Salman Khan praises Shah Rukh Khan

In a remarkable turn around in the cold war between the two superstar Khans, Salman Khan openly expressed his admiration for rival Shah Rukh Khan during his T.V. show, Dus Ka Dum.

In the upcoming episode of the game show on Sony Television, Salman said, “When it comes to romantic scenes nobody can do it better than Shah Rukh Khan. He is professionally great.”

A source who was present on the sets of Dus Ka Dum said, “The incident took place when Reitesh Deshmukh, who was a guest on 10 Ka Dum Dus, enacted a scene from Shah Rukh’s romantic film Dil To Pagal Hai.”
Reitesh had come along with cast member Govinda and director David Dhawan to promote the film Do Knot Disturb on Salman’s show.
Salman has been known to vent his anger against Shah Rukh ever since the duo fought on Katrina Kaif’s birthday party last year (July 16).

Not only the audience, but Govinda, David Dhawan and Ritiesh too applauded when Salman praised SRK.

“SRK has such beautiful eyes, it can make anyone go crazy,” Salman said, adding, “SRK is the king of romance.”

Coming from the lover boy himself, it was quite a compliment. Salman further said that no one can do romantic scenes better than SRK on the big screen. A very liberal compliment indeed!

Salman also praised the sincerity and dedication of Shah Rukh. He said that no one can be more professional than SRK and that he marvels at his dedication towards work. SRK was his idol when it comes to his attitude for work, Salman added.

It is big gesture of peace making on the part of Salman Khan. Wonder what will be Shah Rukh Khan’s reaction.

Akshay takes good care of Deepika!

He not only made sure Deepika was looked after, but also persuaded her to stay away from shooting.

While Deepika was resting, alternative scenes that didn't require her were shot.

"I'm recovering. I was bedridden for three days. And yes, I did return to the set on Saturday. I had to shoot. But I'm not sure whether it was the wisest of decisions, considering it was malaria," Deepika told IANS from London.

Akshay and Deepika earlier teamed up for "Chandni Chowk To China", which turned out to be a box office dud. But the film's failure hasn't affected their friendship.

"I'm lucky to be surrounded by gallant men. Whether it's my dad, Ranbir (Kapoor), Akshay, Shah Rukh Khan or any of my co-stars, I haven't so far encountered any ill-behaved men," said Deepika whose next release is "Love Aaj Kal".

Directed by Imtiaz Ali, "Love Aaj Kal" hits the screens Friday. And Saif Ali Khan, who plays Deepika's cynical love interest in the romantic saga, also gets high marks from Deepika, though she admits they aren't close friends.

In the movie, Saif plays a guy who doesn't believe in romantic love whereas Deepika is a die-hard romantic both in the film and in real life.

"He (Saif) also believes in love and realises it when he can't do without the girl. So I guess there's a romantic in all of us. It just needs to be tapped. But you need to experience that journey

from disbelief to love, like I have in real life.

"So many times I advice people on their love life. I can always tell the difference between those who understand and don't understand the value of true love," she said.

Shahrukh to play anti-hero in Dhoom 3

After John and Hrithik YRF is planning to cast another big name in Dhoom 3. The buzz in the tinsel town is it may be none other than the 'Baadshah' Shahrukh Khan who might play the anti-hero this time. If Shahrukh gives his nod this won't be the first time he will be playing an anti-hero in his career. Who can forget the stammering Shahrukh Khan in the movie Darr.

Yash Raj Films is going through a lean patch having delivered just two hits since 2007. Incidentally both these hits Chak De! India and Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi have come with Shahrukh. The Chopras see him as a quick-solution to all their woes. It also remains to be seen who directs Dhoom 3 as Sanjay Gadhvi has had a fallout with the Chopras.
