Need Salman Khan's support for 'Oh Teri', says Atul Agnihotri

Mumbai: Atul Agnihotri, who considers Salman Khan his lucky charm, will release the trailer of his forthcoming production venture 'Oh Teri' with the latter's 'Jai Ho'.
Actor-turned-director Atul has directed two films so far - 'Dil Ne Jise Apna Kaha' and 'Hello' and both had Salman, but none could entice the box office.
However, when Atul teamed up with the superstar for his production venture 'Bodyguard', it reaped gold at the box office.
Need Salman Khan's support for 'Oh Teri', says Atul Agnihotri

Actor-turned-director Atul has directed two films 'Dil Ne Jise Apna Kaha' and 'Hello' with Salman Khan.

"We will be starting the promotions soon, but the first promotion starts with Salman's 'Jai Ho'," Atul, who has roped in his brother-in-law for a guest appearance in the film, told IANS.
"The trailer of 'Oh Teri' is attached to 'Jai Ho' and I am excited to see the audience's reaction for the trailer. The film is slated for a March 7 release," added the filmmaker who is married to Salman's sister Alvira.
Featuring Anupam Kher, Vijay Raaj, Manoj Pahwa, Mandira Bedi, Sarah Jane Dias and Bilal Amrohi, 'Oh Teri', reportedly a political satire, is being directed by Umesh Bhisht.
The team has yet to shoot Salman's cameo for "Oh Teri". Atul says they have enough time.
"Yes, we need his support and we will shoot with him soon, may be this month. We have lot of time for the release," he said.

Bigg Boss 7: Shocking Truth – Salman Khan VS The Liars

Salman-Khan-912
The final countdown in Bigg Boss 7 has begun, with only three evictions to go; December 14, 21 and 18. The stage is set, the mood is right and the red carpet is waiting for the Grand Finale on December 29,2013.
The eight contestants remaining in the Bigg Boss 7 house are: Tanisha Mukerji, Armaan Kohli, Gauahar Khan, Kushal Tandon, VJ Andy, Sangram Singh, Ajaz Khan and Kamya Punjabi. But, this season has two more names in this list: One is Bigg Boss himself, and second is Salman Khan. Before we get into Bigg Boss and Salman Khan, let’s first start with the others.
This entire week was the most traumatic one, not just for the housemates, but also for their fans outside. The fans of each housemate, the fans of Bigg Boss – the show, and fans of Salman Khan – it is a huge fan-war on social media. The way everyone is reacting, either on Twitter or Facebook or even on the Colors website is seriously insane. Bigg Boss 7 has crossed all lines of chivalry, decency, dignity, grace and respect; the dirt is widespread on the internet, so deep, such that even after years – on Google – the dirt will popup. Even if they want to erase it, it will never go away.
Coming to the housemates: Each single housemate is playing games, barring a few. They are shrewd, they are mean – and they are here to get as much mileage as possible. Some are here to resurrect their dull or dead careers, while some are here just to make pure money.
Here is my analysis of the Top Ten (housemates plus Bigg Boss and Salman Khan), after thoroughly going through thousands of conversations on the internet, and the summary of everything I could decipher from what has been aired so far:
The Shrewd And The Nasty: Without any doubts – Tanisha Mukerji and Gauahar Khan. Both are here to win, and they desperately need the limelight. Their careers are going nowhere, and definitely Bigg Boss 7 is a life changing decision for both. Tanisha and Gauahar have managed to identify an arm-candy for themselves. Both have a game plan.
Look at this: Tanisha has tolerated everything of Armaan, and occasionally she apologizes too for no fault of hers, she has entirely given herself to Armaan’s wish and command. But, by doing so, Tanisha has managed to always keep Armaan on her side. Today, she has three votes in her favor – Armaan, Andy and her own vote.
On the other hand there is Gauahar. She has Kushal, madly, blindly lapped around her, and also has Ajaz running behind her like a lunatic. She too has three votes now – Kushal, Ajaz and her own vote. This is the real game!
The Dumb And The Dumber: Obviously, Armaan Kohli and Kushal Tandon all the way. Armaan’s weakness: possibly needs an ‘YES’ man all the time around him. Plus, he also appears to be ‘sex starved’. Tanisha has identified it very perfectly. Though, Tanisha always comes out clean in the end. She, as an individual, has never come in the limelight. She is in the news, or in the discussions so far because of her being close to Armaan. Ultimately, while putting the gun on Armaan the spotlight is always on her.
Same is with Kushal. His weakness is love, and needs somebody to constantly pamper him. Gauahar has very well identified this. Kushal has always appeared to be a spoilsport, never a healthy competitor, and from the start itself he has always backed out from several tasks, or removed the microphone several times. He is a quitter, and not the one to face the challenge. But before we can know who the real Kushal is, it was too late. Whenever Kushal Tandon will be remembered in future, he shall always be remembered as Gauahar’s boyfriend on Bigg Boss 7. Kushal is looking for an identity, and Gauahar is giving him that.
Thali Ke Baigan: VJ Andy and Ajaz Khan. No doubt they are also the most entertaining ones on Bigg Boss 7, but they are neither here nor there. Earlier Andy was friends with Gauahar, now he is in Tanisha’s group. Though he appears to be close to Sangram Singh, very rarely he has stood up for Sangram. Ajaz on other hand calls himself Gauahar’s friend, but many times he has put Gauahar into trouble. For instance, the toy factory task. He chose to be on Kushal’s side. When Ajaz was in the caravan, he pledged to teach Kushal a lesson, but things changed. He now appears to be best friends with Kushal and less of Gauahar. His behavior is confusing. Nevertheless, Andy and Ajaz are very entertaining, but it ends there. Period.
The Dignified Ones: The only two people who have remained consistent and dignified are Sangram Singh and Kamya Punjabi. Yes, they too have had their share of fights and mood swings – but there is nothing dirty that you can talk about them. Gauahar constantly keeps crediting herself for being fair, but according to the facts and the track records – Sangram and Kamya are the fairest amongst all so far. They are playing a really healthy game, and with dignity. They’ve held their ground very strongly.
Most Biased One: Yes, that’s Bigg Boss himself. He has made different set of rules for different people. Kushal was asked to leave the house for being violent with Andy. Fair enough. Then why Armaan Kohli is still in the house? Armaan has had the ugliest spats with almost everyone. The very recent one with Sofia Hayat. Also, in all previous seasons people were strictly warned if they come out of smoking room and smoke, but Armaan walks around the house. He yells, he abuses, and does all sorts of things, but Bigg Boss just keeps watching him. Maximum that has been done is he would be called in the confession room, politely reprimanded. That’s all.
The Honest, The Forthright: That is Salman Khan for you. Before you read further, just give him a huge round of applause – because he deserves it. The way he did for Kamya when he was watching her ‘toy factory’ act on TV recently. No matter how much people write and argue on Salman Khan, as host of Bigg Boss, the fact remains that it is Salman Khan who pulls in the crowds. TRPs of his weekend episodes don’t just shoot up in India, but also overseas where the episodes are being aired.
The man has tried really hard to drill some sense into the housemates, sometimes jokingly, sometimes by making fun of them, and sometimes directly on their face. Salman Khan on Bigg Boss 7 has gone a step ahead and shared with the housemates his own examples and stories, about how similar mistakes have always landed him in trouble. Salman even once narrated to the housemates how he still can’t erase what was written about him years ago, how being labelled for knee-jerk reactions is almost impossible to get rid of. Honestly answer this one question: In which country, on which show does a host of a reality TV show talk to the contestants who are all there to win like the way Salman talks to them? If there was an intelligent person in place of Kushal, he would have taken all the advices which Salman gave with utmost sensibility and dignity. Salman Khan’s suggestions and advices come from an unbeatable experience, something that even the highest paid PR company or a publicist can’t give. On the contrary, the housemates are getting paid for being on the show, and are also getting guidance where required from Salman Khan, whose job is only to host the show.
The irony is nobody bothered to listen to him. There’s a saying in Hindi, “Ghar ki murgi daal barabar” (You don’t give importance to something that’s easily available to you). This is how the housemates of Bigg Boss 7 treated Salman Khan. And in the end, they made a fool out of themselves.
The most shocking part is what am about to tell you now. From very credible sources we have learnt that the PR guys of certain housemates are behind pulling down Salman Khan. Their goal is only one: to gain all the mileage possible using “brand Salman Khan”. Hundreds of fake accounts have been created, hundreds of unverified conversations are being seeded around, the PR mechanism is on full swing. Calls are being made, texts are being sent, all the favors are being pulled in – just to get few stories against Salman Khan pushed. First put a social media strategist on the job, who are now available at nominal fees, get a certain topic trending. The seeds are now sown. The debate continues, influential people on social media have a task: to push the information further, and then the damage is done. In real life the situation would be like this – hundreds of liars are pushed in a crowd. They shout something in chorus, drawing attention of others. A common tactic often displayed in Bollywood films, where the villain puts his goons in the rally of an honest leader to taint him.
Is winning a reality TV show this important for some? Yes, because their entire careers and life are going to change with the media coverage, the publicity and whatever they can gain using Salman Khan’s name. This is the brutal truth.
Having said the above, all I want to drive home is – do whatever you want to, man! The truth can never be buried. It will always bounce back, it will always come haunting you, because what you give is what you get! Now, over to you!
For all latest, breaking, exclusive, inside news of Bigg Boss 7, stay tuned with u

