Needing to get into some serious shape, Sanjay Dutt has decided to outdo SRK’s 6-pack abs which he flexed in Om Shanti Om and hired an American trainer for his next action flick Blue, which he will begin shooting in June.

Besides getting on the wagon and becoming a teetotaler, Dutt has changed his eating habits per the trainer Lawrence’s diet for him. He has also taking up spinning (pedaling a stationary exercise bicycle) for a couple of hours every day. His role in Blue will also require him to learn underwater swimming and deep diving.

So will Dutt manage to create 8-pack abs before the summer? Here’s to seeing the new Dutt very soon.

Apologizes to the lady fans of SRK, as they will be disappointed when they next see their hero.

Yes, it looks like even though SRK is appearing in an item number song for Rakesh Roshan’s Krazzy 4, he will not be shirtless as in Om Shanti Om.

The baadshah of Bollywood has decided that although he did it for his good friend Farah Khan, he’ll be keeping his 6-pack covered-up for any future appearances.

SRK will be dancing to the English song ‘Break Free’ as a Michael Jackson look-a-like??????

Aamir Khan’s directorial super-hit Taare Zameen Par is on its way to sweep Shah Rukh Khan’s film Om Shanti Om right out of the way as it goes speeding past in sales. Although TZP box office sales did go down in the third week, they began soaring once again in the fourth.

TZP is getting set to break OSO’s record sales by almost crossing the Rs. 770m mark. The cash registers at the box office are certainly keeping busy with everyone wanting to see TZP and experiencing it for themselves. Will TZP become the top grosser? Let’s wait with anticipation to see. Even if it doesn’t, which it looks as if it may, we’re sure Aamir is riding high on this one!

What: Deepika Padukone and Arjun Rampal meet Om Shanti Om combo contest winners
Where: Fame Cinemas in Inorbit Mall, Malad, Mumbai
When: November 26, 2007

In an ongoing promotional campaign Deepika Padukone and Arjun Rampal visited Fame Cinemas in Inorbit Mall, Malad, Mumbai to meet with the winners of Om Shanti Om combo contest. The day happened to be Arjun Rampal’s birthday but the star chose to focus on promoting the film, which has been declared a smash hit.

Although the baadshah of Bollywood ushered in the 38th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa this week, there were no mainstream Hindi blockbuster films to be seen as part of the festivities. Last year’s festival had scores of cine-goers waiting for hours in some cases to see Rang De Basanti, Krrish and Lage Raho Munnabhai. So what went wrong this time?

It seems that there was a question as to what constitutes mainstream cinema in the eyes of the organizers. Does Bollywood fit into that category? Or was the problem the fact that many Bollywood producers refuse to equip their films with subtitles?

Either way, the festival didn’t showcases any blockbusters but rather chose Bhavna Talwar’s controversial film Dharm and Sameer Hanchate’s Gafla for the Indian Panorama segment, where these blockbusters would normally appear.

Wonder what SRK thought about that? After all, Om Shanti Om didn’t make the cut either.

What: The team of OSO unveils ‘The Making of Om Shanti Om’ book written by Mushtaq Sheikh
Where: Sahara Star, Mumbai
When: November 20, 2007

On November 9, 2007, I Crave Bollywood featured the news that Farah Khan vowed never to work with her hubby Shirish Kunder on another project after a dispute over a scene in their film Om Shanti Om. However, despite their differences and a long standing dispute, there are rumors that SRK and Shirish will work collaboratively on a comedy venture by Kunder, untitled at this time.

What melted the ice between the two? It seems at the screening of OSO, Kunder went up and complimented Khan on his performance. Guess a little praise goes a long way.

What: Special screening of Om Shanti Om for underprivileged children
Where: Gaiety Galaxy, Bandra, Mumbai
When: November 14, 2007

On Children’s Day Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and Arjun Rampal met children of various NGO as they watched a special screening of Om Shanti Om in Bandra. The celebs signed autographs and posed for pics with children who were thrilled to see them during the interval of the movie.

What? The end must be near. Karan Johar is giving up his fixation for starting the titles of his films with “K”? We never thought we’d see the day, but yes, it is true. K-Jo has been taking advice from his pal SRK, who neither believes in superstition nor numerology.

So what does Khan believe is the success of any film? “It’s the hard work and love put in one’s work that will determine the success or failure of a film, not the presence or absence of any alphabet in the name or title.”

Johar is currently looking for ideas for a non-K title for his next directorial venture, which will of course include Khan as the star of the show. In the meanwhile, he is still at home taking care of his ailing mom, the reason why he had to miss out on the London premiere of Om Shanti Om.
