Two of Bollywood’s biggest stars, Shah Rukh Khan and his son Aryan Khan, are teaming up and getting back into business with Netflix.
Netflix announced today, November 19, that the father-son duo would executive produce an untitled “Bollywood series” about an outsider breaking into the Hindi film industry. The show will be created and directed by Aryan Khan in what will be his directorial debut, while Srk’s company, Red Chillies Entertainment, will executive produce the series.
According to Netflix, Khan’s untitled series is about “a charming, ambitious outsider [who] navigates the dazzling yet uncertain world of Bollywood.” Netflix adds that the series “blends self-aware humor with a high-stakes narrative — and promises a host of wicked cameos, blockbuster thrills and an unforgettable ride into the world of Indian cinema.”
The series will premiere on Netflix in 2025. No cast was announced for the project.

However, did you know there was a time when Srk’s car was taken away as he couldn’t pay its Emi? Those were Shah Rukh’s initial days in the Hindi film industry.
One of his closest co-stars and a business friend, actor Juhi Chawla, made this revelation. She had seen Srk very closely and had known him since the day he didn’t have his house when he used to eat food on the film unit’s set.

How does one even begin to define the 2000s in Hindi cinema? The decade that started with “Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai!” and ended with “3 Idiots?” The decade that gave us Bipasha Basu and Rakhi Sawant and took away Madhuri Dixit and Aishwarya Rai? The decade of “Tere Bina” but also of “No Entry?” Cinema contains multitudes, but the aughts in Bollywood were a multiverse, and nowhere is that clearer than in the best musical numbers of the decade.
Curating this list was not easy — just ask the editors who waited patiently for a draft that I was not able to produce because I was busy swapping out “Kal Ho Naa Ho” songs until the last possible second. Some basic guidelines: This is a list of musical numbers, Not songs — the song obviously matters,...

Juhi Chawla and Shah Rukh Khan, long-time collaborators in the film industry, have also extended their partnership into the world of sports by co-owning the Indian Premier League (Ipl) team, Kolkata Knight Riders (Kkr). At a recent event organized by the Gujarat Chamber of Commerce & Industry, Juhi reminisced about the early days of managing the cricket franchise, revealing some intriguing behind-the-scenes details.
Juhi shared that she initially had reservations about the black and gold color scheme for Kkr’s uniform, which was suggested by Shah Rukh. She explained her apprehension, saying, “We didn’t know anything about running a cricket franchise, and I remember going to Shah Rukh’s home for meetings, where literally from putting the jingle together, to thinking of the uniform they’ll have, everything was done in house. I still remember, he made it black and gold, Shah Rukh, and I was not happy with it.

Even as Rakesh Roshan revealed his plans of reviving the Krrish franchise and releasing the fourth instalment in Christmas 2018, social media has been abuzz with the filmmaker's clash with a Shah Rukh Khan film, yet again. Roshan has already announced his intention of releasing Krrish 4 against Aanand L Rai's Srk starrer.

For almost 24 years, Shah Rukh Khan has fascinated audiences on the big and small screens with his magnetic charm and undeniable charisma. We at Bollyspice wanted to make his 46th birthday extra special with a full-fledged homage to Bollywood’s favourite romantic hero.
Born November 2, 1965 in New Delhi, who knew that he had such great potential ahead of him?
While I was just entering the world in 1988, Shahrukh Khan’s career was also taking its fledgling steps. He began on TV with the serial Fauji, and from there, his life took quite a turn. For the better.
He made a few small-scale films and played supporting characters for a short while. He did receive a good amount of limelight in his small roles, such as his movie Deewana in 1992, but it he didn’t strike big until 1993 with Yash Chopra’s Darr, where he stole all the accolades from Sunny Deol,...

Today marks a very special Indian Independence day. Why? Well, it is the first Independence anniversary since the Indian cricket team became world champions. However, if one thinks that is the only thing the sub-continent is famous for, then one would be very mistaken. Indian cinema is celebrated worldwide and what better way to acknowledge the day than to take a look at the patriotic songs that the filmi world has given us through the years.

Actress Juhi Chawla will be seen in a different avatar as she lends her voice to the character of ‘Sita’ in an upcoming animated version of ‘Ramayana’, reports said.
The film is directed by Ketan Mehta.
Juhi Chawla, who turns 43 on Saturday (Nov 13), will surely have to offer something new to her fans with this voice-over.
She gained massive popularity in B-town with her debut film Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, opposite Aamir Khan, in 1988. Since then, she continued to entertain her fans in films like Darr, Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke, Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani and Ishq.