Is Salman Khan planning solo promotions for Jai Ho?


 Is Salman Khan planning solo promotions for Jai Ho?

While Sallu’s fans eagerly await the trailer of his new film Jai

Is Salman Khan planning solo promotions for Jai Ho? 0 While Sallu’s fans eagerly await the trailer of his new film Jai Ho, here’s some goss… A little birdie tells us that the trailer of Salman Khan’s Jai Ho is likely to release soon. However, the filmmakers want to launch the first promo only with the Dabangg dude, without his leading lady Daisy Shah being present. We hear that the trailer of Jai Ho will be released at a grand event, and Daisy will be nowhere on the scene. Apparently the makers are doing this to create a wave of curiosity in people’s minds. Also, they are planning another gala event at which the entire focus will be on Daisy. Reportedly, the limelight will shift from Sallu to his pretty co-star at the first song launch. Salman Khan had approached Daisy to play the second female lead in Bodyguard but she turned down the offer – Hazel Keech took it on. Jai Ho is the dancer-turned-actor’s Bollywood debut with a full-fledged role. We wonder if that’s why the filmmakers are planning on something special for her public appearance. Salman is currently busy shooting for Sajid Nadiawala’s Kick and has vowed to make time for the trailer launch of Jai Ho. Keep watching this space for more updates on Salman’s much awaited film, Jai Ho!

Daisy Shah, who is the leading lady of Salman Khan's big release next year, JAI HO is being kept under wraps for now.

Daisy Shah will be introduced as the leading lady of JAI HO by Salman Khan at another event, while launching the song that she is a part of. Spokesperson of the film confirmed the news and added that "We are planning something very special for Daisy."

R…Rajkumar Shahid Kapoor unites Sonakshi Sinha with Salman Khan on Bigg Boss




  • It’s no secret that Sonakshi Sinha is Salman Khan’s favourite co-star. Sonakshi is busy promoting her new film R…Rajkumar opposite Shahid Kapoor and visited him on the sets of Bigg Boss. 
    Sonakshi Sinha made her Bollywood debut with Bigg Boss host Salman Khan in Dabangg and carried on as his leading lady in Dabangg 2. Though Sonakshi Sinha shared the screen space with Saif Ali Khan in Bullett Raja and is now romancing Shahid Kapoor in R…Rajkumar, Sonakshi and Salman continue to share a special bond. 
    R…Rajkumar actor Shahid Kapoor led Sonakshi Sinha and Prabhu Deva to the sets of Bigg Boss 7 to meet Salman Khan.  
    Sonakshi Sinha looked beautiful in a navy blue gown as she matched steps with Salman and Shahid to dance together on “Tu Mere Agal Bagal Hai” from Shahid Kapoor’s film Phata Poster Nikhla Hero. 
    Alas, the Bigg Boss house inmates missed all the fun.

