The
Bollywood
Baadshah
turned
43
on
November
2nd.
Thanks
to
the
huge
throng
of
fans,
Mumbai's
traffic
almost
came
to
a
halt
in
front
of
his
bungalow
Mannat.
Shahrukh
Khan
did
deserve
it
all.
His
appeal
hasn't
faded
with
age
and
there
have
been
many
big
hits
in
all
these
years.
To
make
the
day
special
for
him,
his
better
half
Gauri
Khan
threw
a
party
for
their
close
B-Town
friends.
However
the
biggest
treat
for
his
fans
on
his
birthday
was
the
release
of
the
promos
of
his
ambitious
upcoming
Yashraj
venture
Rab
Ne
Bana
Di
Jodi.
Shahrukh
calls
it
a
gift
from
Yash
Raj
and
old
friend
Aditya
Chopra.
He
plays
a
common
man
Surinder
Sahini
in
the
film
and
hopes
that
families
would
love
it.
He
said
that
it's
a
love
story
but
not
a
young
one
like
Dilwale
Dulhaniya
Le
Jayenge.
Newcomer
Anushka
Sharma
is
acting
opposite
him
and
she
plays
a
character
much
younger
than
him.
SRK
hopes
that
at
the
end
of
this
movie
and
all
his
movies,
a
small
message
is
passed
on
to
the
audience.
On
another
note,
the
Baadshah
will
battle
Abhishek
Bachchan
on
Valentines
Day
next
year.
Their
big
films
-
SRK's
home
production
Billoo
Barber
and
Abhishek
Bachchan's
Dilli
6
are
supposed
to
release
a
day
before
Valentines
Day,
13th
February
2008!
Actually
'
Billoo
Barber
was
previously
scheduled
for
a
Diwali
2008
release
but
it
had
to
be
postponed
because
of
some
production
delays.
Shahrukh
then
planned
the
release
for
late
November,
but
this
too
was
suspended
as
he
has
the
biggie
Rab
Ne
Bana
Di
Jodi
coming
in
early
December.
Now
this
one
sure
will
be
an
interesting
battle
to
watch
out
for!
