Deepika Padukone work with Salman Khan in 'Mr. and Mrs. Khanna'
Destiny in favor of Deepika Padukone because her debut film Om Shanti Om is running very good in theatres, now she will act with Salman Khan. In her first film Deepika got a chance to work with Shahrukh Khan and people like the pair most. Now she gets a proposal from Khan’s camp to act in Mr. and Mrs. Khanna with star Salman Khan.
Deepika Padukone obtains this opportunity at the place of Lara Dutta in the movie. Even Lara Dutta was the first choice of Salman Khan because they worked together in ‘Partner’ and setting between them very nice on the sets. Then why did Sohail Production Company take over to Deepika. According to resources actress Preity Zinta was also doing this film before Lara Dutta but due to some causes the deal didn’t finalized.
Some how it seems Salman Khan is getting impressed very much to Deepika after the success of Om Shanti Om and Sohail Khan Production sign Deepika Padukone as ‘Mrs. Khanna’ of Salman Khan. Filmy sources says recently the project is working on the script if it needs two actresses in the film then it may be possible Lara Dutta enters in the film.

40 stars in OSO couldn't be wrapped in one towel
OM SHANTI OM is pacing towards an all time blockbuster status and celebrations haven't stopped ever since. Meanwhile Sanjay Leela Bhansali is going all out to salvage his film, even as it means taking a dig on the competing film.
One such remark around the expense on costumes in OM SHANTI OM hasn't been taken kindly by the people associated with the film. Bhansali has been quoted as saying, "I didn't spend money on costumes for 40 stars." While Farah Khan comes with a firm 'no comments' on the remark, another high profile crew member refuses to take it lying down. He says with tongue in cheek humor, "Yes, we did spend money on the costumes because 40 stars in OSO couldn't be wrapped in one towel!"
In a recent interview, Bhansali has also questioned if SAAWARIYA and OM SHANTI OM battle as a comparison between a tennis match and 100 meter race. Says the source, "Well, with all due respect to Mr. Bhansali, he must have seen by now that our 100 metre dash has been in the running for much longer duration than his so-called tennis match. The collections are out there to prove so and the second week has also continued with a similar steam."
The crew member also questions the reasoning behind Bhansali's grudge around SAAWARIYA seemingly loosing out due to 'people listening to premeditated opinions and developing a preconditioned mindset without seeing the film'.
"If that's indeed the case, why is he making judgments around OM SHANTI OM without seeing the film himself? On one hand he claims that he hasn't seen the film and doesn't want to! On the other hand he has so many things to say about our film. He seems to know everything about what the film is all about, what the actors have done in the film, what kind of money has gone into costumes and what does audience feel to say about the film. Strange, isn't it?"

"If Shah Rukh wants me to promote OSO, I will." - Salman
"Shah Rukh is promoting Om Shanti Om in a big way — so why not? After all, he is the producer of the film.
I also feature in Om Shanti Om in a song, if Shah Rukh wants me to promote OSO, I will (laughs). I am pretty cool about all this, I have no qualms doing it and talking about the other project which also releases on the same day. I hope it does well too."

Om Shanti Om vs Saawariya on this Diwali
Shahrukh Khan has been all ‘Om Shanti Om’ of late. Well he might just need a prayer, considering his film is releasing with Saawariya and all that competition can only be good for the movie-goer.
“Saawariya is a huge film. Our film is a secondary film and I will try my best to make it the nicest film of the year. There is no competition; there are enough people to watch a film. I'm very attached to Saawariya also because of my relationship with so many people in Saawariya. Of course, my own child is Om Shanti Om,” says Shahrukh.
While the media hype around Saawariya verses Om Shanti Om builds up considering, both films are releasing on the same day, it looks like SRK is going the reverse psychology route by placing as little expectation as possible on his film. It certainly worked for Chak De India.
Shahrukh is also making sure he doesn't tread on any influential toes and is full of praise for the competition.
“I have a lot of respect for him as a friend, and as a director. His film is being presented by Columbia TriStar; there are many big stars in it. It’s got Salman Khan, Rani Mukherjee, and two youngsters who respect me - Ranbir and Sonam. So I have respect for that film and I wish it all the best,” SRK said.
But while Saawariya may have the star kids and of course Bhansali's genius, Om Shanti Om has another weapon in its arsenal - SRK's six pack - and we just had to ask him how it feels to be rippling with muscles all of a sudden. “I feel good having done this and I would tell all the youngsters to please work out, whether you run, or play sports,” he said.
Besides a buff SRK, what else do we have to look forward to from Om Shanti Om? Is the film as meditative as it sounds? “One is Om Kapoor and one is Om Prakash Makhija. Both of them form the 'Om' Shanti 'Om'. This is not a religious or meditative film,” said SRK.
Well a meditative film it may not be, but we certainly know a lot of fans who are going to be in a state of nirvana when SRK struts his stuff.

I gave Shah Rukh Khan my six pack : Salman Khan
Salman Khan takes a dig at Shah Rukh's new six packs, at the music release of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Saawariya' - the debut film for star kids Sonam and Ranbir Kapoor.
The music release of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Saawariya' on Saturday night ,September 15 in Mumbai was a much-talked about one.
Besides the fact that this is the first time star kids Sonam and Ranbir Kapoor were introduced to the media, it was memorable for Salman Khan's inimitable comments on Shah Rukh Khan's new muscled avataar.
"The thing is I gave Shah Rukh Khan my six pack," Sallu quipped.
Shah Rukh Khan, too, had earlier this week taken a dig at Salman replying to a question, "I'm still talented enough not to do it without my shirt."
Salman with his inimitable comments stole the show from star kid debutants Ranbir and Sonam Kapoor. 'Saawariya', which also stars Salman and Rani in substantial roles will be releasing the same day as Shah Rukh Khan-starrer 'Om Shanti Om' directed by Farhan Khan.
Incidentally last year around the same time Salman's 'Jaan-e-mann' and SRK's 'Don' were released on the same day out of which 'Don' ended up faring better at the box office.
Remarking on the "I have so far never come in front of you guys, but this time I think I am, I little... I think everybody should publicise their films, they should go all out and in fact I have never done that. Now I have learnt to do it from Shah Rukh, so that people know that the film is releasing and go and watch the film. Everybody should promote their movies. That is what I am doing," said Salman on his uncharacteristic decision to go to the press with the movie.
How they felt about taking on 'Om Shanti Om' was pretty obvious - Rishi Kapoor called 'Saawariya' a "small film in front of a very big film", while Bhansali said he was nervous about the public's verdict on how he had portrayed the granddaughter of Raj Kapoor and the son of Anil Kapoor. "it's a very big responsibility," he admitted.
Salman Khan and Rani Mukherjee have significant roles in Saawariya.
Watch for the fireworks this Diwali as SRK and Salman battle it out at the box-office!
