It was recently reported that Shah Rukh Khan will be promoting good friend Farah Khan's husband Shirish Kunder's upcoming sci-fi flick Joker. However when Farah was asked about the same in a recently held Press conference, she snapped at the Media and asked them where have they seen Khan promoting the flick.
Farah said that such rumors spread by the media irritate her. When asked if the King Khan is promoting Joker an irked Farah said, "Not at all, where have you seen SRK promoting Joker. Please stop talking nonsense. Where have you seen him, he took one picture with the aliens that was it. This is why I get irritated with you all. Where is he promoting Joker has he come on any channel, has he given interviews on it. You all spread nonsense around that is the problem.
Shirish Kunder recently posted apologies to Shah Rukh Khan on micro-blogging site Twitter for making crass comments on the actor's opus RA.One. When asked about the same Farah said, "I've not read his tweet, but that's good of him, it takes a big heart to apologise. So I'm proud of my husband if he has done that."
Joker stars Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha in the lead roles and will hit the theaters on August 31, 2012.
Actor Shah Rukh Khan is busy shooting for the final schedule of A Yash Chopra Romance in Kashmir, while back home his 15-year-old son Aryan is all set to go to London for his further studies.
Reportedly, Aryan, who has regularly been spotted with his superstar dad at various events, has been admitted to the Sevenoaks School in London.
He had been studying at the Dhirubhai Ambani International School in Mumbai; however he is set to begin another phase of his life abroad.
Sevenoaks is a prestigious educational institution barely half an hour away from London. Apparently, Shah Rukh plans to send his daughter Suhana to the same school in the future.
A source was quoted saying that since Aryan is set to enter college, Shah Rukh wants to take the media glare away from his life and have him focus on his education.
Shah Rukh Khan and Shirish Kunder had an ugly fight, during Sanjay Dutt's Agneepath success bash, when Khan heard the filmmaker taking potshots at his magnum opus RA.One. However, later Kunder's wife Farah Khan and her brother Sajid Khan made peace, between the two.
And months after the fracas, Kunder apologized publicly for ridiculing RA.One. Shirish took to Twitter to extend the olive branch writing, "I'll always regret one thing that I feel very guilty about. I sincerely apologize for my tweet on Ra.One @iamsrk."
Interestingly, Shirish had also made fun of Ra.One on Twitter. He wrote, "just heard a 150 Cr firework fizzle." And this didn't go down too well with the Baadshah of Bollywood.
Meanwhile on Farah's request, SRK has agreed to do a special song for Kunder's upcoming sci-fi flick Joker, which stars Sonakshi Sinha and Akshay Kumar in the lead roles.
Things are not going right for Shah Rukh Khan. First he was booked for smoking in public, then his scuffle with the Wankhede stadium's officials and now a case has been filed against him for disrespecting the national flag.
Social worker Ravindra Brahme has lodged a case against SRK for disrespecting the tricolour, while celebrating India's victory during the World Cup 2011. Brahme stated that while surfing the net, he found some pictures of Khan waving the flag upside down, i.e. the saffron colour was at the bottom and green on top.
Khan has been booked under Sections of Prevention of Insult to National Honour Act, 1971. The case was registered on August 14, 2012 and has been transferred to zone nine of Mumbai police for further investigation.
Brahme had also lodged a case against model Gehna Vasist, in the recent past, for using the tricolour as a bikini, for a photo shoot. Following the complaint, the model was arrested by the police. Brahme has announced that he has decided to start a movement against people who show disrespect to the Indian flag.
The case has been transferred to the Bandra police station, in Mumbai and cops are currently investigating the matter.

Shah Rukh Khan, who is quite a family man, is all alone this Eid. Khan is away from his family and friends, on the auspicious day, as he is currently in Ladakh shooting for Yash Raj Films' untitled next.
Khan took to Twitter to express his solitude, writing, "All alone on Eid... on a thin winding road. Nowhere and everywhere. Just gave myself a hug after a long time. Will celebrate with happy winds."
Though he is spending the day alone, Khan nevertheless wished his followers on the micro-blogging site. "Eid Mubarak to everyone. May Allah fill your life with happiness. Look forward to reading the Takbirat in an open space in Ladakh.Insha Allah," he posted.
SRK is presently busy shooting the last schedule of YRF's romance drama, in Ladakh. The film also stars Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma and is slated to hit the theaters on November 13, 2012.
'A friend in need is a friend indeed', goes the popular adage and it seems that Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is all set to prove this true.
Despite the fact that an angry King Khan had assaulted filmmaker Shirish Kunder during a party, it seems that SRK recently went out of his way to promote Kunder's film Joker for the sake of his good friend and Kunder's wife Farah Khan. Sources claim that Farah Khan had recently visited Shah Rukh Khan's residence Mannat to discuss their upcoming film Happy New Year and after the discussions got over, they started talking about Joker. During the chat, when Farah asked the Don if he would like to shoot for a promotional fun video featuring him and the aliens of Joker, the superstar graciously agreed to do so.
