Shahrukh Khan charms Deepika Padukone with flowers and biceps!

Shahrukh Khan and Deepika Padukone clicked in candid moments in Munnar

A rose for the lady!

Shahrukh Khan has been away from the noise and fury of Indian Premier League, shooting for Chennai Express in the picturesque locales of Munnar in Kerala with co-actress Deepika Padukone. Over the weekend that just went by SRK and Deepika held a press conference at the Silver Tips Hotel in Munnar. At the event, the two actors recreated some of their lovely chemistry in the Rohit Shetty-directed film. If one moment Shahrukh Khan was seen charming Deepika Padukone with a rose, in another he tried to flaunt his bicep to her and she almost felt its width. Speaking to reporters, Shahrukh said he’d been to Kerala before and he’s always admired how beautiful it looks during the rainy season. Deepika added, “This is the first place I visited in Kerala as a child with my family.” Chennai Express was being shot in Munnar since April 12. The next schedule of the film will begin in Coimbatore. Shahrukh has been missing the IPL matches in stadiums this season because he wants to wrap up Chennai Express soon. The film’s slated to release on August 8.

What reminded Salman Khan of 'Karan Arjun' with Shahrukh Khan?

While shooting an ad recently, Salman Khan was reminded of a film he did with Shahrukh Khan years ago.

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan admits that while shooting for an inner wear ad (DixcyScott), he was reminded of his film Karan Arjun.

Directed by Rakesh Roshan, 1995 release "Karan Arjun" featured Salman and Shahrukh Khan together, who were among the top actors of that time. Also starring Raakhee as their mother, the film featured Kajol and Mamta Kulkarni as the female leads.

"Karan Arjun" was a blockbuster.

One of the scenes of blockbuster "Karan Arjun" where Durga, played by Raakhee, says her sons (Karan and Arjun) will come back, was shot in the Mehboob Studio, the same place where Salman has shot for the inner wear ad.

"It (shooting for 'DixcyScott' ad) reminded me of 'Karan Arjun'. I was shooting for 'Karan Arjun' in Mehboob Studio and there was also the same ambience during my introduction scene in the film. It was the same (ambience for ad film) and I was reminded of the scene, 'Mere bete aayenge, Karan-Arjun aayenge, dharti ka seena phaadkar aayenge' and then I enters the boxing ring," said Salman Khan.

Salman is looking 'fit as a fiddle' in the ad, although he has put on some weight recently, but said: "I am just getting back into shape."

He added: "Arbaaz has the worst body among all of us (Salman, Sohail and Arbaaz) and Sohail is the fittest now."

Salman is currently busy shooting for Sohail's directorial venture Mental.
