Kapoor & Sons First Look!!!

Karan tweeted the first Kapoor and Sons poster today!  That seems so fast!  I can still remember when it was just a rumored production!  I think I must be getting old, I remember back in the day when Happy New Year was announced it felt like For. Ever. before the first look came out.  Oh wait!  That was just a couple years ago!  Yeah, I’m not getting old, this movie turned around in production super fast!  Well, fast for a high profile big budget release.

Rumors and Gossip: Karan to launch SRK’s son?

Okay, so that headline is total clickbait.  But it is based on an actual article in rediff!  That is also total clickbait.  It’s just Karan saying that Shahrukh’s family is his family, and he has called dibs on launching Aryan as his right as an uncle.  Actually, I am picturing a very loving battle over that between Karan and Adi, when the time comes.  With Farhan raising his hand briefly and then getting shouted down and thrown out of the house.  Perhaps another Dharma/Yash Raj co-production would satisfy all involved? With Red Chillies and Ajay Devgan FFilms providing funding? (I am taking it as a given that Aryan will be launched opposite Nyssa.  Also, that’s not a typo, Ajay spells it with two fs).

For a reminder of all the various other star teenagers waiting in the wings to be launched, Times of India has provided a handy slide-show.  Nyssa is not included, because she is in an awkward phase right now (looks just like her mother did at this age, see photo above), and because Ajay would probably storm the Times of India headquarters if they printed a picture of his little girl.

Dilwale: News from the Front 2

According to twitter, house full through out India, UAE, and not Egypt because they have to wait until the 30th (poor Egypt).  Also, Madhuri wished him luck and Karan congratulated him.  This picture SRK posted to twitter himself kind of sums it up:

So what I’m saying is, poor Bajirao.

Is this disappointing? Or a relief?

So, I just saw this

I’m glad I wasn’t the only person whose reaction of the possibility of Alia and Shahrukh co-starring was “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”

I am interested in the implication that Karan is losing his pull with the star community, first Shudhi falling about half a dozen times, and now this.  Of course, he’s also filming right now with Ranbir and Aish, so he couldn’t have lost all his connections.
