Shah Rukh Khan crosses million mark on Twitter

New Delhi, July 11 : Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has got more than a million followers on Twitter a little over a year-and-half after joining the micro-blogging site.

"Celebrating the million mark by watching Bambi with my daughter. Feeling the warmth...thanx all. Love u," Shah Rukh posted on his page Monday.

The actor, who hooked on to Twitter in Jan 2010, amassed over 10,000 followers within the first 24 hours of joining the Bollywood brigade on the website.

However, Shah Rukh is not the first Indian celebrity to achieve this feat, as cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, author-politician Shashi Tharoor and actress Priyanka Chopra crossed the million-mark before him.

These days, the 45-year-old is gearing up for the release of his superhero film "RA.One", which will hit the screens this Diwali.

Bebo’s Hot New Avtar in Ra.One

Kareena Kapoor‘s hot new look from her upcoming movie has been revealed. Bebo did manage to lose 5 kilos much to her and her dietician Rujuta‘s delight, after strict diet regime of 21 days.

Kareena is playing Mummy to eight-year old son of Shahrukh.

SRK‘s look in Ra.One was much talked-about. Kareena did herself to get a sexy look.

Kareena asked her dietician Rujuta Diwekar to prepare a special diet for her so that she could lose few kilos for a particular song called ‘Chhammak Chhallo‘.

It was quite a challenge for both Kareena and Rujuta to get the desired results as Bebo was shuttling between Las Vegas (where was shooting with Imran Khan for Short Term Shaadi) and Mumbai. However Rujuta ended up preparing 3 different diets for her – one for her stay in Mumbai, one for her stay in Vegas and believe it or not… even a diet to be followed while in flight.

SRK says no to Hollywood offer

It’s often been said that Bollywood is increasingly making its presence felt on the global cinema scene. So the subsequent mix of talent can’t be ruled out of future projects. In this scenario, can Shah Rukh Khan be left out? More so, when he’s ensuring that the indigenous visual effects in his super hero flick, RA.One, are at par with international standards.

It wasn’t surprising to read reports of a Hollywood producer keen on casting Shah Rukh in his next film. Duncan Kenworthy, who’s produced hits like Love Actually (2003) and Four Weddings And A Funeral (1994), during a recent interview with HT Café, said he wanted to remake My Fair Lady (1964) as a musical with SRK.

Kenworthy, who was also chairman of the BAFTA till 2006, revealed that initially he thought of casting the Bollywood actor as an army officer. “Then I thought I should make the film in two versions, one with Colin Firth and another with Shah Rukh,” he revealed. “I’d like to pair Keira Knightley with Shah Rukh. I think they’d make a great couple on screen.” Interestingly, this isn’t the first time the UK-based producer is planning a film with the actor-producer. He recalls first broaching the subject at NRI industrialist, Lakshmi Mittal’s villa in London a couple of years ago. “That was soon after Yash Chopra was honoured by the BAFTA,” he points out. “Lakshmi introduced Shah Rukh to me then and during our first conversation, we talked about doing a film together. But we got busy with our respective movies.”

However, when told about Kenworthy’s concept, Shah Rukh declined being aware of it. Suggesting that he’d meet the UK-based producer when he visited London next, the actor-filmmaker jested, “I can’t keep on doing films where I don’t have the title role anymore. I want to be the fair lady. That will be different for me.” Wonder what Kenworthy has to say to that.
