Salman Khan in the wish list of Deepika Padukone

IKLAN

She began her Bollywood journey with Shah Rukh Khan in `Om Shanti Om` but it is actor Salman Khan, who is on the wish list of Deepika Padukone.

"I am really looking forward to work with Salman," Deepika told reporters.

"In fact we were supposed to be paired up much earlier but then a couple of films didn`t quite work out. That`s sad but I am sure that in near future, we would be paired opposite each other," said the actress, who will next be seen with Farhan Akhtar in `Karthik Calling Karthik`.

The 23-year-old has already worked with hotshots like Akshay Kumar `Chandni Chowk To China` and Saif Ali Khan `Love Aaj Kal` and will next be seen opposite Abhishek Bachchan, Imran Khan and Neil Nitin Mukesh in `Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Se`, `Break Ke Baad` and YRF`s untitled film respectively.

Meanwhile, one wonders what happened to a film called `Kick` which was rumoured to be featuring Salman and Deepika together. The remake of the namesake Telugu film, it was supposed to be produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and directed by AR Murugadoss of `Ghajini` fame.

"It is plain rumour. Reports of me working with Salman in `Kick` are untrue. In fact I haven`t been offered any such film", the actress said.

While Deepika`s track record shows that she has been enjoying a release once every six months ever since the release of `Om Shanti Om`, the frequency is all set to
increase in the coming months.

Soon after `Karthik Calling Karthik` (February), Deepika would be seen in `Housefull` (April). Either `Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Se` or her film with Neil Nitin Mukesh would be
her next release thereafter. Incidentally, both the films are being shot at a brisk pace.

With so much work happening and no play, isn`t she worried of burn out? Doesn`t she fear getting all tired and worn out with so much work happening month after month?

"Honestly, I don`t look at working in films as a job. I really enjoy performing and what I do is something that gives me maximum pleasure and satisfaction. I am better off facing the camera", smiles Deepika.

"In any case, I am taken well care of both on and off the sets. I feel comfortable and secure and there are no complaints whatsoever," she said.

Salman Khan has launched a nationwide hunt for unsung heroes

IKLAN

Apparently inspired by Aamir Khan, Bollywood star Salman Khan has launched a nationwide hunt for unsung heroes as he turns 44 Sunday to connect with the masses and also promote his forthcoming period film "Veer".

The hunt - for young men and women who have performed heroic deeds which the nation doesn’t know about - is one more effort by the actor in bridge-building and improving his image.

"Lately Salman has been going out of his way to connect with the masses. The idea to launch a contest on his birthday to search for unrecognised heroes came from Aamir Khan’s recent connect-with-masses Bharat Darshan which he undertook as part of the promotion for ’3 Idiots’," said a source close to the actor.

"People close to Salman advised him to find a similar point of connectivity with the common man for Salman’s forthcoming film ’Veer’. And what better occasion to show his affinity to the masses than his birthday?"

Confirming Salman’s plans to search and celebrate the lives of unsung heroes from all over the country, "Veer" producer Vijay Galani told IANS: "You’ve heard correctly. Salman is launching a contest to find real-life unsung heroes.

"Since he has played the hero so often on screen, he feels real-life heroes deserve to be brought out of anonymity. We’ll be going to the remotest corners of India to select these unknown heroes. Finally one of them will be given the ’Veer’ cup personally by Salman at a function in Mumbai."

The much-talked about film is about the bravery of a Pindari soldier and speaks of bravery exemplifying the courage of every oppressed Indian fighting for justice and independence. Directed by Anil Sharma, the film features Salman in never seen before avatar along with newcomer Zarine Khan.

Former Miss UK Lisa Lazarus too plays an important role in the film that also stars Mithun Chakraborty and Jackie Shroff along with Sohail Khan and Bharat Dabholkar.

Salman Khan is well-known for his generosity but not many people know that his much-awaited forthcoming venture “Veer’ was offered to his ladylove Katrina Kaif before it went to the kitty of newcomer Zarine Khan. Now if sources are to be believed, the pretty new face Zarine had been an assistant to Katrina Kaif for quite a long time.

Zarine has been paired opposite Salman and plays the pivotal role of Princess Yashodhara. Reliable source reveal, “Yes, Zarine was offered the role after Katrina refused, due to date problems. Zarine had been an assistant to Kats for a while and now she is being launched by Salman.”

Now that’s what you call taking sweet revenge from Kats. What do you say Salman? And wonder what Katrina too has to say on that?

Salman Khan performed a life threatening scene in Veer

IKLAN

The leading star of Veer - Salman Khan suits the bill perfectly as the star performed a life threatening scene not once, but twice, all for the sake of the film.

