In respond, the chief minister urged the actor to take some “initiatives” in the Film sector in the state.
Nevertheless both the chief minister and Shah Rukh were reluctant to disclose the details of the meeting, officials who were present assumed that a bundle of things were discussed, the main focal point was on the cricket academy and the Film Production in West Bengal.
A senior official clued-up “Shah Rukh proposed to set up a modern cricket academy in the state. The academy will be set up on the lines of Australian Cricket Academy in Melbourne. But the discussion was very informal as no formal proposal was submitted by Shah Rukh.”
It is learnt that the chief minister invited King Khan to empower in the film industry of the state principally in the production sector. Mr Bhattacharjee explained Shah Rukh about the Kolkata Film Festival (KFF) and he invited Shah Rukh to attend the next KFF listed to be detained in November.

The data which experienced actor Amitabh Bachchan offered in his blog about ‘Kya Aap Paanchvi Pass Se Tez Hain’ hosted by Shah Rukh Khan fail to give a complete picture, alleged Siddhartha Basu, the producer of the TV quiz show.
‘Mr. Bachchan is entitled to his views and we respect his opinion, whether we agree with it or not. The figures sent to him as used in the blog give an incomplete picture,’ Basu remarked.
In his blog, the Big B have observed on Shah Rukh’s spell in ‘Paanchvi Pass’ and questioned why ‘despite the presence of the biggest name in the business’, the show was showing a depleting performance as per Television Rating Points (TRPs).
”Paanchvi Pass’, or as one rival channel executive sniggered, ‘Paanchvi Fail’, after its not too encouraging numbers, facing relative lower ratings, is what I wish to debate on,’ wrote Amitabh.
Amitabh made spiteful similarities between himself and Shah Rukh as hosts of the popular game show ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ (KBC) which is no longer on air.
Basu, the creator behind both the shows, explained: ‘With the exponential growth in TV sets and viewers, analysts have shown how each subsequent series of ‘KBC’ actually had a higher viewership than the earlier ones and ‘KBC 3′ with Shah Rukh had the highest number of viewers. This no reflection on the excellence of Mr. Bachchan’s hosting of the show or Shah Rukh’s wit and charm. I believe Shah Rukh makes a superb host of ‘Paanchvi Pass’, and his repartee, articulation, sense of humour and unmatched ability to think on his feet mark him out as a truly world class host.’
Separately from Amitabh’s psychoanalysis that has provoked a lot of media attention, there has been guesswork that the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) matches have pretentious the popularity of ‘Paanchvi Pass’.
Basu agrees that IPL has affected the show’s viewership, saying: ‘Yes, of course, all new shows launched during this period such as ‘Paanchvi Pass’, and running ones too have been hugely affected by the IPL. A truer picture of the response to the show would emerge after IPL as its telecast would continue for the full run of 36 episodes.’

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.

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.

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!

The movie “Boothnath” is aimed at children audience on vacation. The movie is about a friendly spirit, family generations, school pranks and relationships. The script of the movie is clear and performance of Amitabh Bachchan is extremely perfect. Though the film shows Ghosts, it is not a horror movie and it just tries to get spirituality in theme.
The movie starts off as a perfect entertainer for kids. There is even a song sung by the kids Hum to Hain Aandhi dancing adult style, which borrows heavily from Westside Story the cult Hollywood film of the ’60s. Banku (Aman) has just shifted with his parents (Shah Rukh Khan and Juhi Chawla) to this huge house in Goa. But the house is haunted by an angry ghost (Bhoothnath) whose sole aim in life is to rid the house of its inhabitants. And the ghost can be vengeful.
But the ghost is no match for Banku’s charm and innocence. Soon they develop a rapport and the two of them create a magical world of their own. Some very good special effects as Amitabh appears and disappears at will. And Aman is a fairly spontaneous actor. He should have been given better dialogues instead of the stilted dialogues he is now busy mouthing.
Aman insists he has a special friend who is not visible to anybody else. But his mother does not believe him. Then suddenly one day Juhi Chawla realizes his her son is telling the truth. So Bhootnath is forced to appear in a human ‘avatar’ in front of Juhi too.
Chopra was very forthright and honest in admitting that Big B and SRK will not be seen sharing the same frame in Bhoothnath. He elaborates that this is so as it is the demand of the script.
Final verdict:
A summer vacation movie for the kids
Rating: 2/5

Sources at Red Chillies, a firm floated by the star, said Shah Rukh was besieged with the shore up his team was being paid in Kolkata though they had suffered four defeats in a row. “So this performance is to thank the KKR supporters in Bollywood style,” revealed a close source.
“Actors Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor have given their verbal consent to be part of the show. Besides, famous WWE wrestler Khali may also make a brief appearance at the show,”the sources added.
Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) joint secretary Amitabha Banerjee said: “We don’t have a problem with Shah Rukh’s performance if the arrangements don’t interrupt ours.” But West Bengal Sports Minister Subhas Chakraborty said: “Thursday is Pochishe Boishakh - the birth anniversary of poet Rabindranath Tagore.

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.