When asked by Karan Johar in the rapid fire round what should Priyanka Chopra do if not in the film industry, Salman initially said that she should be a singer. But he was quick to add, ''She should be a housewife. She will make a lovely wife.''

Salman also said that he was shocked when pictures of Priyanka Chopra visiting his house in the middle of one night, were leaked in the press.

''I was like 'Whoa, what is this? I thought ki light hi chali gayi. You keep quiet and you're taken as guilty and you can't talk all the time as you also have work commitments,'' said a visibly angered Salman.

With so many explosive exposes, it seems that Koffee With Karan's latest season has begun on a perfect note!

Elli Avram's dream: A film with Salman Khan



Elli Avram, who got eliminated from Bigg Boss7 never expected to last this long in the show. “I thought I will be evicted in the first week itself,” she says. Nevertheless, she is sad to be out because a few weeks more and she would have made it to the finale. “Yes, but I guess I was not providing any entertainment compared to the others, so I got out,” reasons Elli who was one of the most genial contestants in the house. She got along well with pretty much everybody and made a few close friends in Hazel, Ratan Rajput, Andy and Sangram Singh.

“Ratan was completely down-to-earth. Talking to her was like talking to my family,” says the Mickey Virus actress. Andy, she says, was the one who cheered her the most when she was feeling low.
Tell her that she also seemed to be a favourite of  host Salman Khan and she says, “I am grateful to Salman for every nice thing that he said. The biggest compliment he gave me was that I look more Indian than any other contestant in the house.” What about being compared to Katrina Kaif? “Wow, that was a huge thing for me. I have always liked Katrina, she is hardworking and a good actress,” she says. So, does she see any chances of being in a Salman film? “That will be a dream come true,” she smiles.

Bigg Boss contestant Elli Avram is getting maximum votes. Courtesy Salman Khan fans?

Salman also promoted her film Mickey Virus and compared her to Katrina Kaif!
Elli Avram, a virtual unknown, amidst ‘celebrities’ in the Bigg Boss house, is recieving a huge number of votes. The foreign import, and heroine of Mickey Virus is getting love from Salman Khan fans. That she is a favourite is something he has not bothered to conceal on the national television.
On her part, Elli is going all out to impress the host Salman. From crooning romantic numbers Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam to dancing to Fevicol Se (both songs are from his films) this contestant is leaving no stone unturned to charm the superstar.
Right from the opening episode, Salman has been open about his fondness for her. He also generously promoted her film Mickey Virus and praised her performance. Last weekend, he told Sunny Deol, who had come on the sets to promote his film, that Elli was a replica of Katrina in her initial Bollywood days. Now, whether Salman casts Elli for his next movie, considering his penchant for launching new girls, remains to be seen, but in the meantime Elli is in a win-win situation. His liking for her has spawned a huge voting bank for the pretty girl.
The Greek-Swedish actress has managed to outstay popular TV stars like Ratan Rajput and Balika Vadhu actress Pratyusha Banerjee. Last week, when Salman asked the eliminated Pratyusha to name the shrewdest person in the house, pat came the reply, “Elli” and then she coyly added, “Sorry.” When Salman asked her why she was apologising, she smiled knowingly!
A source says that Elli has been getting maximum votes to continue in the house. “Salman’s fans have been voting for her as they think bhai likes her.” Says another source,“She has been getting votes from day one, irrespective of the Salman connection.” The channel, however, refused to
comment.]

Does Arbaaz Khan prefer Katrina Kaif over Salman Khan?

Salman Khan-Arbaaz Khan-Katrina Kaif

Well, seems so from the latest goss…Read on to find out!

Salman Khan has handheld his brothers, Arbaaz and Sohail, for a long time, but not anymore. Arbaaz Khan wants to start with his next installment of Dabbang, but thanks to Salman’s blocked schedule over the next two years, the movie might see light of the day not before mid 2015.
Meanwhile Arbaaz has decided to make a women centric film, which would have a lesser famous hero alongside a top starlet from the industry. A little birdie tells us that Arbaaz has approached Katrina Kaif for the role. Although Katrina has prominently not featured in any of Arbaaz’s previously produced films, this might be a first one.
It is said that the script of the movie has been locked and it would not have Salman for even a cameo. Arbaaz Khan said to a leading daily, “It’s a strong woman-oriented story and doesn’t need any starry props.” This clearly gives airs to some tiff between the two brothers. What do you think

Genelia D’souza to play Salman Khan’s sister in Jai Ho?

Jai Ho
The actor will do a cameo in Salman’s much talked about film When Kareena Kapoor Khan was at Salman Khan’s Bigg Boss 7 recently, she jokingly gifted the script of Dabangg 10 to Salman and asked him to cast her in the film. However Salman who as always was in a wicked mood, took a whip at Bebo and replied that she will have to play the role of his mother in the film. So we now hear that another young married actor has bagged a role in Sallu’s upcoming film. What role will Salman have for her then?
Genelia D’souza has been missing from the silver screen for quite some now, but Genny fans here’s some good news. Ms. D’Souza Deshmukh is ready for films and is all set to comeback. The Deshmukh bahu will do a cameo in Salman’s upcoming film Jai Ho which is being directed by Sallu’s brother Sohail Khan. Will she play Salman’s love interest in the film? Will she be given the role of Dabangg Khan’s sister considering her marital status?
We certainly hope that Sallu doesn’t decide to give the chirpy cute Genelia his sis’ role, after all hadn’t he offered the very sexy Bebo his mother’s role?

Does Elli Avram have a soft corner for Salman Khan?

 
Zee Media Bureau/ Gayatri Sankar

Mumbai: Elli Avram has more foes than friends inside the house of ‘Bigg Boss 7’.

