The actor, who is known to try out different mediums of entertainment (be it Films/ T.V. / Sports- IPL), is now getting into something which is a shift from the dream world into a world of reality. In case you are wondering what we are talking about, it's the latest project that King Khan is part of called Shah Rukh Khan Boulevard. For the uninitiated, Shah Rukh Khan Boulevard is an AED 8 billion signature beachfront residential development at the picturesque Dana Island in Ras Al Khaimah, one of the seven Emirates of the UAE. Besides 10 premium residential towers and its fair share of high-end hotels and commercial complexes, the Boulevard will also have an underwater discotheque and lounge connected by a glass tunnel, a sit-in theatre, a shopping mall, called the Shah Rukh Khan Plaza, and a public square on the beach, the first of its kind in the world. The actor, who was in Dubai recently at the announcement of this mega project, said that this is the first time that he is venturing out into something which doesn't require him to sing and dance around trees. The actor is involved in this project along with UAE's TSA Group which in turn will work closely with L.A. based architect Tony Ashai to make this dream a reality. Shah Rukh also spoke highly of the love and support that he has received every time from fans in the UAE and said that it was always his dream to be involved in such a project that will help in giving people a quality lifestyle experience. Even the first set of print ads of the Shah Rukh Khan Boulevard has the actor talking about things which cant be made real in the world of cinema and how some things work and feel best only when they are real. Whether the Shah Rukh Khan Boulevard will indeed be a 'Real Lifestyle Experience' is something which we would know only when the project is completed in 2012.Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 14 Oct 2008 | 12:58 pm Big B to star in PNC's thriller titled The ActorAmitabh Bachchan is undoubtedly one of the greatest actors we have in Bollywood.

Source: NDTV Entertainment News | 14 Oct 2008 | 10:30 am "Heroes has nothing to do with war, fights and violence" - Salman KhanDownload Heroes wallpapers Now you really need to be lucky to have a sunny day with 18 degrees in London in the month of mid October. Or should I simply say that Vipul Shah is too lucky? It's 1 pm in London and I get ready to visit Ajay Devgan and Salman Khan on the sets of London Dreams. I was given the deadline of 2pm but then there was no need to rush as both were going to be on the set one hour late. Bollywood timings you know? But the result was the opposite. Being stuck in the Underground train due to a signal failure, I reached the beautiful London Bridge location 20 minutes late. Ajay and Salman were seated in their tent with a couple of electronic guitars. Their co-star, MTV VJ Rannvijay walks in. Vipul is behind the camera as usual almost ready for the song sequence with extras getting their steps right. In walks the gorgeous Asin. Both Salman and Asin arm in arm get the shot right in three takes. Sallubhai walks in the tent again where I was chatting with Ajay. I ask Salman if he could give me an exclusive on Heroes. To my surprise, he grabs my hand and takes me on one side and says, "Lets do this dude". We sit on a flat concrete seating and just as I was about to take out my dictating machine, Salman says, "The Hero is here, start recording". Hello Hero! (Laughs) Nice way to start huh! But the ultimate hero is not me but Sohail Khan. Watch out for him. Sohail has done really well for himself, hasn't he? Yes. When Sohail did Maine Dil Tujhko Diya, he was appreciated in the film but the film didn't do really well. So somewhere down the line he got a bit demoralized. He was doing well as a director and with his production company. At that point of time he wanted to do action but the fact was that he was good at comedy. He is one of the few people who can do justice to action and comedy. But as a family we thought that he should concentrate on comic roles. That's when Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya, God Tussi Great Ho, Jaane Tu...Ya Jaane Na, Hello and now Heroes happened. When Sohail did Maine Dil Tujhko Diya, he was appreciated in the film but the film didn't do really well. So somewhere down the line he got a bit demoralized. Your absence was really missed at the premiere of your recently released Hello. You're right. I truly missed the premiere. But I was here in London shooting