Happy New Year marks the return of SRK and Deepika after Chennai Express and SRK and Farah (Khan) after hits such as Main Hoon Na and Om Shanti Om; and, it's the occasion of Diwali. The film is set for a wide release and, at least at PVR, 80 per cent of our screens will be running the movies

Shahrukh Khan's Youngest Son AbRam Makes His Bollywood Debut in Happy New Year?
Here's one major reason that might make Happy New Year a memorable film for Shahrukh Khan's fans as well as his family – the film might feature SRK's wife Gauri Khan in a special appearance along with the couple's youngest child, AbRam.
"This time around what makes the upcoming film Happy New Year special is the appearance of Gauri Khan, Shah Rukh Khan's wife and their youngest kid AbRam," reports Bollywood Hungama.
The report further states that Gauri Khan, who is also the co-founder of Red Chillies Entertainment, recently revealed that she will be doing a guest appearance in the film along with AbRam.
Looks like all the members of the Khan family are equally comfortable in the limelight. While young AbRam is all set to make his Bollywood debut, SRK's older son, Aryan also gave his first shot as a child in Karan Johar's 2001 family drama - Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham.
Gauri Khan was also seen on the big screen in Farah Khan's 2007 hit, Om Shanti Om, during the end credits.
Recently, Shahrukh Khan took to a social networking site to give a glimpse of AbRam.
Produced by Red Chillies Entertainment, Happy New Year stars Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Sonu Sood, Boman Irani, Vivaan Shah among others. The film is slated to be released on October 23.