Reveals a production source, “A robbery scene required Salman bhai to run on the top of a moving train. He did not use a stunt double, nor was he afraid. This stunt was a dangerous one, as one slip and he would have hit the ground and could have been pulled under the train with the speed it was moving in!”

“Salman Khan wanted another retake as he felt he could do it better, ” confirms the source.

And in all this intensity Salman managed to keep spot on to his humor and in true Salman Khan style while the train would pull in reverse without a care in the world, Salman, we hear would lie down on the train until it was time for another take.

Salman Khan surely is the real life Veer!

Salman Khan refused to work with David Dhawan

IKLAN

Salman Khan and David Dhawan, the successful actor-director team are now not on as good terms as they used to be before. It is a shame seeing as the number of hits they’ve given together, like Biwi No 1, Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge, Partner, Mujhse Shaadi Karogi, etc.

Recently, Salman didn’t want David to direct producer Sajid Nadiadwala’s film, Sanki, which is the remake of South Indian film, Kick.

This is because he is upset that David has not been giving thought to Partner 2, which Salman was very keen on. Instead David has been working on Hook Ya Crook with John Abraham, whom Salman isn’t very fond of.

However, Sajid has denied this. He states that Salman doesn’t play any role in deciding who will direct the film. He has also denied any problems in Salman and David’s friendship and feels that such rumors are in bad taste.

Sajid is, meanwhile, still in the scripting process of his film, of which he recently acquired the rights. While he wants David to be the one directing it, he hasn’t spoken to him yet.

David didn’t know anything about all of this.

Fans will welcome in any avatar that Salman Khan chooses

IKLAN

In the beginning of their careers, many actors like Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn or even a Sunny Deol, were typecast as action heroes. In time, they revealed their ability to slip into other roles as well. For instance, Devgn always known to be a brooding intense actor, has actually proved that he has a fantastic sense of timing where comedy is concerned. ’All The Best’ and the Golmaal series are a testimony to that.

Salman Khan , on the other hand, began his career with a sensitive, love story and then went on to do some action and comic films which have gone down well with audiences, who have now grown to love him in those avatars. The stupendous success of his last film ’Wanted’ and the earlier ’Partner’ have really brought the fact home that the actor’s fans really love to watch him either clowning around or bashing up the baddies.

Salman is believed to be feeling that he has been typecast by his audience which only wants him to see him in these two genres and has even confessed so in certain media reports. His comment obviously directed at the manner in which ’Main Aurr Mrs. Khanna’ bombed. While there is no taking away from the success of a ’Wanted’ or a ’Partner’, the fact remains that both these films were well made and executed by their directors, Prabhudeva and David Dhawan, respectively.

The fact of the matter is also that a Prem Soni could not do justice to his debut venture, ’Main Aurr Mrs. Khanna’. One would like to argue that where Salman is concerned, his choice of films, unlike most of his contemporaries, has not always been the wisest. He has ended up doing a lot more mediocre movies, due to various reasons, than them and that is probably why a ’Wanted’ and a ’Partner’ stand out and probably give him that feeling.

He has another movie coming up for release , Vipul Shah’s ’London Dreams’. It will see him in another avatar and it will be great to see how the audiences take to Salman in this avatar. Incidentally, besides ’Partner’ and ’Wanted’, audiences have also loved Salman in ’Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’ and ’Baghbaan’. It is great that Salman feels the need to explore different genres and grow as an actor. Rest assured, if the film is well made, his fans will welcome in any avatar that he chooses to don.

Salman Khans show-stopped the ramp for two designers

IKLAN

You may like him or you may hate him, but you can never deny the fact that he is the sexiest hunk of our industry. And no wonder the audience went ga-ga over Salman Khan as he show-stopped the ramp for two designers at the grand finale of recently concluded Men’s Fashion Week.

Unfortunately, Salman was unwell due to a bout of flu during the show as he was quoted saying, “”I am not well and I have a severe headache.” But there was not a hint of flaw in his attitude as he removed the jacket in style on reaching the head of the ramp.

The 43-year-old Khan was there to support the cause of his own NGO ‘Being Human’ and dressed in a black suit, he walked down the ramp twice, once for Ashish Soni’s collection inspired by the chase sequence in the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer ‘Don’ and again for designer-duo Rohit Gandhi and Rahul Khanna’s ‘Hypernature’.

“Salman is a very close friend. I understand his sensibility and style of clothing. I have worked with him in the past for Mayur Suitings and I know what he likes to wear,” said designer Ashish Soni.

Salman kahan spoke at media about his marriage in a recent TV interview

IKLAN

Salman spoke at length about his views on media professionals, his career and his much anticipated marriage in a recent TV interview. Salman lambasted the media stating, “You media people really believe that you can make anyone into the biggest star there is, right? Maybe you cannot make or break a star, but you can influence judges, lawyers, public prosecutors, etc. You can also give us more stress with family, old parents and 50 billion people calling up home and asking our family about what is the truth and what is not.”

