Jab Tak Hai Jaan Got NOC From Pakistan Censor Board

The hugely anticipated Shahrukh Khan, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma starrer Jab Tak Hain Jaan is all set to release in Pakistan amidst rumours that the film would be banned in the country, as it was believed to have portrayed Pakistan in a negative light.

Filmmaker Yash Chopra's final project would now be released in Pakistan after Yash Raj Films (YRF) assured that the plot of the film would not hurt the sentiments of Pakistanis.

"The film has received one NOC (No Objection Certificate) from the ministry of regulations and services and is now awaiting another from the ministry of commerce. After this it will be all set to arrive in Pakistan," The Express Tribune quoted chairman of IMGC Global Entertainment Amjad Rasheed, as saying.

"I met Aditya Chopra at his father's funeral and he assured me that the film is not against Pakistan or its security agencies and it does not have any negative religious connotations. It has a positive vibe overall and I am glad that one of the most awaited films of the year is finally releasing in Pakistan," Rasheed added

Avtar Panesar, Vice President of International Operations at YRF said: "I can confirm that the film has nothing that may be construed as anti-Pakistan; (it) is a simple love story. We have always respected the law in any of the countries we release our films in and Pakistan is no exception. We will respect the law of Pakistan and the release will take place once the formalities are completed.

Apart from being Yash Chopra's final project, it is also the only Shahrukh Khan film to come out this year and his first film with Katrina Kaif, which makes celebrities and audiences alike excited about its release.

This time, the Bollywood Badshah will feature as a `bekaboo` (uncontrollable) with Katrina. In the ad, fragrance of the soap drives Shah Rukh `bekaboo`.

"I`m happy to be associated with Lux yet again! The fragrance of Lux will captivate you just as it has made me `bekaboo`. The fragrance of Lux that stands for love and sensuality brings out the lover in me," Shah Rukh said at the shoot.

The commercial is shot and directed by French director Juan Delcan. It`s Sufi-inspired music score has been composed by acclaimed poet and lyricist Gulzar, and sung by Sonu Nigam.

Katrina`s look in the ad is styled by fashion designer Rocky S.

"When I think of Lux, I think of fun and spontaneity. Lux embodies a type of a woman rather than just soap and of course the fragrance that embodies sensuality," said the actress.

Why CCI Rejected The Devgns plea against YRF

The Competition commission of India has rejected Ajay Devgn Film's(ADF)  complaint against Yashraj Films alleging unfair business practice.

ADF had alleged that cinema owners forced to sign up to screen Jab Tak Hai Jaan along with Ek Tha Tiger by Yashraj films leaving not many screens for their film Son of Sardar which is also slated for Diwali release. Yashraj Films refused to comment on the ruling.

Here Is The Reason Why CCI Rejected Case Against YRF-:

1). There Are Total 9000-10,000 Screen Space Is Available India,From Which Bollywood(Hindi) Movies Can Be Released In 5,000-6,000 Screens.

2) YRF Booked Only 2600 Screens For "Jab Tak Hai Jaan" So There Are Minimum 2000 Screen Space Available For "Son Of Sardar".So There Is No Issue For Lodging Complain Against YRF.

3)YRF Booked Their Screens On "First Come First Book" Basis.As YRF Decided To Release "Jab Tak Hai Jaan" 4 Months Before & Talked To Various multiplexes and single screen owners . Where As ADF Decided To Release Their Movie Few Day Before.


Noting that it cannot issue restraint orders with respect to agreements which are of minor importance, the Commission said that while issuing such orders, it has to "keep in mind the overall exhibition market and not a particular period of the market".

Ajay Devgn Films` complaint was against six parties -- Yash Raj Films, Yash Raj PP Associates, Yash Raj Puri & Co, Yash Raj Pal Film Distributors (Bangalore), Yash Raj Vandana Film Distributors and Yash Raj Kushgara Arts.

However ADF Can Go To High Court For This Issue.

SRK on ‘Jab Tak Hai Jaan’: Hope it helps popularise armed forces

Mumbai: Superstar Shah Rukh Khan is happy that he is playing an army officer in `Jab Tak Hai Jaan`, and hopes it can help popularise the forces.

"I am glad that I am playing an army officer. I feel good that by portraying characters from armed forces in our films, hopefully, we can popularise the profession because our army, navy and air force is beyond the profession, it`s a dedication to your nation, this is what I feel," the 47-year-old said here Friday during a press conference held on his birthday.

Shah Rukh says he would be glad if even one young boy is inspired to join the armed forces after watching the film.

"When I was shooting in Kashmir, many officers used to meet and ask `You are doing na`, so, now may be the boys (are getting inspired). I don`t know if they will (get inspired). But if I am able to do that through this film or through `Fauji` or if one person decides to do that, will be really nice because it is the most honourable and noble profession to be in the armed forces," Shah Rukh said.

Shah Rukh had earlier also played an army officer in `Veer Zaara`.

`Jab Tak Hai Jaan` also stars Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma and hits theatres this Diwali, Nov 13.

Ajay Devgn not my enemy: SRK

On Shahrukh's Khan 47th birthday, the badshah of Bollywood had a huge cake cutting ceremony with the media that was present outside his home Mannat, in Mumbai.

Shahrukh Khan's upcoming release Jab Tak Hain Jaan (directed by the late Yash Chopra) is embroiled in controversy as the film is releasing with Ajay Devgn's Son of Sardaar.
Devgn claims that YRF has manipulated its way by having JTHJ's release in more theaters than SOS, thus getting their way with exhibitors and distributors.

Talking about this, Shahrukh says, "I am no one to speak about the release of Son of Sardaar and Jab Tak Hain Jaan together. It's the producer's lookout. Ajay mera dushman nahi hain. Screen distribution mera call nahi hain".

While the common factor between the two remains Kajol, let's hope the two banners make peace.

SRK plans a simple birthday, says big parties are embarrassing

Q.Any birthday memory that is special to you?

I don’t even remember what I did last year. I think I was in the middle of promoting Ra.One then. And the year before that, I was shooting for Don in Austria, doing the scene where I take my mask off. Suddenly, there were over 1000 people from Austria, Germany, Russia with big placards saying Happy Birthday. It was quite touching as we thought people were standing around just to watch the shooting. They had lots of cakes and banners.

Q.What has been the best gift you have received on your birthday?

I have got some really nice gifts and all gifts from my family are special. I love it when I get books from my friends. One friend gave me a fantastic laptop, another a makeup box for work, which my make-up guy carries now. It looks cool. I like gifts —whatever they are.

Do you cut cakes?

I cut all the cakes brought by the media but I am too old to be cutting cakes. Anyway, I don’t like eating desserts at all.

Who is the first one to wish you?

My daughter usually is the first as she’s very particular and proper. She gets a card and everything.