The pretty lass, who is all set to sizzle on the silverscreen with her debut Hindi film ‘Mickey Virus’ opposite Manish Paul, seems to be in awe of Salman Khan.

Inmates Kamya Punjabi, Tanishaa and Pratyusha often take a dig at Elli for her antics while Gauhar is the only one who has lend a helping hand to the foreigner.

The Swedish beauty, who is otherwise quite good at speaking Hindi, has irked many of her fellow inmates who think that Elli pretends that she doesn’t understand the language when the Bollywood hunk interacts with her on the show.

Elli comes across as someone who is quite a charmer and converses well in Hindi with the inmates of the house. Kamya Punjabi feels Elli acts naive in front of Salman, the host of the popular reality show.

This weekend, when the Bollywood heavyweight interacted with the inmates of the house, he too showed a liking for her. Elli too admitted that she would like to work with Salman, after Manish Paul, her first co-star, said that he has no reservations in letting Elli work with the superstar.

Are you looking forward to seeing Elli romance Salman onscreen? Let us know.

Bigg Boss 7, Day 28: Salman Khan dances on Aishwarya Rai's song

Javed Jaffery and Sharman Joshi enter the house to promote 'War Chhodo Na Yaar'

In the fouth week, after Ratan Rajput bid a tearful goodbye to the Bigg Boss house, Weekend's Wow with Salman will see Salman celebrate Dassera (Hindu festival) with the audiences as he grooves to 'Dhol Baaje' from his film 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam' opposite Aishwarya Rai. 
 
Adding to the festivities will be the cast of 'War Chhodo Na Yaar' - Sharman Joshi and Javed Jaffery who entered the Bigg Boss house to ease the tensions and spend some quality time with the contestants. 
 
Being the first piece of the outside world that the contestants have encountered since they entered the Bigg Boss house 4 weeks ago, the contestants were elated to see some new faces.
 
 
('War Chhodo Na Yaar' actor Javed Jaffery and Sharman Joshi inside the confession room.)
 
To add to the entertainment quotient, Javed Jaffery and Sharman Joshi were given a red bag consisting of various props that the contestants were urged to match to the personalities of their fellow housemates. 
 
While Andy was given a multi-coloured wig much like that of a clown, Asif was presented with a stick of butter to compliment his nickname Buttercup. However, it was Elli who was at the receiving end of many jokes as she was presented with a tubelight and a hand mirror to match with her personality.
 
 
(Javed Jaffery and Sharman Joshi interacting with the house inmates.)
 
After bidding adieu to the contestants, Javed Jaffery and Sharman Joshi stepped out of the house with some great memories which they shared with Salman Khan. 
In fact, on Salman’s insistence, Javed Jaffery and Sharman Joshi provided a voiceover to the much spoken about fight between contestants Armaan Kohli and Andy. 
 
Their hilarious take on the interaction left everyone in splits and raised the humour element in the show by several notches. 
 
Further, Bigg Boss invited Elli to the confession room and little did she know that her Mickey Virus co-star, Manish Paul was waiting there for her. After a brief interaction, Manish and Elli showcased their on-screen chemistry in front of Salman Khan. 
 
(Manish and Ell perform in Bigg Boss house.)
 
To make the day more entertaining, contestants were urged to adopt alternative personalities and act them out. While Andy and Sangram reversed roles, Tanisha was also seen behaving like Shilpa and Pratyusha was seen acting like Kamya.
 
Finally, Ratan Rajput walked onto the stage with an ice-cream surprise for all her fellow contestants still residing inside the house. Upon her exit, Ratan was given the unique opportunity to award an Angel Tag and a Devil Tag to the housemates where she chose Elli as the angel and Tanisha as the devil. 
 
After getting a glimpse into a special video that highlighted the contestants who had spoken nominated Ratan and spoken ill about her behind her back, Ratan had an argument with Kamya who seemed to be leading most of the negative conversations.
 
The final twist in the tale was given when the Bigg Bomb was introduced and Ratan was given the power to select one housemate who would not only find themselves at the helm of elimination, but would also ban them from participating in the coming week’s nominations procedure. 
 
After much contemplation, Ratan took a decision – one that can only be labelled as a complete gamechanger!
 

Bigg Boss 7: Salman Khan warns Tanisha, Armaan of prying cameras

New Delhi: After Ratan Rajput was ousted from the Bigg Boss house, 'Weekend Ka Wow With Salman Ke Saath 7' saw Salman Khan joining the inmates for Dussehra celebrations. While Salman enlivened the atmosphere in the house with his dance performance, the cast of 'War Chhodo Na Yaar' - Sharman Joshi and Javed Jaffery - joined the inmates to cheer them up. Since the contestants, who had only witnessed confrontations, spats and backstabbing ever since they entered the house, met new people for the first time and so, it was obvious for them to be overexcited. To entertain the contestants, Javed Jaffery and Sharman Joshi were given a red bag of props that the contestants were asked to match to the personalities of their fellow housemates. While Asif was given a stick of butter to compliment his moniker Buttercup, Andy was handed over a multi-coloured wig, which the clowns usually put on. But it was Elli who was mocked for receiving a tubelight and a hand mirror which, as Bigg Boss said, worked in consonance with her personality. But what had everyone in splits was the voiceover which Javed Jaffery and Sharman Joshi gave to the much talked about argument between Armaan Kohli and Andy. Bigg Boss 7: Salman Khan warns Tanisha, Armaan of prying cameras Contestants Tanisha and Armaan fail to hide their closeness in Bigg Boss house. Later, Elli was invited to the confession room by Bigg Boss where she met her Mickey Virus co-star Manish Paul. After a short interface, Manish and Elli flaunted their on-screen chemistry. To add more fun to the day, contestants were asked to take on alternative personalities and act them out. While Andy and Sangram reversed roles, Tanisha and Pratyusha enacted Shilpa and Kamya respectively. Interestingly, Salman Khan, who shares a great rapport with Tanisha and Armaan, warned them of cameras installed in the house. Lastly, Ratan Rajput was called on the stage with an ice-cream surprise for all the inmates. Post her elimination, Ratan was given the chance to award an Angel Tag and a Devil Tag to the inmates. While Elli was chosen as the angel, Tanisha, as Ratan said, was the house's devil. After Ratan watched a special video that brought to light the contestants who back stabbed her, she argued with Kamya who initiates most of the negative conversations. Ratan may have been at the receiving of Bigg Boss groupism and manoeuvrings, but with Bigg Boss' help she got to avenge her elimination. On being given the power to select one housemate for elimination, she chose Tanisha. In addition to being nominated for elimination, Tanisha has also been banned from participating in the coming week's nominations procedure.

