Lara and Bipasha added to Shah Rukh’s Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi

Oct 5, 2008

Shah Rukh Khan, Yash Copra productions’ lucky mascot for years, has come to the rescue of the production house again with its next film Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. The banner, which was staggering of late under a series of flops, got back on its feet with SRK’s Chak De! India last year. It is now determined to extend this run of luck with King Khan and 19-year-old Bangalore model Anushka Sharma in RNBDJ.
News is that SRK, who has been maintaining a low profile of late, is glad to be back with buddy Aditya Chopra who is directing this film. And the highlight of the film is a song where SRK serenades five top heroines of Bollywood. These include the effervescent Kajol (with whom SRK always shares good vibes on screen), the vivacious Preity Zinta, the pretty Rani Mukherjee, and hot babes Bipasha Basu and Lara Dutta.

A source revealed, “It’s an old fashioned number, a medley of old songs, actually, which comes across as being simple and beautiful.” Shah Rukh dances and woos the five actresses in turn, they are all in the song — but not together, and it was shot on Sunday. The number was given life to by Bollywood’s top choreographer Shiamak Davar, another old and trusted friend of Adi’s, their association going back to such hit films as Dil To Pagal Hai in 1997. Bollywood trade pundits hint that RNBDJ appears already to be a blockbuster, much like Adi’s first film Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge which created history.
There’s another bit of info on this film that the production house is keeping secret. SRK, apparently, has two avataars in it: one, matured, bespectacled and moustached; the second, youngish and urbane, with SRK sporting spiky hair! He’s supposed, also, to be a dancer in the film.
