SRK plays a 75-year old
SRK's new look for Dish TV ad
Seems like Shah Rukh Khan is inspired from his rival Aamir Khan or Big B after Paa, because he has donned a 75-year-old look for the upcoming ad for Dish TV. In the ad, Shah Rukh romances with his wife played by Tanvi Azmi behind closed doors by dancing with her.
Anurag Basu, who directed the ad, said, “The story is very cute. Tanvi Azmi is playing Shah Rukh’s wife. They’re hiding inside their room and are dancing.”
Anurag along with Prasoon Joshi planned the concept of the ad. “We didn’t know if SRK will agree to the idea. I didn’t want to make him Veer Zaara kinda old. It had to be different. So, pehle Shah Rukh ko buddha banaya humne pictures mein, and then showed it to him. He was very sporting and loved the idea,” said Anurag.
Shah Rukh loved the idea and immediately agreed to do it. SRK has very well emoted in the ad. His chemistry with Tanvi Azmi looks wonderful. The ad shows SRK in a bald look, but the actor is sure that he is never going to lose his hair in real life.
Well, how was his wife, Gauri Khan’s reaction to the look? “Shah Rukh called his make-up guy and gave him the brief on how to do his look. After the whole get-up was done, he did something very cute.
He clicked a picture of himself and sent it to Gauri on the phone, asking, รข€˜Will you still love me when I am old and look like this?’ I am sure he will look much more handsome when he is old!” said the director.
Salman to play Mogambo
Amrish Puri, Salman Khan
For the first time in his career, Salman Khan is set to play a villain as Mogambo in a sequel to Mr. India. In the original film, the late veteran actor Amrish Puri played Mogambo, while in the sequel Salman will be seen in the same eccentric and jazzy attire.
Anees Bazmee will direct the film, which promises the comeback of Sridevi. Confirming the news, producer of the film Boney Kapoor said, “Yes, Salman will play a negative role in the sequel, just like Amrish Puri did in Mr. India.” Not divulging much about the film, he said, “The script is still being finalised.”
However, a source revealing about the film said, “Salman was very keen to do the film as he is a fan of Mr. India. During the making of Wanted, Salman expressed his desire to be a part of the sequel and Boney assured him that he would plan a role for him. While scripting the film, Boney told director Anees to work out an interesting character for Salman and the director came up with the idea of making Salman play the villain. A character as unforgettable as Mogambo is being written for Salman. He will also have a different look in the film for which a test will be done early next year as the film is scheduled to go on the floors in February-March.”
Is Salman all right with playing the baddie? “Salman loved the idea and is quite open-minded about playing a negative role. Salman will be playing a terrorist who wants to rule over India and the story will be about how Anil Kapoor, Sridevi and their gang try to free the country with the help of another invention made by Anil Kapoor,” said the source.
Ranbir wants to rekindle romance with Deepika
Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor
When a couple (especially celebrities) break up, rarely do they get back together, but the exception has happened with Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone.
According to sources, Ranbir is keen to get back with Deepika; meanwhile she too seems miserable without him. Ranbir currently is shooting for Anjana Anjani with co-star Priyanka Chopra in Bangkok and as per everyone’s expectations, there is no spark between the lead pair. According to sources, Ranbir is not even noticing the glamorous Piggy Chops. Clearly, his heart is somewhere else.
“Ranbir was too much into his own space to even notice his glamorous co-star. He spent most of his time, when not shooting, either at the gym or taking walks and visiting malls,” said a source.
So will they get together again? “I hope so,” wishes Ranbir.

APL expressed their condolences and declared said that their thoughts are with those who lost their lives and the security force officials who fought bravely to avert further causalities. APL further declared that these terrorist haveno religion, but are criminals who must be crushed jointly with their master minds.
APL noted that recent events in Pakistan including the ever growing number of suicidal attacks i.e over 80 in 2007 & over 68 in 2008, and a sharp increase in suicide missions in 2009 prompt some serious questions of the ever-growing threat of radicalisation in Pakistan and the ever-widening gulf between liberals and theologians, trends which can also be seen in the UK. These developments are alarming and the country needs a massive international support at this very moment.
APL believes that core issues needs to be dealt with as addressing of those core issues will ultimately snatch the ammunition from the mouth of terrorist masters and hidden hands behind those pawns who use hate, and injustice on international front which act as a breeding ground to perpetrate and indoctrine poor and young to effect horrific and deadlyattacks.

Some sort of a political process and peace is the key to bring calm in the region and sooner those who make policies without visiting the region understands it, the better it will be for the country in question, the region and the world in return.

West and Pakistan must jointly check the foreign interference inPakistani areas and must avert international proxies fuelling and funding the criminal elements which is fatal to the joint collaboration against AL-Qaeda.
APL demands that a fair assessment of the situation must take place to pin point intelligence gathering, sharing and disposal to those who are on the ground to understand it to check suchattacks in near future and a thorough investigation to bring the perpetrators of such heinous crimes to books. It is also vital that those who master mind it and are behind it, and those who are arrested must be brought to task as only that can calm the bereaved families especially of those martyred who lost their loved ones today.