Imam Siddique slams Salman Khan... again?

Looks like old player of Bigg Boss Imam Siddique is not happy with the current contestants of Bigg Boss. Since they aren't exciting enough for Imam, the motormouth thought, he could well use the opportunity to get all the possible spotlights on him.
Imam recently took to Facebook to express how disappointed he was with Salman Khan.

During his stay in the house last season, Imam shared an unpleasant equation with the host Salman Khan and he's still not over it as yet. He took to Facebook to express how disappointed he was with Sallu mian.

Imam's FB page read:

"F.Y.I: to whomsoever this may concern. Mr. Salman Khan has stated in an interview that I had no work prior to bigg boss hence was frustrated. Factually inaccurate."

It further read, "As a matter of fact, it was me that Salman had hired as a choreographer for a film that he was acting in and producing before he signed his first ever feature film. The actress was none other than my dear friend Ericca De Sousa Vohra & the co producer/ director was Mishal Varma. Incidentally I have yet to be paid for that assignment. After this first ever unpleasant experience in #bollywood, I realised I 'n e v e r' wanted to work in bollywood (sic)."

"Another point that I'd like to clarify is that I was called for bigg boss season 1 as a casting director, by Mr. Arjun Menon but since I was already on contract with Eskimo models at the time I turned them down. Every year since, I have been approached for the seasons but constantly declined.
Last year because I was told it would be a parivarik family oriented show I decided to agree to go in as a wild card entry. Yes I did message Salman cause I saw that contestants in the house were disrespecting the platform and the opportunity. Claiming that they could make Rs.50 lakhs in a couple of projects and need not have to suffer the indignity of 72 hours of physical labour due to a task that too on the auspicious occasion of dhanteras. I messaged Salman to say that they had hired incompetent idiots who did not deserve to be there and I was keen to go. Over to you Mr. Khan..(sic)"

Imam Siddique who remained till the the finale of Bigg Boss last season had earlier apologised to Salman Khan over his misdeeds on the show.

But, some people never change! Time out.

How did Salman Khan help Himesh Reshammiya?

Salman Khan helped Himesh Reshammiya

The multifaceted composer-singer will compose music for the Dabangg dude’s next

It’s stale goss that Salman Khan and Sooraj Barjatya are coming together after 15 years for his untitled next. Now we hear that Himesh Reshammiya will compose music for Salman’s film while Irshad Kamil will write the lyrics.
Usually Sooraj’s films include Indian folk and classical music. So how did Himesh bag Barjatya’s project? Apparently, Sallu put in a good word for Himesh to the director and well, who can ignore Salman’s wish. Himesh has given music to Sallu’s films in the past. The two had even had a fallout but they buried the hatchet in 2011, when Himesh composed the music for Salman’s Bodyguard
We hope we get some good music from Salman and Himesh this time!

Salman Khan's hit-and-run case: Court rejects activist's plea


A sessions court today rejected the plea of a social activist seeking to intervene in the 2002 hit-and-run case allegedly involving actor Salman Khan to help the prosecution in the trial.
Judge S D Deshpande ruled that only an aggrieved party, complainant or witness had a right to intervene.
In this case, the applicant, Santosh Daundkar, was neither a witness, complainant nor an aggrieved party. Hence, he could not be allowed to intervene, the court said.
The court also rejected Daundkar's another plea seeking transfer of his complaint from magistrate court to sessions court about perjury action against Salman and police for allegedly producing wrong witnesses in this case, as a result of which the trial was delayed.
The judge held that he had no jurisdiction to transfer the complaint. He asked the applicant to approach a higher court or the Principal Judge of Sessions Court in this regard.
On Salman's plea for a direction to media to report true and fair proceedings of the 2002 hit-and-run case, the court deferred its order till October 15 saying the Bombay High Court was seized of this matter.
The court said that Salman had already moved the High Court by filing a defamation and civil suit against some media channels for allegedly not correctly reporting the proceedings of the case. As the matter was pending in High Court, the sessions court did not give any ruling on the actor's plea.
The judge observed the high court had already given an interim ruling that the media should provide a fair and objective reporting in the case involving the film star.
Salman's lawyer Shrikant Shivade argued that the media was biased against the actor and was not reporting correctly the court proceedings.
This had tarnished the image of Salman in the eyes of public, he alleged and urged the media be directed to report true and fair proceedings in the case.
On October 15, the court would hear Salman's lawyer and prosecution on whether the trial should begin afresh or evidence adduced earlier by the Magistrate should be considered by the sessions court.

Movies Salman Khan gets Himesh Reshammiya to compose for his Sooraj Barjatya's next

If he is a worst enemy then he is a best friend too! Salman Khan can do anything for his friends! It was Salman Khan who introduced Himesh Reshammiya in the industry and made him a hit by composing for his films like PYAAR KIYA TOH DARNA KYA, HELLO BROTHER, TERE NAAM, MAINE PYAAR KYUN KIYA, etc. Though there was a time when the duo's relation went sour, they got back together with 2011 blockbuster film BODYGUARD. And they were again back to being good buddies. Salman once again got Himesh for composing music of his upcoming film AZAAD (earlier titled MENTAL). He recently even signed Himesh for his upcoming film Kick.



