Kids, my best safety blankets: SRK (Movie Snippets)

Superstar Shah Rukh Khan, a doting father, feels the safest when his children "envelope" him with their hugs.

The actor, who has been busy with the promotions of his "Chennai Express", releasing Friday, has a son named Aryan, and a daughter named Suhana. He also recently announced the birth of his surrogate son AbRam.

On Thursday afternoon, SRK took to Twitter to post: "Awake now. Need to surround myself by love... think will get the kids to come and envelope me with their hugs. The best safety blankets."

Shah Rukh's hopes from "Chennai Express" are high. The film, directed by Rohit Shetty, also stars Deepika Padukone.

Nawazuddin was right for 'Anwar Ka Ajab Kissa': Director

National award-winning director Buddhadeb Dasgupta says he was impressed with actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui's talent after watching films like "Kahaani" and "Gangs Of Wasseypur", and he felt he would fit the bill for the lead role in "Anwar Ka Ajab Kissa".

"I was not finding a right face for (the role of) Anwar. I waited for the right face to play Anwar. When I saw Nawaz, I signed him. I feel Nawaz is the most talented actor in the Hindi film industry. He is a wonderful actor," Dasgupta said in a statement.

The story of "Anwar Ka Ajab Kissa" was ready around two years back, but the director was ready to wait until he zeroed in on the perfect face to essay a common man's role.

The film is produced by Leo Eight Pixmedia Pvt. Ltd. and is currently under post production.

Sonam has no time for celebrations!

After two back-to-back hits, one would expect actress Sonam Kapoor to party hard, but her projects are keeping her hard-pressed for time.

Her latest releases "Raanjhanaa" and "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag" have fared well. Sonam says she will celebrate her success very soon.

"I have been inundated with calls from friends from the industry, family and well wishers. My house is filled with flowers and this calls for a big celebration for everyone. I will plan it once my shooting schedule is over," Sonam said in a statement.

Before the huge success of her recent films could sink in, the actress began to shoot for her next film with Yash Raj Films (YRF). YRF had planned the shooting dates much in advance and had got the dates from Ayushmann Khurrana, Rishi Kapoor and Sonam.
