SRK to Play a Superhero......

….Mohabbatman.

If this news is true then I can die peacefully. I have seen and heard everything this world can offer to show me.

I really didn’t see that coming. Think about the things SRK would do as Mohabbatman. Probably he will carry on his work from Mohabbatein.

Some diversion from original topic here. Mohabbatein made me want to take admission in a college like Gurukul. Not because of a chance of romantic affair with chicks but because the students from that particular college didn’t seem to have normal worries like exams. But isn’t that same with many other YashRaj movies? How come the students never worry about stuff like journals, submissions, lectures(whether to attend and sleep to or bunk and go see a movie), attendance, practicals. Instead of talking about things like Arre aaj ka electronic ka practical mein kuch samjha nahi mereko. Galti se reverse nodes connect kiya. Baad mein bajuwale ka reading utha ke chhapa maine sidha mere journal mein, they always seem to be busy plotting some alien things. And then there is defaulters’ list. What can I say about that! It’s a list of selected hand-picked students who get a chance to meet the high authorities of the college once every year with their parents, which is considered a great honor. Ek shaam principal ke naam. And I am proud to say that I was winner for all 3 years. First time I brought my dad to the party. It was really boring though. I was kept waiting outside while my dad and other professors were enjoying. So what if my dad can be a life of a party. It’s rude to keep me waiting outside. So in my second year when he was called again, I just took some form which was meant for some less important people (like whose attendance was greater that 50% but less that 75%) and had my dad fill it up and fooled the professors back at college making them think that he was not interested in yesteryear’s repeat performance. In third year when I won again, I was so bored that I didn’t even bother to see the list. Neither did the professors bother to congratulate me. I was told about it by some of my enthusiastic friends.

Enough with the diversion. Let’s get back to SRK. I wonder what and whom he will be fighting against. Maybe he will fight against Shiv Sena in the name of St. Valentine. Imagine SRK with his underwear over his tights singing in the streets of Mumbai while fighting against the horde of Shiv Sainiks. That's the stuff that Bollywood is made of.

Besides, I really don’t think SRK needs to wear a costume to be a superhero. His heroics and stunts in Main Hoon Naa will vouch for me.

His topless performance in Om Shanti Om is an eyesore. For those of you who haven’t noticed it yet, let me spell it out for you. I am a hardcore SRK critic. The only reason I liked Chak De because he was less like himself in that movie.

I believe Hrithik Roshan is the one to blame. With Koi Mil Gaya and Krrish, he inspired King Khan to do the impossible deeds. What follows is Baby B in Drona. Now that I saw coming. If Bachchans can do it then SRK has to do it and if SRK does it then Bachchans have to live up to their mantle. It’s the mantra these days.

When I wrote about Watchmen earlier, I definitely did not have these two playing the costumed adventurers. But stranger things can happen. Like me going to a dietitian and actually trying hard to keep to the schedule. But more about that later.