When prodded on the million-dollar question about marriage, Salman retorted, “If you are going to ask me the same question billions of times, I get irritated. Always, ‘when are you getting married, when are you getting married’? Marriage is big. I’m not one to hide it. I will tell you when I’m ready. I’m not going to run away, man. It’s a respectable thing. But you know, this country has more important issues then just talking about my shaadi!”

Speaking about journalist ethics, a mellowed Salman said, “Friendship with journalists doesn’t mean they keep on writing anything. I have very few friends and those that I had, they’ve all passed away, a long time ago. Some of them were my childhood buddies”.

Salman Khan Newly discovered craving for organized social work

IKLAN

Trust Salman Khan to always court extremes. So far he has done not one short film on a public issue. Now starting next month we’ll see him in as many as 30 of these films on television, one after another, all for a cause. Salman Khan has never done so much media coverage before, and there’s a good reason for it. Almost all the marketing for Wanted will benefit Salman’s new charity concern Being Human in one way or another.

In fact, Boney Kapoor’s company has created 30 public-awareness short films with Salman which will begin airing a week before the release of Wanted. These films will have Salman addressing the public about social issues such as drugs, old people, crime, etc.

Boney says, “It’s true Salman’s keen interest in marketing Wanted has a lot to do with his newly-discovered craving for organized social work. This was a side to Salman that always existed. It just needed to be harnessed. Earlier too he contributed hugely to charitable and social causes. But not in this organized fashion.”

The 30 short films directed by Nikhil Saini are expected to give Salman a new image. He has always been seen to have the picture of an enfant-terrible. Now Salman wants to change that. He has seen his colleagues create public awareness. Now it’s his turn.

Says Boney, “About time. The 30 short films will be unleashed in quick succession one after another. Salman is one of the best human beings I’ve met. We first bonded over vodka and Bacardi in Hyderabad when he was shooting for Judwaa and I for Judaai. Later I asked him to do a 2-day appearance in Sirf Tum. He immediately agreed. When I asked his fee he said he wanted another drinking session like the one in Hyderabad. Then he did No Entry for me at time when I was going through a low. Even for Milenge Milenge he agreed to a cameo until he opted out for whatever reason.”

Salam had abandoned the project because of differences with Shahid Kapoor. Says Boney, “For Wanted we wanted Salman to completely abandon the bad boy image. Salman is a youth icon. And those 30 short films on public issues we’ve produced will project him as a responsible citizen and an icon who knows his duties.”

Aishwarya Rai has had a very ugly and very public breakup with both Salman Khan and Vivek Oberoi and unfortunately both her ex boyfriends have been shooting close to the sets of her film ‘Guzaarish’ in Mehboob Studios in the last few days. Salman was here for his film ‘Veer’ and Vivek was there for a photo shoot for director Rensil D’Silva’s film ‘Kurbaan’.

While Salman opted to stay away from the sets of ‘Guzaarish’ to avoid any uncomfortable situation, Vivek chose another way to avoid meeting Aishwarya and also spend some time with his old friend Hrithik Roshan who is Ash’s co-star in the film. Vivek and Hrithik have grown up together, as they are both from Juhu.

First, Vivek made sure that Ash was not on the sets and then he dropped at the sets to meet Hrithik. What followed was a long, close and hearty chat between two friends. They were later joined by Bhansali.

According to sources, So, Vivek didn’t want to miss the chance of meeting Hrithik.

It’s great to see NEW YORK still chugging along!

IKLAN

Over the weekend gone by, NEW YORK completed 50 days at the box office. This makes it third consecutive success for Yash Raj Films after BACHNA AE HASEENO and RAB NE BANA DI JODI (if one keeps ROADSIDE ROMEO aside).

In its last seven weeks, NEW YORK has netted over 46 crores just in India, hence earning itself a bona fide HIT box office status. The film has managed to sustain itself over a period of time in spite of the fact that there has been record breaking opening by films like KAMBAKKHT ISHQ and LOVE AAJ KAL which ate away a major share of business over the weekends that they released. Still, it is immense audience appreciation and terrific critical acclaim that the film received that made NEW YORK sail smooth in spite of such huge competition.

Also, unlike so many films that have done maximum business in the first weekend and have only tapered down as weeks have progressed, NEW YORK has taken nominal drops and stayed on to gain consistent moolah from the box office.

