Saif Ali Khan is ahead of Bollywood King, Shahrukh Khan at the endorsement game. In the AdEx Survey, prepared by TAM Media Research, TV ads featuring Saif Ali Khan appeared for around 45 lakh seconds last year, while Shahrukh Khan was lagging behind with 42 lakh seconds and Amitabh Bachchan was third with 32 lakh.
Astoundingly cricket heroes lagged behind with only Sachin Tendulkar and MS Dhoni figuring in the list of 10 most perceptible celebrities in TV ads.
Hrithik Roshan came at the fourth position in the ad visibility list, while Kajol became the highest rank women at the fifth position. Preity Zinta, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Juhi Chawla rounded off the top 10.
Juhi Chawla beat off competition from current stars like Priyanka Chopra, Bipasha Basu and Kareena Kapoor.
Nevertheless, Shahrukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan continue to endorse the largest number of brands. In 2007, King Khan marched ahead with 39 brands while Big B was brand ambassador for 36 brands.

Mumbai (PTI): Bollywood actor Shahrukh Khan on Tuesday demanded that Value Added Tax and service tax on the entertainment industry be abolished and industry status be conferred to it.
It has become necessary to bring in entertainment industry under the ‘concurrent list’ so that it can be governed under central rules and enjoy tax concessions announced by the government from time to time, Khan said in a statement here.
At present, the entire entertainment and film industry comes under state government’ s jurisdiction as a result of which, it has not been able to enjoy the already conferred dejure industry status on it.
Shahrukh Khan would release a study on the entertainment industry on Tuesday evening highlighting the need for the removal of VAT and service tax.
The study - ‘The Entertainment & Media Hub’ is done by Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (Assocham).
Retaining the industry in the state government list deprives the tax concessions given by the Centre, Assocham said in its study.
According to the Assocham study, the media and entertainment sector would cross a turnover of Rs 1 lakh crore by 2011-12 from Rs 44,000 crore now.
The turnover of the television industry would grow by 22 per cent to Rs 51,900 crore by 2011-12 from Rs 19,100 crore, it said.

Bollywood actor Aamir Khan apologized for his blog entry where he said he had a dog named ‘Shahrukh’, alluring denigration from King Khan’s fans and outrageous people in the Hindi film industry, putting an end to the blog storm.
Aamir told newsmen at the residence of yesteryears’ Bollywood actor Shammi Kapoor: “I just wrote it out of humour and if it has hurt the feelings of mine or Shahrukh’s fans then I apologise to all.”
The actor also held that he shares a vigorous affiliation with Shah Rukh Khan. The actor had apparently claimed that he has a dog by the name of “Shahrukh”.
The unfavorable remark had sent distress effect through the film industry. Reacting on
the episode, Shah Rukh had whispered: “Earlier, people used to name their children after famous people. Somebody naming a dog after a known person is a new beginning in that direction. I don’t have a copyright over this name if used non-commercially.”
Well done King Khan, as at all times, you have maintained your cool, that’s the method to put down the lid of the arrogant and supercilious who speak with two horns. These so called elegant people ought to bear in mind that they are in no manner greater than you.

After Shahrukh Khan said that the International Cricket Council’s Anti-corruption unit had asked not to be with the team in the playing field or dressing room, ICC said it is surprised to hear that statement as IPL is a domestic tournament. The ICC said the IPL was a domestic tournament and the game’s governing body did not have any role in formulating the rules. “The reported incident has nothing to do with the ICC as IPL is a domestic tournament which is being held under the rules and regulations of the BCCI,” an ICC spokesman said from Dubai.
“Furthermore, the ICC Board in its meeting held in Dubai on 17-18 March, had decided that IPL will introduce a code of conduct, an anti-corruption code and an anti-doping code that complies with ICC regulations,” he said.
Earlier Shahrukh, the Bollywood superstar and co-owner of Kolkota Knight Rider’s team had shown disappointment saying he was barred by ICC’s anti-corruption committee in meeting his friends. I like to hang around with the boys. I am very energetic. I am very disappointed that the ICC has stopped me,” Shahrukh Said “I don’t know the ICC rules. I’ll tell only one thing: Nobody dare stop me from coming to Kolkata. I’ll be here whenever my team plays a match at the Eden.
Knight Riders’ CEO Joy Bhattacharya played down the event and said Shah Rukh was actually stopped by security personnel for not carrying a visitors’ pass. “Look, there is nothing like that. It was a gentleman from the security who stopped Shah Rukh Khan. He said Shah Rukh didn’t have a valid visitor’s pass…I don’t think there is any controversy or issue,” he said. ICC spokesperson said that BCCI is following ICC rules. But this rule was not meant to stop people like Shahrukh Khan from entering the dressing room.
Also, today in an statement, BCCI had said that everybody and even Shahrukh Khan must follow the ICC code of Conduct after he disappointment from Shahrukh.

