Tees Maar Khan – Farah surprises!
With all the Happy New Year rumours, starring Shahrukh Khan, doing the rounds, Farah Khan of Om Shanti Om and Main Hoon Na fame, has surprised the media and the trade with this shocking announcement. No one really expected Farah to work with anyone except SRK, did we? Well, here’s some breaking news, Farah Khan has dumped SRK and instead will be directing none other than Akshay Kumar in her next!
According to Farah it is her husband Shirish Kunder’s script for the film titled Tees Maar Khan that did the trick. Says Shirish “I wrote this film with Akshay in mind. My first film Jaaneman was with him and we share a good rapport. Initially, I was supposed to direct Tees Maar Khan but since its our first home production, Farah and I decided that I’ll produce it and she’ll direct it.”
On Tees Maar Khan, Farah says “It’s my kind of film and has everything in it — action, comedy and full masala.”
With news of the Chopra’s ditching SRK for Ranbir and now Farah for Akshay, it will be interesting to see who SRK decides to work with in the future. It could be a blessing in disguise though, since SRK could very well risk working outside his group of friends at this stage of his career. Would be a refreshing change.
What’s also interesting is, the Akshay – Farah combo. If Farah’s success ratio in the past is anything to go by, Akki fans can rejoice!
What are your expectations from Tees Maar Khan? Comments below

Any idea bout d story..?
as far as other media reports r considered, this movie s jointly produced by akshays hari om productions.
so obviously akki `ll be d main lead actor.
Shirish kunder was supposed to direct Joker with akshay i heard.. den he told he `ll approach SRK not akshay.
basially after jan e mann bombed at d box office SRK s not keen to work with shrish tats all….;) he s not very confident of him.
SRK s busy with RA-1 n don 2 , and he has some television productions also i heard.. so busy i guess..
one more thing to be noted- Farah, yash raj r SRK`s territory. weneva akshay entered tat it has lead to a failure.(eg- Tashan),,,,, am sure u ppl `ll tel bout dil to pagal hai nw. but it had SRK n akki was just a guest appearence.
i want this movie to succeed as akki s my fav…:)
and may be akki `ll want katrina to work with him to ensure success of this movie;)
one thing i didnt like bout akki s just tellin every1 dat katrina s his lucky charm n wantin her in every
movie.. if d script s gud n gud promotions any gal `ll be his lucky charm.. he s infact promotin katrina more than his movies now a days… Chakkar kya hai boss…;)

Indicine team- its gud if he gives credit to al his co-stars.. but wy only katrina… for eg- he could `ve promoted lara also in blue.. she also gave hits with akki..

ya it s true actresses cant give a 40cr openin. but one thing i feel bad s.. if d movie b`comes a hit dey say wow.. its bcoz of katrina(in case of akki), but if it flops den full blame on d male lead…;) sad rt…. ha ha

INDICINE TEAM:rnbj was his biggest hit?????Donot know tht …then OMO is 2nd biggest hit of his career then
SRK real image has come from it …i guess!!!!He have no time for his friend too~~clearly ,we can see how he had behave n said bad thing to Salman khan in katrina birthday party ,where khans fight happened!!!!
Akshay is only actor who doesnot care how big is the director or producer!!!He can turn a bad movie into hit …..He is truely boxoffice puller …If he start promoting movie ,surely 1st week will always be more than 40 crs …Even he have not promote the movie as big as he do in BLUE but still it collection of 1st week was around 33 crs with 3 movie clash on same day…only say how big star is he when it come to boxoffice collection
For aamir,he does 1 movie per year and every people will wait for his movie…..even he break the boxoffice record but doesnot quite show how big boxoffice puller he is…”"”Just think when akshay have 1 film per year ….It can easily beat aamir khan record …say like this”Earth shattering opening will be”"” So in term of Boxoffice,akshay still is best of all in recent 2-3 years

Great to see Farah doing a movie with Akki . I was surprised when i saw this news on ndtv imagine. i Hope AKKI and that hollywood director i dont remember his name(the one who liked AKKI in Blue and there were news of him making a movie with AKKI) makes a good AXN film With AKKI