for London Dreams. Also because the whole family was present at the premiere and it's the first time I've stayed away from my family on Id. As you must be aware by now that Mr. Bachchan is in the hospital. Anything you'd like to convey to him or his well wishers through this interview? Yeah of course. He is one of the senior most and talented actors we have in our industry today. It affects the industry big time. We all are worried for him. Abhishek is too close to Mr. Bachchan and vice versa. So we are confident that he will be fine and don't forget that Mr. Bachchan is a fighter and will come out as a winner. But something like this to happen on his birthday is quite depressing. Mr. Bachchan is a fighter and will come out as a winner from his illness. Is Heroes a tribute to the Indian jawans in a way? Heroes isn't about the Indian jawans or the Indian soldiers or against Pakistan. It's about two guys who just want to have fun in life and then they get an exercise to find out whether joining the army is important or not. The jawans in Heroes played by Sunny, Bobby, Dino and myself can be Pakistani, American, Chinese or Japanese but you will find such guys anywhere. Infact, there is one of my dialogues in the film saying, "Yeh jung kab khatam hogi?" and my co-star replies, "Yeh jung thodi hain. Jung to tab hoti thi jab raja maharaja khud aage aate the ladne ke liye. Jis din woh neta jo yeh treaty sign karte hain, woh ladenge, tab yeh jung khatam hogi". It's a very meaningful film. Heroes isn't about the Indian jawans or the Indian soldiers or against Pakistan. Vatsal Seth brought to my attention that you did not smoke a cigarette just because you were wearing a turban. Very touching I should say? Yeah, that's true. That's the reason I am trying to quit smoking. I normally don't talk about smoking and I try not to smoke whenever possible. Well, it means that you not only respect your country here in Heroes but also other cultures. If you're going to respect somebody's religion and somebody's culture, I think they're going to respect your culture and your religion. I believe that all the religions are basically the same. They preach and teach the same things. It's just that they have different ways of doing it. But I don't understand this Hindu - Muslim rifts sometimes. Tell me one Hindu man or a girl who does not have a Muslim friend or the vice versa. This is just a card that the politicians play and some people do this for money too. I believe that all the religions are basically the same. They preach and teach the same things. It's just that they have different ways of doing it. Do you think Vatsal Seth has a long and a bright future ahead of him? He is the cute 'Tarzan' Boy. He is an adorable kid. Even though he is around 26 or 27, he looks 15 to 16 year old. He is training hard and trying to put on a bit of weight. And once he gets that, he will be an even better looking boy, not that he is not now. You know, those lover boy roles which Kumar Gaurav, Aamir Khan and I've done in the past don't work now. It's time for a change, a drastic change. Vatsal will have to change his image if he wants to survive in the industry. With this film, he will do justice to his role just as Riteish, Aftab and Arshad have done in their films. Two hero projects are good for him right now. I think he has already signed three to four films. Click above for more stills From a serious conversation to something not that serious - Preity Zinta. Let's talk about her. (Laughs) She is a serious actress but sometimes she is a complete brat. Can you believe it; she went to some acting classes to learn the Punjabi accent. So when she came and started talking in Punjabi, I was shocked. It was too good. I've worked with Preity in more than five films now. So we jell along well and have a good rapport. Is it true that Heroes has nothing to do with war on the battle field? Yes. Heroes has nothing to do with war, fights and violence. It has nothing in it. Sohail and Vatsal have to deliver three letters to the parents of the three shaheed jawans. Heroes is not a Gadar or a Border or Maa Tujhe Salaam. When you see this film, you'll come to know that it is a very entertaining film with an important message. You play one of the jawans in Heroes. How did you make your character look rough and tough? First of all, I did not put a fake beard. I wanted to grow my own beard and make it look very authentic. Then again, we are actors and we have to act. There is no way out. It's more about the convincing nature of the character you play. So even if I was thin, I can look tough. In addition, the postproduction, action coordinators, fight sequences, etc also helps build a tough guy. It is not physically possible to do the kind of stuff what Khalli or the Rock can do (laughs). Brief us the experience of the 'Mannata' song with Preity. It's soothing to the ears. Yes it is. Actually we were not getting the right lyrics for the song. I did hear the same song from Sajid - Wajid in Hindi and advised them to change it into Punjabi. So they had to re-work on the lyrics. 