A look at the top tweets from your favourite Bollywood celebrities:

Shah Rukh Khan, who is currently shooting in Iceland for Rohit Shetty’s Dilwale, shared his bucket list with fans on Twitter.

The 49-year-old actor tweeted: ‘Just putting it out there....my amaranthine bucket list. Like I said its perpetually increasing & changing but right now it's this Bucket list 1. Learn the guitar Learn cooking Find a perfect pair of jeans Learn to make five cocktails. Tend to plants Read Papillon again.’

‘Bucket list (cont) Tend 2 plants. Finish book. Sing a song for every mother 2 daughter in the world & make them smile. Learn backflip...again,’ he wrote.

‘Bucket list (last I promise) Invent/do a Noble prize worth thingy??! Know the difference between Sensual and Sensuous. Find a mermaid. Finish book means finish writing the book I have been writing for the last millennium...somebody stop me!!!’ he added.

As interesting as the list sounds, we just can't get past the 'finish book' part.

Just in case the book really IS in the works, we'd like to let SRK know that we can't wait to read it!

SS Rajamouli: Baahubali will not block theatres for false records

Rajamouli’s Baahubali has done unprecedented business at the box-office and is still going strong in theatres.

But the director is strongly opposed to the concept of blocking theatres for his film. 

He wrote: ‘Record number of 50 days, 100 days,175 days are things of past. Today, Films are being released in 1000′s of screens and run is over by 3-4 weeks.

‘Few main screens might still give shares, but mostly the run is over. It is very sad when some fans ask for an extension, sometimes paying out of their pockets and sometimes asking the exhibitors to do so. Friends..! what do we gain out of these false records??’

‘Audience have given us a memorable victory, that we will remember for the rest of our lives. What more do we need? Our industry is plagued by this issue for a long time. Let’s not be a part of it. It is high time we stopped this. Bahubali will run in theatres that are yielding shares.

‘If not, it will make way for other new films to follow. We will NOT block theatres for false records,’ he added.
