Anti-smoking lobby annoyed by SRK

Chain smoker Shahrukh Khan can't keep away from the cigs, even when he's at IPL. The smoking act has irked the anti-smoking lobby who have already banned footage of smoking celebrities on television.

NCAS [South African Council Against Smoking] informed their counterpart, The National Organisation for Tobacco Eradication (NOTE), "We have sent the details to Supersport, who are the official broadcasters of the IPL, and the NCAS is in the process of soliciting an agreement that they will not show anyone smoking."

The NCAS are to make a No Smoking announcement throughout the match, and SRK has been informed that if he is caught smoking again, he will be shown out of the stadium.

SRK may replace Aamir in Farhan-Ritesh venture

They say that two swords can’t lie in the same cover and so is true with two Bollywood biggies Aamir Khan and Farhan Akhtar who seemed to have fallen out with each other from their next venture together. Now, Shah Rukh Khan will apparently replace Aamir Khan in this next Farhan Akhtar-Ritesh Sidhwani venture.

Inside sources say that Ritesh approached Aamir with a script on the sets of ‘3 Idiots’ but they had such a major disagreement over payment and percentages that Ritesh left the sets in a huff. Aamir demanded an exhorbitant amount for the movie together with a hefty share of the percentage.

Ritesh confirmed that he had talks with Aamir which failed. He also confirmed that they were looking for another actor, but if it was SRK or someone else would be revealed in good time. Aamir on the other hand said that the money was not the issue. It was the script which he didn’t like.

It may be mentioned here that Aamir, Farhan and Ritesh have given a smash hit with ‘Dil Chahta Hai’, but the viewers won’t get to see the trio re-create their magic, or so it seems.
