Shah Rukh Khan featured in some of the biggest hits helmed by filmmaker Yash Chopra and now he has been selected for an award instituted in the memory of late Bollywood legend. The Badshah of Bollywood will receive the fourth National Yash Chopra Memorial Award, the award jury, comprising Chopra’s wife Pamela, filmmaker Boney Kapoor, Simi Garewal, Padmini Kohlapuri, Subbarami Reddy, Any and Shashi Ranjan, announced today. The award - whose previous recipients were Lata Mangeshkar, Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha - will be presented on February 25. Pamela said the two biggest reasons why the 51-year- old actor was chosen are that he was extremely close to Chopra - he did four films with Shah Rukh, which were all big hits - and also because of the iconic status that SRK enjoys. “The award is given to those who are icons, who we know are legends like we gave to Lata Mangeshkar and Amitabh Bachchan. Last year, it was Rekha, who will be a legend tomorrow and same is the case with Shah R...

Jab Tak Hai Jaan First Day Box Office Business Report The first day box office collections of Jab Tak Hai Jaan(JTHJ) are in the 12.50-12.75 crore nett range as per early estimates.

Jab Tak Hai Jaan will show a big jump in business today though again the clash will ensure business does not go towards record territory.

However, we should do it without losing our own unique style. “Learning Hollywood screenplay and technology is not about losing the intrinsic quality of our stories. We have to maintain our own cinematic individuality,” SRK said while adding that writing screenplay is more of a science than an art.
