Shah Rukh Khan is excited about his first superhero film “Ra.One”, which will also see him flying. And he says he is doing it for his children and hopes to succeed at the box office.”The film ‘Ra.One’ is a superhero film. There is a good guy, there is a bad guy, there is a beautiful girl, there is a wonderful singer and a fantastic director,” Shah Rukh told reporters at a press conference organised to welcome the international R&B singer Akon at Sahara Star hotel Tuesday.

“It’s a kind of film, a genre we guys haven’t tried at ‘Red Chilies’. On behalf of the whole team, I would like to try and I hope we succeed. It’s a new thing for all of us, so we are giving it our best shot. Hopefully, we will be able to do what we are set out to do. I am doing it for my kids,” he added.

The film is being directed by Anubhav Sinha and Kareena Kapoor plays Shah Rukh’s love interest in it.

He said: “My superhero character is called Jeeva and he can solidify electricity. It’s a concept we are trying to work on. Hopefully, visually it will be understandable too. It is a superhero film and I am going to fly in it.”

Actress Kareena Kapoor is known for her size zero as much as her love life and acting prowess. But here is one actor who doesn’t believe in size zero, and she is Deepika Padukone.

Yes, Deepika said that she is not a size zero and doesn’t believe in it. She added that Indian body type doesn’t suit it. She went on to say that it’s nice to be little full and have a nice shape.

Well, we all know that Deepika is blessed to have a wonderful body!

Rs.600 crore. An adopted daughter. 34 orphan girls. An adopting mother. Common thread: Preity Zinta.Even as the media raked up the muck on the Zinta and Ness Wadia romantic fissure, there was fresh meat for the scribe tribe to chew on.

Shandar Amrohi, scion of the legendary filmmaker Kamaal Amrohi, is locked in a fierce legal battle with his sister Rukhsar and her son Waseem, insinuating that the duo had fraudulently pledged his shares in Mahal Pictures Pvt. Ltd (that owns the renowned Kamaal Amrohi studio) to a company in Pune. The lure in question: business and property valued at over Rs 600 crore!

Able support for Shandar has been forthcoming from his sibling Tazdar Amrohi… and an unlikely, starry supporter: Preity Zinta!

Reportedly, Shandar regards Preity as his “adopted daughter” and is considering bequeathing all his share of the property to her.

Another girl who hasn’t been in the best of spirits is Rani Mukherjee. That damp squib of Dil Bole Haddipa with her home banner, Aditya Chopra hasn’t gone down too well with her and it has made her extra insightful.

Result, the normally sweet girl is loosing it on her staff at the slightest provocation and also has been refusing invitation for awards shows. And now she is looking for roles beside Yash Raj camp.

But the question remains, any takers besides her Yash Raj camp?

Legendary filmmaker Kamal Amrohi’s sons – Tajdar and Shandar Amrohi are gearing up for legal battle with a relative over a prime Mumbai property, and are full of praise for actress Preity Zinta for supporting them. They say “she is a blessing in disguise”.

“My brother (Shandar) considers Priety as his daughter. She is a blessing in disguise for us. She is a very strong girl and is fighting for the right cause. God bless her, ” Tajdar told over phone from Mumbai.

Tajdar and Shandar are jointly fighting a legal battle with a kin over the sprawling Kamalistan Studios off the Jogeshwari-Vikhroli Link Road. Though media reports say they are at loggerheads with their sister Rukhsar, Tajdar has refused to name anyone. However, others say their fight is with a Pune-based power broker and builder.

“I don’t want to name them right now. But the people I am talking about know who I am pointing towards, ” said Tajdar.

While almost everyone must have watched the much-hyped ‘My Name Is Khan’ by now, Kajol’s beloved hubby Ajay Devgn is apparently too busy to watch wife’s film.

Reports reveal that Ajay has been keeping very busy with his latest release ‘Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge?’, which is why he`s been finding it hard to watch ‘My Name is Khan.’ But Ajay’s ignorant behaviour has now begun to annoy the temperamental Kajol, according to reports.

Nevertheless, grapevine has it that Ajay is not too keen to watch ‘MNIK’ because of Shah Rukh, as it is believed that the two are not very fond of each other.

Well, we would just like to announce that ‘My Name Is Khan’ surely deserves to be watched for Kajol’s magnificent performance, if not for anything or anyone else!