Naturally, Farah couldn't help but gush about her good friend's gesture, despite the fact that Khan and Kunder had come to blows during the success party of Agneepath after the latter made some nasty comments about SRK's magnum opus RA.One.
Joker stars Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha and is a comedy about the fate of a remote village, which becomes famous across the nation following reports of alien landings and crop circles.
This piece of news is sure to make everyone sit up and gasp in surprise. It seems that Salman Khan, who had a fall out with Shah Rukh Khan a few years back during Katrina Kaif's birthday, seems willing to patch up with his arch rival!
Sources claim that when Salman was in Ahmedabad recently to promote his spy flick Ek Tha Tiger, a mediaperson asked him if he was ready to make peace with the Don and Salman reportedly quipped that he is quite willing to extend the olive branch to his old frenemy, provided the media does not tell anyone about it. Now, we do not know if Sallu actually meant it or was just being cheeky at the reporter's expense.
The two Khans have been sharing cold vibes since Katrina Kaif's birthday bash in July 2008, when Salman started poking fun at fellow guest Shah Rukh Khan, almost causing a scuffle between the two before Aamir Khan and other guests intervened.
Well well…wonder what King Khan has to say about this unexpectedly friendly gesture…
Actor Shah Rukh Khan hopes to be back home from Ladakh in the Jammu and Kashmir region, for Eid-ul-Fitr, which falls on Monday.
He will be shooting the last schedule of A Yash Chopra Romance film in the Valley.
At a recent event, Khan said, "I'll try to come back for Eid, read the namaaz at home and all. But I don't know if I can come back from Ladakh if I am shooting there."
Shah Rukh, who reportedly plays an army man in the film, would be growing a beard for this particular schedule.
The teaser of the film was released on August 15, along with the release of the Salman Khan-Katrina Kaif starrer Ek Tha Tiger.
The yet-untitled film also stars Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma and is slated for a November 13 release.
A few weeks ago, there had been news in the media that the television unit of Shah Rukh Khan's company Red Chillies, which made shows like Parindey and Tere Mere Beach Mein, has shut shop due to certain issues.
However, the King Khan recently claimed that nothing could be further from the truth. Khan did admit that he might outsource the work of Red Chillies Idiot Box, but that the unit has not shut down but is merely on hold. Khan also revealed that he plans to focus on the VFX wing and film production so they might not make new shows through the television unit.
Shah Rukh Khan will be next seen making a comeback to his romantic persona with Yash Chopra's Untitled love story, which also stars Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma. The film, which is one of the most highly anticipated films this year, is slated to release during Diwali 2012.
Fans of Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan, who were looking forward to see the former appear in a cameo in the latter's superhero flick Krrish 3, will surely sigh in disappointment on reading this piece of news.
It seems that director Rakesh Roshan recently denied reports about Khan appearing in a cameo in the film. It had been reported back then that the King Khan might reprise his RA.One superhero role for Krrish 3. However, now it seems that Khan might just be helping the Roshans with the special effects for the movie, as he has dealt with this department during his own RA.One days.
Krrish 3, which stars Hrithik Roshan and Priyanka Chopra, will also have actor Vivek Oberoi playing the role of the antagonist named Kaal. Meanwhile, Shah Rukh Khan will be next seen playing a romantic role in Yash Chopra's Untitled flick, which also stars Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma as the female leads.
Actor Shah Rukh Khan has denied reports that the shooting schedule of Rohit Shetty's Chennai Express is changed. There were reports that the film's schedule had been advanced so that the actor could be with his team Kolkata Knight Riders for the Champions League starting October 9.
The actor recently clarified, "No, please don't believe what you guys read, write and show. I'll tell you if you start believing the lies you only say, it's going to be really bad for you. You at least should know. It's normal shooting, whenever we start shooting... Inshallah, in September. We were always starting in September."
Currently, Shah Rukh is shooting for the Yash Chopra film in which he is cast opposite Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif.
Life certainly seems to be coming full circle for Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan. The 'King Of Romance', who started his acting career by playing the role of an army cadet in television series Fauji, is reportedly playing an army officer in his next untitled film, which marks the directorial comeback of Yash Chopra.
Sources close to the film claimed that the film will also have a war sequence between either India and Pakistan or India and China, which is going to be shot in Ladakh. The film unit will leave for their schedule in Kashmir and Ladakh on August 20. Incidentally, Shah Rukh Khan has played the role of a military officer in Farah Khan's Main Hoon Na and also in Veer Zaara, two films that turned out to be major hits.
Yash Chopra's untitled flick is one of the most awaited films this year as Khan will be seeing do what he does best- romantic roles. The film is also genereating a buzz because Khan will be seen romancing Katrina Kaif for the very first time in the movie.
