Salman Film Breaks SRK's Overseas Record
Salman Khan-starrer "Bodyguard" is on a record-breaking spree. After a stupendous opening in the domestic market, the film has surpassed the record of Shah Rukh Khan-starrer "My Name Is Khan" by earning 194,000 pounds on the first day of screening in Britain.
"My Name is Khan" had collected 191,000 pounds on the opening day in Britain.
The film is also on its way to becoming the highest grosser in the Middle East. It has collected $1.6 million in the first two days, just a little behind the previous highest grosser "Dabangg" which collected $1.7 million.
"Reliance Entertainment's overseas team is delighted to have delivered one of the biggest overseas hits of the year. 'Bodyguard' is poised to be a record-breaking success for Salman Khan in the international markets," Sanjeev Lamba, CEO Reliance Entertainment said in a statement.
The film, which also stars Kareena Kapoor in the lead, has earned $3.8 million in the US and is expected to overhaul the $5 million collections of "Dabangg".

I don't think Anyone can Compete with Me: SRK

He isn't the Bollywood Badshah for nothing! Superstar Shah Rukh Khan not just believes he is the best, he is confident that no one can compete with him because others "don't run the same race" as him.
The 45-year-old charmer talked uninhibited about his success story, and narrated how he gives 'thorns to competition' at the launch of an eponymous book on marketing, co-authored by management guru and film producer Arindam Chaudhuri and his wife, Rajita.
SRK shared his experience with his first producer, who was keen to know why the "thin and dark" young man with "hair like a bear", wanted to join filmdom.
"I told him - 'I want to make people smile because it makes me happy.' He said - 'This is very ideological. Genuinely, tell me why do you want to be a movie star?'
"I told him my ideology, which is my ideology even now... I told him that my parents have died. So I want to make movies so damn bloody big... that my parents somewhere sit down on a star and from there also can look at their son and say 'I can see his movies from here better than I can see the Wall of China or anything. We see his movies covering the face of this earth'," added Shah Rukh, explaining the importance of setting the right targets in life.
"That is my target. It may seem a bit too much of self-importance, but I don't think anyone can compete with me because they don't have a target like that... I have a genuine emotional target. So you've got to know your target," he added to a thunderous applause.
Shah Rukh, or King Khan as he is lovingly called, may have many rivals in the film industry but he says he deals with competition a little differently.
"I hit my competition hard by deciding not to play the game. I choose to change the game and I choose to select films that are so different from what the others do so that they don't remain my competition because they don't run the same race.
"Winning is not about trying to undermine someone's success... what you need to do is to go on the parallel road! You decide that you go and change the game. In my life, I have always decided to change the game....
"I am making the biggest film this country has ever made ('RA.One') and I will be proud even if it flops and does not succeed because I want to change the game I play. I do not want to be in the same playing field as others," said the actor, who is said to have invested over Rs.150 crore in the making of the superhero film.
Shah Rukh has been in Bollywood since he made his debut in 1992 with "Deewana" and year after year he has been enthralling viewers with entertainers like "Baazigar", "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge", "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai", "Devdas", "Swades", "Chak De! India" and "My Name Is Khan", and says: "I want to die giving the last shot of my film."
"I am a big believer of selling dreams. Everything comes at a price... life comes at a price tag of death itself. Except for the emotions that parents and children share, everything is for sale... I don't come for free either. You can make me do an item number in films, dance at a wedding, do street theatre as long as it makes people smile. I am a proud seller of dreams... and as long as it makes people smile, I will do it," he said.

Can’t make peace between warring Khans: Preity
Preity Zinta, a good friend of both Salman and Shah Rukh, says it is beyond her to bring about a truce between the two warring Khans.
But interestingly, Salman is going to appear on Preity’s upcoming chat-show, which is being produced by SRK`s Red Chillies Entertainment.
When asked if she tried to engineer a patch-up between the two superstars, Preity said, "Please...somebody help me escape this question!"
Salman and Preity have worked together in films like `Har Dil Jo Pyaar Karega` (2000), `Chori Chori Chupke Chupke` (2001), `Jaaneman` (2006). Most of them bombed at the Box Office.
Shah Rukh and Preity were seen together in `Dil Se` (1998), `Kal Ho Na Ho` (2003), `Veer Zaara` (2004) and `Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna` (2006). All these were hits.
"Each one of us has his or her own equation in the industry. This is really beyond me...or anybody else. Let`s wait and watch," Preity said.
The bubbly actress will have both Salman and Shah Rukh -- thought separately -- on her chat show `Up, Close And Personal With PZ` that will be aired from September 3 on UTV Stars.

Tinsel Town hottie Deepika Padukone has taken her relationship with her “good friend” Siddharth Mallya a step ahead. The dimpled beauty, who has been spotted with the business tycoon Vijay Mallay’s handsome son in almost every social gathering was seen kissing her alleged beau in full public view.
The duo, which was cheering for their IPL team Royal Challengers Bangalore celebrated their team’s win by hugging each other tight and kissing. RCB won against Shah Rukh Khan’s Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens on Friday.
And surprisingly, the one standing next to them while they were cozying up was senior Mallya.
Well, we do understand what your equation with Sid is. It’s high time you declare your relationship verbally Dips.

Shahrukh Khan banking heavily on Gautam Gambhir in IPL
"It's great to be in Chennai," announced Shah Rukh Khan, disembarking from his car in style. Facing a barrage of TV microphones and flashbulbs, the actor said, "I'm excited to be here."
Later in the evening, in a glitzy event that kickstarted the Indian Premier League, the baadshah of Bollywood decided to inject local flavour to the proceedings... and shook a leg to the superhit Naka Muka... number, apart from a couple of fast-paced Tamil kuthu songs and Bollywood numbers.
His team might not have had successful seasons in the past but that's not deterring him from supporting the bunch of cricketers that he's picked. So, what does he reckon about Team Kolkata Knight Riders chances this time around in Indian Premier League (IPL)? "They're a bunch of smart and good cricketers. The team is looking great and I hope they perform well." It's evident that the actor-team owner is banking heavily on the new captain of the team, Gautham Gambhir, to deliver the goods. "Gauti is a good man with a good head. I'm sure he'll do well."
So, has he learnt any Bengali now that he's been with Team Kolkata for the past few years? "Oh no, I haven't. I just know a few words."
