The prominent red-carpet faces at this year’s Berlinale, as the festival is known, have included Renée Zellweger, a member of the jury (headed by the director Werner Herzog) that will give out prizes on Saturday; Leonardo DiCaprio, who was promoting his latest collaboration with Martin Scorsese, “Shutter Island”; and the Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan, here for the premiere of “My Name Is Khan.”
But this year’s Berlinale, which ends on Sunday, has been as much about absent celebrities as present ones. Roman Polanski remained under house arrest in Switzerland as his latest movie, “The Ghost Writer,” had its premiere on Friday (to mixed reviews). The biggest story in the daily trade publications was about Lars von Trier, who does not have a film here but was briefly — and falsely — rumored to be collaborating with Mr. Scorsese and Robert De Niro on a “Taxi Driver” remake.
True to form, the loudest absence was orchestrated by the British street artist Banksy, who continued to develop the meta-narrative surrounding his directorial debut, “Exit Through the Gift Shop,” that started at the recent Sundance festival. In Park City, Utah, last month anticipation for the documentary — a survey of the street-art scene that shifts its focus to the man supposedly making a movie about Banksy — was spiked with the appearance of Banksy-like graffiti around town. In Berlin the artist, whose identity remains a closely guarded secret (and a carefully cultivated mystery), raised eyebrows by scheduling a news conference.

Definetly. A donkey cann't become a horse.Shahrukh is a worst actor he became famous because of controverseis and less of his talent.Due to controversy the film's opening was good otherwise within two days you would have seen empty theatres.
Today inIndia it is a trend to create controversy and become millionerie.Even the 3 idiots movie is worst movie but people are ready to become a fool.
Just remeber the dialogue like Balatkar,Tohfa Qubool,and a scene of a delievery of a child. Just imagine that govinda is a hero of this movie and public will say it is " C " grade movie but AAmir has talent to make you fool otherwise you will not be ready to watch this kind of dialogues with you family (mother and sister and wife)
Aamir in the movie and on the other platform says let the do the work of their choice to everyone.But he should remember that pre mature student cann;t take the decision of their life.Aamir keeping his brother in a room with lock why don't he think that let him do what he wants? His first marriage was a love marriage (his own decission in pre-mature age) and result is infront of us.Shahrukh says i will teach love to everyone than why his sister is a bachlour?
