Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif in "Tees Maar Khan" - Photos

Farah Khan babies debut

    Czar, Diva and Anya will appear during the end credits of Tees Maar Khan

    No filmi aspirations, darlings? Farah Khan with Diva, Anya and Czar

    Farah Khan's triplets Czar, Anya and Diva will debut with their mom during the end credits of Tees Maar Khan.

    The director is sticking to her 'tradition' of having the film's cast and crew appear during the end credits like she did for Main Hoon Naa and Om Shanti Om.

    A source reveals, "Farah even had a makeshift nursery built on the sets during the Malshej Ghat schedule so she could spend more time with her babies. As such, they are familiar with everyone from Akshay and Katrina to the spotboys."

    Getting the kids to appear in the credits was a special moment for Farah. "On the day of the shoot, the triplets were quite excited but at the same time wanted to get off camera. While Anya and Diva are seen wearing cute dresses, Czar will be seen in a baby tux."

    Farah confirms, "Yes, my babies will be seen in the film. They wore formals and refused to do anything. Diva got bored and walked out followed by Czar. Anya looked around, shrugged and went out as well."

Farah treats Kat to promised cinnabons

    Gives Katrina Kaif the sweets she craves in return for staying slender till item song Sheila Ki Jawani was shot.

    Farah Khan believes in keeping her artistes happy. She promised her Tees Maar Khan heroine, Katrina Kaif a special treat if she managed to maintain a slender waist for her raunchy number, Sheila Ki Jawani. Yesterday, Khan fulfilled Kat's craving to have Cinnabons.

    Says the director, "Katrina has worked extremely hard on the song Sheila Ki Jawani over the last couple of weeks. I had told her I'd give her whatever treat she wanted after the song was done. She wanted Cinnabons so yesterday I got three dozen in assorted flavours on the sets after we packed up. The day before wrap-up, she finished shooting for the song, went for a press endorsement in the evening and then went to the gym at midnight and worked out."

    Farah is impressed with Kat's professionalism and dedication. "She had to wear a low waisted, half-saree for the song so for the last two weeks she cut down on carbohydrates, didn't have any sweets, went to the gym regularly and followed a strict diet. She did whatever I told her to do. Now that the song is over, the poor girl can eat to her heart's content. Her performance in this song is going to shock people."

    Incidentally, Shah Rukh had gone on a diet and almost starved for Om Shanti Om and Dard-e-Disco. A defensive Farah states, "I don't ask my stars to starve. I just tell them that this is what you have to look like and these are your costume references. Like Madhuri will be remembered for Ek Do Teen, Kat will be remembered for Sheila Ki Jawani. She's looking her best! It is like a tribute to Jumma Chumma from Hum. Akshay is also in the song."

    Katrina says, "After pack up, we had a feast (she ate three Cinnabons). I love Cinnabons so I asked Farah if I could have some after the song got over. I have been training with Yasmin Karachiwala for the last 13 days to tone down for the song. We trained on Tuesday night at 12 am. It's not so much about losing weight as toning the abs and body. I have been on a controlled diet which consists mainly of fruit, fish and porridge."

Farah and I are friends: Shahrukh Khan (srkthedon.blogspot.com)

    Shah Rukh Khan has cleared the air over a reported rift with choreographer-director Farah Khan, saying that just because he wasn't on her next project didn't mean that they weren't friends.

    He wished her luck for her next film Tees Maar Khan, for which she signed on Akshay Kumar instead of Shah Rukh.

    "My friendship with all is as it was before, love them the same way. Many times if we are not working with each other doesn't mean that I hate her or end of friendship. I don't take my wife's decision, how could I take others. I want to see everyone doing well.

    "When I am shooting with someone, I am more in touch with him. This time I am not in touch with Farah but wish her all the success and hope this film (Tees Maar Khan) becomes a bigger hit than Om Shanti Om, which was her last film. I just hope she become even a bigger producer. Yes, she is a friend of mine. I am not doing a film with her, which doesn't mean I don't love her," said Shah Rukh.

    Shah Rukh played the lead role in Farah's last film Om Shanti Om.

Om Shanti Om's end credits inspire American director

    Josh Radner, the American television actor of How I Met Your Mother has turned director with his debut film Happythankyoumoreplease. And for his end credits, he has taken inspiration from Farah Khan's Om Shanti Om.


    Though Josh has not seen the entire film, he says he was much impressed with the idea of the cast and crew being introduced against the background of a movie premiere, with each of them getting down from a vehicle. He believes it is similar to the tradition of theatre, where the cast return in the end of a play to take curtain calls. Thanks to our own OSO, Josh decided to incorporate this in his film too. Meanwhile, Josh regrets he was unable to watch Peepli Live, which was screened along with his film at the Sundance Film Festival recently.

