DID YOU KNOW: Canada's own Raghav sang for ShahRukh in Ishq Shava

A.R. Rahman, Raghav and playback singer Shilpa Rao combine to create ‘Ishq Shava’, the first release from the soundtrack for Jab Tak Hai Jaan directed by the late Yash Chopra.  The video for the track has received over 2 million views in the first week of release.  This is set to be a major Bollywood smash for Raghav who says, “Of all the glorious moments in my musical journey working with A.R. Rahman ranks at the top.”  The film stars Shahrukh Khan, Katrina Kaif & Anushka Sharma.

Recently A R Rahman gave us a hint of a song in the pipeline with Raghav, saying on twitter "In studio with the talented and humorous Raghav to whom I wish the best of luck on his new album with Ultra Records" referring to Raghav's upcoming USA mainstream debut with "Fire", a song that has already gone platinum in Canada.

Director Yash Chopra, died unexpectedly on October 21, 2012, just weeks after announcing he would not direct any more movies.

Jab Tak Hai Jaan is scheduled for release on November 13, 2012

Watch the video for ‘Ishq Shava’ below

NEWS: 'JTHJ' in India earns Rs.60.39 crore($10mill) in four days

The magic of Yash Chopra's evergreen romance formula seems to be working again. "Jab Tak Hai Jaan" (JTHJ), his last directorial venture before his death, has earned Rs.60.39 crore at the domestic box office in four days of its release.

The Shah Rukh Khan, Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif-starrer love story released on 2,500 screens on the auspicious occasion Diwali, Nov 13.

The film earned Rs.15.23 crore (Tuesday) Rs.19.54 crore (Wednesday), Rs.14.45 crore (Thursday) and Rs. 11.17 crore (Friday).

Produced by Aditya Chopra under the family banner Yash Raj Films, JTHJ was reportedly made at a budget of Rs.50 crore. Shot in exotic foriegn locales, the movie witnessed a good opening in the overseas market too.

The total overseas collections turned out to be $4.75 million (Rs. 26 crore). A break-up of the overseas figures - $1.30 million (Tuesday), $1.20 million (Wednesday), $1million (Thursday) and $1.25 million (Friday).

JTHJ released alongside Ajay Devgn's "Son Of Sardaar" (SOS), a comedy entertainer.

NEWS: SRK's kiss story - JTHJ demanded it!

Shah Rukh Khan had made a rule for himself - never kiss on screen, but he has made an exception for Yash Chopra's "Jab Tak Hai Jaan" (JTHJ). The superstar says he was "forced" to kiss this time, and says it was only a demand of the script.

"I had a couple of rules actually - that I won't ride a horse and I won't kiss. Both are cumbersome. I don't know how to do both on screen," Shah Rukh said at the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit 2012 here Friday.

Ever since the release of Yash Chopra's directorial JTHJ Tuesday, social networking platforms have been abuzz about the kiss scene between Shah Rukh and Katrina Kaif. So, moderator Vir Sanghvi, on behalf of Twitterati, asked SRK: How come he kissed this time!

"I will be very honest. Adi (Aditya Chopra), Yash ji and Katrina, and I say this with all humility and thankfulness to them, that they knew I was awkward, I had issues and I am a very easy actor to work with. They are like my family and they said, 'You don't have to do this' and then they got together and they forced me and then even paid me for it."

"So... when heroines say that 'I wore a bikini because the story demanded me to', I did it (the kiss) because the story demanded it. Believe me or don't believe it," said the 47-year-old actor, who has been in showbiz for over two decades.

Shah Rukh feels doing something as intimate as a kiss on screen, is mechanical.

"It is very mechanical with 100 people telling you what to do. It's very odd. I don't even do photoshoots with heroines if it is not for my film and that is also rude, but I don't want to waste anyone's time. I find it very awkward taking my shirt off and posing. I can do it in character for film," he said.

