What's cooking between KJo and the Chopras

Karan Johar
Everyone knows that Karan Johar and Aditya Chopra are the best of buddies. And that Karan is a huge fan of Yash Chopra films. But that the Chopras and KJo are lunching buddies, is not a known fact. It was Uday Chopra who let the cat out of the bag on his Twitter account, "Had lunch with Karan and my dad at KJ's office...lots of fun and good food."

Karan confirms, "Yes, Yash uncle and Uday had dropped in at my office but then we keep doing that often. Yash uncle is like family and no, there are no tie-ups happening. It's a given thing that they are the first ones to see all Dharma films which are ready. Wake Up Sid is ready and I will show it to them. Everything that I do is discussed with Adi."

Currently, Karan is multi-tasking. "We have a long schedule of My Name Is Khan beginning from today in Mumbai till September, I am looking into the promos of Wake Up Sid and soon, the marketing campaign of Kurbaan will start. Right now, I am hyper-ventilating and will soon burst a blood vessel," he quips.

Recently, SRK was detained in the US and it was called a publicity stunt for My Name is Khan. Karan says, "I am appalled that people are calling it a publicity stunt! The film is releasing early next year, so how does it make sense to publicise it from now?

I think people who are insinuating that it's a publicity stunt lack the intelligence and vision to back their statement. And am I powerful enough to get the US security to help me promote my film? I have gone through three emotions - shock, indifference and amusement.

This kind of publicity won't help our film. MNIK is about the protagonist Rizwan Khan (Shahrukh) and we are trying to build that character. It's not about Shahrukh's detainment. Lastly, Shahrukh, Kajol and Dharma Productions don't need to resort to such tools to promote their film. I feel sorry for such people who think it's a stunt. God bless such people."
 

kajol is the goodwill ambassador of Loomba Trust

kajol may not be seen much in films these days but the bubbly actress surely has her hands full with endorsements and some charitable work. Kajol was recently appointed as the goodwill ambassador of the U.K. based Loomba Trust, a charity dedicated to the education of widow's children in and around India. The function held at Whitehall London (on the occasion of UN International day to celebrate non-violence- Oct 2) saw some bigwigs such as Cherie Blair (wife of.....

Whenever SRK is involved or partners as a producer, he is ready to go to any extend to market his product/movie, that is why he is called a marketing genius and I am pretty sure that this was a great way to generate heat for his upcoming partnered venture with Karan Johar My name is Khan, I fail to understand why? the country is so hung up about this, seems india is becoming a celebrity obsessed nation, Pathetic really

Im ANGRY and HURT??? But he has been stopped many times before but has not uttered a word!! He thought why not create a scene as this will help my movie.. Its was cheap publicity everyone knows it!

Srk had business to do that day. If you had such business, I don't believe you would like to be detained either.
