The Beauty & the Geek

Friday is going to be a buddy love matinee. While Johnny A and Junior B will share the steam room, Shah Rukh and Lady Love Anushka are going to provide all that extra steam. Before you leave your seats and make a dash for that popcorn and soda, sit for a sec and you’ll be an audience to Aditya Chopra’s theatrical promo of Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. The trailor is being released with Dostana on November 14. Now that Haule Haule has kicked in not so haule haule, let’s see what this promo does – buzz is that Khan plays a much elder hubby to Anushka who is dying to be a part of a dance show, incidentally called ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ but can’t with him. So, the babu looking Khan goes from geek to Greek God and his girl falls in love with this ‘new guy’. Also, busy bee tells us that Big B has a cameo and King Khan will sing! Get set to be teased!

Order, order

They came, they shot and we didn’t even get a peek. Ranu Mukerji and Shahid Kapur and the entire cast and crew of Anurag Singh’s directorial debut left us jumping around the virtual fortress they had created while they shot in the region for almost two months! Anyways, media reports filled the pages with photos and title – Hrrippa. However, Yash Raj Films have nodded their head in disagreement and said that “the film starring Shahid Kapoor and Rani Mukerji in the lead which is under production since July 2008, has been plagued with incorrect news reports from the outset. Yash Raj Films would like to clarify that the name of the film has not yet been finalized and is slated as per plan for release in 2009. All reports about the involvement of actors other than as mentioned above are baseless and untrue.” Ouch!