But JTHJ was "extremely special because of Yash ji".

"He spoke to everyone and he said 'Shah Rukh, this is a requirement'," recollected Shah Rukh.

The actor was extremely close to the late filmmaker, who breathed his last Oct 21 following dengue and subsequent multi-organ failure.

My Review of Jab Tak Hai Jaan

Hey guys as I promised you all I will write up a review of Jab Tak Hai Jaan. Sorry for the delay as I am in USA where I had to choreograph a Bollywood Fashion and Dance show for a University where they hosted a "Diwali Event"

First off let me wish you all a very HAPPY DIWALI hope you all had a great one.

Now lets discuss JAB TAK HAI JAAN.

So I saw the film on the first day it released and this is what I have to say about the film.

STORY: I was expecting a better story, a more realistic story of love. The story that was told in the film was not very realistic and 99% this type of love stories do not occur in real life. The film should have had a better story line, a better plot so that it would be convincing. If they really wanted to go by this story then they should have changed it a bit to make it more convincing and realistic. But the story was unchanged so it made it very unrealistic. However the reason I was stuck to my seat was because the ending was not predictable, you would not know if ShahRukh would end up with Katrina or will he end up with Anushka, or will he end up with anyone? this made the film interesting and exciting to watch till the end regardless the length of the film.

SHAH RUKH KHAN: This man can never fail to disappoint his fans and even those who are not a big fan of his. He played his role to perfection, especially during Ladakh sequence when he is in the Army. Off the London and Ladakh sequence, I enjoyed watching him more in Ladakh because his role character and acting stood out more. But nonetheless throughout the film he was never disappointing, his romance, comic, and serious role timing was perfect.

Katrina Kaif: As Meera she played her part just right, but until she was in the same frame with ShahRukh that is when things went downhill. I felt when Katrina was solo on screen she was great but once she was with ShahRukh she just did not match up to him and was not convincing as other leading ladies with ShahRukh in a Yash Chopra film. The problem was that there was no chemistry between the two, and on top of that ShahRukh looked older to her so that made it even worse. It was not him who needed to look young but it was Katrina who needed to be replaced by somebody else, and I think the two actresses that would have suited Katrina's role as Meera would have been Priyanka Chopra or Deepika Padukone. One of them would have been perfect.

Anushka Sharma: If she was not in the film, this movie would have been a huge disappointment, even ShahRukh's performance would have not saved the film. She was perfect as Akira, I was waiting for Anushka to come on screen, because her presence in the film made me want to see this film. Her role as Akira brought laughter, smile, and excitement into the film, she was far better off then Katrina. Also she looked better with ShahRukh, he did not look older then her, she did not look younger then him, they looked perfect together on screen. Anushka's career from this film will only go up as she was very convincing in her role as Akira from start to finish.

Overall: The movie was good, it could have been better in terms of the story line and some character swap, but due to ShahRukh and Anushka's performance and the sequence in Ladakh along with the fact that you would not be sure of the ending, the film is worth seeing. I rate this film 3.5/5

NEWS: JAB TAK HAI JAAN Premiere Will See Grand Celebration

The premiere for Yash Chopra's last film "Jab Tak Hai Jaan" will be like a moving museum of the late filmmaker's work, says Shah Rukh Khan and hopes it turns out to be a 'memorable' event for the film fraternity.

The premiere for Yash Chopra's last film "Jab Tak Hai Jaan" will be like a moving museum of the late filmmaker's work, says Shah Rukh Khan and hopes it turns out to be a 'memorable' event for the film fraternity. "There will be a big screen, and a special sound system is being brought down by specialists who will make film-watching possible in areas which are not regular studios," Shah Rukh, the leading man of JTHJ, revealed here Wednesday.

"It'll be a moving museum of Yashji's work, which kind of does not end, but continues with "Jab Tak Hai Jaan". But somewhere down the line, the journey is still there," added the 46-year-old, on the sidelines of the launch of a furnishings store, Bioscopewalli 

The Chopra family - the filmmaker's wife Pamela, and sons Aditya and Uday - are planning the grand event.

