Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan , who is quite a genial chap usually, recently spoke about things that he hates and uploaded it on his Facebook page for his fans. Taking to the social networking site, SRK wrote, “I hate controlling people and in return hate being told what to do according to their sense of right.

Veteran writer Salim Khan , whose son Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan recently buried the hatchet at an Eid party, spoke about how stars nowadays lack the courtesy that rival actors had back in the day. At the trailer launch event of Sholay 3D, when asked about the rivalry between Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan, Salim said, “It is not the case that Salman will celebrate if Shah Rukh Khan's film becomes a hit and nor will SRK throw a party if Salman's film becomes a hit. There can be no love between rivals, but there should be a professional courtesy. Back in the day, actors like Dilip Kumar, Dev Anand and Ashok Kumar had such qualities. Nowadays, the younger lot is much more intolerant and impatient.” Former rivals Salman and Shah Rukh Khan had worked in Karan Arjun and the King Khan recently claimed that he has no issues about working with Salman once more.

It was mentioned in this column last week that milestone of 200 crore being achieved by Krrish 3 seemed doubtful. However, with the film scoring stunningly high during the weekdays and creating one record after another, a double century is now a cakewalk. In fact now the next huge target is for the film to cross the 225 crore milestone of Chennai Express which seems in sight, considering over 165 crore that the film has already netted in Week One. These are indeed marvellous results for a film and especially its genre which was always a risk to begin with. Moreover, Rakesh Roshan has further re-established his supremacy as the only filmmaker from the 80s who has continued to change with times while keeping Indian emotions intact. With Krrish 3, he can pretty much wear the crown of 'Showman' on his head and the only filmmaker to have managed such terrific record critically as well as commercially. For someone who started his career as a director with Khudgarz (1987) 26 years a...

Ever since the trailer of Saif Ali Khan 's upcoming film Bullett Raja has been unveiled, the film has been drawing comparisons with Salman Khan 's Dabangg for its North Indian flavor and massy dialogues. However, in an interview, when asked if Bullett Raja would be Saif's Dabangg, the Nawab said that it is unfair to compareBullett Raja with Dabangg as the Salman starrer was a more larger-than-life entertainer whereas Bullett Raja is an entertaining version of an UP gangster movie. Saif added that ifBullett Raja turns out to be half as successful as Dabangg, he would be very happy indeed. Directed by Tigmanshu Dhulia, Bullett Raja also stars Sonakshi Sinha, Jimmy Sheirgill, Vidyut Jammwal, Gulshan Grover, Chunkey Pandey and other actors.

While grapevine had it that Imran Khan will be seen playing a superhero in Vikramaditya Motwane's upcoming film Bhavesh Joshi, the actor recently cleared the air stating that the movie has got nothing to do with sci-fi or supernatural elements. Talking about the film, Khan said, “I should set the record straight this is not a superhero flick, there is no science fiction or supernatural element in it. It is a story of a normal guy, set in the real world. There are no fantastical elements in the movie. Also it's not based on any Gujarati play and the film is set in Mumbai.” “I'm very excited to work with Vikram, I think he is one of the most exciting directors working today in the country and our sensibilities, as far as films are concerned, are very similar,” he further added. Meanwhile, Imran is gearing up for the release of his upcoming film Gori Tere Pyaar Mein in which he'll be seen opposite Kareena Kapoor Khan.