And now the hunt for the leading lady is over, ramp model Anushka Sharma, 21, standing tall with a height of 5.9” from Bangalore will make her silver screen debut opposite Shah Rukh Khan in Yashraj movie Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. She has also promoted hair products in television commercials, and not to forget the Fiat Palio Stile ‘Meri Sapno Ki Rani’ ad. Making an announcement in Mumbai today, Yash Chopra, Chairman of Yashraj Films said the 19-year-old has been recognized to play the female lead.
“Hopefully, the announcement will end all the speculation and conjecture that had started about the identity of the female lead ever since the film was announced,” he alleged.
With Rab Ne.., Aditya Chopra takes the directorial baton after eight years. Anushka has no acting experience except ramp modelling in Bangalore, Chopra said.
Earlier, it was reported that Sonam Kapoor, daughter of Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor would be cast opposite SRK. Yash Chopra said, “We were looking first and foremost for someone who could truly embody the spirit of small town Punjab and we know we have found her in Anushka. And while she has no previous acting experience, we have seen that unique spark in her that makes us confident that she will be a standout even opposite Shah Rukh.”
Rab ne Bana di Jodi will go on the floors on May 16 and will hit theatres worldwide in December 2008.
PS: Whenever King Khan acts opposite a tall leading lady, the film is a super duper hit. Preceding examples are Mein Hoo Na (Sushmita Sen), OSO(Deepika) and now Anushka. So all the best King Khan agin!

Spinning money is not the only intention of great King Khan. The actor, who already has helped set up a children’s ward at a hospital in the city now wants to set up a ward for cancer patients also. “
He is very humiliated to say that the paediatric ward has been named after his mother. He hopes to set up a centre for cancer patients later this year, he made known. But to set6 up a hospital is his final dream.
“That’s my final dream. Though I don’t know when that will be possible. I keep telling my wife about this and she tells me that I can do it only when I stop doing the other things,” says the King Khan..
His two films this year are Billoo Barber and Aditya Chopra’s Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. But we cant deny that we are seeing a lot of SRK on the small screen than the big one. “It’s just that there’s lot of TV happening these days. We are talking about watching films on mobile phones. Five years from now, I may be doing a movie that may be released on cellphones. Does that mean I become smaller or has the reach increased,” he asked.
As a matter of fact, whether it is films, TV or cricket, SRK has subjugated every terrain. The name SRK is currently tantamount with triumph. “For success you need to know that you can go wrong and yet go ahead and do it. People who do wrong things, have overcome the thought that this is wrong. They have found their justification. Positively, if we apply the same, it will work. As soon as you accept that this can go wrong, the fear of failure decreases. If tomorrow I face failure, I hope I can say I enjoyed failure too,” he fortified.

In Aditya Chopra’s return film, three new girls have been short-listed to play Shah Rukh Khan ’s love heroine. Aditya Chopra is returning to direction eight years after he directed Mohabbatein with a big-budget Yashraj Films project titled Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi .
The earlier gossip that Sonam Kapoor has been finalized to play the female lead opposite Shah Rukh has twisted out to be erroneous.
Aditya has auditioned many girls and has finalised on three newcomers. One girl is named Simran and she is from Punjab. Another is a Mumbai girl. The third girl’s name is anonymous.
The three girls are at present in Mumbai, doing screen tests for the film.
Aditya has not been able to take a ultimate name on who will ultimately be SRK’s foremost lady in the film. So, he asked SRK to select one.
Since SRK feels he is not at ease in selecting his leading actress out of the three girls, he has gave the responsibility to Aditya.
Aditya plans to begin shooting ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ from May. The film plans to be released in December,2008.

Shah Rukh feels cricket is commercially doable and will reverse to essentials if cricket fails.
Shah Rukh Khan remarked that the opportunity to make money from cricket and then promoting it to other sports was the main raison d’être for him to get implicated with the Cricket Board-promoted Indian Premier League.
“Commerce and business are very important in today’s world. Cricket is commercially viable and we need to make money from this sport,” alleged the actor, who has bought the Kolkata franchise of the IPL, in Pune.
Shahrukh said this in the presence of Indian Olympic Association (IOA) President and MP Suresh Kalmadi who, in turn, requested the superstar to share his icon status with other sports also.
“I am very happy with `Chak de India’ and the work you did for hockey. But I’m disappointed you went back to cricket. I want you to be made the ambassador of the Commonweath Games and Olympic sports in India,” assumed Kalmadi at the inauguration of the Abhijit Kadam Memorial Football Cup.
“There are around 10 nations playing cricket at the moment and over 200 countries competiting in Olympic sports. Cricket has many fathers and I would love to have you as the brand ambassador for the Commonwealth Games,” he supplemented.
However, the annotations did not go healthy with the actor, who took a sneer at the IOA President. “Please don’t feel bad that I am backing only one sport. Sports should be part of our second nature and I am a sportsperson by heart,” he held.
“My next step would be to take it money earned in IPL to hockey, football, kho kho, also kabaddi and gulli danda,” said SRK fudging.

Kya aap Paanchvi pass se tez hain cavalcade is running from city to city auditioning for the apparent contestants for the show. As so many general public are registering for the auditions, the selection team is in a huge impasse over categorization of the challenger profiles.
The consequence of the on-air and off-air promotion is so marvellous that audience from different backgrounds right from doctors to actors have come to the audition to involve oneself as contestants on Paanchvi Pass.
Bhopal and Bangalore saw lakhs of aspirants requesting to meet Shah Rukh Khan or get his immediate look thinking that he has come personally for the auditions; although SRK didn’t travel himself for the same.
In Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata populace waited for hours outside the audition centers to take Paanchvi pass test and make some fast money; especially with the prize money of 5 crores.
The genuineness will be at last tested on Kya aap paanchvi pass se tez hain in Star Plus commencing from 11th and 12th April, 2008 in the first instance.
