Salman Khan too made his first appearance on the small screen with Dus ka Dum on Sony TV. It is the creation of Siddhartha Basu and Synergy Labs, the inventors of ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ and ‘Paanchvi Paas Se Tez.
Distinct from other shows like KBC or Paanchvi Paas Se Tez, Dus ka Dum is not a quiz proramme. General Knowledge need not be crammed. The show is reasonably very uncomplicated and is likely to be acquainted with the Indian audiences very rapidly. The contestants should have the similar feeling what most of the Indian feel .The nearer the player is to the answer in the estimation poll,the healthier are his chances of winning.
Salman Khan like SRK was seen having a close bonding with the participants, but it had to be mentioned that he does not acquire the magnetism nor the screen existence like King Khan. All the player has to do is make a presumption of how the majority of Indians are belief. The show probably may catch up in the days to come. The prize money of 10 Crores is the largest amount offered on a Game Show in India thus far. But in the first episode, the first contestant lost Rs. 10 lakhs in the pursuit to play for the 1 crore question. Had she quitted at Rs. 10 lakhs she need not have faced herself in such a distressing and reprehensible state of affairs. But as the case is, this is the rule of the game!!

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.
