Shah Rukh Khan : Master of Spoof !
Bless SRK for his AMAZING sense of humour which loads of film industry folk need to imbibe in large doses.
If the buzz doing the rounds in the industry is to be believed, Farah Khan's eagerly awaited Om Shanti Om features Shah Rukh Khan in a double role as Om and Om. Unlike his other double role in Duplicate he won't be seen simultaneously on the screen in both the roles.
At first SRK plays a junior artiste from the 1970s who's bumped off by a jealous hero (Arjun Rampal). He's then re-born as Om again…naturally!
While the theme of reincarnation and revenge is a direct tribute to Subhash Ghai's Karz, there are several other passages in Farah's feisty homage/spoof which do tributes or take-offs on Bollywood's stalwarts
It's time for the industry to get seriously apprehensive.
Farah's films will take pungent potshots at the film industry's bright- packers,specially at those who mattered monstrously in the 'golden era' namely the 1970s.
Apparently, none of the stalwarts has been spared from the web of satire.
One of the primary targets of satire is Manoj Kumar, the man who wrote and re-wrote a considerable amount of the grammar and glamour of commercial Hindi cinema.
Apparently Om Shanti Om takes stinging potshots at Manoj Kumar and several other stalwarts from the era.
"But all in good faith," says a source close to the film. "There's no malice intended in the satire. And Shah Rukh and Farah are counting on the belief that people in the film industry have a sense of humour."
