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.

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.”

Saif bana Joker

After SRK and Akshay Kumar turn it down, Shirish Kunder signs the Chote Nawab for his film

Shirish Kunder has been trying for long to get his project Joker on track. The film was initially offered to Shah Rukh Khan and later, to Akshay Kumar. Both said no. It is reliably learnt that Kunder has now pencilled in Saif Ali Khan for the lead role.

The director and the actor are currently working on the shoot schedule as the project has been delayed extensively. Incidentally, Shirish had announced Joker after his directorial debut Jaan-E-Mann.

Opting out

Says a source, “Shirish has been trying hard to get a lead actor for Joker. First, he had an okay from Shah Rukh Khan — given his family relations with him because of wife Farah Khan. SRK opted out because of creative differences after a few script meetings.

After his exit, he approached Akshay Kumar, who featured in Jaan-E-Mann. Akki liked the action hero image and agreed to do it. But recently, when the director went to finalise the details, Akki told him he had no time.”

Continues the source,“With two actors walking out, Shirish was in a dilemma. He met Saif Ali Khan socially and asked if he could give him a narration. The actor agreed and the two met recently.

Like the other actors, Saif loved the story idea and has given his nod for it. Saif is currently in London and once he returns, the director will sign him for the film.”

Wait for it

Says Shirish, “I am in the midst of the pre-production of the film. I don’t want to reveal anything at this stage. There is a big company co-producing the film with me and we will make an announcement soon.”

When asked about Saif, Shirish says, “Wait and watch. That’s all I can say.”

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.