'Mannata' is an outstanding song and I love it. We shot the song in the fields of Punjab and it was fun. I can still remember the smell of the fresh fields and the sand. Have you seen Heroes? Yeah. I've seen the trial of the film and the rushes too. Heroes got tears in my eyes about six to seven times while watching it. That's the maximum I've cried while watching any film. Samir Karnik has done an outstanding job with Heroes. He is the true Hero. The film is also very well shot. Heroes got tears in my eyes about six to seven times while watching it. That's the maximum I've cried while watching any film. Both Nanhe Jaislamer and his debut film Kyun, Ho Gaya Na were not successful at the box office. Then why did you say Yes to Heroes? First of all, I told Samir not to make Nanhe Jaisalmer but he wanted to do it. He did approach me for Nanhe Jaisalmer but I said No to it. Then he comes up with Heroes, to which I immediately said Yes. I think this film is going to be a sure shot hit. I mean, I will be surprised if Heroes did not do well. Plus Eros International is doing the marketing. I mean, their last Samir Karnik film did not work. So I hope they do justice to Heroes (laughs). Your manager Vikas Kapoor has now turned producer with Heroes. He has formed his company Future Picture Productions along with Samir Karnik. You happy for him? Of course yes. He is my manager and quite efficient with his work. He used to handle production side of things and then turned manager. But after sometime, you need to move on in life, which he did. He then started to handle Sohail Khan's work as a production manager. Then the title of executive producer was tagged on him and now he is the producer. Vikas has always gone a step further in his career and I'm very happy for him. Hows the mid October sunny weather doing for you Salman? (Laughs) I hope it stays like this for a few months till I am here. I am here till October 24. It is pretty strange because even when I was shooting for Salaam-E-Ishq it was summer time and it was cold. I don't know what is happening to our planet man! But a sunny season in October and people around me taking sun bath is a strange sight especially in London. Everything is becoming too unpredictable. How much of Salman Khan off screen represents Balkar Singh of Heroes? Every character I play or I've played is somewhere close to me. There is some personality in me, which has to have this resemblance. If I don't have that spark of the character, I cannot play it. I choose those roles which I think I can comfortably do it. My onscreen roles bring out some kind of Salman Khan, which is off-screen. Balkar Singh is tough, patriotic, loving and a good guy. I too am a good guy and not a bad one as many people think I am. I too am a good guy and not a bad one as many people think I am Where do you want the premiere of Heroes to take place? I'm here till the October 24 and then going to Mumbai. Vikas and Samir are in Dubai on the October 22. So if they come here and do a special screening, nothing like it. I'd love Heroes to premiere in London on the October 23. Why not go shopping during Diwali, why watch Heroes instead? Wrong question dude! That's too brave of you to say that. But I would disagree with you. There are lots of reasons to go and watch a movie - 'Kya kar rahe ho aaj? Chalo picture dekhte hain', 'do ghante ki film hain, chal dekh kar aate hain', 'maine is film ke baare mein kaafi accha suna hain'. The publicity, the word of mouth, your favourite hero is in the film, it's a good story, etc. I think Heroes would be a combination of just about everything. Plus, there is no 'chechorapan' in the film at all. It's a meaningful film and it doesn't bore you. It's a fun film.Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 14 Oct 2008 | 10:16 am Briefs - Shilpa Shetty to play Protima BediMUMBAI (Reuters) - Here is a round-up of Bollywood news from Indian newspapers on Tuesday, Oct 14.

