Some are beginning to call Shah Rukh Khan "the remake King". However, is this really a fair assessment?

In 2002, SRK essayed the lead role in Devdas, the role that was previously played by the legendary Dilip Kumar.

Shah Rukh's most recent endeavor is the remake of the 1978 Amitabh Bachchan classic, Don. Don is slated for release this Diwali.

While last month SRK said he wants to once again play the lead role in another superstar Amitabh Bachchan starrer in a modern-day remake of Deewar, there are no plans to make this happen. It is merely a fancy of the King at this point.

However, reports are going around that SRK will play the role of Rishi Kapoor in a remake of the Subhash Ghai directed Karz, adding that the remake will be directed by Farah Khan, who last directed SRK in the runaway hit Main Hoon Na opposite Sushmita Sen.

However, this is completely false, as both Khan's have stated.

Previously, Farah herself laughingly said, "Me remaking Karz? That's the biggest joke I've heard. On what basis did the writer decide that? I haven't said I'm doing Karz. Where did he get this hilarious information? Just because my film is titled Om Shanti Om? Okay, I know that's a hit song from Karz, but does that mean that if my film was called Mehbooba Mehbooba it would be a remake of Sholay?"

Farah continues, "My film has nothing to do with Subhash Ghai's Karz or any other old film. Why should I do a remake? Om Shanti Om is an absolute original. I've spent months fine-tuning my script. Now when both Shah Rukh and I like what's down on paper, we cannot have fertile imaginations inventing parallel plots for us."

Additionally, to set the record straight, Om Shanti Om is a fresh project, not a re-titling of Farah's now scraped film that she was supposed to make with Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone, Happy New Year.

"That didn't work out. Every day there was some speculation as to why it fell through. The fact is, the script didn't seem right. Now we’re all set with Om Shanti Om."

Upset with the rumours and out right false stories surrounding her film, Farah says, "I can't start my day getting so depressed. Come on, when I've everything in place I can't afford to have incorrect information spoiling things for me."

So, it looks like Shah Rukh won't be making a string of re-makes, as some claim.