SALMAN KHAN, HIMESH RESHAMMIYA and SOORAJ BARJATYA

SALMAN KHAN,  SOORAJ BARJATYA and HIMESH RESHAMMIYA




And now we hear, at the behest of Salman Khan, Sooraj Barjatya (Salman's yet another good friend, who gave him his first superhit film MAINE PYAR KIYA) has roped in music composer Himesh Reshammiya to compose the music of his upcoming film. The film (untitled), which is set to go on floors next year, will see Salman Khan team up with the director after 15 long years. Previously, the duo has given superhits like MAINE PYAR KIYA (1989), HUM AAPKE HAIN KOUN..! (1994), HUM SAATH-SAATH HAIN: We Stand United (1999).

The film will go on floor in June 2014 and the producers are looking at a Diwali (2015) release.

An official from Rajshri Productions said: ''Himesh will compose the music and Irshad Kamil (of JAB WE MET, LOVE AAJ KAL, ROCKSTAR and AASHIQUI 2 fame) will pen the lyrics.'' It is an unlikely choice for the Barjatyas, who are known to stick to traditional Indian folk and classical music, while Himesh's strong point has been highly charged electronic music. The buzz is that it was Salman who convinced Sooraj.''

Well, all we can say is Friend Ho Toh Salman Jaisa!

Move over Shah Rukh Khan, Karan Johar invites Salman Khan to be his guest on Koffee With Karan

If the buzz is to be believed, then Salman is expected to make an appearance on Karan Johar's upcoming show Koffee With Karan, which starts its fourth season in December 2013.
After the famous Shah Rukh Khan-Salman Khan patch-up this Eid, Bollywood is likely to witness another high-profile reunion.

If the buzz is to be believed, then Salman is expected to make an appearance on Karan Johar's upcoming show Koffee With Karan, which starts its fourth season in December 2013.

While the first two seasons of the show kicked off with Karan's close friend Shah Rukh as guest, the fourth edition of the show may have Salman as the first guest.

According to a report, Karan is said to have asked Salman to be a guest on his show when the duo met on the sets of dance reality show Jhalak Dikhlaa Jaa 7, where the actor was promoting his reality show Bigg Boss 7.

The enormously popular celeb chat show has seen many Bollywood personalities bare their hearts.

Karan has interviewed biggies like Shahrukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai, Abhishek Bachchan, Rani Mukherjee, Hema Malini and Zeenat Aman.

With Salman as a guest, the chat show is set for a bigger launch this season.

While Karan is at it, may we suggest bringing Shah Rukh and Salman together on the show.

A miffed Salman Khan throws fan’s mobile out on the road


Zee Media Bureau/Resham Sengar
New Delhi: Controversy’s favourite child — Salman Khan — has once again courted news headlines owing to his moody and hot-headed temperament.

It all happened outside the Lilavati hospital, where Salman Khan had come to meet an ailing Dilip Kumar. But looking at the press and horde of fans outside the hospital premises, Salman decided not to venture out of his car. But when Salman was driving away in his car, he came across a fan clicking pictures without permission. Miffed over this act, Salman opened his car window, asked the fan to hand over his mobile and threw it away much to the shock of the fan and others present on the spot.

Speaking to the press, the fan expressed his dismay over the incident. He said that what Salman did was not right.

More on this episode later.

Is Ranbir Kapoor scared of Salman Khan?


Is Ranbir Kapoor scared of Salman Khan?

At a recent event, RK cleared the air about using Salman’s name in his upcoming film

When Besharam trailer was out, what made to the headlines was that Ranbir Kapoor has made fun of Salman Khan and Shahrukh Khan in the trailer. Well, the young lad has tried justifying the scenes… at least one scene!
Ranbir said, “There was an article which stated that we’ve made fun of Salman Khan. That’s not true.” He added, “My father’s character in the film is called Chulbul Chautala and in one of the scenes he says ‘Babli (Ranbir’s character) chod de mujhe. Main tujhe nahi chodunga’. Reacting to this I say, ‘Sirf Chulbul naam rakhnese koi Dabangg nahi ban jaata’. So it is for the character. We aren’t trying to make fun of someone.”
Well, while this Kapoor lad has justified that the filmmakers aren’t trying to make fun of Salman Khan, we wonder why he hasn’t justified the scene which offended SRK’s fans. Looks like Ranbir is scared of only one Khan in Bollywood!

Salman Khan: Being fake is pointless in 'Bigg Boss'



In its original version, the popularity of Big Brother lay in the contestants they got and the drama that ensued inside the house. While that formula worked for the desi Bigg Boss initially, ever since Salman Khan took over as show host in the fourth season, he has turned it into a bigger attraction.
The official launch of the latest season, called Bigg Boss Saath 7 which goes on air on September 15, looked more like an event to show off Khan's trademark wit and widespread appeal.
The actor made an entry dancing to Pandey ji seeti from Dabangg 2. There is word that the current season will see some notorious contestants from earlier seasons, including Dolly Bindra, recreate "hell on earth". Apart from that, television actors Kamya Punjabi, Pratyusha Banerjee (who played Anandi in Balika Vadhu but was unceremoniously booted out by Colors) and Apoorva Agnihotri with wife Shilpa Saklani are likely to go to the Bigg Boss house this season. Actor Gauhar Khan, ex-Roadies contestant Palak Johal and wrestler Sangram Singh are possible contenders.
With Bigg Boss Saath 7 in the offing, Salman Khan talks about why he continues to host it
This season's concept revolves around heaven and hell. Elaborate.
It's just a publicity gimmick by Colors to rope in viewers for the current season.
Bigg Boss Season 6 was promoted as a show for the family audience. How about this season?
We keep saying so in order to get family audience. But sometimes the show goes overboard, which the channel officials love. I don't like it but as a host, it is not my job to stop it from happening.
What brings you back to hosting it then season after season?
I love shooting once a week. But, there's always something one can take back from this show because the incidents that happen inside the Bigg Boss house also happen in real life.