"We've named the film Kaun Bola. See the film, and you'll know why. It's the perfect title. Hopefully, audiences will agree," says Arshad currently shooting for Anil Kapoor's Shortcut in Bangkok. Arshad Warsi is also doing a film called Chance Pe Danceâ¦.to be directed Rohit Shetty's assistant, Raminder Singh Suri. But sorry, he has no dancing to do in the film. For a dancing-star, doing a film called Chance Pe Dance with no dancing is a form of death. "What can I do?" Arshad protests hard. "I love to dance. I know I dance well. But directors don't allow me to dance. In Chance Pe Dance, I play this out-and-out loser who needs that one big break to change his life. And when that break happens in his life all hell breaks lose. Sadly, I don't get to dance again." In Arshad's last release Krazzy 4, it was Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan who got to dance and in his next release Shortcut, Sanjay Dutt and Anil Kapoor have been roped in to jive with leading lady Amrita Rao. No Arshad in the item song. Arshad says he's clueless. "I've many times asked directors to let me do some dancing. But they've ignored my request. This is a funny and strange industry. But I love it even if some people choose to be unfair to me." According to a source close to a project that Arshad was offered, "The film's hero had laid a pre-condition. No dancing from Arshad. If you look at any of Arshad's big projects with big banners in recent times --Munnabhai, Shortcut, Krazzy 4 or even Salaam Namaste⦠the other guys got to dance. In Krazzy 4, Irrfan Khan got to dance with Rakhi Sawant. Not Arshad. In fact the hero in our film specifically forbade Arshad from moving a leg saying, as it is he's a scene stealer and we don't need him to be floor-burner." Is this one of the reasons why Arshad is producing his own film? "Probably, yes. You could say that. My film is looking gorgeous. We've one more schedule to go in Goa. Then we'll be done." Arshad had to give up hosting the second season of Bigg Boss because of his first home production. "Kaun Bola has taken away more from me than I can express," he says ominously. "Bigg Boss is in fine hands now. Shilpa Shetty looks really hot on the show."Source: BollywoodHungama.com News | 14 Oct 2008 | 9:30 am "I started practicing rough language in real life too" - Mugdha GodseDownload Fashion wallpapers As Janet, Mugdha Godse plays the part of one of the three principal protagonists of Fashion. While one waits to see the kind of character Priyanka Chopra and Kangana Ranaut play in the film, Mugdha has willingly disclosed that her role requires her to speak in a rough language. "I can't believe the lines I've said when the camera started rolling", says Mudgha animatedly, "Words like 'jhandoo' and 'bangroo' are not something that form a part of my everyday vocabulary and here I am using them all so naturally. Madhur sir's guidance around getting the right feel of the character is really helping me out here." Talking about the boldness of the character, Mugdha reveals that Janet is someone who wants to be independent and is living a lifestyle of her choice in urban India. "Janet is required to be tough and use rough language. She has been in the fashion industry for 4-5 years and hence understands the intricacies and behind the scenes functioning of the industry quite well", reveals Mugdha. She goes on to add, "This is why if someone tries to act fresh with her, she gives it back. She goes to the extent of asking men to come up with new lines if they act a little too smart with her." Mugdha has spent close to 8 months shooting for the film and admits that she has got used to the language to such an extent that even in real life she could be found mouthing some rough words. "My friends who have seen me grow up for so many years are aghast that how could I be using such language", laughs Mugdha, "They are wondering whether it's the same Mugdha they are speaking to. Well, I always have my defense that this is just a role and I would get over it once Fashion releases. Well, they are waiting even though they continue to be suspicious." Mugdha's character of Janet in Fashion is said to be based on the real life of another popular model Carol Gracias and borrows incidents from her infamous wardrobe malfunction on the ramp. 29th October is the D day when audience would get to know if this indeed is true.Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 14 Oct 2008 | 9:26 am Censor Board objects to 'intimate scenes', 'Fashion' gets 'A' certificateAward-winning director Madhur Bhandarkar is upset that the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has given his next film 'Fashion' an 'adults-only' certificate.Source: IndiaeNews.com: Bollywood News | 14 Oct 2008 | 8:32 am Priyanka loses out in the number game? - Real Bollywood

Source: Google News India - Entertainment | 14 Oct 2008 | 7:46 am Blog: Does SRK know where Malaysia is?With the conferment of Datukship on Bollywood heartthrob Shah Rukh Khan, I could laugh my way into a morning start. Yeah, I'm sure we'll dance here and there from the mountains to the sea and the trees ala Bollywood style. Along with some Bollywood music playing in the air from nowhere for us to dance. Can't we just be practical on some things? I'm sure many of us (not me though) had a dreamwife or dreamhubbie who are popular hollywood or bollywood stars, but we don't sign an honorary marriage deal with him/her too? Just because someone shoot a movie here, we give them a title. And how are they going to justify that the increase of tourists in Malacca is due to the movieshoot and not due to efforts poured in by the Malaysia Tourism Board? Are we doing a head count on tourism from India and based our assumptions on that? This must have qualified our country as the laughing stock over one after another incident. Maybe the next time, they'll claim that India was once part of Malacca, so he deserved the title as an ex-Malaccan who contributes to the society. Well, since there was basically some politician (who obviously did not fare well in History) who had claimed that Thailand was under the rule of Malacca, so anything is basically possible. Anyway, now that they've opened up the conferment of titles, I've a long list of names up for submission to any Sultans or Yang Di-Pertua Negeri to consider. Perhaps we could start from Tom Cruise, Megan Fox, etc. Wait, did Shah Rukh Khan really even knows where Malaysia is? Is it somewhere in the Caribbeans or a small island off Madagascar?

