Shah Rukh Khan himself desperately wants the song to go down into the Guinness book as a record of sorts. Yet the hit number was originally to have a few more famous and known faces dancing and making their presence felt. Like Amitabh Bachchan for instance who if not for Abhishek’s impending marriage would surely have been a part of the entire song sequence along with son Abhishek Bachchan . In fact Farah who left no stone unturned to have the duo says, “While both Amitabh Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan have a special appearance in my film, they couldn’t make it in the Deewang i song. I wanted them to be part of the song, but when I shot the song, they were too busy with the Abhi-Ash marriage preparations.”

Aamir Khan too was conspicuous by his absence and Farah it seems had a long standing wish to have the three Khans – Shah Rukh, Salman and Aamir dancing together alongside each other for the first time on the 70mm screen.

Shah Rukh Khan wanted his Main Hoon Na co-star Amrita Rao to be a part of the special song too. But director Farah Khan, we learn, had bigger plans. She wanted to have a complete Main Hoon Na segment in Deewangi song. That is to say she had hoped to have Main Hoon Na’s leading cast Sushmita Sen , Amrita Rao and Zayed Khan along with SRK to be featured together in a separate part of the song. Amrita says, “I couldn’t shoot for the song as I was busy shooting for Athidhi in Austria. Farah would call me up every time and badly wanted Sushmita, Zayed, Shah Rukh and myself to do a Main Hoon Na sequence but I just could not get out of my schedule.” And Farah went ahead with only Zayed and Shah Rukh where they do their trademark ‘head rubs’ from Main Hoon Na .

Dilip Kumar and Saira Banu who were the only senior actors who could not make it for the song though Shah Rukh and Farah wished for it desperately. Shah Rukh who was initially tagged of having a strong Dilip Kumar hangover has always looked up to the senior Devdas as his idol.

From the yesteryear celebrities, King Khan also wanted his personal favourite Zeenat Aman to add grace to the song. Not to forget Zeenat’s popular costar – the style icon Feroz Khan . Plus his son Fardeen Khan ! But both father and son were out of town.

So Shah Rukh says that what you saw in Om Shanti Om was not big – at least not as ‘magnanimous’ as he and Farah had visualized it to be, though for the audiences this was as grand as it could get. The king feels that if he could manage to get all the ones they had planned for that could have been huge. So SRK says, “Now I feel I will have to make a sequel to Om Shanti Om and request all the celebrities who missed out from the original song to shoot a song with me in the sequel”.

We would eagerly wait for ‘ OSO 2’ , Shah Rukh!

Om Shanti Om is the most awaited Movie of 2007. First of all it is Farah Khan 2nd directed movie after Super Hit “Main Hoon Naa”. Secondly it is Shah Rukh Khan 2nd release this year after critically acclaimed and commercial Blockbuster “Chak De! India” and lastly it has 31 stars in the song “Deewangi Deewangi”.

So major question arises does Om Shanti Om lives up to the expectations? Was Main Hoon Naa a fluke? The answer is yes Om Shanti Om lives upto the expectation and we can easily that it even surpasses Main Hoon Naa in terms of entertainment or anything (Music, Performances, Dialogues, etc).

Story

OM SHANTI OM tells the story of Om [Shah Rukh Khan] and Shanti [Deepika Padukone]. Om is a junior artist in the 70s. Shanti is the reigning superstar. He is her biggest fan. He is in love with her. Om dreams of being a superstar, but an incident changes his life forever.

Om dies in a mishap, but is reborn into the present day. He attempts to discover the mystery of his demise…

Direction

Farah knows what her priorities are and most importantly, knows exactly what her target audience is. The execution of a number of sequences clearly shows Farah’s growth as a storyteller.

Music Vishal-Shekhar’s music is first-rate. The score is in sync with the content of the film and what accentuate the goings-on are the choreography and execution. Although every song is visually enticing, the 21-star track as also ‘Dard-E-Disco’ will have the masses going into a frenzy.

Technical Aspects

V. Manikanandan’s cinematography captures the gloss and grandeur to the minutest. The opulent sets [Sabu Cyril] deserve distinction marks. Dialogues [Mayur Puri] are witty and do raise a chuckle at several points. Background score [Sandeep Chowta] is effective.

