Shah Rukh Khan to play Army man again?

For filmmaker Yash Chopra’s yet-untitled directorial comeback, Shah Rukh Khan will once again play the character of an army offer. The actor was seen in uniform in the director’s last film, Veer Zaara (2004), where he played an air force officer. About his latest outing, an insider close to 
the development of the project reveals, “There is a war sequence either between India and Pakistan or India and China that they are going to shoot in Ladakh with Shah Rukh.” 

This would be the actor’s fourth stint as an army office. Shah Rukh started his career by playing an army officer in the hit TV series Fauji (1988). He later wore the uniform in Main Hoon Na (2004) and Veer-Zaara. 

The makers are now also leaving on August 20 for a schedule in Ladakh and Kashmir. “It’s an eight-day schedule,” adds the source.

What is interesting though is that the makers also had to shoot a small sequence in Switzerland, but now will film it in Kashmir itself. 

“A small sequence between Shah Rukh and Katrina will be shot in Kashmir,” says the insider.

The film also stars Anushka Sharma and will hit theatres during Diwali in November. 

YRF remained unavailable for comments.

SRK plans to buy a Kolkata hockey team

Kolkata, Aug 3: After cricket, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has reportedly expressed interest in buying a hockey club from Kolkata for the Hockey India League (HIL), scheduled to be held in January next year.

For many quarters, Khan's interest could do enough in injecting a fresh life into the poor hockey infrastructure in the city. Kolkata is yet to have an astroturf for holding competitive hockey matches and could not participate in national hockey leagues in the past for this reason. Even smaller cities like Ranchi and Guwahati in eastern India are developed in this regard. But SRK's has given a firm proposal to Hockey India after the latter decided that a team from eastern zone will take place in the HIL next year.

SRK, the brand ambassador of Bengal, has said that he can buy a hockey team for the HIL but it has to be from Kolkata. Such a proposal has boosted the Bengal Hockey Association (BHA), who thinks that it will help the hockey infrastructure in the state to improve. They hope that if SRK's proposal indeed sees the light of the day, the poor hockeyinfrastructure in Bengal will change for the better.

BHA sources said Hockey India officials asked them whether they can arrange for temporary floodlights at the Sports Authority of India (SAI) complex in Kolkata. The astroturf at the SAI complex in Salt Lake is the only hope for staging HIL matches in the city. However, BHA's concern is the lack of interest about hockey at the government level. Can SRK's proposal help Bengal's dying hockey culture to come alive?

Last month, IPL chairman Rajeev Shukla, BJP leader Arun Jaitley and media personality Rajat Sharma were named as board members of the HIL. Auctioning of players for the HIL is scheduled in September. The Sahara Group has acquired the Lucknow franchise while Jaypee Group has taken over the Punjabfranchise. Total six franchises will be selected from 12 cities that have hockey infrastructure and facilities. The 33-match-series will be broadcast on ESPN Star Sports.

SRK pays fine for smoking in public

Celebrities have always caught the headlines when it comes to issues with the law. Not long ago, Shah Rukh Khan drew the ire of the law for smoking in public in Rajasthan during the last IPL. The actor was asked to pay fine for his act recently. The judgment of the fine was pronounced by the Jaipur city court on a petition filed against the actor saying that the actor was "guilty" for smoking in public. The court asked the actor to pay Rs. 100 as fine.

However, soon after the court's judgment, Shah Rukh's counsel claimed that his client was ready to pay the fine and pleaded guilty putting an end to all legal trouble.

As for the complaint lodged, Anand Singh, who runs the Jaipur Cricket Academy, had filed the petition in the court complaining about SRK's act of smoking in public during an IPL match between Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on April 8. The case was filed under section 5 read with 11 of Rajasthan Prohibition of Smoking Act, 2000, which prohibits smoking at a public places.

ShahRukh Khan gives helping hand to Hrithik Roshan

While Shah Rukh Khan has declined to play the bad man in Krrish 3, he'll still be connected with Hrithik Roshan's next superhero film. 

And if that's not all, some aspects of his own superhero flick, RA.One, is turning to be of great help to Krissh 3. Yes, it's the infrastructure the actor-producer set up before setting out to make his movie that released last year. And now, director Rakesh Roshan too is using the same facilities to realise his vision for his superhero flick with Hrithik. In fact, before the release of RA.One, SRK had said that he would be inviting the Roshans to check out his special and visual effects studio to ascertain the kind of work they do before outsourcing the VFX to an outside company. Sources reveal that work on the special effects for the Roshans' film got underway some time after Hrithik started shooting for the film. Confirming the same, Rakesh said via a text message, "Shah Rukh's studio is as good as any foreign studio. The key to get perfect results is time. And I have given them 15 months. Most of my VFX shots are over and they have already started the work."