This Yash Chopra directed untitled flick is slated to release this Diwali. Lets wait and watch if playing an armyman proves to be lucky for the King Khan once more…
Buzz is that Shah Rukh Khan and Rohit Shetty's latest venture Chennai Express has been sold for a mammoth 105 crore rupees.
Rohit Shetty has hit a purple path with his latest film Bol Bachchan also proving to be a success at the box-office.
Sources claim that Shah Rukh's company and a major film corporation are partnering for this film so chances are that they will only sell the satellite, home video and music rights and actually keep the overseas and Indian theatrical rights with them.
Chennai Express, also starring Deepika Padukone is set to go on floors by the end of this year.
After Hrithik Roshan agreed to appear in a cameo in Shah Rukh Khan starrer Don 2, it now seems that the King Khan is all set to return the favour. Sources claim that Khan will probably be seen in a cameo in Hrithik's super-hero flick Krrish 3.
It is being said that the two superstars have been meeting up recently to discuss the possibilities of Khan appearing in Krrish 3 and that as Khan has already played a super-hero in RA.One, he might even appear in that avatar in Hrithik's flick, in which the latter himself plays a masked super-hero.
Directed by Rakesh Roshan, Krrish 3 will also star Vivek Oberoi as the antagonist Kaal.
After Priyanka Chopra, who decided to lend her voice for a song in her upcoming flick Zanjeer Remake, it seems Katrina Kaif wants to try the same for her own film. Sources claim that the lissome lass is all geared up to sing for her upcoming Yash Chopra helmed flick, which will see her starring opposite Shah Rukh Khan for the very first time.
It is being said that earlier, Katrina was quite eager to sing for Dhoom 3 and had also rehearsed for it but now that plan has been put on hold as she wants to croon for Yash Chopra's directorial comeback. The song in question has been penned by Gulzar and composed by the 'Mozart Of Madras' A. R Rahman.
The as of yet untitled flick also stars Anushka Sharma apart from Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif.
Age certainly seems to be having a mellowing effect on our 'Tiger' Salman Khan. The actor, who will be next seen playing the role of an undercover RAW agent in Kabir Khan's Ek Tha Tiger recently wished Shah Rukh Khan professional success, despite the fact that the two actors share cold vibes!
In a recent interview, when talking about competition, Sallu bhai, as he is fondly known, said that he wishes every actor's films does well and when the interviewer asked if these wishes extend to arch rival SRK as well, Salman said that he indeed wishes the 'King Khan' professional success, for the simple reason that hundreds of people are involved in the making of a film and its always good when everyone makes money.
Ek Tha Tiger, which has former flames Salman and Katrina Kaif romantically paired opposite each other, releases on August 15.
Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who had essayed the iconic role of Devdas in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum opus Devdas, seemed in quite a genial mood when he attended the new poster launch of Bhansali's production Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi and there are already rumours that the duo might team up again.
Readers might remember that Khan and Bhansali had shared cold vibes during the release of Khan's Om Shanti Om, which came out at the same time that Bhansali's Saawariya did. Incidentally, Om Shanti Om was directed by Farah Khan, who makes her acting debut with Bhansali production Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi.
However, it seems that all is well between the two and Khan also ribbed Bhansali in a good-natured way at the Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi event when he quipped, "I would like to thank Sanjay for finally producing a light-hearted and fun film." Sources claim that post the event, Khan and Bhansali went to the latter's office and spent hours talking about the good old days and ideas on working together once again.
Seven years ago, Shah Rukh Khan was seen in a bathtub filled with rose petals for a soap commercial. The star is apparently gearing up for another soap advertisement. It appears that Shah Rukh Khan along with Katrina Kaif will feature in this particular commercial.
Shah Rukh's advertisement which also featured Kareena Kapoor, Hema Malini, Juhi Chawla and Sridevi.
Sources claim that the advertisement is slated to be shot in September.
Speculation is that the ad will be released during Diwali to coincide with the release of their Yash Chopra film in which both star together.
Filmmaker Shirish Kunder, who got in a spat with Bollywood superstar and wife Farah Khan's good friend Shah Rukh Khan at a party this January after making some uncharitable comments about SRK's Ra.One in a state of inebriation, has reportedly given up alcohol!
The reason- wifey Farah Khan apparently cracked the whip and like a good husband, Shirish decided to give it up. It is being said that Farah persuaded him to give up alcohol by making him realise that his career and image as a filmmaker might get affected because of his habits.
The much publicized brawl took place during the Agneepath success party when a tipsy Kunder made nasty remarks about the King Khan's magnum opus Ra.One and the miffed Don assaulted Kunder until Sanjay Dutt intervened and pried them apart. The dispute later got resolved when Sajid Khan and a few other mutual pals brokered peace between Farah and Shah Rukh.
Kunder's next film Joker is a science fiction adventure film starring Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha, among others.
