Shahrukh Khan not to follow Salman Khan & Aamir Khan’s footsteps

King Khan has turned down an offer to play a cop because he didn’t want to be seen as trying to ape his contemporaries

Shahrukh Khan is Bollywood’s resident lover boy and he is back to what he does best, with Yash Chopra’s forthcoming film. It came as a surprise when we heard that he is considering playing a cop in a Gautham Menon film, a remake of Vettiyadu Villayadu. Everyone in B-town was wondering if SRK will pull off the cop act; especially because he had recently essayed a negative character in Farhan Akhtar’s Don 2. Comparisons with Salman Khan and Aamir Khan had already begun when we heard that he is not doing Menon’s film after the entire hullabaloo.
Latest news is that the Baadshah has green-lighted AR Murugadoss’s remake of Ramana. We are wondering how the Ghajini director managed to get SRK to play a social activist, which is totally outside his comfort zone. There were talks that Murugadoss had approached Aamir to play the lead, but somehow things didn’t work out. The film will be produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who has been desperately looking for a hit since Guzaarish. Who knows, King Khan might change the director’s fortunes.
Shahrukh’s last outing where he didn’t play a lover boy was in Shimit Amin’s Chak De! India where he was highly appreciated. Wethinks it will be great to see him play an average bloke, not larger than life. Would you like watching SRK as a social activist and taking on the system?

PITBULL GOES “BACK IN TIME” WITH THEME SONG TO “MEN IN BLACK™ 3”

The theme song to the highly anticipated action adventure comedy Men in Black™ 3, titled “Back In Time,” has been written and recorded by RCA Records/Polo Grounds Music/Mr. 305 recording artist Pitbull, it was announced today by Lia Vollack, President of Worldwide Music for Sony Pictures.  The song will be available as a digital single and released to radio on March 26.  Men in Black 3 will be released in 3D in theaters nationwide on May 25, 2012. 
“Back In Time” was written for the film by Armando C. Perez (Pitbull), Marc Kinchen, Adrian Trejo and Urales Vargas and features a sample of the 1950s hit “Love is Strange,” written by Sylvia Robinson, Ellas McDaniel and Mickey Baker, which went to #1 for the R&B duo Mickey & Sylvia.   
“It's an incredible honor to be a part of such an amazing franchise as Men in Black and I have so much respect for Will Smith, especially with our similar musical backgrounds,” says Pitbull. “Wanting to keep the music fun yet modern, we used the slogan of the movie and flipped it back into the song that ‘in order to understand the future, you have to go back in time.’”  
Barry Sonnenfeld, the director of the film, added, “My 19-year-old daughter turned me on to Pitbull. I'm thrilled that he wrote such a great song for our movie that totally gets it.”                                                                             
In Men in Black 3, Agents J (Will Smith) and K (Tommy Lee Jones) are back... in time. J has seen some inexplicable things in his 15 years with the Men in Black, but nothing, not even aliens, perplexes him as much as his wry, reticent partner. But when K’s life and the fate of the planet are put at stake, Agent J will have to travel back in time to put things right. J discovers that there are secrets to the universe that K never told him -- secrets that will reveal themselves as he teams up with the young Agent K (Josh Brolin) to save his partner, the agency, and the future of humankind. Barry Sonnenfeld directs the film. The film’s screenplay is written by Etan Cohen, based on the Malibu Comic by Lowell Cunningham.  Walter F. Parkes and Laurie MacDonald produce, and Steven Spielberg and G. Mac Brown are the executive producers.
