SRK takes Yash Raj to Ladakh

TOI told you in May that Yash Chopra was toying with the idea of revisiting one of his favourite destinations, the Kashmir valley, as a backdrop for his directorial next starring Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif. 

The last time the snow-dusted valley featured in Chopra's films was in the 1976 blockbuster Kabhie Kabhie, after which the filmmaker, known for his choice of the most beautiful locales, had shifted his attention to the Swiss Alps for the longest time. So much so, the production house even conducted a recce of Kashmir, raising anticipation levels there. 

However, TOI now has it that the climax of Yash Chopra's yet-untitled film will be shot in Ladakh and not Kashmir, only because Shah Rukh suggested the venue. 

A source close to the film had said, "Yashji loves the snow in Kashmir and has shot two of his most romantic films, Daag and Kabhi Kabhie, there. They need a snow-capped landscape for the climax. Hence, initially, he contemplated shooting in Kashmir." 

However, Shah Rukh came up with the idea of Ladakh, where he had shot for Mani Rathnam's Dil Se, and still has fond memories of the place, the source revealed. 

That's when and how the plan changed. So this winter, the film's unit will head for a ten-day climax shoot to Ladakh instead of Kashmir. 

Yash Raj Films' official spokesperson confirmed the news saying, "The next schedule is in Ladakh."

I think love can happen at any age: Shah Rukh Khan

I think love can happen at any age: Shah Rukh Khan
Megastar Shah Rukh Khan Tuesday launched the music and third poster of choreographer-director Farah Khan's debut film as an actor "Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi" here and praised her as one of the finest directors.

Shah Rukh, who is a very good friend of Farah, said: "She is one of the most finest and talented director we have with us. I thank Farah for giving me some nicest moment in her films."

Farah Khan and Boman Irani recreated the magic of characters Simran and Raj of "Dilwale Dhulaniya Le Jayenge" (DDLJ) in a poster.

Shah Rukh who had come to unveil the third poster of "Shirin Farhad..." told reporters that no one could recreate the magic of his most iconic romantic film of all time, "DDLJ".

"I have seen spoofs of all movies created by others but I never thought one would ever think of making a spoof on 'DDLJ'," Shah Rukh said

The 1995 blockbuster romantic film "DDLJ" had Shah Rukh and Kajol in the lead.

Shah Rukh along with Boman and Farah performed a jig on stage, where the megastar played Raj of "DDLJ", Farah played Simran and Boman played Amrish Puri.

"Shirin Farhad..." directed by Bela Sehgal is a romantic-comedy of 40-plus couple - Boman and Farah.

"I think love can happen at any age...it has no age. There is no right time and right place for love...it can happen any time," Shah Rukh said.

"We have seen love stories made with young teenagers but this one is different. I have seen the posters and promo of this film and I really loved it. It is a marvellous love story. I am sure this film will rock. I am sure people will connect with this film," he added. 

Shah Rukh Khan throws a googly at Chennai Express

Shah Rukh Khan will start shooting for his ambitious film Chennai Express much before the scheduled date, so that he can support his KKR team at the Champions League. 

The film directed by Rohit Shetty was earlier supposed to go on the floors in October-end but will now start from September 27.

A source informs, "SRK has given the dates for the film in September. It is a 20-day schedule, as he wants to be present when his cricket team Kolkata Knight Riders takes on other teams at this year's Champions League in South Africa. Earlier this year, KKR won the Indian Premier League for the first time making them hot favorites to win the Champions League as well.

Shah Rukh wants to watch some of the final matches and so has decided to be in South Africa during that time. So the film has been rescheduled to September end. A massive set will be constructed at Bandra's Mehboob Studio from September 1 for the film."

The source further said, "Rohit was also more than happy to accommodate SRK as his sister is getting married on November 11 and he wanted time for the preparations. With the 20-day schedule wrapping up around mid-October, Rohit will get time for the preparations." Rohit remained unavailable for comment.