The film has managed to help everyone associated with it. While John is finally being taken seriously as an actor, Neil Nitin Mukesh can afford to smile again after leaving the disappointment of AA DEKHEN ZARA behind. Katrina Kaif has continued with her golden run and is now being acknowledged for things that are much beyond her smile. And as for director Kabir Khan, he has already moved on.

’’Well yes, NEW YORK succeeding at the box office was quite reassuring. It made us all feel that we were doing something right. Currently I am looking at finalizing the subject for my next and the decision on that should be coming soon. I will be casting for the film only when the story and script is locked’’, says Kabir whose next would again be for Yash Raj Films.

Though the film’s unit wasn’t allowed anywhere close to the priceless paintings inside the museum (even Tom Hanks wasn’t allowed to shoot there), Salman and Asin did shoot at the inverted glass pyramid that’s one of the main attractions for the tourists at the Louvre, particularly after the fictitious revelation of ‘The Da Vinci Code’ that the sarcophagus of Mary Magdalene is underneath the pyramid.

However, instead of cracking cryptic codes or solving religious mysteries, Salman and Asin unraveled the mysteries of the heart while shooting their romantic song at the Louvre.

The most colourful personalities of the Indian film industry

IKLAN

Salman Khan , the eldest son of Salim Khan (of the famous Salim-Javed duo), is easily one of the most colourful personalities of the Indian film industry often making news because of his brattish, bad boy image, his repeated flashing of his torso on screen whether or not the role calls for it, his brushes with the law or his personal life.

However, there are no two ways about it - he is a huge star and love him or hate him - you cannot ignore him.

Such is his draw and fan following, particularly among women, that he has been at the helm of at least 5 films that have been the highest grossing films of those particular years.

Along with Shah Rukh, Aamir and Akshay, he is the most stable actor as far as the box-office is concerned, both in India and overseas.

And though never really taken seriously as an actor, even by himself, Salman has shown that he is a capable enough performer whenever the role calls for it in films like Khamoshi: The Musical (1996), Tere Naam (2003) or Baghban (2003).

Birthday: 27th December, 1965 in Indore.

Debut Film: Biwi Ho To Aisi (1988).

Major Impact: Sooraj Barjatya’s Maine Pyar Kiya (1989).

Successful Films: Baaghi (1990), Patthar ke Phool (1991), Sanam Bewafa (1991), Qurbaan (1991), Saajan (1991), Hum Aapke Hain Kaun...! (1994), Karan Arjun (1995), Khamoshi: The Musical (1996), Judwaa (1997), Biwi No 1 (1999), Dulhan Hum Le Jaayenge (2000), Chal Mere Bhai (2000), Yeh Hai Jalwa (2002), Mujhse Shaadi Karogi (2004), Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya (2005) and Partner (2007).

Awards: Winner of the Filmfare Best Supporting Actor for Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.

Forthcoming Film: London Dreams.

Facts we didn’t know:

His birth name is Abdul Rashid Salim Salman Khan.

Frequently visits sick children in hospitals, and also goes often to donate blood.

Not only is he a health freak, he also loves to initiate people who aren’t as health-conscious as himself into workouts. He forced co-star Anil Kapoor to work out at the gymnasium every day. Saif Ali Khan and Hrithik Roshan are his early trainees.

He was an excellent swimmer in his school days and was even tipped for representing the country one day.

In his early days as a struggling actor he never used his father’s name and influence like many other heroes with relatives in the industry. He used to visit producers on his own and audition for roles.

Always believes in giving newcomers a chance. So he spares time in between shots to listen to their script ideas and credits this to his memory of when he was a newcomer.

Salman Khan was known to care a damn about his image

IKLAN

The notorious bad boy image withstanding, Salman Khan was known to care a damn about his image in the industry circles as well as the media but now he is a changed person. It perhaps may be the string of flops that he saw in last 16 months or a sense of maturity dawning upon him, Salman changing for the better.

Salman Khan has been known for his attitude and coming late on the sets but he has now changed his lethargic attitude towards his film Veer. The actor has reportedly been reporting on the sets dot at nine in the morning and shooting till late in the evening. This has surprised every single person on the sets.

Salman has never been so up and about his films. He has never bent his rules even for his brother Sohail Khan’s film Main Aur Mrs. Khanna.

Sohail had earlier even commented, "Salman is a master on his own. He will not change his rules because I am a brother. When he is on my set I am just a producer for him."

But working for his dream project Salman really seems to have changed completely.

It was reported that he had given up his bouts of drinking and now members of the unit claim that Salman is on the sets early in the morning even before the others arrive. He has taken the film seriously and is really working hard.

His director Anil Sharma vouches for Salman’s sincerity and tells us, "Yes Salman has changed a lot he comes on the set in the morning and shoots the whole day without a single break. He is putting all that he can into this film to make it a success."
