November 9, 200717 yr A matter of Shah Rukh Khan's heartMUMBAI: Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan wants to make animation film for kids and it's something close to his heart. However, the mega star of Hindi cinema doesn't have any immediate plans of venturing into it. The idea must have occurred to him from his own experience as a father. "Mobile games are the best way to keep children quiet (while driving) in a car. If you have kids you would know." Flaunting his new look (six pack ab) and clad in jeans and open necked white shirt, the boyish looking Khan appeared to be in a light mood, joking with media persons shooting questions at him about his forthcoming Diwali release Om Shanti Om . "I am sure you guys are sick of seeing me everywhere these days. I am even wearing the same white coloured shirt that I wore for a previous event." Asked about his options on promoting his film, he retorted, "I am planning to write on journalists' forehead. That way, you would publicise my film wherever you go, even if it's not my event," he gleefully declared to reporters. Not to be sidelined by another film which is to be released on Diwali - Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Saawariyan , starring new comers who also happen to be star kids Ranbir and Sonam, while extending his best wishes to the cast and crew he added, "Diwali is all mine," indicating that his last year (Diwali)release Don was a huge hit. "The year has been an eventful one for me from KBC (game show) and Chak De India to OSM , (moving a step ahead with variations)," he declared. Reacting to a question he said, "People think I always over act with the exception in the role of Kabir Khan in Chak De India ." Shah Rukh was speaking at an event to announce Nokia's association with Om Shanti Om . Bollywood is the most popular downloads mobile content besides sports and fashion in India. Hence, Nokia has created a special OSO Crazy Mobisode', animated character of OM (played by Shah Rukh Khan) that can be downloaded exclusively on all Nokia GPRS enabled handsets. OSO Crazy Mobisodes are five different animated characters of OM in OSO. These include OM- the Cowboy; OM-the friend; OM – The Dacoit; OM –The Thinker: and OM – The Super star. These will be short video episodes dubbed in Shah Rukh Khan's voice himself.
November 9, 200717 yr Shah Rukh Khan dreams of animation roleHe's probably one of the world's most recognisable faces but Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan would love to star in an animated film."It is my dream to be a part of an animation film and I would love to play a character or even myself for that matter in it someday," said the 42-year-old actor at a promotional event late on Tuesday."I love animation and in fact at one point I was involved in doing an animated film but unfortunately it didn't work out."Khan, who has acted in about 63 films and is arguably the industry's most bankable actor and one of the world's most famous stars due to India's huge cinema-going population."I love animation and in fact at one point I was involved in doing an animated film but unfortunately it didn't work out."Unlike Hollywood that has attracted several leading stars like Angelina Jolie and Will Smith, the Indian animated film industry has only just started to rope in celebrities.Earlier this year, Disney collaborated with India's Yash Raj Films Studios -- known for its mushy Bollywood romances -- to produce a series of computer-animated films for Indian audiences.The first of the series, Roadside Romeo, that is set for release in 2008, will be voiced by Bollywood stars Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor.
