SRK - Give way girls, the item boys have come!

The craze for his six-pack abs in ‘Drad-e-disco’ had just started waning, that he has come up again beaming with energy in Rakesh Roshan’s ‘Krazzy 4’. Yes, guessed it right. Shahrukh will be seen in an item number in the movie dancing to the tunes of Rajesh Roshan on an English song titled ‘Break Free’, rendered by Vishal.

Hrithik’s designer in Dhoom 2, Anahita Shroff has worked on Shah Rukh’s look and appearance in the item number. It is both a combination of sophistication and killer instinct. Anahita gave him the ideal look with a white shirt and black trouser, which was the first look and then gave him the combo of red and black. In addition to that, a black designer holster was added in order to portray a classy façade.

Everyone of the movie’s team is all praises for SRK. “Hrithik was to do the song, but due to his knee injury, we were in a dilemma of sorts. I approached Shah Rukh and he very kindly agreed to bail us out,” explains Rakesh. “The song required energy, and that’s what Shah Rukh has in abundance.”

Director Jaideep Sen tells us, “Shah Rukh plays a superstar performing at an award function. The situation required a larger than life stage and a larger than life personality. Shah Rukh has taken it to another level altogether.”

Will Amitabh and Rekha act together again?

This is a real surprising news. The couple which created sensation with their on-screen and off-screen chemistry chose not to act together owing to the controversies regarding their affair. Now, the news doing rounds is that the yesteryear hit jodi of Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha are making a comeback in a film titled ‘ALADDIN’, to be directed by Jhankar Beats fame director Sujoy Ghosh. The actors jodi will appear together onscreen after almost a gap of more than two decades (around 26 years). But sadly the news will settle only as headlines and will not turn out to be a reality as the director, Sujoy, denied about they being together in ALADDIN, when we contacted. Further he also confirmed that it’s only Big B who is signed for the film, playing the character of ‘Gini’ and not Rekha. Well all those brokenhearted fans can at least enjoy the news, if not the movie.

Would you like to see them together once again? Give in your views.
