Anthony D’souza the director of the film said, “Blue is about betrayal and a treasure-hunt. I had always been fascinated by water and wanted to make a film that would be one of its kind. And shooting in the ocean was a unique and exhilarating experience in itself. What better than an action adventure with real sharks, sting-rays and eels to the menacing great whites?”

SRK gets IPL gyan

Shah Rukh Khan’s Knight Riders may have failed to create magic, yet again, but King Khan takes it all in his stride.

In fact, he cites his team’s ouster from IPL 2 as a life lesson. He has no plans of giving gyaan like a guru; nevertheless, he did a good job when he pep-talked the audience at the Delhi chapter of the Young Presidents’ Organisation here on Thursday.

Talking about the event, a source present at the function says, “YPO has members in almost 85 countries. Every year, they invite people from different walks of life to interact with the members. This year, it was Shah Rukh, since he’s been very successful in his life and the members were all ears when he spoke on what success meant to him.”

Talking on his favourite subject – success – SRK says, “Success is never final, just like failure is never fatal. Courage is doing what you’re afraid to do. There can be no courage unless you’re scared. Fear failure so much that you get the courage to succeed. Talking about how I became successful is a waste. Success comes by chance. My first few films failed. My IPL team failed in the first and second seasons. But I’m not giving up – I want to win next year.”

When we spoke to SRK after the event, he sounded happy about the improvement in his health. “I’m much better,” he said, adding, “I’ll soon leave for the USA to shoot for My Name Is Khan. It’s a month-and-a-half long schedule.”

A source close to SRK reveals, “He felt dejected when his team wasn’t playing well initially. However, he’s reconciled to it now but is not going to South Africa for the finals. In fact, he returned after leaving Gauri’s brother there to take care of the team.” Well, the Badshah knows best!

Where is SRK

Buzz is that the actor will be going to Malaysia to be a part of Vaibhavi Merchant’s semi-autobiographical musical The Merchants of Bollywood.

Vaibhavi Merchant says she would love to have King Khan grace the event.

We think SRK would love to go. It would take his mind off IPL where his team is only scraping the bottom. In addition to this reason, Khan was also made Datuk, a traditional Malaysian knighthood, in Malaysia.

Shah Rukh's angels back from South Africa

The six cheerleaders for Kolkata Knight Riders team in IPL are on cloud nine even though they have not had the opportunity to cheer for their team at the ongoing tournament in South Africa.

Selected through NDTV Imagine’s show “Knight and Angels”, produced by SRK’s TV production house Red Chillies Idiot Box, the girls are just back from an all expenses paid 10-day trip to South Arica.

For the cheerleaders - Ananya Bera, Sanna Chirawawala, Sunanda Hiroo, Rupali Kantharia, Ritika Chibber and Samyukta Surendar – it was an experience of a life time.
They got an opportunity to perform during the cricket carnival road show and drove around Cape Town in an open bus with the players and owners of Kolkata Knight Riders. They cheered to the team's theme song, “Korbo Lorbo Jitbo Re”.

The girls also watched three matches from the VIP box along with SRK and his family. They accompanied the team to a dinner party and interacted with most of the KKR players.

The went sightseeing and did some shopping in South Africa as well.
Says Ritika, "We were so excited to get an opportunity to go to South Africa. There were the players and there was Mr SRK."

"We were put up in apartments just opposite the hotel where Shah Rukh stayed," adds Sunanda, who has shifted base to Mumbai from Kolkata to seek a career in entertainment.

Adds Ananya, who is a Class 12 student, "This trip made us forget all the despair we had. Shah Rukh has told us that we will be the cheerleaders for KKR when the IPL will be held next year in India.”

Shilpa Shetty to produce films

Shilpa Shetty will soon begin a big budget action-comedy to be made by her production house S2 Global Productions with some top-of-the-line international technicians as part of her crew. "It's going to be a two-heroine project. While Shilpa will be playing one part, she is in the process of signing on another big Bollywood heroine for it," confirms her publicist Dale Bhagwagar.

After PHIR MILENGE, DUS, APNE and METRO, the actress has become extremely choosy. While we witnessed a metamorphosis in Brand Shilpa from actress to diva since 'Big Brother' happened to her, she has been offered astronomical amounts for certain film projects abroad as well as in Bollywood. "It's only natural to be offered unheard of amounts after the kind of international fame she has received," says Bhagwagar and adds, "Shilpa is choosing only those films which will give her complete creative satisfaction."

Two of Shilpa's forthcoming movies will witness her in completely different roles. Sunny Deol's next directorial venture THE MAN (co-directed by Neeraj Pathak) will see her playing a role very close to her real life experience last year. Her character portrays the meteoric rise of a simple but dedicated girl to instant global stardom. Her next project would be filmmaker Uru Patel's international flick HANUMAN, featuring her in the role of Goddess Sita, with Hollywood actor Keanu Reeves being tipped to play Lord Ram.