Performances

With each and every film one thing is sure Shah Rukh Khan will be outstanding and in this film to he is outstanding as well. In this film Shah Rukh Khan shows His comic abilities and he is bang on target. It just goes to show his range and versatility as an actor that on one hand he is doing Chak De! India (Offbeat) and on other hand Om Shanti Om where he is playing to the gallery which came easily only to Shah Rukh Khan.

Deepika has all it takes to be a top star — the personality, the looks and yes, she’s supremely talented too. Standing in the same frame as Shah Rukh Khan and getting it right is no small achievement. She comes as a whiff of fresh air!

Arjun Rampal impresses in a neagtive role which suites his image. Shreyas Talpade compliments Shah Rukh Khan wonderfully. Kirron Kher in one word wonderful. Javed Sheikh is good and Bindu leaves a mark.

Conclusion

On the whole, OM SHANTI OM is Bollywood masala in its truest form and also, at its best.

He is the rocking superstar and king of the box-office, while she is the sizzling supermodel who’ll be soon seen in Farah Khan’s Om Shanti Om. Yes, we are talking about none other than the most awaited jodi of 2007, Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone. For the first time, you’ll see them together this Sunday, Aug 26 on Koffee with Karan! Choreographer/Director Farah Khan will also join the duo on the show.
For all you fans of SRK and Deepika, who just can’t wait to tune in to the show we have an exclusive excerpts of KJO’s conversation with the dimpled duo.

Excerpts from the interview:

Karan: SRK, you are doing ‘Om Shanti Om’, a film again with Farah?
SRK: I had even promised Farah once that if I would strip, it would be for her film!

Karan: So, cool you look… new hair do… muscles… 6 pack… I heard
SRK: 4
Farah: 4 have come… 2 to go…
SRK: I am still working on the last two…

Karan: What made you make this change?
SRK: My son feels I am fat…

Karan: He thinks you are fat?
SRK: He thinks I am fat… He beat up a girl… because, first she called me an asshole… beep beep… then she said I look very ugly on KBC… sorry Star… he didn’t react… he controlled himself… finally when she said, your father is fat… he kicked her… so I got angry with him… and he said, Papa, you know what, it is not her fault…its you… why are you fat? because she said, ugly, I didn’t mind… you looked handsome on KBC… you are not an asshole I know…. You are a cool guy but you are fat Papa.

It is no secret that Karan has been designing clothes for his good friend Shah Rukh Khan for a long time now. He chose Shah Rukh’s outfits in Farah Khan’s flick Main Hoon Na and now he has turned SRK’s dress designer for Farah’s latest film Om Shanti Om .

Farah says she has full confidence in Karan’s fashion sense. And she roped him for OSO because the film has SRK in two different looks.

In the first half of the film, SRK plays a struggling actor in 1970s. In these portions he will be seen wearing bell-bottoms and printed shirts with long collars.

In the second half of the film, SRK plays an actor in contemporary times. His look for these portions will be very stylish and chic.

Karan Johar humbly confesses that he relied a great deal on his assistant Shiraz to select SRK’s outfits in the film. Shiraz had his task cut out to get the right fabric for the dresses. Karan did the final selection and decided on the colours, cuts and fittings.

Alongside Karan, Farah Khan was there to constantly give her inputs as to what kind of dresses she wanted SRK to wear in the film.

Because Farah, Karan and SRK are close friends, the work turned out to be fun together for them.

Shahrukh Khan’s new film Om Shanti Om is being hyped on all the Bollywood airways recently,
anyone can’t find an exact release date. No matter! It’s never too early to start poking fun!

It is rumored that the movie will have the following actors and actresses making guest appearances as themselves: Sanjay Dutt, Salman Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Rani Mukherji, Hrithik Roshan, Suniel Shetty, Govinda, Priety Zinta, Karisma Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, Kajol, Shilpa Shetty, Vidya Balan, Dharmendra, Tabu, Rekha, Juhi Chawla, Karan Johar, Rishi Kapoor, and possibly Shakira Mebarak (stage name Shakira. OMG, YES YES YES!). Noticably, this list is missing the Bachchans. Mm, could this perhaps mean drama?
