Shahrukh..


as far as i know, shahrukhs role is quite small in this film.as in bhootnath.more of a extended special appearance.

It was supposed to be that way as this film is about billu barber (Irfan Khan). But as per some reports, Shahrukh was not happy with this final outcome and asked Priyadarshan to include some more scenes on him, and he also included 3 songs of him with Kareena, Deepika and Bipasha. Alas, he is the producer so obviously he is having all the shots.

I cant wait to see it, not for anything else but for SRk, but people who want to see him, this is not the movie i suppose, its Irfan's film. how ever what i dont understand is why people are so worried about whose copied from whom, and in the year of the lord 19xx something happened?! :P

In fact it is the other way around. SRK actually made Priyan cut some (i think it was 3) of his scenes as he thought the was in the movie too much.
The rest of the songs etc were always meant to be in this movie.

And I'm glad they were there, they created a great contrast between the oridinary and the extraordinaryness, which helped the over all effect and feeling the film creates.

From the quote in the article below, the movie sounds like a love triangle between the husband, the wife, and her fantasies of a romance with SRK. Ouch! That will be a too familiar situation with any SRK fan and their loved ones. If that is the case, SRK will play a very active role- in the wife’s fantasies. It will be interesting to see how they resolve things for a “Bollywood ending”.

“The promos of the desi version of Pritam's hit number, ''Khudaya Khair'', rendered by Soham, has Lara fantacising about Shah Rukh Khan, who plays a superstar called Sahir Khan, much to the chagrin of her husband Billu (Irrfan), and it gives a nice twist to the film. In fact it makes it appear as if it is a triangle between Irrfan, Lara and SRK.”

That is hardly what the film is about. It is a Krishna Sudama type friendship long forgotten tale. And SRK as a filmstar is shooting a film in Billu's village.
