Shah Rukh unbeatable in romance, says Karan Johar

Karan Johar and superstar Shah Rukh Khan have always created magic whenever they have teamed up.

They delivered hit films including Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kal Ho Na Ho and Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna, and the filmmaker feels that SRK is the ultimate king of romance and no one can beat him in that space.

"I think no one can beat Shah Rukh in romance, he owns that space. If and when I am challenged to write a love story which I feel I can justify, I will definitely make it.

Right now, I don t know if there is enough of me to make another love story," Karan told in an interview.
With Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998) Karan attempted a love story between three college students (Shah Rukh, Kajol and Rani Mukherjee).

In 2003 super hit film Kal Ho Na Ho, Karan again formed a love triangle between terminally ill Shah Rukh, an uptight student Priety Zinta and her friend Saif Ali Khan.

While with Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna he explored the side of adultery and extramarital affair.
Karan hopes to make an unusual love story yet again hopefully with Shah Rukh. "There are so many love stories that are being made.

I feel I should have something unusual about the love story for me to tell through the film.

And working with Shah Rukh is always great.

I hope and pray that I should come up with films that would justify his tremendous star presence," he said.
Shah Rukh is now back to woo his fans once again with a romantic film with Yash Chopra s Jab Tak Hai Jaan.

The romantic drama film directed by Yash Chopra, written and produced by Aditya Chopra, stars Shah Rukh, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma in the lead.

"Shah Rukh is doing Yashji s film after a gap. I can t wait to see Jab Tak Hai Jaan.

Its a film by Yash uncle, coupled with Shah Rukh s romance with Katrina and Anushka. will be spectacular," Karan said.(Dunya News)

Shah Rukh Khan hopes he will help bring back filmmakers to Kashmir

Indian actor Shah Rukh Khan, who wrapped up a nine-day shooting for a film in Kashmir, has expressed hope that his film will help bring back filmmakers to the valley, according to a report in the Times of India.

Khan was working on an untitled Yash Chopra film, which was widely shot in Kashmir.
“I am not so big but when people see the film made by a big banner with big names associated with it, people will come. I am hopeful of that,” Khan told the media before heading back to Mumbai.
The Bollywood superstar said he hoped more filmmakers will shoot at the venue which was once hugely popular, before the region was hit by conflict between the Kashmiri locals and the Indian government.
“Any aspect that is geographical, ideological or political, the reason I won’t comment on it in depth is that my knowledge is lacking. The biggest issue we have is that when people talk about things they don’t know,” Khan said, when asked about negative portrayal of Kashmir in Bollywood films
The actor said it is the filmmaker who finally decides the story to be conveyed through his movie.
On the negative portrayal of Muslims in some movies, the actor said his film ‘My Name Is Khan’ was an attempt to clear the misgiving about Islam and Muslims around the world.
“There are some people from our community who do wrong but that does not mean Islam or Muslims are wrong,” he added.
Talking about his maiden visit to Kashmir and the movie, Khan said the film is a story about eternal love.
Shah Rukh said that his Kashmir visit was long due. “It was a dream to come to Kashmir. My grandmother was from here and my father was very keen to bring me here. He died when I was just 15 so I was a bit sad to come here without him. People here have been very kind, patient and wonderful to me,” he said.
The film, which is yet to get a title, marks Yash Chopra’s return to Kashmir after a gap of almost three decades. He last shot Kabhie Kabhie and Silsila in the Valley.
Upon leaving Kashmir, Khan posted on Twitter: “Leaving Pahalgham. Learnt lıfe’s lesson in my forefathers land. Only beauty is not enuff u gotta be tough too to survive. I will be Insha Allah” - Dawn
