SRK's presence kept under veil


SRK`s presence kept under veilSunburn organizers have kept under veil Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s presence for the three-day annual event at Goa’s Candolim beach, scheduled to begin on December 27.

Emerging out of a meeting with the Chief Minister Digambar Kamat, Party organizer Harinder Singh told reporters on Thursday that they have not prepared exclusive guests list as the party is open for all ticket-holders.

“We have not prepared any guest list for the event as anyone can buy a ticket and enter the party venue. I don’t know whether Shar Rukh Khan will come for the festival,” he said.

Singh expressed oblivious when asked whether they have ‘send an invite’ to king Khan to participate in the much-hyped electronic music party. “I don’t know…people buy VVIP, VVIP tickets and there are some guests from the sponsors,” was his pat reply.

The organizers meanwhile had a
meeting with the chief minister to inform about the procedural delays to approve their proposal seeking permission to host the festival. The event expects a crowd of more than 40,000 people from across the globe.

While the Bollywood celebs have planned for their holiday season, SRK along with his wife Gauri Khan and children are planning their head way to Goa. Sources revealed that the Khan family is expected to let their hair down at the Sunburn festival with their friends. 'No One Killed Jessica' gets A-certificate, makers happy The censor board has awarded the A-certificate to "No One Killed Jessica" - based on a real murder - without any cuts and its makers Thursday hailed the decision saying they were happy to be able to take the story to the audience.

"The emotion of the journey, the power of the people and the relentless effort of the media needed to be brought to the audience in the right light and hats off to the censor board for keeping that above all else while judging the film," said Vikas Behl, a senior official at UTV, which has produced the film.

Set for a Jan 7 release, "No One Killed Jessica" is based on ramp model Jessica Lall's murder case.

Director Rajkumar Gupta roped in Vidya Balan to play Jessica's sister Sabrina who fought tooth and nail to get justice for her sister.

Rani Mukerji plays a journalist in the film and the director said her character is brutal and graphic in her speech and will be seen mouthing expletives non-stop. It was feared that the censor may object to these scenes.

Another area of discomfort for the film was the legal ramifications of showing real-life people, particularly the hostile witnesses in the murder case.

In fact, former top cop Amodh Kanth had urged the censor board to ensure that only facts relating to the Jessica Lall murder case are presented in "No One Killed Jessica".

He was the joint commissioner of police (southern range) when Jessica was shot dead in a night club by Manu Sharma, the son of a Haryana politician in 1999. Sharma has been awarded a life sentence by the Supreme Court.