Salman Khan to earn Rs 2 crore in name of God




They take home big pay cheques for dancing at weddings, so why not earn a buck while shaking a leg for the gods? The Navratri season has become the latest money-spinner for Bollywood stars and there are big bucks involved.
As usual Salman Khan is among the top earners and he recently recieved a request from Gujarat to make an appearance at a Navratri pandal. The whopping amount demanded by Salman bordered on approximately Rs 2 crore and the organisers were more than happy to give the actor the big pay cheque for a half-an-hour appearance.

Rs5 crore per episode for Bigg Boss season 7? Salman Khan says it is more

The actor is said to have doubled the money he was charging for the previous season for the Colors show but Salman wants to keep the media guessing about his pay cheque.
Salman Khan says he is charging more than the reported five crore sum per episode for hosting celebrity reality show Bigg Boss season 7.
The actor is said to have doubled the money he was charging for the previous season for the Colors show but Salman wants to keep the media guessing about his pay cheque.
When asked whether he was getting five crore per episode, Salman joked, "'Kam hai... figure kam hai, jyaada charge kar raha hoon' (The figure is less, I am charging more)." Salman, 47, who returns as the host for the fourth time on the show, will play a double role of an angel and devil to the contestants holed up in 'Bigg Boss' house for three months.
The actor said it will not be a tough call for him because he has small doses of both inside him.
"There is nothing unique in the show. It is just that we have this new concept of hell and heaven. I play a double role in it and will bring out the difference through my body language only. 'Ab baar baar costume change karna to mushkil hai na' (It would be difficult to change costume each time.)," Salman told PTI in an interview.
"We all have two sides both devilish and angelic but it depends totally on us how good we can be in bringing the goodness in us and suppressing the bad side. It's going to be fun and entertaining for me," Salman said.
Last season saw Salman trying his best to make contestants like Imam Siddiqui and Rajeev Paul behave properly. Salman said he would try his best to keep a rein on contestants' behavious this time too.
"Though it's not my job to control them (contestants) on the show, I do it so that the blame should not come on me. If I don't stop them from behaving badly then people will think that I promote such behaviour. In normal life it is not a big deal but behaving badly on a prime time show is not permissible at all because families watch it," he said.
Salman believes the show has helped many celebrities to get a new lease of career.
"Many actors have got an image makeover after their participation on the show. There are many in our industry, who are stuck without their fault. The biggest example is Rahul Bhatt. When he entered the show, people thought he will give solid entertainment to the show. But he clarified his part on the day two of his arrival," Salman said.
The actor feels the contestants who create nuisance are not accepted well when they come out of the show.
"'Bigg Boss' is a family entertaining show. The show has nothing to do with small town or big town. Everything is so magnified on television and print that many contestants feel they will get a career high.
"They think by doing that they will get noticed but people will be wary of them. When they will come out they will not get many offers. Nobody wants to work with an erratic person.
It's important for them to control themselves," he said.
Bigg Boss will start airing from September 15.

I would like to choreograph Salman Khan in a Ganapati song: Amrita Maitra

I would like to choreograph Salman Khan in a Ganapati song: Amrita Maitra



Amrita Maitra, who choreographed Kris Srikkanth in Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, was in Kolkata to call out to every dance enthusiast to audition for Dance India Dance Season 4. When we asked her who she would like to choreograph in Bollywood, she said, "I would love to choreograph Shahid Kapoor and Sonakshi Sinha. Shahid likes to go all out while rehearsing while Sonakshi is hard working and bindaas. She is also very fast in picking up steps. Then, I would also like to choreograph for Salman. I don't know if I would get this opportunity, but I would like to choreograph Salman, Shahid and Sonakshi in a full Bollywood song, preferably a Ganapati song." Amrita, who has met Salman thrice in different shows, said, "People think Salman gets angry very fast, but that is not true. He is a completely different person. Once, he came on DID Lil Masters, where I was a master, and I saw him becoming a kid with kids."

Amrita has also choreographed shows for Priyanka Chopra and Ram Charan Teja. When asked about her experience, she said, 'Priyanka's is all about styling whereas Ram is an amazing dancer. He is crazily good." Listing her favourite choreographers, The DDA official card choreographer said that she loves Remo D'Souza and Shiamak Davar. "Shiamak tells you what he thinks. He might sound blunt sometime, but then he helps you improve. He once told me that I am a dramebaaz and should try my luck in Bollywood." 
 

Abhinav Kashyap Takes Swipe at Salman Khan for Forgetting Dialogues, Praises Ranbir Kapoor


"Besharam" director Abhinav Kashyap in a recent interview revealed that Salman Khan differs from Ranbir Kapoor and often forgot his lines.

Kashyap, who had directed Salman Khan in blockbuster "Dabanng", is known to share cold vibes with the actor, which led the former to opt out of the film's sequel "Dabanng 2".

When asked of a comparison between the two actors, Kashyap took a swipe at Salman saying, "Salman never rehearses and often forgets his lines. He is very spontaneous, though. A lot of times, even the director is in the dark - we don't know what he'd say in a particular scene until he goes ahead and says it. But that works for him," reported Pune Mirror.

"On the other hand, Ranbir is the most hardworking actor I have seen. He rehearses meticulously, sometimes days in advance," he added.

And when asked of his take on debutant director Arbaaz Khan's "Dabanng 2", Kashyap was quite a cynic. "To be fair to Arbaaz, he didn't do a bad job at all with Dabangg 2. He got the rewards for it, while he also faced the brunt, as comparisons were inevitable," he said.

Salman Khan forgets his lines while Ranbir is the most hardworking actor, says Abhinav Kashyap

Who doesn't know about the infamous cold war between director Abhinav Kashyap and Salman Khan.

They teamed up for Dabangg and rocked the box office but after that Abhinav Kashyap and Salman Khan parted ways. Kashyap walked out of Dabangg and Arbaaz Khan took over the film's direction.

Now Abhinav, who has directed Besharam with Ranbir in lead role, has told a leading daily that Salman often forgets his lines.

In an interview to a leading daily, when asked about difference in working with Salman and Ranbir, Abhinav said, "Salman never rehearses and often forgets his lines. He is very spontaneous, though. A lot of times, even the director is in the dark - we don't know what he'd say in a particular scene until he goes ahead and says it."