Interesting , At the end of the day its all about money isn’t it.
Lets see how SRK reacts to this……………

all the ladies in the office (Saifa, Urvash, Shanti etc) are thrilled that at last the “big time producers” are accepting Akshay…it took 20 years though. i remember he once said in an interview that he got tired looking through the windows of big producers hoping they would do a movie with him…

haha Indicine Team: Do u really believe that?! that Farah Khan would dump Shahrukh.. he’s her best friend – as she always says during interviews – noone knows what happened between them behind the curtains.. and I’m sure.. and 1000% sure that Shahruh apologized nicely to her.. that he won’t be able to do her & her husband’s project.. so she had no choice except to sign some other superstars for her movie! and.. shahrukh is a smart guy.. would never risk his career and do Farah’s husband movie.. who’s name is what.. shirish or something… just go back to Jaaneman and watch it again.. a stupid silly kachra movie.. he’s a failure director.. so a failure script writer too! a failure director who did Jaaneman could never write a good script for Shahrukh.. Shahrukh is not crazy to sign for some crap movies!!
Do u all believe in what someone would say or announce?!

^ it ultimately means SRK s very insecure and doesnt work with flop directors… which must `ve hurt farah so she went near akki… who doesnt `ve tat insecure feelin as Indicine team mentioned above…;)
one flop doesnt judge a persons ability…
Ranbir`s 1st movie was a flop , does it mean he s crap or kachra? nw he has delivered a blockbuster with APKGK.
every person has his ability.. some ppl dont recognise it(SRK) and some smart ppl read it early…( akki) ha ha;)

Amish: some very good movies deserve to be hit or superhit, blockbuster movise but they won’t because ( and as I explained, indicine team too explained) there’re many reasons for any movie to be a hit or a flop.. but u guys.. all of you here measure any good or bad by the “income”.. the box ofice collection.. ok.. let’s compare Saawariya & Jaaneman.. Janeman which was a crap movie did an average business at the box office.. and Saawariya which was great in everything and a movie which was made by a hand of a big director failed.. so do u “blindly” consider Jaaneman as a better movie?!! then why there’re critics?! why a brilliant movie like Omkara which was a disaster at the box office won some awards.. was critically acclaimed.. the movie Zubeida for Karishma Kapoor was a very good movie and it didn’t do well, but was critically acclaimed.. grow up guys.. the box office would never indicate if a movie was good or bad.. the problem is in the audience’s taste.. Saawariya which was a romantic quality movie was released on a wrong time.. in Diwali with OSO.. so OSO won because it was a romantic comedy movie with shahrukh starring.. for me.. OSO was a crap movie ( the songs were good) and I was so angry that Shahrukh agreed to do it although it was a blockbuster movie.. why?!!why it did well at the box office? because the audience love only entertaining movies.. 70 or 80% of ppl want to watch some funny movies.. even if 70% of those comedy movies were some cheap products.. that’s the reason Amish!
Even some serious movies don’t do well e.g. Jail.. can u say that the movie “Jail” is a bad movie?
amish: (November 19, 2009 at 3:29 pm)
^ its not only v guys…. every1 in d film industry judges a movie by its income…;)
OSO as u said was crap.. but ppl remember it as box office record breaker of 2007…
wer as ur zubaida.. who remembers it…? even jail.. it was a gud movie but who `ll remember it next yr… neil `ll be called a flop actor only even tho he has a potential…
so judge a person by his potential not d no.of flops he gives…
Regarding critically acclaimed movies. wat `ll dey get at most… some awards… nothin else…
i dunno wy topic of discussion takes a U turn here… u started d discussion tellin Shirish kunder s a crap kachra director so SRK didnt want to work with him.. so it indicates SRK s very insecure… tats all…;) ha ha
amish: (November 19, 2009 at 3:41 pm)
And according to me both jan-e-mann and saawariya wer not tat gud… both wer boring….
and as u said before each person has his own views n liking… so some may `ve liked janemann n very few liked sawariyan.
and every person wants to enjoy so he goes to a movie.. tats d reason ppl make masala movies..
who wants to go n cry for 3 hrs or yawn in multiplex payin 200+..

Farah flops. Maybe the role is too dim-wit and clownish for SRK. but right for hack Akki.
To add more to the news above. Back in 2007 there were rumours of Shahrukh Khan working in the very same project, which was to be directed by Shirish Kunder. Its believed that SRK rejected Akshay’s role and shared a strained friendship with Shirish. The project was eventually shelved.
Shirish has now revived it with Farah as the director and Akshay Kumar as the lead star.
Stay tuned for info on the female lead.
