The 27-year-old actress, who has teamed up with Shah Rukh after 'Billu' and her debut film 'Om Shanti Om', has also posted a funny behind the scenes video titled 'Expressing Love on the Last Day'.

Directed by Rohit Shetty, the film is about a man's journey from Mumbai to Rameshwaram and what happens along the way.

Shah Rukh Khan's surprise visit to Sanjay Leela Bhansali

Shah Rukh Khan gave Sanjay Leela Bhansali a pleasant suprise when he landed up on the sets of 'Ram Leela'. The Bollywood superstar wasapparently there to discuss the dates of their common heroine, Deepika Padukone. SRK couldn't help but admire the ostentatious sets put up by his 'Devdas' maker. His quick-wit at hand, the actor apparently told SLB that he has made a fabulous set. And he also asked him if he was trying to outdo the iconic sheesh mahal set ofDevdas that had stood for years on end at the same studio in Mumbai. 

Sanjay loved the compliment, but he also warned SRK not to talk about his Ram Leela set. Apparently, everything around it is kept hush-hush. In fact, those who want to get an aerial view of the edifice from outside cannot do so because it remains covered when they're not shooting.

'Baazigar' sequel not without SRK: Ratan Jain

Producer Ratan Jain currently has no plans for "Baazigar" sequel, but says he may do it after couple of years, but not without Shah Rukh Khan.

"Yes, I am contemplating with the idea of the sequel to 'Baazigar', but not right now. I am busy with my other projects. May be three to four years down the line, I will make a sequel to 'Baazigar'," Jain, whose brother Ganesh Jain had produced the crime thriller, told IANS.

"However, I will not make the sequel without Shah Rulh. So let's see how things fall in place. It's too early to comment on anything at this point of time," he added.

"Baazigar", the 1993 blockbuster, was Shah Rukh's first blockbuster. Directed by Abbas-Mustan, the film introduced Shah Rukh and Kajol's pair on the screen as well as introduced Shilpa Shettyin filmdom.

Meanwhile, Jain is set to roll out the sequel to "Dhadkan" with a fresh star cast. The 2000 hit love triangle had Suniel Shetty, Akshay Kumar and Shilpa Shetty.

"The film is in its scripting stage. It will be a fresh film and not a continuation. We won't repeat the same star cast. It will have a new star cast," said Jain.

Shah Rukh's 'Shower Dance' in Chennai

Contrary to reports in a section of the press claiming that Shah Rukh Khan danced for Kamal Haasan at a party thrown in Chennai in honour of the former on Sunday night, Shah Rukh danced for the entire congregation of who's who from the Tamil film industry at the party hosted in his honour at the Hyatt in Chennai.

And he danced drenched from head to toe. Says Kamal Haasan, "He danced wonderfully on stage and it looked like he had come out of the bath and forgotten to dry."

The truth about SRK's wet and wild look that Sunday evening was a little less romantic and far scarier. The air conditioning at the posh luxury hotel had conked off leaving SRK swathed in sweat.

Says Kamal, "It was every celebrity-bash's worst nightmare come true. The air conditioning at the hotel broke down. We were all left seething and simmering in the heat, helpless, angry and bitter. Shah Rukh was fully and formally dressed in a suit for the occasion. His condition in the heat was indescribable. But look at this entertainer! He pulled off his coat, jumped on to the stage and danced, although he dripped sweat like he had just had a bath."

Shah Rukh, we are told, was pretty much completely drained out and on the verge of dehydration after his sweat-soaked performance. "But he didn't care. At that moment he forgot all his discomfort. It was just Shah Rukh Saab (that's what Kamal Haasan calls his junior colleague) and the stage. He is a natural-born entertainer," says Kamal Haasan. 

Kamal Haasan and Shah Rukh share a mutual admiration society from the time they worked together inHey Ram 2000. Shah Rukh had refused to charge any money for the film claiming that the honour of working with the great Kamal Haasan was reward enough. Says Kamal Haasan appreciatively, "Shah Rukh is a true Pathan. A man of his words. I owe him a big favour."

SRK a superstar sans stardom, says Chennai Express co-star
Shah Rukh Khan's next movie is Chennai Express
He may be a superstar to the world, but for his co-stars Shah Rukh Khan is just a caring and friendly person, says Mohan Raman who worked with SRK in upcoming film Chennai Express. (Read: Looking for SRK? Get on board Chennai Express)

"He (Shah Rukh Khan) is very friendly to his co-stars. He ensures that everybody around him is well looked after. He never makes you feel that he bears the superstar title and, therefore, you feel more comfortable around him," Mohan told IANS.

"The only superstar thing about him is that he would mostly be accompanied by his entourage, which is for his own safety. Otherwise, it was a pleasure working with him. I even clicked a picture with him to keep it as a memorabilia," he added.

Mohan Raman will be seen in an important role in the film, which is being directed by Rohit Shetty. It also features Deepika Padukone, Manorama, Sathyaraj and Priyamani.

How was it working with SRK as an actor?

"He would personally help us with lines, whenever needed. A thorough professional on the sets, he is very serious about his work. He spends a lot of time going through his lines and rehearsing to perfect them before enacting them," Raman said.

Known for working in a host of Tamil films and television serials, Raman has also worked in Hindi filmSabse Bada Khiladi.
