Shahrukh abandoning his Knights!

Shahrukh Khan is called King Khan not without any reason. He makes his presence felt wherever he goes. The cricket stadiums in South Africa looked more lively a few days ago than it is now. The reason is, Shahrukh is back in India and is not cheering for his IPL team Kolkata Knight Riders. Will he return to South Africa? Very unlikely.Well, the ever-energetic Shahrukh returned home mainly for two reasons - to vote for the Lok Sabha and get relief from the pain of watching his team go down time and again. Before leaving South Africa, he promised his team that he would not return if they didn’t win a match in his absence. Unfortunately, his team continued to lose and he is busy with his own work.

Now that his team is almost out of the contest for the semi finals berth in this year’s IPL, he has got himself busy shooting for his much-hyped film My Name Is Khan by Karan Johar. He said that his team has not lost motivation in spite of the string of loses. He said that some of the matches almost broke their hearts while they failed to perform on the others. He added that he had told his boys to go out and have fun. In spite of doing very badly in the IPL season 2, the fact remains that Kolkata Knight Riders has the biggest brand value at $42.1 million. However, Shahrukh is worried in spite of the money flow, as he knew that his team should perform well to live up to it. At the moment, he is not in the mood to decide the future course of the team. He just wants to stay away from them to take the pressure off their shoulders!

I would like to be a journalist: Big B

While promoting his film about Indian media in New Delhi, Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan said he would like to be a journalist, if not an actor. “I would like to be a journalist. In fact in my interviews that I had given in the 1970s, I mentioned during most of them that I want to become a journalist in my next life,” Amitabh told reporters on Wednesday while promoting his upcoming film Rann with Ram Gopal Varma . The movie is about Indian media and how it’s manipulated. The 66-year-old star who has been castigating the media and journalists on his blog www.bigb.bigadda.com, said he felt a journalist’s job was a difficult one. “I say this because I feel that it is a very difficult task since sometimes your conscience doesn’t match with reality and that’s where you want to go home and tear yourself apart and take a decision,” he added.

Meanwhile, Ram Gopal Varma, true to his nature, raked up a controversy at the press meet by playing the film’s theme song which seemed to tinker with the National Anthem. "Jana gana mana rann hai. Is rann mein zakhmi hua hai Bahrat ka bhaagya vidhaata?" goes the lyric of the film’s title track. The director in his own words has included the lines of the national anthem to describe the "bad situation" of the present day India. Answering questions about his decision to reinterpret the national anthem, Varma said that his attempt should not be termed as unpatriotic. “I have not tinkered with the anthem or treated it in a disrespectful manner. The song is just a medium to express the angst against the current situation in the country. Please do not try to create a controversy where there is none,” Varma told the reporters. Even Mr. Bachchan, who plays the head of a 24-hour news channel in the film, defended Varma’s decision, saying, “I trust the director’s decision and I am sure that he has taken adequate caution before going ahead with the song.” Besides Big B, the movie also stars Ritesh Deshmukh and Paresh Rawal .

Saif-Kareena enjoy a brief break in New York

The lovers watched a few movies and pampered their taste buds when an unexpected two-day break fell into their lap.Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor have been shooting director Rensil D’Silva’s film Jihad in New York. The duo have been shooting continuously but got a two-day break in their hectic shooting schedule, thanks to co-star Vivek Oberoi . Vivek, who plays a moderate Muslim in the film, reportedly had a lot of solo scenes to shoot.

The actor asked the director to shoot them all in a stretch for two days. This left Saif and Kareena with two free days to enjoy the New York life. The duo went out and saw some movies and ate out at their favourite restaurant. Kareena says it was all possible because of Vivek, with whom she first worked in Yuva . Today, Kareena sees Vivek as a friend and calls him “sweet” and “considerate”. Soon, Saif and Kareena will finish the New York schedule of ‘Jihad’ and head for a summer holiday in Italy. Seems like the two lovers can’t have enough of each other.
