Shahrukh-Hrithik: The highlight of Krazzy 4

Friday, March 28th, 2008

After wowing the audiences with superstar Shah Rukh Khan‘s item song for ‘Krazzy 4‘, Rakesh Roshan and Director Jaideep Sen are all set with one more ace up their sleeve- an item song by dance king Hrithik Roshan!! What‘s more, the film is set to create a record of sorts with the two stars having their item numbers choreographed to the tunes of one song- the title number ‘BreakFree..‘ of ‘Krazzy 4‘!!

The promos of the stunningly choreographed Hrithik‘s song will start airing this week, and from what we hear, it has some the best dance moves ever! Says the director, “It was a delight to direct SRK and I must say the song is getting popular day by day. Hrithik‘s song is on the same tune but there is a slight change in lyrics. He has danced brilliantly as usual and it shows!!…I am very lucky that two mega stars have danced to my title song for my debut film…. Also Rakhi Sawant‘s song is for the masses as she has a certain amount of class and is famous through her item songs. It was great working experience with her as well!”

‘Krazzy 4‘ is a light-hearted comedy focusing on four ‘Krazzy‘ guys - Arshad Warsi, Rajpal Yadav, Irrfan Khan and Suresh Menon along with their psychiatrist Juhi Chawla. Releasing on April 11, 2008, it is directed by debutant Jaideep Sen and produced by Rakesh Roshan under his banner FilmKraft.

Amitabh Bachchan back on TV

Friday, March 28th, 2008

After a successful stunt on television as the host of Kaun Banega Crorepati for two seasons, Amitabh Bachchan is set to woo television audiences once again.

However, this time Big B will be seen in the ‘hot seat’ as a celebrity guest after being roped in for the grand finale of Chhote Ustaad . Confirming this, a source said, “Hopefully, this will finally put an end to all the talk about a fall-out between the channel and Amitabh Bachchan.” Interestingly, the star had turned down several TV offers in the past.

And among the rumours doing rounds is one of him turning down the offer of a show that was to be slotted at the same time as a to-be-launched Shah Rukh Khan-hosted show.

Now it seems like even Big B couldn’t resist the temptation of joining the ranks of other Bollywood stars who have been celebrity guests on similar reality shows. He will also be promoting his upcoming film Bhootnath on the show. Is choice ko lock kar diya jaaye!

Tabu‘s dislike for Irfaan Khan!

Friday, March 28th, 2008

So Amisha Patel has gone up in life and signed Shah Rukh Khan’s Billoo Barber, where SRK plays Krishna and Irrfan plays Sudama.

We know that SRK had offered the role to Tabu first, but Tabu rejected it. One reason was, of course, that the role didn’t offer much for her. But there’s another reason too. And that’s the presence of Irrfan in the cast.

It’s a fact that Tabu and Irrfan have crackling chemistry on screen and a bitter
relationship off it. The main draw of The Namesake was the draw of Tabu and Irrfan for each other, in Maqbool, they were red hot with each other. But it’s also true that for the most part they didn’t talk to each other all through the making of The Namesake.

The dislike is not really mutual. It’s more on Tabu’s part than Irrfan’s. Her irritation with Irrfan stems from the fact that he likes to let on as if they’re truly drawn to each other off-screen as well. A close friend of Tabu says, “Tabu doesn’t like Irrfan showing to the world that there’s more to their relationship than actually is.”

For instance, with other people around, he talks to her more intimately on the phone than he would otherwise. It annoys Tabu no end.The dislike surfaced visibly when the media once asked Tabu about the party that Uma Thurman had thrown for the cast of The Namesake. “It was no big deal, what can I say?” she had replied, adding, “Ask Irrfan about it, he likes to talk about these things.” A not-so-veiled barb, surely.

So, no thanks. Tabu didn’t want to play Sudama, that’s Irrfan’s, wife. That too, without a meaty role to boot.
