Director Farah Khan is so friendly with Shah Rukh Khan that she has scrapped her movie ‘Happy New Year’ starring SRK, Priyanka Chopra and Amitabh Bachchan, in favor of SRK and Gauri Khan’s joint production ‘Om Shanti Om’. No sooner Farah finished her ‘Main Hoon Na’ starring Shah Rukh Khan and Sushmita Sen (already released ), than she not only wrote the script but also accepted to direct SRK starrer ‘Om Shanti Om’. Industry circles say that ‘Om Shanti Om’ is based on the Hollywood movie titled ‘Chances Are’ made as early as in 1989. Farah has a special interest in ‘Om Shanti Om’. That’s why she has assigned an item number to Colombian Latin pop singer -cum-song writer Shakira. But in view of its theme, the story of ‘Om Shanti Om’ seems to based on the Hindu philosophy of reincarnation.

According to the movie’s story, Shah Rukh plays an inspiring artist of 70’s named Om. No sooner Om dies then he is reborn. This is a coincidence that the reborn child is also named Om. Om is happy to find his previous birth’s lady love Shanti, played by Deepika Padukone. How Farah succeeded in roping in Shakira to give an item dance number in ‘Om Shanti Om’? It is believed that Shakira wants her next video album to be directed by Farah Khan only. Shakira says that Farah’s dancing skill has keenly influenced her. Hence, Shakira agreed to give item number. Another highpoint of the movie is that A.R. Rahman will provide music to it.