Akshay is the desi Robin Hood

    His role in 'Tees Maar Khan' is inspired by the English hero

    Akshay Kumar plays a con man in 'Tees Maar Khan' and director Farah Khan says his role is inspired by English folklore hero Robin Hood.

    "In 'Tees Maar Khan', Akshay plays a modern-day extra smart conman, who steals money from the rich and gives it to the poor, someone like Robin Hood," Farah said.

    "Around 50 to 55 percent of the film is complete and we plan to finish shooting by September. Like always, in this film also you will see a mix of action, comedy and emotions."

    This is Farah's third film after 'Main Hoon Na' and 'Om Shanti Om', but the first one without Shah Rukh Khan who played the main lead in both her previous movies.

    Apart from Akshay, 'Tees Maar Khan' also stars Katrina Kaif, Akshaye Khanna, Arya Babbar, Aman Verma and Ali Asgar.

    In 'Tees Maar Khan', Akshay will be seen sporting an Indian Muslim look. Designer Aki Narula has worked on his costumes alongside an international team of make-up artists and hairdressers.

    Apart from the movie, Farah's been busy on the judge's seat on Zee TV’s dance reality show 'Dance India Dance Li’l Masters', where she will be seen judging kids aged 5-14 years old.

    "I am a reality show junkie. I enjoy judging because these shows make us realise that there is so much talent here. I feel reality shows are a great platform as it gives great exposure as well as recognition to individuals. As a judge I'll try not to be harsh to the kids," said Farah who was in New Delhi to promote the show.

    When asked what does she think of the government guidelines that children under a certain age should not be a part of reality shows, Farah said: "If these kids are not brought forward how will we get to know they are so talented.

    "I feel it depends upon the parents how they mould their children, whether they turn out to be aggressive or take the competition in a healthy way."

Dhoom Tana for Israeli gymnasts

    Beijing: Farah Khan's Om Shanti Om track Dhoom Tana made an appearance at the Beijing Olympics!

    The Israeli team participating in the rhythmic gymnastics brought B-Town music to the fore by performing their final routine to the beats of Dhoom Tana (music scored by Vishal-Shekhar) from OSO. The gymnasts included Katerina Pisetsky, Veronika Vitenberg, Rahel Vigdozchik, Maria Savenkov and Olena Dvornichenko.

    Says a source, "People watching the day's events were taken by surprise when the Israeli team came to perform their final routine. When the five-member Israeli girls' team started performing the three-hoops and two-clubs routine to the Dhoom Tana track, everyone was shocked. The track was picturised on Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone in OSO (pictured above)."

    The entire routine, lasting about three minutes, had the score running through with the tempo growing towards the end and culminating in a single formation by the Israeli girls, a performance that gave them sixth position overall in the team sport where Russia claimed gold with China and Belarus taking silver and bronze respectively.

    Farah Khan says, "I don't know how the Israeli team came across the number and the reason for their choice, but I am very excited.

    Two of my dancers saw it on TV and informed me about it. Apparently, Dhoom Tana is also popular in the USA.

    Two American dancers performed to the song in the hugely popular American dance show, So You Think You Can Dance? and it's all over YouTube.

    The video is very popular and has had over a million hits. I am happy that OSO music as gone to international levels and even the world is dancing to our tunes. Dhoom Tana has great Indian energy."

OM SHANTI OM celebrates Silver Jubilee



    In the times when a decent four week run of a film is good enough to take it to a success, OM SHANTI OM has completed 25 weeks at theaters.

    On the Friday gone by, i.e. 2nd May, this Farah Khan directed film celebrated a 25 week run. Released across the globe on 9th November 2007, OM SHANTI OM went on to break records all over and turned out to be the biggest first week opener at the box office of all times with a 40 crores+ in collections. Till date the film has collected in excess of 85 crores just from India, hence turning out to be the biggest money spinner of all times.

    Commenting on the film's continued success over the months, Farah Khan says, "In the times when it is rare to see a film going through a 50 day or a 100 day run, it gives me so much pleasure to see the film getting such a heartfelt response. It is running on a matinee show at Naaz in Mumbai and I am getting feelers that the theater is confident of the film completing Golden Jubilee there.

    "My motto has been to make an entertaining film and going by audience response, I can say that I succeeded in doing that", concludes Farah.

