What are Shahrukh Khan’s two conditions before signing any film?

Not everybody knows that Superstar Shahrukh Khan always keeps two conditions before filmmakers while signing any film's contract.

According to a leading Shahrukh Khan's two conditions are, " Shahrukh Khan's film contract reportedly made two things clear: One, the actor will not lock lips with his heroine on screen; two, he will not ride a horse. The second condition came into being after SRK experienced severe back pain a few years ago."

Due to his back pain Shahrukh Khan also underwent a major cervical surgery few years back. Talking about his surgery Shahrukh Khan had said, ''I'm fine but its too early to say. One does not really know how good or bad a surgery is till life goes on. But as always, the spirit cannot be stymied.''

Well, we understand why Shahrukh says no to ride a horse but it seems that the actor is really scared of his wife Gauri that is why he does not kiss any actress onscreen!

Why Shah Rukh Khan Has To Face More Competition Than Salman Khan?

After months of suspense surrounding the Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif starrer YRF romance we thought to compare and highlight the facts surrounding the release dates and scale of movies with or around ‘Jab Tak Hain Jaan’ and ‘ Ek Tha Tiger’ which had Katrina Kaif with Salman Khan.

When Ek Tha Tiger release was announced with huge number of prints many movies changed their release dates- either postponed or preponed so as to not cross the release date of Ek Tha Tiger. The movies which released were small budget movies which sank without a trace at the box office.


Salman Khan starrer Ek Tha Tiger released on 15th August with Independence day and Eid festivities just around the corner.

Jism 2 released 12 days before Ek Tha Tiger and with the hype of Sunny Leone managed to rake in approx 33 crores in its opening week and later sank. Gangs of Wasseypur 2 which released on a Wednesday ruled 1 week at the box office before release of the Salman Khan starrer. GOW2 faced a stiff competition once Ek Tha Tiger was released and hence showed a decline in box office collections. Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikhal Padi a small release which released 10 days after Ek Tha Tiger also suffered the after effects of the hurricane.

Other big releases like Saif Ali Khan-Deepika starrer Cocktail, Kya Super Kool Hain Hum distanced their release dates from the Salman Khan release and also reaped benefits due to their soundtracks and content.

Aamir Khan In Talaash Movie And Ajay Devgan In Son Of Sardar Movie

Shahrukh Khan – Katrina Kaif starrer ‘Jab Tak Hain Jaan’ which also has announced its Diwali 2012 release plans well in advance has got big competitors ready to eating up the screen space. Many film-makers are keen to sought out the Diwali release slots, due to the extensive holiday season.

Jab Tak Hain Jaan releases on 13th November 2012, along with Ajay Devgan’s Son of Sardaar. This will eat into screen space for Shah Rukh Khan and also give a hit on the opening numbers. The highest single day collection record is held by Ek Tha Tiger with 32+ crores and followed by Ra.One at Rs 25 crores. Ra.One didn’t have much competition to lose out for.


Around 2 weeks after SRK’s and Ajay’s movie releases, comes up another mega star’s release who holds the record of highest collection. Aamir Khan’s 3 Idiots is currently the biggest blockbuster with 202 crores + collection at Indian box office with Salman Khan’s Ek Tha Tiger close behind with 196crores+ as on date. Aamir Khan’s Talaash will snatch screen space on 30th November giving just around 2 weeks for SRK and Ajay Devgn to fight it out their maximum at the box office. Needless to say content of these three movies will play an important role for their collections and long run.

To summarize are the news makers right in stating that Shah Rukh Khan enjoys strong enmity among him contemporaries like Salman, Aamir and Ajay Devgn? However discussions on social media forums suggest that Shah Rukh Khan is always targeted by friends and foes to be pulled down. Or another fact that Salman Khan has now become an Icon amongst the masses who is feared the maximum and can’t be touched at the Bollywood Box Office?

Ileana house hunting in Mumbai

After a successful innings in the southern film industry, Ileana D'Cruz wants to make it big in Bollywood. With plans to settle here, she is looking for a perfect pad for herself in the city of dreams.


Her first Bollywood release is " Barfi!", which is coming out Sep 14. In the Anurag Basu directed movie Ileana will be seen sharing screen space withRanbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra."My parents are presently living in Goa. I am looking for a place in Mumbai so that they can shift here with me. I want to settle down in Mumbai. So right now I am hunting for a house in the city," the 24-year-old told IANS.


In 2006, she bowed in movies with Telugu film "Devadasu" and has since worked in many southern movies including "Pokiri", "Jalsa" and "Kick".


"My father recently called me and said he is extremely proud of my work and for me that's a huge achievement. He has never been biased. He will never compliment unless he means it. It is very flattering," she said.


Being in showbiz means looking fit and attractive and she admits that she is conscious about it.


"I am very conscious about my body. When you are in the limelight, people criticise your looks. It takes a lot of time for me to get comfortable. When people say that you have a good physique, there is a constant state of disbelief. But I am not shy. Looking pretty and doing make up is part of my job," she said.

Heroine is my bravest role: Kareena Kapoor

Actress Kareena Kapoor believes that her portrayal of a fading Bollywood superstar in Heroine is her bravest role so far.

The film, directed by Madhur Bhandarkar, is said to have been inspired by real-life incidents from B-town and Kareena says not many actresses would have taken the risk of accepting this role.

"I wanted to be a heroine since my childhood. I am happy that Heroine has turned out to be my bravest role. Not many actresses would want to play the role of a declining superstar," Kareena told PTI.

"Typically you see films where a star's journey is shown from rise to fall and then rise. In Heroinethat's not the case as from the very first frame you can see that this superstar is declining," she adds.

Kareena accepted the part because she connected with the character of Mahi Arora and also felt that this was a challenge worth taking.

"I always take challenges when it comes to performance oriented roles and Heroine isn't something that I could have missed. I played a prostitute at the age of 22 when many people around me said that it was a wrong move and said I was way too young to pick up such a part.

"Still, I was convinced to play the part so I did it. Similarly when not many would have been courageous enough to take up the part of 'Heroine', I went ahead and did that. The character is such that you feel connected to it and really feel bad about what she is going through," she says.

Bhandarkar had first offered the film to Kareena and when things couldn't work out due to date issues, he had taken the film to Aishwarya Rai. Later when Aishwarya got pregnant, it was time for Kareena to return to the film with her date diary being sorted out.

"As I have always maintained, it was destiny coming into play. Moreover, every film comes with akundli of its own. I feel whatever happens, it is ultimately for the best."

As for comparisons with the character of Mahi Arora, Kareena says that it is way too extreme since in real life she is very sorted out.

"I am not someone like Mahi though I could easily relate to the scenes as they take place in the film. I have given my 200 per cent to the film and the kind of reactions that are coming have reassured me that I have done something well."

Moreover, the reassurance that came her way from her director further kept the motivation level up for her.

"Madhur has this perception that since he makes these hard hitting films, he would be considered very serious by people around him. However the fact is that in real life he is so much fun. He is so positive that it makes things easy on the sets.

"I may be doing a scene and he may compliment by screaming jalwa. I got used to his vocabulary over a period of time. I have made a friend in Madhur and can proudly say that together we have taken this film a step forward over what we had envisioned."

With Arjun Rampal and Randeep Hooda in principal roles along with Divya Dutta, Shahana Goswami and Ranvir Shorey, Heroine releases all over on September 21.