Jab Tak Hai Jaan's Switzerland Song Shoot Dropped

The film was to mark his return to direction after a gap of eight long years. However, little did Yash Chopra imagine he wouldn't live to see the day Jab Tak Hai Jaan hit the theatres. 

Then again, the legendary director had finished shooting the entire film, save for one last song. The eternal romantic was to capture the soft love-infused number in the Swiss Alps, a staple of majority of his films. 

However, destiny had other plans and Chopra fell ill and had to be admitted to the Lilavati Hospital, where he was diagnosed with dengue. 

Needless to say, the filming of the song was postponed. The official announcement at the time was the song, scheduled to be shot in Switzerland in the last week of October, would be shot 'later'. But following the demise of the veteran filmmaker on Sunday evening after he succumbed to multi-organ failure, we now hear the song won't be shot at all. 

A reliable source said "No one wants to touch a single frame of the film. Jab Tak Hai Jaanhas acquired a new significance now. Agreed that even earlier Aditya Chopra was overseeing the romantic portions of the film. And in all probability, he would've accompanied his father to Switzerland where the song was to be shot. But now with Yashji gone, adding anything in his absence will be inappropriate." 

The source added, "Without Yashji's presence, adding anything to Jab Tak Hai Jaan would amount to tampering with his vision. Besides the film's release is just less than a month away. So there is practically no time left." While it's early days to comment on how the death of its master creator will impact Jab Tak Hai Jaan, we hear the entire profile of the film's marketing will change. Said the source, "Also the three stars of the film Shah Rukh Khan, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma will definitely put their heads together to ensure that the film proves to be a fitting tribute to Yash Chopra." YRF spokesperson remained unavailable for comment.

gorgeous dresses and romancing Shah Rukh Khan. What surprises us is Anushka Sharma’s new
biker chick avatar which wants you to see more of her when the trailer plays.

When the music video “Challa” was launched sung by Rabbi Shergill, it went on to become the
top viewed music video in less than 4 days of it going live, and the same response is expected
with the launch of the entire music album. The movie has big names to it right from The King
of Romance to the grand maestro A. R. Rahman composing the music and the legened Gulzarji
penning the lyrics. The trailer looks promising and now with the launch of their music videos

I don't think Yash Chopra should retire: Katrina

Katrina Kaif has teamed up with Yash Chopra for "Jab Tak Hain Jaan" and says that the veteran filmmaker should drop the idea of retirement as he still has the zeal to make amazing cinema.

"I don't think he should retire. He has an amazing sense of emotion and passion for cinema. I think it will be sad. He is a legend and I don't think anyone can match him up," she said at the launch of song "Saans" from the film here Tuesday.

On his 80th birthday, Chopra had announced that "Jab Tak Hain Jaan" will be his last film as director.

Talking about her experience with Chopra, Katrina said she was shooting a difficult scene and everyone was trying to explain how to do it, but the filmmaker started cracking jokes to lighten the mood.

"He knew I was nervous and he started joking. That was an amazing moment. He is so perceptive at times," said the actress who will be seen romancing Shah Rukh Khan for the first time in the film that also has Anushka Sharma.

The film, releasing Nov 13, has fulfilled Katrina's dream to work with King Khan.

"I have always wanted to work with Shah Rukh Khan. We would meet at award functions and talk about it, but I never thought that we will do a film together. It was definitely my dream to work with him and I am very happy that we did," she said.

"Initially, it was intimidating. I had to find a way to connect with him as an actor. Once that awkwardness was gone, I realised he cares as much for his co-star's scenes as his own. He performs with the same intensity."

Talking about some of the tips SRK doled out, she said he told her to have her chin down and look up, to stand straight and to look into his eyes whenever while shooting.