Source: Google News India - Entertainment | 14 Oct 2008 | 7:30 am Aamir, Kunal team up again?Kunal Kohli's biggest hit so far is FANAA. Starring Aamir Khan. Reportedly, this combo -- Aamir and Kunal -- are expected to join hands again for a fresh project. Also, after branching out from Yash Raj, Kunal has shook hands with PVR Pictures. True? "I am still writing my next film and I haven't met any actors," Kunal sounds amused when I question him about his next film, "I know how these rumours originate. Since we meet actors socially, people jump to conclusions that we are working together. But I haven't met Aamir for a month, so even this theory holds no weight." Has he shook hands with PVR? "Everyone's keen to know who's going to partner my next project. But, believe me, I haven't signed with any company yet," he states.Source: BollywoodHungama.com News | 14 Oct 2008 | 7:22 am 'Golmaal' series will continueClick above for more stills Director Rohit Shetty waits with bated breath for the response to GOLMAAL RETURNS. "It's bigger, it's better, it's much more entertaining than GOLMAAL," he says of his new film. Not many are aware, the sequel to GOLMAAL happened by chance. "I was working on an altogether different story; it was meant to take off from where the first part ended. But I realized that it was getting boring. I wasn't enjoying writing it. Around that time Yunus Sajawal bounced off an entirely new story of four guys and four girls. When I read the script, I realized that it could easily pass off as the sequel to GOLMAAL. And when I narrated the plotline to Rajbhai Mehta [of Ashtavinayak] and also Ajay [Devgan], they jumped at it. That gave me the impetus to go ahead with the sequel," Rohit recalls. Rohit is confident that he'll continue with the GOLMAAL series. But before making the next instalment of this laughathon, Rohit is working on an altogether different project -- this time with Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi. "I haven't signed either Baba [Sanju] or Arshad. Nor have I made them listen to the script. It was a casual conversation with Sanju and the next thing you know, the media has already made the announcement. There's nothing official about this project yet," he clarifies.Source: BollywoodHungama.com News | 14 Oct 2008 | 7:15 am It’s Kat and the cello! - Times of India

The 'latest' award to this superstar comes in the form of a prestigious title of 'Datuk' (the equivalent of a knighthood in Britain), by Malacca in recognition of his promotion of the state through his films. With this, SRK becomes one of the 750 chosen ones to be given awards to mark the 70th birthday of Malacca's nominal head of state, Mohamad Khalil Yaakoob. The sad part is that this move has not gone well with many Malaysian residents. Speaking about the award, Malacca Chief Minister Mohamad Ali Rustam said that SRK had helped the state's tourism, through six of his movies being shot at Malacca, which also included One 2 Ka 4, a film which was shot at a Malaccan resort. He also added that it would have costed them (the Malacca state) millions of dollars to promote their state through ads, but SRK brought Malacca to the attention of the world through his movies. Leading the people who were opposing this award was the Opposition leader Lim Kit Siang, who justified his stand saying that priority should be given to local artists. And that if one has to confer the award on SRK for promoting the Malacca state, then, other foreign stars like Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta-Jones who shot the Hollywood movie 'Entrapment' in Kuala Lumpur in 1999, should also be given similar recognition.Source: BollywoodHungama.com News | 13 Oct 2008 | 4:19 pm Live Chat: Sharman Joshi on Oct 14 at 1600 hrs ISTThe very mention of the name Sharman Joshi does bring a smile on your face.

What's more there were even quite a few SWAT officers who made a dramatic entry, suspending themselves from the aircraft carrying rifles. Just as localites began to worry if there was a panic situation on hand, did they see a film crew with cameras et al shooting this whole scenario. This was not any hostage attack or terrorist threat but the shooting of Yash Raj Films' upcoming project New York (working title) which was in progress in the busy and central area of Philadelphia. The film's stars, namely John Abraham, Katrina Kaif and Neil Nitin Mukesh, were present as the crew along with director Kabir Khan filmed some action scenes in and around the PNC Bank Building.
