SRK's steps cost 1.5 cr

A mid all the cricket action in South Africa, IPL team owner Shah Rukh Khan popped back to India last night to cast his vote and to perform at a wedding.

Apparently , SRK has been paid a whopping sum — Rs 1 crore to Rs 1.5 crore, industry experts estimate — to perform at the wedding of Nikhil Gowani, nephew of bigleague Mumbai builder Kanti Gowani of the Kamla Group.

Rani Mukerji, Bipasha Basu, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Jaaved Jaffrey and Pritam will also perform at the three-day extravaganza, says our source.

The whole show is being organised by GS Entertainment and choreographed by Shiamak Davar.

The wedding has two major ceremonies — the sangeet today and wedding itself on May 2. SRK, Rani and Emraan are to perform tonight. Bipasha will perform with Neha Dhupia, Celina Jaitley, Neil and Jaaved on the wedding day. “SRK is supposed to dance to a medley of his songs from Billu, Rab Ne Baba Di Jodi, Veer Zara, Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge, Kabhie Khushi Kabhi Gham and Kal Ho Na Ho,” says the source from Shiamak’s dance troupe. “It’s a 10minute performance and he will be joined by Rani in the last sequence.” The show venue is Kamla City, Lower Parel. The invite calls it ‘King Khan night’. However, there is just a possibility that he may be MC for the evening.

SRK had some years ago performed at the wedding of Aditya Mittal, the son of billionaire LN Mittal. He has been quite frank that he acts for love and performs for money .

Considering that his team has been losing, could he be needing the cash?

Three Idiots may clash with My Name is Khan

Now its official that Aamir and Shah Rukh, the two reigning Khans of Bollywood, have a love-hate relationship.

The two love to take digs at each other publicly and then blame the media and the fans for blowing their spats out of proportion, and yet they are also capable of coming together and sharing a stage when it comes to a serious issue like the producers’ strike.

The latest in their turbulent friendship is that Aamir Khan reportedly wants his next film 3 Idiots to clash with the SRK starrer My Name is Khan.

According to sources, Rajkumar Hirani, the director of 3 Idiots, is not keen to take on the intimidating trio of SRK, Kajol and Karan Johar, especially since this is the long awaited on-screen reunion of SRK and Kajol, easily one of Bollywood’s best loved couples.

However, Aamir is determined, and sources even say that he may have deliberately taken a holiday with his kids in order to delay the film.
