    Shah Rukh Khan to be honoured at Locarno Film Festival

    Switzerland’s Locarno Film Festival opens on Wednesday with Shah Rukh Khan, Jane Campion, Alfonso Cuaron and Irene Jacob set to be honoured with special awards.

    Founded in 1946, Locarno is one of the world’s longest-running annual film festivals and focuses on auteur cinema.

    Held on the shores of Lake Maggiore, in the Italian-speaking Ticino region of southern Switzerland, films are screened in Locarno’s central square — a feature of Swiss national life depicted on the country’s 20-franc banknotes.

    The open-air Piazza Grande holds up to 8,000 moviegoers, and films are shown on one of the largest screens in the world.

    Bollywood superstar Khan, 58, will on Saturday be given the Pardo alla Carriera award for people whose artistic contributions have redefined cinema.

    “The wealth and breadth of his contribution to Indian cinema is unprecedented,” said the festival’s artistic director Giona A. Nazzaro.

    “Khan is a king who has never lost touch with the audience that crowned him. This brave and daring artist has always been willing to challenge himself.”

    The 77th festival, which runs until August 17, features 225 films, including 104 world premieres and 15 debut movies.

    Locarno’s top prize is the Golden Leopard. Previous winning directors include Roberto Rossellini, John Ford, Stanley Kubrick, Milos Forman, Mike Leigh and Jim Jarmusch.

    Seventeen films — all world or international premieres — are vying for the award, including movies from Lithuania, France, Austria, Italy and South Korea.

    The Golden Leopard comes with a prize fund of 75,000 Swiss francs ($87,400), shared between the director and the producer.

    Switzerland’s largest film event will feature a retrospective dedicated to the 100th anniversary of Columbia Pictures.

    – ‘Tortured, fascinating characters’ –

    New Zealand’s Campion will be recognised with the Leopard of Honour, given to outstanding personalities of world cinema.

    She was the first woman to be nominated twice for the best director Oscar: first for “The Piano” (1993) and then for “The Power of the Dog” (2021), which secured her the Academy Award.

    “Her work, peopled with tortured, fascinating characters and marked by an astonishing skill in grappling with the more disturbing side of the human condition, represents one of the undisputed pinnacles of contemporary filmmaking,” Nazzaro said.

    Previous recipients include Ennio Morricone, Jean-Luc Godard, Bernardo Bertolucci, Paul Verhoeven, Terry Gilliam and Werner Herzog.

    Mexican filmmaker Cuaron, who won the best director Oscars for “Gravity” (2013) and “Roma” (2018), will receive the lifetime achievement award.

    “Cuaron has reinvented himself as an artist with each new film,” said Nazzaro.

    French-Swiss actress Jacob, who starred in “The Double Life of Veronique” (1991) and “Three Colours: Red” (1994), will receive the Leopard Club Award, given for film work touching the collective imagination.

    Nearly 150,000 people attended last year’s festival.

    Here’s the reason we have not seen Tabu and Shah Rukh Khan together on screen

    Bollywood fans have long wondered why they haven’t seen the duo of superstar Shah Rukh Khan and powerhouse Tabu in a film together. Despite their memorable cameo as a couple in ‘Saathiya’ and special appearances in ‘Main Hoon Na’ and ‘Om Shanti Om,’ a full-fledged collaboration has remained elusive.

    In an interview with Galatta India, Tabu said, “I am neither a director, producer, or screenwriter, and I really don’t control who Shah Rukh Khan collaborates with. Alright? And which films will be produced as well as which films will be recommended to me next. I can only say yes or no from what is offered to me.”
    The Crew actor revealed, “I know what I have refused, and I am sure he has also refused a few.”

    She did acknowledge that many people want to see Shah Rukh and her together. “And I won’t ignore that.”
    Among the notable films that could have featured this iconic pair were the blockbuster hits Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna.

    Despite these lost chances, Tabu’s clarity about what happened emphasises how unpredictable movie casting is and how many different things might affect an actor’s choice.

    Why Tauqeer Nasir turned down a Bollywood film with Madhuri Dixit?

    Tauqeer Nasir, a prominent figure in the Pakistani entertainment industry, made some revelations as he appeared as a guest on ‘Zabardast’, hosted by Wasi Shah.

    He revealed that his work has been acknowledged by many in Bollywood, marking a significant highlight in his remarkable career.

    “Shah Rukh Khan has always been a fan of my work,” he said.

    Nasir also claimed that Khan was inspired by his performance in ‘Parwaaz’ and copied his style and character for his role in ‘Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna’.

    “The similarities between the two characters are striking, and it’s evident that he drew heavy inspiration from my work,” he added.

    Tauqeer Nasir also disclosed that he once received an offer for a Bollywood film that would have starred him alongside the legendary Madhuri Dixit, but due to political tensions at the time, the project fell through.

    “After that experience, I lost interest in pursuing opportunities in Bollywood,” he admitted.

  • Momal Sheikh’s surprise confession: ‘I chose love over a SRK meeting’

    Momal Sheikh’s surprise confession: ‘I chose love over a SRK meeting’

    In a candid and heartwarming episode of the FHM podcast, Pakistani actor Momal Sheikh shared a touching story about how she chose love over a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet Bollywood stars like Shah Rukh Khan. Momal revealed that she fell in love with her now-husband, Nadir, following him abroad to nurture their romance.

    Reflecting on a crucial moment in her life, Momal talked about her father Javed Sheikh being included in the star-studded song “Deewangi” for the Bollywood movie Om Shanti Om in India. “My dad was shooting Om Shanti Om in India, and he asked if I wanted to visit,” she shared.

    However, her heart was set on Nadir. “I had to choose between meeting Shah Rukh Khan and being with Nadir. So, I decided to go to London while my brother went for the song and got to meet everyone.”

    Describing her journey to London as a “challenging romantic adventure,” Momal faced dramatic twists reminiscent of a Bollywood film. Upon arriving in London, she discovered Nadir had left for another city, a pivotal moment in their relationship.

    She recalled, “Finding my Shah Rukh Khan was quite the romantic saga. When I reached London, Nadir had already gone elsewhere. So, I asked him straightforwardly if he wanted to marry me. He said yes without hesitation, and his mother met mine soon after. It all happened very quickly, like something out of a Kajol and SRK romance.”

    Momal’s pursuit of love led to a swift engagement, despite her initial worries about family acceptance. She humorously likened their story to Bollywood plots but emphasized their families were supportive.

    “I thought our parents might object, but no,” Momal shared. “They were surprisingly supportive. My father-in-law just wanted Nadir to secure a job before we proceeded with the marriage. He was a student when we fell in love. It was a classic case of engagement followed swiftly by marriage.”
