SALMAN KHAN ON OK! MAGAZINE COVER MAY 2010

Salman Khan joins Shah Rukh’s camp?

Bollywood dandy Salman Khan, who has been giving signals in his TV show to patch up with Shah Rukh Khan, couldn’t ignore the lure of the opposite camp. And now the infamous Khan war that started during Katrina Kaif’s birthday party last year will hopefully come to an end with Sallu waving the peace flag. According to latest news, Salman Khan has signed a film with Yash Raj, said to be a pro-SRK production house.
The lure of Shah Rukh’s camp is too great to be ignored as it has Bollywood biggies like YRF, Farah Khan, Karan Johar and many more. So, flop Sallu’s head ruled over his temper and he gave in due to professional reasons.

According to sources, the Yash Raj film is supposed to be a wacky action comedy that will go on floors later this year. Now, the actor is looking forward to do this project, which is being written and directed by Victor (Acharya). R Madhavan also plays an important role the film and the lead actress is yet to be chosen.

Earlier, Sallu was approached for ‘Chak De’ but he wanted a silly change in the script which was unacceptable to Aditya Chopra, so the film fell into SRK’s bag for all the right reasons.

Now, Sallu has the last chance to uplift his sagging career. Get going!

Our source who was incidentally present at the Salt Water Café, the newly opened café ahead of Lilavati Hospital, Bandra, revealed, “Salman and Katrina arrived together at around 6pm. Both were looking extremely happy and it appeared as if they had arrived to celebrate the success of Katrina’s new release New York. She was smiling nonstop while talking to him. The people around them were left completely star struck and no one dared to disturb the lovers.”

The source further added, “When any one around would stare for long at Katrina, Salman would stare back at him/her. Generally the two used to be often seen at the coffee shops near Salman’s Bandra Bandstand house such as Café Coffee Day or Barista but may be they came here because being a Sunday those places would have been extremely crowded.”

Both were there for over an hour.

The highlight of the episode was Salman’s impromptu jig with Prabhu Deva. Watching them both having fun, Ayesha couldn’t resist herself and joined them. The three of them then set the stage on fire. She was glowing and looked so amused and in awe of Salman.”

Prabhu Deva, who was last seen in Dance India Dance and Nach Baliye, was heard saying that this was a completely different experience for him. Wanted will be an Eid release coming up in cinema halls across the world on September 18th.

Salman Khan sings a 'romantic song' for Katrina Kaif

Salman Khan looked immensely in love with Katrina Kaif on his show ‘Dus Ka Dum’ where he sang, danced and had fun with his love. Salman sang an old romantic song, ‘Jab Koi Baat Bigar Jaye’ and pulled Katrina towards him and both danced in upbeat mood. The couple looked in depth in love but Salman showed much interest than Kat. While singing the song, Salman did not take his eyes away from Katrina.

Salman even cracked jokes and asked his lady if anyone has ever proposed marriage to her, Kat promptly replied no and to that Salman remarked that only a fool would not propose to her. Katrina was present with her ‘New York’ co-star Neil Nitin Mukesh and they were on the show to promote their upcoming film, ‘New York’ which is slated for release on June 26.

Katrina for a few seconds left Salman mute when she run to Neil and hugged him after being enjoyed by all his imitations.

Bollywood's Three Khans Together?

Director Sanjay Chhel could pull off a coup of sorts if all the three Khans of Bollywood – Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan and Salman Khan agree to star in his forthcoming film. The three will be approached for a cameo in the film.

Whatever it may be, getting all the three Khans in a single movie is something that no one has been able to achieve so far. The director is also looking to sign up other top heroes of Bollywood to play cameo roles in this flick.

Meanwhile, the production house that is producing this venture, Percept, has decided to reduce the film’s budget by 30 per cent due to recession.

Let's wait and watch!

Salman Khan’s new project - “London Dreams”

Salman Khan’s wax statue at Madam Tussauds in London has had a deeper impact on the star, than most would imagine. Overwhelmed with the response that the actor got when he attended the unveiling of his wax statue at the famed museum, the Bollywood hunk decided to consider his long-shelved dream project once again. Salman has personally taken efforts to revive his shelved project London Dreams which was originally supposed to be directed by Raj Kumar Santoshi. The film which is based on the desi music scene of UK will now be made at a larger scale than originally planned and is to be directed by Vipul Shah who’s last film Namastey London was a runaway hit. Not surprisingly, Salman is set to play the pivotal role in the film, which is now being made at a staggering budget of 65 crores. More than 75 per cent of the film will be shot in London and is touted to have a huge appeal for the desi population there.

Salman is very excited about the project and we would be making the film at a much larger scale now. As for the heroine, she is yet to be finalised. The film is set in the desi milieu of London. The music scene over there is very vibrant and you have some very talented artists like Rishi Rich, Juggy D, Bally Sagoo, and various other bands making some very distinct music.

Personal Quotes:
"It's not my style to either wear minimum clothes, to strip or to even be comfortable with a sex-symbol label. I just want to do good work instead of sporting such meaningless tags. Sex sells, but to a small extent, not always. And this is what filmmakers have to accept. The exposure has to be relevant to the film and its characters and not forced for the sake of titillation. On the contrary, some of the greatest Indian films have been devoid of all these sexual trappings. I know my comfort zone in today's Indian culture and society."

Her thoughts on Bollywood accepting her, being an outsider British girl, into Indian cinema: "I have no complaints. I think I'm especially lucky. As you said, I've come from outside and I'm not even anywhere closely connected. But I have absolutely no problem here. People have been more than welcoming, even before I was ready. There was a time when I felt that I need to take time to understand more about the industry, the workings of it. I was doing my modeling, which I really wanted to do at the time. So that's why even my entry into films was later than people expected." (Stardust magazine, July 2006)

"I've been very blessed, I think, or what do you call it... mmm... lucky to get at this stage what I have. It's not like I've come from acting school and done work at an academy or something. I feel I've been given a very huge chance and opportunity." (Stardust magazine, July 2006)

Salman weeps while speaking about SRK

Though Shahrukh many times spoke about his spat which took place at Katrina’s birthday bash, Salman has hardly spoken in media. Like King Khan, Salman was also hurt for loosing a close and old friend like him. Salman was uninvited at SRK’s birthday but his family graces the occasion. While speaking to media about the fight, he was in tears.

When asked what he thinks about his family participating Shahrukh’s party, he remarked, "If they want to participate in SRK’s family events they are more than welcome to do that. But don’t you think that it’s a kind of a joke that from one side it’s straight from the heart one family and from one family it’s straight from the brain? Oh yeh Salman ke behalf pe aa rahe hai so he (Salman) looks like a fool. Yeh sabko bulaya gaya, yeh sab aayenge, they are all here, so Salman must be wrong. Because my family is socializing at SRK’s family events!"

Salman then went onto state that it was Shahrukh who told the media about their little disagreement. "As soon as Shahrukh left the party, he started calling up the media! I didn’t speak till one week after the fight because he was trying to put me in the middle of something which is not cool from any angle! That is the time I stood up and started speaking. There is no reason for disrespect. Everybody messes up. I have messed up also not once but so many times, without any malice, any manipulation or agenda. If things go wrong between two buddies we say 'okay buddy let’s hang out together and sort it out' but if you are going to mess up and disrespect me then forget it,” said a tearful Salman.

Hope, the two patch up soon and become bosom friends again.