While about Ranbir, Abhinav was all praises: "Ranbir is the most hardworking actor I have seen. He rehearses meticulously, sometimes days in advance."

Salman's fans are already upset with the trailer of Besharam in which Ranbir says, "Sirf Chulbul naam rakhne se koi Dabangg nahi ban jaata". Now with this comparison Abhinav has added fuel to the fire.

What do you think?

Salman Khan's ex girlfriends Katrina Kaif and Sangeeta Bijlani joined the Khan-daan for the Ganpati visarjan on Tuesday (September 10).
Also joining the celebrations at Salman Khan's home was his Dabangg co-star Sonakshi Sinha.


This year Salman Khan and family decided to host the Ganesh Chaurthi celebrations at Arpita's residence in the suburbs because of renovation work at his Bandra residence.
While Sangeeta Bijlani is a regular face at most of the Khan get togethers, Katrina Kaif has kept her distance from Salman as well as the family recently.

Even after their breakup, Salman and Katrina maintained a close relationship till the rumours of her cozying upto Ranbir Kapoor surfaced.
Apparently, Katrina Kaif was no longer invited to any of the family functions.
However, looks like she has finally made her peace with Salman and his family. According to reports, Katrina is very close to Arpita and she is often seen hanging out with her.
But to everyone's surprise Ranbir's sister Riddhima Kapoor was spotted at Salman Khan's residence on Ganesh Chaturthi with her daughter Samara.

Salman Khan’s Ganpati changes address, yet again

Salman Khan’s Ganpati changes address, yet again
Earlier, Salman Khan's family had decided to host Lord Ganesha at their Panvel farmhouse with the family's Bandra home under renovation.

Now the celebrations have changed venue once again and the family will bring in the festivities at the actor's sister Alvira Khan's Bandra apartment.

A source close to the family said that the plan was changed as the Khans feared that too many locals may drop by at Panvel farmhouse.

Confirming this, Salim Khan said, "Also, we always have friends and relatives coming over for Ganpati darshan. Panvel is quite far for everyone to drop by."

This is the 12th year that Salman is hosting the elephant-headed God and the tradition was started at the insistence of Arpita, the youngest of the siblings.

"Arpita is in charge again and the celebrations which start today will continue for one-and-a-half days," Salman's father added.
 
 

Photo: When Salman Khan dined with Iulia Vantur

Photo: When Salman Khan dined with Iulia Vantur
It’s a strange coincidence. On the one hand we are swamped with images of Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor living it up as a couple in love, on the other, photos of Salman Khan with his rumoured ladylove Iulia Vantur too have begun to trickle in.

After giving you a glimpse of Salman Khan and the Romanian news anchor Iulia Vantur at a picnic spot together in this photo, we bring you a snap that shows the two dining together along with friends and family members.

In the snap taken a while back, Iulia is seen sitting to the right of Salman and digging into her dinner.

Reportedly, Salman Khan is quite touchy about how Iulia is represented in the media. A few days back, the 47-year-old superstar was said to be angry over a media report that dredged up Iulia’s romantic past and even claimed that she was married.

Iulia and Salman have known each other for over two years, but their friendship never caught as much attention as it has lately.

Iulia was in India for the last few months and has now returned to Romania where she anchors a morning news show. She has reportedly denied dating Salman. Meanwhile, Salman Khan too is headed to Glasgow to shoot for director Sajid Nadiadwala’s film Kick.

Do we see Salman and Iulia bonding in Europe? Imagine coming across pictures of Salman and Iulia on a beach. And putting them alongside those of Katrina and Ranbir on a Spanish sea shore! Strange coincidence it would be, indeed.

Salman Khan to romance a de-glam Jacqueline Fernandez in 'Kick'

Salman Khan to romance a de-glam Jacqueline Fernandez in 'Kick'
Jacqueline Fernandez's forthcoming movie Kick will see her in a de-glam role. The actress will play a girl-next-door opposite Salman Khan in the movie.

Sri Lankan beauty Jacqueline Fernandez is shedding her glamorous image for her role in Salman Khan-starrer "Kick". She says she is trying to fit into the image of a girl-next-door.

"I am trying to better myself so I can be a little more spontaneous...Even physically, for the role we are trying to fit into something that is a little more girl-next-door," the 28-year-old said here Friday at the press conference of Enchanted Valley Carnival music festival.

"I am trying to move away and break free of the image I had in 'Race 2', which was a little more action-packed and glamorous. So, a lot of work has to go in physically and mentally," she added.

Jacqueline Fernandez has also been taking Urdu lessons for the film.

Being directed by Sajid Nadiadwala, "Kick" also stars Randeep Hooda. It is currently slated for release in July 2014.

Says a source, "Salman's contract with the brand ended some time ago and the brand was on the lookout for a new face.

Nargis Fakhri Opposite Salman Khan In Sooraj Barjatya’s Next?

NARGIS-SALMAN06092013

MUMBAI: Salman Khan’s association with Sooraj Barjatya goes a long way back, and Prem in whatever forms has been an immortal character.
Now Salman Khan will be back with Sooraj Barjatya in his next, rumoured to be titled ‘Bade Bhaiyya’. And the buzz is that Nargis Fakhri may be close to playing the lead opposite Salman Khan in the film.
Earlier, apparently, Sooraj Barjatya wanted to sign on ‘Cocktail’s Diana Penty for the role. There were also rumours that Ileana D’cruz has been signed on opposite Salman Khan.
Then ‘Madras Cafe’ happened. A source says, “’Madras Cafe’ released and the important players from Sooraj’s office liked her performance. It was then decided to narrate the script to her and organise an audition.”
Meanwhile, Nargis Fakhri, too, is enthused about the role. The source adds, “She is hoping she bags the role as it’s a big project with Salman Khan returning once again in his popular character Prem. However, an official announcement will be made soon.”
The film is scheduled to shoot in the latter half of 2014, with a release in mid-2015. Salman Khan’s fans eagerly await a romantic Prem on the silver screen again.
