Abhishek Bachchan: Dhoom is my film and I am the hero!

The Dhoom series has had inspector Jai Dixit as one of the constants and Jr Bachchanbelieves he is the hero of the film which could not have been made without him and co-star Uday Chopra.

Aamir Khan and Katrina Kaif may be the latest starry additions to Dhoom:3, however Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra are reprising their roles of Jai Dixit and Ali Akbar yet again. And Abhishek truly believes that Dhoom is his film.

In a recent interview for his film Abhishek said, ”Dhoom is my film and I am the hero. Nobody can take that away from me. You can be the biggest or the smallest star but ‘Dhoom’ is about Jai and Ali. It is as simple as that. If the characters of Jai and Ali are not there in ‘Dhoom’, the film won’t be there.”

There were reports that Abhishek was unhappy with the way the film was being promoted. The actor minced no words to express his displeasure, “You should ask the people who decide the marketing strategy which evidently isn’t me. It is my film and wherever they ask me to come I will. Obviously, I want to stand by it. If they feel there are certain events where they don’t want me to be around, what can I do about that. Do I feel bad for it?..No, I don’t give attention to these things.” The actor also added, “I think it matters from case to case. In a film like ‘Dhoom’, I think it doesn’t need any stars. It doesn’t need Aamir, me and Uday. ‘Dhoom’ has become a franchise in itself, you can have newcomers and it will do great.”

High Court notice to Shah Rukh Khan, BMC in sex determination case

The Bombay High Court has issued notices to Shah Rukh Khan and his wife Gauri on a petition filed by a social activist, challenging a magistrate's order refusing her application for documents pertaining to the couple's child born through surrogacy.

Varsha Deshpande has filed a complaint in the magistrate's court seeking action against Shah Rukh, Gauri and city-based Jaslok Hospital under the Pre-conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (Prohibition of Sex Selection) Act (PCPNDT).

She has alleged that Khans had conducted a sex determination test before their third child, AbRam, was born through surrogacy.

Deshpande has sought documents pertaining to the surrogacy process and documents collected by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) in its inquiry into the matter.

The civic body initiated inquiry following Deshpande's allegations and gave a clean chit to Shah Rukh and his wife, saying no offence under the PCPNDT Act had been committed.

"The magistrate rejected our application seeking production and verification of documents following which we approached the High Court," Deshpande's lawyer, advocate Uday Warunjikar said.

Justice R P Sondurbaldota on Friday issued notices to Shah Rukh, Gauri, Jaslok Hospital, and the civic body, and posted the matter for hearing on January 10.

Priyanka, who is also an active member of online social networking platforms, says women always know "how much you want to tell. I am a girl and I have the right to keep my personal life personal. When somebody who is worth asking me asks me about marriage, then I will see."
