. I thank Milan (Luthria) for having faith in my acting abilities to cast me in this role. Of course, I'll be needing a lot of hand-holding for this role. I am not impersonating Silk Smitha. For me, it's about the person beneath the buxom body. Many find her sexually offensive. But I feel one has to understand the choices she made during the 70s and 80s. Today, we live in a global village and are exposed to a lot of things. Reality shows encourage people to be the way they are. It's far easier for Rakhi Sawant to say what she does today without people reacting to it. But when Silk Smitha was around, it wasn't easy to be a woman and do what she did. She was clear that she wanted to be a frontrunner at any cost. If displaying her body was the path for it, she had no inhibitions about choosing that route. During those days, Silk Smitha never played the female lead in the film and yet ensured that she got equal billing as a hero. That, I think, is commendable.
Do you have any inhibitions about how bold you'll get on-screen for this movie?
I am an actor and I don't have any reservations. But yes, as I said, I will need a lot of reassurance for this role. There can be instances when I might have reservations and not want to shoot some scenes in movies because I feel they are not important in the larger scheme of things.
You've done backless shoots for magazines, used cusswords in movies and are now portraying Silk Smitha. At this age and stage in your career, do you still need to get all these vetoed by your family before shooting?
It's not about age or stage. No parent would feel comfortable to see their daughter play a seductress and discuss the role threadbare. My father, I think, didn't even understand the language in "Ishqiya" too well. My mother watched me and liked my portrayal. My family knows the profession I am into and they respect my choices. I like to share whatever is happening in my life with them. They have two questions to ask me when I have such scenes. They want to know I trust the people I am working with and if what I am doing is actually required. If I've the answers to that, they are okay with it.
You are very close to your family. Do you really have any secrets?
Of course, I do. I don't believe that my parents are my friends. They are my parents and I love that. Even when I turn 80, I'll still be their little daughter . Of course, there are some secrets that I can't share with them.
Like... being in love?
(Giggles) I thought that's my secret.
Define love and being in love...
Love is when you begin to see yourself in another person's eyes and you like what you see there. Being in love is when you begin to realize that everything else around you is inconsequential , when you feel all problems in life will surely get sorted out, when you feel very large-hearted , when you want to share that feeling with others and feel like hugging everyone around.
So, are you giving jadoo ki jhappis?
Yes, I just did. Or let me put it this way — I like when I see me now...
In his eyes?
(Laughs) I feel like a teenager now. Dil toh bachha hai ji...
In today's age when everyone is living for the moment, is marriage a necessary conclusion for a relationship?
Some things don't change. For most people, it's important to believe in the possibility of something beyond this moment. But for the moment, let me enjoy being in the moment.
From sensual, sari, Sabyasachi and SRK — what's between you and the S word? Is there a connection?
(Laughs out loud) As South Indians would say: Yesssssss. I'm ready to play seductress to SRK in a sari for a Sabya film. Hope Sabya casts SRK in the film that he is planning to direct.
While on South Indians, have you dubbed in Malayalam for 'Urumi'?
I've a song and a couple of scenes in Santosh Sivan's 'Urumi . It's my gift to my parents as they've always wanted me to do a Malayalam film. My mother always says I speak better Bengali than Malayalam. So, I've also dubbed in Malayalam for 'Urumi'
Of late, you've been a subject of controversial issues about you agreeing to pose nude for MF Husain or wearing a bikini for the annual issue of a mag or your marriage/engagement issues...
I was not even in the country when all these topics about me posing nude came up. I never posed in a bikini and all that one sees on the magazine cover is photoshop work. I plan to sue the magazine for this. As for the third issue, marriage or engagement is not on the cards.