‘I’ve six babies’

    I’m very relaxed these days. But still there is a lot to keep me busy,” says Farah Khan. “Three babies is quite a task in hand you see,” she laughs.

    Farah’s triplets are called Diva, Anya and Czar. “We’d always thought about Diva as a name option, but the others were difficult to decide. Shah Rukh and I named one of the girls Diva and Czar and Anya were Shirish’s idea,” she shares.

    Considering brother Sajid Khan has made an entire movie centred around a baby, was he any help to big sis? “No, Sajid has been doing nothing. He’s not changed a single diaper. When he came to the hospital he got terrified of three small babies and said, ‘I will meet them when they’re three months old.’ Sajid gets hyper for no reason,” she says. But then, for Farah, Sajid is a baby. “In fact, I have six babies. Diva, Anya, Czar, Shah Rukh, Karan Johar and Sajid.”

    Cut to the subject of movies and Farah does not feel that movie-making is a rocket science. “You just have to have your fundas very clear. I make fun-movies that I have fun making and watching also. And honestly, no one makes a movie thinking that this one is going to flop. I make a movie knowing that it’ll be a hit. And OSO has been a big hit. I don’t become too serious when it comes to movies. I don’t pretend to be a mad genius; well, come to think of it, I am one. But, unlike a lot of other directors, I don’t create a false aura around me,” she says.

    One thing that Farah has always been known for is her in-your-face comments. On Karan Johar’s chat show she called Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Ajay Devgan over-hyped actors of Indian cinema. “Well, being too honest does get me into trouble on many occasions. I think, with age, I’m trying to learn the art of diplomacy. Sometimes, being honest is not good, you might end up hurting someone. I won’t learn to be dishonest, but I will learn to shut my mouth and say nothing at all,” she smiles.

    Farah has cut down on her choreography as well. “I am not going to do too much of choreography any more. I was not growing as a choreographer. I was tired of doing one more college song or one more wedding song. At least, in my own movies, I can conceptualise and visualise what I want people to see and make it look different. I will only choreograph for my movies and my husband’s movies,” she says.

    Farah’s movies have some default settings – SRK, Sajid Khan and a masala script. “I’m not saying that I can’t do movies without Shah Rukh. In fact, if my script demands a 20-year-old college boy, then even he’ll laugh at me if I offer him that role. But I would always hope that he’s associated with all my movies. I think, now I want to make Shah Rukh do a comic role. I want to portray him as a mean man whom people will really love,” she adds. Farah’s next movie Happy New Year has been in the pipeline for long. “I’m still writing the script and it all happens between the changing of diapers. So, it’ll take some time.”

Farah names son Czar

    Farah and Shirish Kunder’s triplets are being treated like royalty. Not surprisingly, they also have regal names.

    Says Farah, “We have named our son Czar (the rulers of Russia were called that) as I think my baby looks like a chubby emperor. It was Shah Rukh’s and my idea to name one of the girls Diva. The names Anya and Czar have been kept by Shirish. Czar behaves like a king who needs his space.”

    Yesterday we saw the Funny Mummy Farah Khan fielding questions at the press conference of her show Jo Jeeta Wohi Superstar for Star Plus at the ITC Grand Central.

    It was the second time in the week that she was undertaking the long ride from the suburbs to town. Just a day before, she had brought her babies to Jaslok for their inoculations. During this visit, her baby boy got snipped.

    At a little over two months, Czar was circumcised maybe a bit too early? However Farah says, "Actually the earlier it is, the better. Though Czar was wailing away yesterday after that, now he is fine playing and chuckling away.”

    The buzz is that Farah has been paid over a whopping Rs 1.5 crore for the 13 episodes of the show Jo Jeeta Wohi Superstar — a huge amount for any reality show judge.

    “I am not comfortable talking about money,” says Farah and adds, “I never have been. I am excited about the show as it brings together various contestants of the other reality shows. However please don’t expect Vishal, Shekhar and me to fight it out like other judges.”

Farah Khan reveals names for her daughters

    Since the time Farah Khan had her triplets, there have number of speculations and rumors about the names that Farah and Shirish would choose for them.

    Finally, putting an end to the guesstimates, Farah informs, "I have named my girls Diva and Anya." And what about her son? She enthusiastically says, "Well, we have not zeroed on that yet. It changes every week and this week it's Zar."

    Well, her son's name still remains a mystery. Will it be inspired by Shah Rukh's? Any guesses people?

