In a hat-trick of sorts, Shah Rukh Khan gets the cream of Bollywood to make another special appearance in a film with him, thereby providing a starry bonus for the audience again.
The Bollywood Badshah did it first with Om Shanti Om last year in which he had the entire film industry — well almost, singing and dancing with him in one spectacular song.
Then, earlier this month in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, the superstar had another song in which his lovely ladies from earlier films — Bipasha Basu, Preity Zinta, Kajol and Lara Dutta — were proud to feature as his dancing partners. Now, in his next release Billoo Barber — SRK’s home production directed by Priyadarshan, the lucky actor has Kareena Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone making special appearances. Strangely, Shah Rukh himself makes only a special appearance in Billu Barber. The hero, or the actor with the title role, is the avante garde Irrfan Khan.
Talking to BT about it, SRK, who plays a superstar in the film, laughed, “It’s a special appearance, but a substantial role.” No, he’s not playing himself. He’s playing a superstar called Sahir Khan who visits a small village to shoot a film where a struggling barber named Billoo happens to be his old school friend.
The barber and his wife (Lara Dutta) become the butt of village jokes when the rumour spreads that he knows the superstar. “I’m not playing myself yet, that I’m keeping for my old age — when I make a biopic,” joked Shah Rukh.
But, even in his substantial special appearance, he manages to squeeze in four songs and give the audience a film within a film, with the story going on location, behind the sets, peeping into green rooms, and catching all the live action, the sound and fury of a Bollywood unit at work. “It’s a space age film in a village,” explained SRK. “And, Inshallah, ready for release on February 13, 2009.

Guys!
Aamir has CROSSED ALL LIMITS now!!!
I think WE ALL NEED TO PROVE THE POWER of ‘SRK FANS’ to this so called perfectionist(???)!
At a promotion event for Ghajini, on bein asked bout SRK calling himself the BIGGEST BRAND(obviously), he said,
”Lata ji or Sachin Tendulkar or Amitabh Bacchan have never said that they are the best. So the BEST never claims that he/she is the best!”
Damn it! Wat more proof does this man need to accept that SRK is no.1!!!
I think i maintained my cool n wanted to be good to Aamir like any other SRK fan but i cant take it anymore!!! I m tellin all my friends to ‘BOYCOTT GHAJINI’ n i hope u all do the same.
Earlier, i was against doin this to anybody’s work BUT promoting ur own film by DEMEANING somebody else is definately WRONG!!!
We cant let him go on talkin shit bout SRK! We have to STOP HIM!
We hv to keep the FLAG of the KING SRK, flying in his absence(I think he has gone to LA for MNIK).
Please…please…please…

Listen all my dear srk fans, it wont make any difference if v dont watch gajini coz rab ne.. is already a superhit film and jst wait n watch gajni ll b a flop film coz its not at all original and is a copy of an Eng. film.
Amir Khan is a copy cat coz:
1st he made 8 pack abs to go a step further than srk
2nd he walked on ramp the same way as srk did for oso.
And he is sayin all this shit coz he is jealous of srk like many other actors.
Now srk is even there in most powerful people in the world.
So now Amir will make more comments which wont have any meaning so all srk fans just relax
SRK is the king of bollywood and ll always be.

Whether they beleive it or not, SRK is sugar in many cups of tea, he is honey in many homes and worship by respectable people in the world. He is been respected and adore by billions, don’t be surprise one day he turn into politician and become Obama of India. It’s because he is still in the bollywood and that’s why many of his colleagues doesn’t know that he is 100 times above them in this world. Whether they like it or not, he will continue to be above them ‘cos it is in his destiny. So, let us love what God loves, and we will continue to be among beloved ones.

Thank you, Mah Rukh! SRK never fails to deliver at the BO, it isn’t for nothing he’s King Khan!
And thank you once again for your kind words & encouragement, our readers’ appreciation truly motivates us.
Cheers!

Can I just say if you’re all true SRK fans why should it bother you so much that Aamir is slating SRK?? Why boycot Ghajni?? No, let the film release and see its fate at the box office. A films success is not only restricted by the actor/actress performance. There is so much more involved in the making of a film and all these need to work together in tandem to make the film a success. And even if Ghajni does better than RNBDJ, so what?? does that mean you would stop supporting SRK?? If you guys carry on crying and shouting everytime Aamir makes a comment against SRK, then what’s the difference between you and him?? Let him say what he wants, he too is in a position to speak his mind whether its tasteless. I am not bothered because I know whose films I would prefere to see and in my mind I wil always choose Shah Rukh because I like his films and appreciate his performances. I dont care if other films do better or worst, every film has to have its due and if its a good film then it should get recognised including the actor/actress who are part of that film. i think I have said enough already. Aamir (Khan), say,what you like dude, coz I aint really bothered and I dont think SRK will be either! Calm down people.

Very aptly said, Vee! I see no end to the tiresome SRK vs. Aamir battle, it’s my humble request to all of you to please stop fuelling this debate any further. When both the stars in question have reiterated the fact that they continue to remain friends despite reports to the contrary, I feel we should believe them & not the media! And please, let this thing go, it’s time to spread some good cheer!
Happy Holidays!
