SRK's Knight Riders send five players packing

New Delhi: The Kolkata IPL team has decided to release five of its contracted players — Ranadeb Bose, Sourashish Lahiri, Rohan Banerjee, Cheteshwar Pujara and Yashpal Singh by Sunday. According to the team management, coach John Buchanan has decided that the players who have not played in the Indian Premier League (IPL) till date will be released, since they have little chance of playing in the remaining six matches. Buchanan, it was learnt, now wants to concentrate on the 16 players who have played in the IPL. The five contracted players, however, will not have to forfeit from their contracted amounts. KKR owner Shah Rukh Khan has sought to downplay controversy and says the decision is good for the players. "You need to construct the team with lesser amount of people and continue with it because it's just delaying matters," he said. Bose was taken aback when he spoke to CNN-IBN about his release.

Karan refuses to design clothes for SRK

Karan with Shah Rukh Khan Karan Johar’s brief but illustrious stint as costume designer seems to be over. He won’t be designing or styling Shah Rukh Khan’s costumes for his films. “At least, not this time,” he makes it clear to us from Los Angeles where he’s busy with the pre-production work of his next film. “I’m so taken up with pre-production, I don’t know if I’m coming or going. It’s impossible for me to do Shah Rukh’s clothes for Adi’s film. Now someone else is doing his costumes this time. It was fun while it lasted and I even got awards for doing Shah Rukh’s clothes.” He must be the only director in the world to get awards for doing costumes. “Am I? Well, there you are!” He also poses for magazine covers and makes cameo appearances but the multitasking director is a worried man. He says, “At the moment I’m leaving all that behind and focussing on getting back to making films. I will turn 36 this month. And I’m really depressed about my age. Those who sa

Panchvi Pass or Panchvi Fail: Big B's dig at SRK

AMITABH BACHCHAN, the undisputed emperor of the Hindi filmdom, on his blog posted on May 9, 2008, once again initiated the most controversial debate of the tinsel town, albeit indirectly: Who is a greater star? Big B or King Khan? Bachchan even went a step ahead. He used a graphics from Television Audience Measurement (TAM) to drive home his point. Bachchan writes in his blog, “KBC 1 ran non-stop for almost two years and then, with an adequate break, the two and the three. I am unable to understand its (Panchvi Pass) falling interest as the graphs show despite the fact that they were presented by bigger and more popular star, namely Shahrukh. And now to see ’Panchvi Pass’, or as one rival channel executive sniggered, ‘Panchvi Fail’, after its not too encouraging numbers, facing relative lower ratings is what I wish to debate on and would love to have inputs from readers.” Why is there a depleted performance despite the presence of the biggest name in the busi
