SRK's apology


The Temptation world tour of Shah Rukh Khan in 2005 was a grand success.

However the Temptation Reloaded Tour which started off brilliantly this June in Rotterdam in Holland has run into rough roads after the shows to be conducted in Berlin on last Friday, followed by concerts in Munich on Saturday and in Frankfurt on Sunday were canceled leaving thousands of King Khan's die hard European fans disappointed.

This is for the first time international concerts of Shah Rukh Khan who undoubtedly is the biggest international Bollywood star and biggest crowd puller are being canceled.

The Bollywood Superstar on Friday apologized to all the people who had already bought the tickets and were waiting to catch a glimpse of their favourite Indian movie icon.

SRK said that he want to thank all the fans from the bottom of his heart for making him such a big star and that he is extremely sorry that he could not live up to the promise that was given to the people of Germany which has one of the largest congregation of his stardom.

He also said that he has previously done shows in every part of the world from South East Asia, UK, Africa, Americas and Europe but never had experienced a bad luck to cancel a tour in the last moment.
For the people of Germany, SRK let it be known that for the last five or six years one of his biggest desires as an entertainer has been to perform in Germany due to the reason that in spite of the country's citizens not knowing Hindi and also not belonging to the Indian culture has given him enough reasons to believe that he is an international star.

Talking about the reasons why the three shows in Europe were cancelled, Shah Rukh said that as the leader of the pack and because of his age and reputation, he is immensely responsible to the people who love him and come to watch him.

One reason is that he needs to give all the viewers the best possible quality entertainment along with his team and the second reason is that he has to provide his team with the best of comforts, the best methods of execution and the best atmosphere for work.

SRK said that because he felt he will not be able to carry out both these responsibilities in the way he desired, the three shows were done away with.

Sensasian Media Limited, which is the promoter of these three shows breach of contract and not fulfilling their obligations in due time is the main reason why the shows were canceled.

"Celina, Gul and Isha have all the fun in HELLO DARLING" - Chunky Pandey


Chunky Pandey is keeping busy. In fact very busy. At last count, the man who made his Bollywood debut almost two decades back, has as many as 9 films lined up for release in next few months. While most of them are comedies, Chunky can's stop grinning from ear to ear while talking about his forthcoming release HELLO DARLING.
"Remember KYA KOOL HAIN HUM (Riteish Deshmukh, Tusshar Kapoor)", questions Chunky, "If you laughed along with it, you would doubly laugh with HELLO DARLING. You saw men having some fun in KKHH, now you would watch women letting their hair down for HELLO DARLING. It is easily the female version of the Sangeeth Sivan laugh riot."
So can one expect some bold humor being on the forefront in HELLO DARLING as well?
Laughs Chunky, "Wait for the movie to release to see for yourself that what transpires amongst the ladies out here. But based on what I have seen, Celina Jaitley, Gul Panag and Isha Koppikar surely seem to be having fun while shooting."
A Subhash Ghai production, HELLO DARLING is being wrapped up in quick time and has a debutant director Manoj Tiwari at the helm. With music by Pritam, the film is looking at a late 2008/early 2009 release. Apart from Chunky Pandey, HELLO DARLING also stars Javed Jaffrey and Rajpal Yadav.
Some of the other films that Chunky Pandey is working on this year are Subhash Ghai's PAYING GUEST, Indra Kumar's DADDY COOL, Rajiv Ruia's part animation-part live film RONNIE & ROCKY, Ajay Chandok's KHALBALI, Neeraj Vora's SHORTKUT, Anubhav Sinha's SANKAT CITY and Sangeeth Sivan's EK - THE POWER OF ONE and CLICK.
