SRKisms

Shah Rukh Khan puts up great one-liners as his status messages on Blackberry. We list our three recent favourites...
>>Atheism is a non-prophet organisation.
>>Do not disturb. Already disturbed.
>>Only the mediocre are always brilliant.
>>If you are not living on the edge, you are just occupying too much space.

After the screening, Daddy gave beta a thumbs up for his performance. Will the audience feel the same way? Let's wait and see.

High on Heels

Abbas Tyrewala is shooting in London for 1-800 Love with John Abraham and his wife Pakhi in the main lead.

A source reveals, "Pakhi is wearing really high heels in most of the shots. Especially in scenes with co-star John.

She is short and needs to cover it up on screen. Normally, off screen, Pakhi is always in slippers and flats." Hope she is managing it well!

Mourning

Ranbir Kapoor lost his Nani (Neetu Singh's mother) yesterday morning and the shooting of his Yash Raj Film Rocket Singh Salesman of The Year had to be cancelled.

Ranbir was very close to his granny, who was living with the family at Krishna Raj cottage for many years now.

Deepika spent the day at the Kapoor house, consoling her beau, his mom Neetu, and looking after the guests who poured in to pay their last respects.

Marc's out

Marc Robinson has been eliminated from Iss Jungle Se Mujhe Bachao. Most viewers thought that his cool attitude would make him a sureshot winner as reported in the readers' poll ('Who do you think will win Jungle'; Hitlist, August 14).

The choreographer got voted out in an elimination that took everyone by surprise. Marc blamed his back for losing the competition or was there an upcoming Fashion Week running through his head?

Waiting To Bike It

Arshad Warsi is a nature lover and wishes to explore Ladakh. "It's his dream to explore the verdant landscapes of Ladakh.

The sierras and the deep valleys of that region fascinate him. Arshad says, "It's one of my wishes to ride to Ladakh on a bike as it is a beautiful place known for its serenity".

Our question is: What's stopping you, dude? Lack of time or money? Or both?

Can't get me down

Mithun Chakraborthy was shooting an action sequence in a sawmill Ashuu Trikha's Baabarr when he fumbled with some wood logs and fell down on the floor. A sourceu00a0 says, "He got up in an instant and was ready for the next shot.

Though everyone present asked him to rest for some time, Mithun brushed off their concern and finished the shot in another three retakes.

In the evening, Ashu met him at the hotel and learnt that the actoru00a0 had injured himself seriously and had bruises and a swollen leg." What dedication!

In Support

A preview show of I Can't Think Straight was held at a Andheri multiplex recently which was attended by the gay community.

The event was also attended by names like Teejay Sidhu, Monica Bedi, Raja Chowdhury, Sahila Chaddha and producer Jiten G Hemdev. Director Shamim Sharif and lead actress Lisa Ray were unable to attend as they are in London.

Iu00a0am... Gay Jay

Rahul Bose plays a gay man in Onir's I Am, which consists of a set of five short films. In the short film, Rahul plays one of the protagonists, Jay.

Says the actor, "The film deals with the issue of homosexuality and the exploitation of homosexuals due to Article 377 by people in the law and order machinery.
u00a0
I play a wealthy Kannadiga. The film depicts how the law and order machinery harasses and exploits me in an evening where suddenly things turn ugly.

The film takes a look at homosexuality and how fearful and fraught with danger it used to be before the High Court ruling.

Onir's Jay is a wonderful character very dark and edgy." Rahul had earlier played gay in Riyad Wadia's BomGay.

No Solo for Ashu

Rizvi's Fast Forward, which was due to release last Friday, has been pushed to September 25. It will now clash with Ashutosh Gowariker's What's Your Rashee? This foils Ashu's plans to have a solo release.
u00a0

It is being said that the Jodhaa Akbar director has called for a meeting with Anjum to convince him to postpone his film.

But why? The other film has newcomers, and without the backing of a big banner. Surprising that Ashu is considering even such a small film, a threat.
