Witty SRK and comic Russell Peters to come together to mock celebs

Mumbai, Nov 15: Remember, Shah Rukh and Saif’s comic act at last year’s award function that left some celebrities squirming in their seats and fuming under their breath? Well, the jokes were meant to be taken lightly but some Bollywood biggies’ bad sense of humour made Shah Rukh and Saif decide otherwise this year. But Morani brothers, who organise the popular award show, are keen on maintaining the high profile comic standard of the show and are planning to rope in world’s best comedian Russell Peters and superstar Shah Rukh to mock celebrities. As Russell Peters is known to spare none, humourless Bollywood celebrities are already in a fix. His comic sense is far superior to what India has witnessed so far. A reliable source said, "Shah Rukh and Saif have managed to annoy a number of B-town biggies with their act but it`s child`s play compared to what Russell Peter does to crowds on his shows. The industry people really need to develop a sense of humour. They have to learn to laugh at themselves and not take themselves so seriously." Recently, the comic star was in India for a show, which was attended by many leading names of B-town. The audience loved him, his well aimed jibes and superb punch lines. His take on Bollywood movies were simply side-splitting. He made good fun of Neha Dhupia, Anupam Kher and Aishwarya Rai (who was absent). While Anupam Kher did not take the jibes well, Neha Dhupia laughed with the crowd. It is still not clear whether Shah Rukh and Russell Peters would co-host the show or go for solo hosting. If the two stars come together, pompous and arrogant celebrities are in for some tough digging by droll-king Peters. But the crowd would love the show and make it a riotous hit. Beware, celebs!
