SRK-Bat man's dark side

SRK has made fun of all the rival teams, including that of MS Dhoni, Shane Warne and VVS Laxman who represent Chennai Super Kings, Rajasthan Royals and Hyderabad Deccan Chargers respectively.

King Khan or say Shah Rukh Khan, the actor, who is known for his wicked sense of humor, just can't seem to stop making digs at his rivals at various public platforms. In the past, SRK made digs at Amitabh Bachchan's good friend Amar Singh and during this year's Filmfare award, SRK didn't spare too many colleagues, including Akshay Kumar. And SRK never seems to fall short of people he can make fun of.
Now, the actor has a new ground to cover — the Indian Premier League. Naturally, the actor (who owns the Kolkata Knight Riders) is jubilant about his team winning the first-ever IPL match against Dr. Vijay Mallya's team. Now on the Web site of his team Kolkata knight riders, SRK has made fun of all the rival teams including that of M.S. Dhoni, Shane Warne and V.V.S. Laxman, who represent Chennai Super Kings, Rajasthan Royals and Hyderabad Deccan Chargers respectively.
Not only has SRK made digs at the rival teams but also cricket legends and former Indian captain, Krishnamachari Srikanth, who was the highest scorer when India won the World Cup in 1983. The other nasty dig that SRK has made is on Lalchand Rajput, who incidentally was the coach in-charge of the victorious Indian team for the T20 World Cup. SRK has insulted Rajput by putting his picture on an advertisement on the Web site with the heading “Waste book,”which says: “If, like former team manager Lalchand Rajput, you suddenly find yourself with plenty of free time, don't despair.” However, the dig that takes the cake is a magazine cover called Chicinfo where SRK has not even spared his close friend Yuvraj Singh. The cover page has Yuvraj Singh's picture with a South Indian actress and reads: “Yuvraj Singh seen with someone who looks like Katrina Kaif',” “Yuvraj Singh seen with Deepika Padukone” and even “Yuvraj Singh parties with Jessica Simpson.” There is one more 'advertisement' which says: 'When you have good looks and great style, nobody really cares about performance when it matters. Just ask Yuvraj Singh.' Incidentally, Yuvraj is the captain of Preity Zinta's IPL team, Kings XI Punjab. Well, one thing is for sure. These tricks will certainly not help SRK win any matches, but it will definitely leave a bad taste in the opponent's mouth.

Filmmakers' Capital

Delhi gets new role for Bollywood with filmmakers throng to the Capital. What's more, not only the history in stones in the films' backdrop, but also its protagonists are Delhiites. Be it Ranbir Kapoor of Delhi Belly, Akshay Kumar of Chandini Chowk to China or Abhay Deol of DevD, there are eight films in the making, where the central character is a Delhiite. So what is it that sets a Delhiite apart from a Mumbaikar or any other place?
One noted Filmmaker and director said “Delhiites have a typical sense of relaxation, be it car, fashion, trends or anything else. They are the deciding factor of their status in the society.” When the lead protagonists of Rakeysh OmPrakash Mehra's Rang De Basanti, bearing candle-light vigils, marched hand-in-hand, it was none other than but India Gate in the backdrop that stood out apart from their inspiring unity. After several cross-country movies, filmmaker Deepa Mehta has now settled on Delhi for her next movie. Delhi also became the battleground for Shah Rukh Khan. Aamir Khan too seems to have been mesmerized by the charm of Purani Dilli after romancing Kajol in Fanaa now his next venture has been aptly titled Delhi Belly. While Aamir Khan has produced the film, it will be directed by Swedish director Robert Nylund, and Ranbir Kapoor will be playing the lead. "Each city has a character that is cinematically explored by filmmakers depending upon the script," said Aamir.
Cheeni Kum was another movie that saw Amitabh Bachchan land there to woo his love interest Tabu. Many credit this sudden interest in the city to its colorful vibrancy, a wonderful history, a mix of all the cultures, and a raw appeal that has been explored like never before.
