Rukh Khan and jobless?
Shah
Rukh Khan created a small stir when he announced that
he is out of work for eight months, since he as opted
out of the two films he had committed to – Shankar's
'Robot', and Rajkumar Hirani's next, based on Chetan
Bhagat's book, 'Five Point Someone'. He stated that
he had creative differences with the former, and that
Vidhu Vinod Chopra's accusations made him leave the
latter.
However, according to sources, these are not the main
reasons for his voluntary unemployment. Apparently,
he is all set to star in Karan Johar's 'My Name Is
Khan', to go on floor soon.
The friendship between Johar and King Khan is legendary,
and it is also a well-known fact that SRK is biased
towards his friends. In fact, he would have put critics
to shame if he had done the other two projects, since
they are always accusing him of favouritism.
It is also believed that another possible reason for
SRK to break his commitments to the other projects
is Kajol – the Karan Johar film brings together
the hit SRK-Kajol pair back to screen after a gap
of six years.

The source adds, "Karan keeps hopping between US and India,
and he is very excited about the project.
Presently Shah Rukh's and Kajol's looks are being worked out
and the costumes other details are in their final stages.
This usually happens when the film is about to start."
'My Name Is Khan' is about a Muslim man, viewed suspiciously,
after the 9/11 terror attack.

Himesh
to brave SRK threat!
Till a few days ago,
music-director-turned-singer-turned actor Himesh Reshammiya's
dream project, a remake of "Karz", was as good as shelved,
thanks to speculations that Farah Khan's "Om Shanti
Om" has a plot similar to the orginal "Karz".
The makers of the "Karz" remake panicked as they thought
there was not much time left for making major changes
to the script. They had almost decided to scrap the
project. That's when cool dude Himesh came to the rescue.
After all, how could he let go of a film for which he
is working so hard to lose his weight and get his looks
right.
A source says: "The script of the movie has been reworked
on and now it is final that the movie would not be scrapped.
However, Himesh would not essay a double role as thought
of before.
The
role played by Raj Kiran in the original "Karz" would
be portrayed by a newcomer, while Himesh plays just
Rishi Kapoor's part. It is learnt that Himesh himself
made these changes and many more, too, in the script.
The film-makers are now focusing on beginning the shoot
soon.

The
source adds: "Himmesh was very upset and hurt when he heard
that his dream project was about to get scrapped. So he started
looking for solutions from Day One itself.
The charismatic singer-actor loves the plot of the original
"Karz" as it was, perhaps, the only movie in those times which
dealt with the concept of rebirth. The same person was played
by two different actors, Raj Kiran and Rishi Kapoor."
The shooting of the movie will now start in January, 2008,
as decided upon earlier. Himesh will act, sing, and direct
at the same time. Meanwhile, the actor is also doing a movie
with Pooja Bhatt, which would be shot in Europe and Pakistan.
Health and fitness are things which one can’t ever afford
to ignore. To sum up , stay fit and stay happy.
