SRK's work fundas!

Work is worship, right? Of course, but it's also fun, especially for Bollywood's badshah Shah Rukh Khan.

A staunch believer in hard work, he sure knows how to have his cake and eat it too. According to him work can be fun if one thinks it to be so. And since it's mostly work that defines people, he says he'd like to be defined as fun. SRK recently compared the process of making a movie to having an affair, one that's fun, exciting and... sexy. He adds that though one is never sure about the end results, it's the process that's more important. Hmm... how true indeed.

SRK reveals the mystery of Ra.1

He is a hero and the most desirable Bollywood actor in the overseas market. Already a superman at the B.O. as far as the overseas market is concern; Shah Rukh Khan who is donning the avatar of a superman in his next home production ‘Ra.1’ explains the title and reveals what’s the full form of Ra.1. He says “Ra.1 means Random Access-Version One, will understand when you see the film. Ra.1 site will be up soon.”

Well that’s the only information the superstar gave and many started wondering whether its was a khullasa (reveal) or was a smart ploy to add one more mystery to the film where Kareena plays his wife and Arjun Rampal will again show his negative shades after ‘Om Shanti Om’ and directed by Anubhav Sinha. Right now the shooting of the film has taken a back seat as the CEO of Red Chillies Entertainment - Bobby Chawla is still admitted in the hospital.

We hope Bobby recovers quickly and SRK starts filming his superman stunts in ‘Ra. 1’ and hopefully as and when the reels get completed, people will understand what’s the Badshah of Bollywood has in store in ‘Ra.1’.

Shahrukh Khan: The’ Housefull’ benefit in UK!

Shahrukh Khan is all set to take his shooting schedule of RA One ', to the UK.The King of bollywood has had a rather painful session of shooting in India.

However, news about the flick pulling it out much better in the UK, are floating around. The reason being that when the Sajid Nadiadwala film 'Houseful', was being filmed in the UK,  the producer was granted a whopping subsidy of Rs.12 crore from the Government of UK, as they were shooting the film there.

The tourist promotion of UK was said to be a major reason as to why this subsidy had been granted.

Thus, experts are reporting that even the King of bollywood, Shahrukh Khan might hugely benefit from this strategy. If the actor gets a subsidy too, it will bring his production cost down by a good percentage.

The 'Housefull' producer had reportedly saved upto 25 % of his cost by getting the facility to pay less for his shooting schedule. Thus, SRK might be able to save himself the trouble of shelling out more from his pocket too, thereby, saving his home production flick, a considerable amount of expenses.

Sometimes, it helps to tread on the trodden path!
