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!

According to grapevine, King Khan will be seen with Deepika Padukone and Sonam Kapoor in the forthcoming movie Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi by Yash Raj Films directed by Aditya Chopra. Deepika’s love interest will be SRK, but SRK’s heart has been stolen by a village belly Sonam. SRK will enact the role of an NRI who returns to his country wherein he find the village girl. Since both girls are not in best of their terms {following the Ranbir Kapoor breakups), the off-screen sparks will be more interesting to watch than the onscreen ones.

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.

Aditya Chopra, Filmmaker of DDLJ and Choor Choori Chupe Chupke fame, recently finally got divorced from his wife and now intends to marry film star Rani Mukherjee. According the grapevines the Chopras (his father and mother) are not happy with the marriage, so to keep good terms with the alienated first daughter in law, they have gifted her with a bungalow in Juhu and some whopping crores to keep her lips lock. Aditya’s first marriage is 6 year old. Seems Rani too is following the steps of Hema Malini , Sridevi and Karishna Kapoor who all happen to marry , already married men and now that Kareena is also on the way. May be these girls are more fascinated in braking a contentedly nuptial home and also looks like that they have an affection to men much mature to them in epoch too.

For a performer like Madhuri who persistently believes dancing awakens mysticism, no other movie could have manifest a be suitable return to Bollywood than Yashraj Films’ ‘Aaja Nachle’.
Aaja Nachle stars brilliant actors like Kunal Kapoor , Konkona Sen Sharma , Raghuvir Yadav , Vinay Pathak , Ranvir Shorey , Jugal Hansraj and Darshan Jariwala .
Star cast:
Madhuri Dixit as Dia
She was the life of Shamli. The town never forgave her and she never forgave the town. Anokhi is in fact anokhi (different). The difficulty is, Anokhi cannot sing or dance to conserve her life, or Dia’s.
Kunal Kapoor as Imran
Imran, a local self-assertive guy, believes that love, romance etc. is for timid, not for tough guys like him.
Additional stars:
Jugal Hansraj plays an accountant.
Précis:
During a dance rehearsal in New York, Dia gets a unforeseen call from India after a decade which cause distress to her.
Her Guru, Makarand (Darshan Zariwala) is on his last legs and she must return to Shamli town. This is the town where she was born and bread and where she learned the first step of dancing,. This is the town where lived her parents and other loved ones.
This is a heartbreaking and anxious return. The Guru is no more and the foundation that he dotingly developed is in decompose and under danger of pulling down. The theatre named Ajantha with which Dia‘s past recollections are surrounded is being pulled down by the local political authorities as they feel it is a misuse of leading real estate.
Dia takes the support of Raghubir Yadav, for the prevention of destruction of the theatre and built in a new. Dia picks up the challenge in an ambience of suspect, mockery and dynamic aggression and agrees to accomplish the near unattainable job of putting together a theatrical production.
In a time limit of two months she has to prove her worth and she can take the help of members of Shamili town only, or else the bulldozers will pull down the structure.
Thus begins Dia’s turbulent expedition of big business with small town irrational knowledge, conflicting with the anger of the influential supplier, the sarcasm of the local political powers, determine the understated tensions of inter personal relationships and so on…..
Dia’s group includes small rank muscle Imran (Kunal Kapoor), the local rough boisterous Anokhi (Konkona Sen), local ex-MLA Chaudhary Om Singh (Akhilendra Mishra), a tea stall owner Mohan Sharma (Ranvir Shorey), a accountable government official Mr. Chojar (Vinay Pathak), an insurance agent Sanjeev Mehta (Jugal Hansraj), the town homeless person Dhankuber (Nowaz) and a crowd of many others.
Dia’s target is to generate in this pandemonium ,a command to save Ajanta, in a bid to safeguard what her guru so adoringly tendered. She must craft art in order to defend what she believes is the soul of culture.
Jaideep Sahni is the author of the storyline based on the idea of Aditya Chopra.
The film’s music has been given by Salim-Sulaiman. Lyrics are by Piyush Mishra, Jaideep Sahni and Asif Ali Beg.
Main attraction:
-
- Comeback of Madhuri Dixit
- The Big Yash Raj Banner
- The addictive songs, Show me your jalwa and Sonia Saigal’s westernised Come on dance with me.
- Non insertion of any soaring hero, or else the male protagonist would have surpassed Madhuri.
Madhuri has got bundle of buoyancy on her face! Not every actress makes progress or make impressive comeback achievements. Once again Madhuri has proved that rigid effort and will power are the most apt implements, which could take her to shaky position to reach the assured distance. She is the best actress with less attitude
Madhuri is aesthetic, naive, and poised, with an indispensable heart of Indianness that is classic and appeals to all viewer. An element of risk is still involved . Hindi film industry has transformed a lot during her non-existence from the front battle. Will this type of town storyline visualize audience? Will she able to live up to expectations of the people is an dubious task. Although even in her 40’s she is still gorgeous, it would be unfair to expect the same refreshing perfection from her. It is the acting talent which will be tested now. As a middle aged lady, how much deepness she will bring to the character is a big question. Kajol in Fanaa pulled off a superb comeback as a blind girl, capably assisted by Aamir Khan. Now let us wait and watch how Madhuri is made of.
That inspired restiveness is what may make the difference. Aaja Nach Le is a vigilant taxing on Madhuri and Yash Raj. If the film proves to be worth seeing, we could get to see more of that luminous, extraordinary shaft of light in the approaching years.