Why Shahid-Kareena were dropped from the blockbuster

    Aamir Khan may be the only well-known actor who was conspicuous by his absence in the number All Cool Boys from Om Shanti Om. But dahlings, even Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapur were nowhere to be seen. And that’s quite surprising since Kareena has been dying to work with SRK for a really long time.

    Agreed, Shahid and Kareena were not in Bombay at that time. They were busy shooting with Imitiaz Ali for Jab We Met in Himachal Pradesh. But the director granted them a day off to fly down to Mumbai. After all, who wouldn’t want to be in SRK's good books?

    But Shah Rukh has always been slightly ill at ease with Shahid Kapur (though we wonder why?!). And he wanted Kareena to come by herself (now, don't get any ideas). Kareena insisted they would either come as a package or not at all since Shahid was the-man-in-her-life then. So Kareena lost out one more opportunity and the rest as they say is history…

Treats for the triplets

    Farah Khan and her three babies have been flooded with love, good wishes and lots of gifts by the industrywallahs. The director has had a steady stream of visitors ever since she came back home from the hospital.

    KJo’s gift


    Karan Johar dropped in to meet Farah’s babies on Thursday evening. Says Farah with a smile, “The babies and I have been flooded with gifts from rocking chairs, clothes and cribs to diaper disposals.

    While Shah Rukh has given them a three-in-one pram, Sajid (Nadiadwala) and Wardha have given them a beautiful three-baby crib in which the triplets are sleeping in at the moment. Karan gave me a pair of beautiful diamond and coral earrings. He didn’t come sooner because he had a severe throat infection.”

    Khan saamaan

    Salman Khan hasn’t visited but his sister Alvira, brother Arbaaz, his wife Malaika and Amrita Arora did. Alvira gifted Farah a spa set full of creams and lotions, Malaika presented the baby girls with separate cribs. Farah refuses to talk about the gifts and simply says, “I need another room to keep all the stuff that I got.”

    However one gift Farah did ask for, “I told Preity I want baby towels from Bombay Dyeing,” joked mummy.
    Proud papa Shirish Kunder has bought three hi-definition cameras and keeps shooting the babies all day. “He wants to capture their every moment and gesture,” signs off the proud momma.

    The goodies

    Zayed Khan’s mom Zarine came with his wife Malaika and gifted gold coins.
    Anil Kapoor gifted the triplets gold lockets with inscriptions of Om and Allah.
    Rani Mukerji and mom came with silverware.
    Arjun and Mehr Rampal brought baby clothes from Baby Gap from LA.
    Priyanka Chopra and mom gave silver gifts of baby photo frames, bowls and eating sets.

'OSO' a 'box-office hit' in Berlin Film Fest

    The premiere of Hindi blockbuster "Om Shanti Om" was one of the most popular events of the 58th Berlin International Film Festival, which concludes here tonight with the awarding of the golden and silver bears for the best films in the competition section.

    Berlinale sources told reporters that in terms of ticket sales, "Om Shanti Om" featuring superstar Shah Rukh Khan in the leading role was the 'box-office hit' of the 11-day festival.

    No other films in the festival's 13 main sections had generated so much public interest as the premiere of the Farah Khan-directed film, they said.

    Tickets for the four screenings it had in the Berlinale Special Programme were sold out within minutes after their sales were opened on the internet and many film fans spent overnight at the ticket counters to be the first to snatch the most sought-after tickets of the festival.

    Some tickets were later offered for sales on the internet for prices exceeding ten to 12 times the original price.

    Shah Rukh drew larger crowds than Hollywood celebrities like pop diva Madonna, director Martin Scorsese, film stars Ben Kingsley and Penelope Cruz or the Rolling Stones band when he visited Berlin to attend the German premiere, participants and festival organisers said.

    Shah Rukh's Red Chillies Entertainment produced the movie for Indian film financing and distribution firm Eros Entertainment.

Farah delivers 2008’s big hit!

    After great expectation comes the big news. Bollywood director and choreographer Farah Khan, who delivered 2007’s biggest hit with Om Shanti Om, yesterday morning delivered triplets amidst family and friends at Jaslok Hospital.

    Farah and husband Shirish Kunder, a director himself, became proud parents when she delivered two girls and a boy around 9.15 am. Within minutes, news channels got wind of the delivery and Peddar Road was jammed with traffic as OB vans took up positions outside the hospital’s gates.

    The young mother was still under sedation when BT called to congratulate her. Husband Shirish was too delirious to step outside the delivery room and take the call. But Farah’s brother, the rumbustious Bollywood comedian and director Saajid Khan, engaged us in conversation. “We are mighty thrilled... can’t explain our happiness. I have become a mama,” he said proudly.
