Loading ...As it is Aditya Chopra and Shahrukh Khan coming together after a gap of 8 long years for ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ is enough to arouse interest and to add icing to the cake is the fact that SRK’s heroine is none other than the sweet and perfectly poised Sonam Kapoor.
The film will have SRK play a 40 plus man who falls in love with a sweet 16 Punjabi girl. Aditya wanted a perfect Punjabi Kudi for the role, fluent in Punjabi as well as tall, fair and of course one who could exude the charm of a 16 year old girl. He auditioned many before zeroing in on Sonam. On the other hand, SRK happened instantly with he being the first choice for Aditya and the former giving his nod before even reading the script.
Must say, Sonam has had good luck charms on her side in this world of glamour industry. She started with SLB in ‘Saawariya’, then Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s ‘Dilli 6’ opposite Abhishek happened and if this works out perfectly, the next feather to her cap will be Aditya Chopra’s ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ opposite King Khan. What more could a newcomer ask for?
The moment has arrived for Aditya Chopra and Rani Mukherji. The Yash Raj scion, who was staying at a suburban five-star hotel for a long time due to differences with his parents is back in his parent’s home but on one condition that they don’t interfere in his personal life read Rani Mukerji. The entire problem started with Yash and Pamela Chopra’s disapproval for Rani as they didn’t want their son to break-up with his wife Payal but the DDLJ director didn’t gave in to their demands… and still dating the queen bee. He apparently wanted Payal to move out of the house before he returned home. Though Pam still does not like Rani much, but has had to bend because she could not stay away from her son. But what about poor Payal? She gets a settlement, worth more than Rs 20 crore we hear, besides a plush spacious in Juhu, close to Sanjana Kapoor’s Prithvi theatre. With everything else falling in place, Adi is finally filing for a divorce. His married life of five-odd years is headed nowhere, they have told the family court in Bandra. The mandatory six-month cooling-off period required after filing a mutual consent divorce petition will get over this May for the producer. It took three joint meetings with their lawyer for the two to set their divorce process in motion. Their lawyer advised them and they agreed not to mention the terms of settlement in the court documents, opting instead for an out-of-court arrangement.
SRK has decided to take one step ahead as a producer. This time around the actor-producer has decided to revise the terms and conditions in his deliberations with Yash Raj Films. Earlier, SRK used to quote his remuneration as any other actor would do after signing a film for the production house. But after the grand success of Chak De India, SRK has approached Aditya Chopra with an idea to co-produce Adi’s third directorial venture Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, wherein he wouldn’t charge anything as an actor. The film will also see SRK cast opposite a new girl.
We’ve heard that Aditya Chopra, who was staying at a suburban five-star hotel for almost a year due to differences with his parents, has now had a reconciliation of sorts with his parents. In the sense that he is back with them, but on the condition that they don’t interfere in his personal life - which includes Rani Mukherji. The problem had started because both Yash and Pamela Chopra did not approve of his break-up with his wife Payal and his relationship with Rani Mukerji. But now Aditya, according to our well-placed source in the industry, Aditya is back home… and still dating Rani Mukerji. Our source says, “Adi is back because his mother was very keen to have her son back home. She does not like Rani much, but has had to bend because she could not stay away from her son.” Yash too missed Aditya a lot. So they decided to relent and called their son back home. “A family reunion has happened and now things are better, though still not fully fine,” says our source. Yash and Pamela are still keen that Aditya puts a full stop to his love affair with Rani, but Aditya is in no mood to listen. “In fact, he categorically told his parents that he would shift only if they did not interfere in his personal life.”And what is happening to Payal? A settlement, upwards of some Rs 20 crore was made, besides a plush spacious in Juhu, close to Sanjana Kapoor’s Prithvi theatre. Yash and Pamela are still in touch with Payal, but Adi has all eyes for Rani only.
