Salman Khan to join Anna Hazare’s campaign

Salman Khan’s bodyguard allegedly thrashed an anti-corruption activist, who wanted the actor to join Anna Hazare’s campaign against corruption. The actor had to face heat when a police complaint was filed against him.

According to sources, Salman was returning from an event when activists of India Against Corruption approached the superstar to lend his support to the cause. However, the members of the Jan Rajya Party (Anna’s allies) were in for a rude shock when they were man-handled by the bodyguards of Salman.

Founded by the ex-IITians group, the President of the Jan Rajya Party, Deepak Bharat said, “His bodyguards hit us as soon as we moved near his vehicle. We just wanted to present him with Anna ‘topis’ and have his autograph on anti-corruption material. There was no provocation.”

Eyewitnesses said, “Salman`s bouncers manhandled the activists when they approached his car. There was no provocation except the anti-corruption slogans the group was raising,” said an eyewitness.

A police complaint was filed against Salman when his bodyguards allegedly hit Jan Rajya Party’s general secretary Omendra Bharat, who fainted and fell on the ground.

Omendra said he filed a police complaint against the actor and his bodyguards for manhandling the activists when they tried to present Salman an Anna ‘topi.’

Meanwhile, investigating officer Upendra Singh Rathi said that police have registered the complaint and they were investigating the matter. “Necessary action would be taken if the charges are found to be true.”

Salman Khan as brand ambassador of Indian Railways

Given Salman Khan’s love for rail gaadi, the Indian Railways are planning to rope in the megastar to bring about a much needed face lift to one of the biggest transportation system in India.

Action superstar Salman Khan is often seen running, romancing or beating the pulp out of baddies against the backdrop of our very own Indian Railways, so the top officials of the department are reportedly contemplating to ask the star become their brand ambassador.

A source close to Salman revealed, "The Indian Railways is used as a mode of transport by a very large number of population.

And, as a star, Salman has a huge appeal among the masses. So it`s a perfect brand fit.”

"His movies like ‘Tere Naam,’ ‘Wanted,’ ‘Dabangg’ - all have important scenes in trains or railway platforms," the source added.

However, Salman’s business representative was very evasive about the deal. On contacting the rep said, "It`s too premature to talk anything about it right now."

Well, let’s hope Salman’s ticket get confirmed soon!

Salman Khan Editing His Upcoming Film Bodyguard

Looks like Salman Khan is fast expanding his horizons, remarks Safedi Lal as he strolls into my abode.

What are you talking about, I wonder, and he says that hunk is more than just being an actor for Bodyguard, also featuring Kareena Kapoor.

My dhobi claims to have found out that Sallu is involved in ever aspect of the film, being produced by his sister Alvira and brother-in-law Atul Agnihotri.

Seems he’s so pleased with the results of the shoot that he wants to sit in on the editing also.

Apparently, the actor, who’s currently shooting for the film in Delhi, was overheard discussing with Atul how he’d like certain sequences to be executed on the post-production.

Considering Sallu has overseen the editing of Dabangg and recently, Ready, why am I not surprised?

The Shah Rukh Khan-Salman Khan Tussle

Seems like the Shah Rukh Khan-Salman Khan tussle just got worse. This time, the bone of contention is a film title. Director duo Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru, of Salman-starrer Lucky - No Time For Love (2005) fame, wanted the title Happy New Year for their next film to be produced by Bhushan Kumar.

Apparently, Shah Rukh asked Bhushan to change the title after he learnt that Vinay and Radhika, friends of the Dabangg (2010) star, wanted to direct it.

However, Vinay isn’t amused. "We asked the producer to get us the title, but it belongs to Shah Rukh. I don’t understand why he can’t give it to us. I know he’s not even making the film anymore," says Vinay, according to whom Happy New Year is perfect for their film, which is now called I Love New Year.

"Farah (Khan) was supposed to direct Happy New Year, but as far as I know, she isn’t working with Red Chillies any more. If SRK isn’t making it, he should give us the title." Besides helming Lucky, Vinay and Radhika have worked with Salman in a few songs for Dabangg too.

"He is our original hero, and will always be a special person and mentor," says Vinay, whose film I Love New Year, starring Sunny Deol and Kangna Ranaut, will coincide with the release of SRK’s Don 2.

"We didn’t plan it on purpose." Ask him if he feels all this title trouble taking place is due to apparent problems between the two Khans and he smiles, "Maybe. I don’t know if personal issues can really affect professional decisions."

Salman Khan Will Play A RAW Agent In Kabir’s Film

Bollywood’s enfant terrible Salman Khan is looking forward to play his most realistic character – an undercover agent of India’s key intelligence agency in Kabir Khan’s upcoming venture.

Buzz has it that Salman will play a RAW agent in Kabir’s film, which will go on the floors in the end of 2011.Apparently, the role of a secret agent will be much different from the flamboyant roles Salman has been portraying of late.

Talking to a daily, a source said, “Salman has always been a very spontaneous actor. Woh dil se kaam karta hai. But when he heard the script for Kabir Khan`s film, Salman was absolutely fascinated.

He couldn`t get over the fact that ordinary civilians sometimes act as undercover government agents. Aisa bhi hota hai kya? he asked Aditya Chopra, who went to Salman with the offer. Salman has agreed to undertake all the preparation needed for the part.”

Talking about the preparations required for the role, the source added, “Salman has to be a covert not an overt agent. RAW agents are taught to blend with the mainstream, to not stand out in a crowd, to be as nondescript as possible.

And yet, when the need arises, they need to be panther-like in their intellectual and physical agility. Salman has lately been doing extremely flamboyant parts. This one requires him to go the other way.”

Filmmaker Kabir Khan will use his vast experience of docu-drama making to give a new dimension to Bhai’s persona.When asked, Kabir Khan said, “You know I will not comment on that.”

Girls Were Happy To Be Partying With Salman Khan

Salman Khan, one of the most sought after bachelors in Bollywood, threw a ladies-only bash recently. His co-star Asin Thottumkal, who was present at the event, felt that the many girls were happy to be partying with the Bollywood star.

After the music release of Ready, Salman decided to throw an impromptu bash in his pad that has been created for him at Film City in Goregaon for the shoot of his brother-in-law Atul Agnihotri’s next film, Bodyguard. His Ready co-star Asin and Zarine Khan immediately accompanied the actor.

"Well, it’s true. Salman invited all the female actors from Ready. We all went up to his very comfortable and large pad. It has a garden and a beautiful view. And Salman is a wonderful host. The ladies were all happy to be partying. At which point, suddenly Salman remembered their husbands and then he invited them too," says Asin, who worked with him in London Dreams as well. "It was great fun. I was the odd one out since I don’t drink. After a while it gets boring for both me and the others guests to keep wondering why I am not drinking."

However, Asin was thoroughly impressed by Salman’s bonding with the women in the cast. "All the ladies who play his aunts and relatives just dote on him. He makes them all feel like they are part of his extended family," says the actor, who is taking a break and going home for a while soon. "I’m taking off to Kerala for a couple of weeks. At the moment, I’ve no other Hindi film on hand. So I can afford the time off," she adds.

Asin has apparently been offered everything from Anurag Basu’s Barfee to Sajid Nadiadwala’s Kick. But after films with Aamir Khan, Salman and Ajay Devgn, she’s at the moment looking at projects with a leading man of her own age group. Apparently Asin has been offered Sajid Nadiadwala’s 2 States with Shah Rukh Khan.

Salman Personally Looking At The Final Editing Of Ready

Bollywood Actor Salman Khan is geared up with upcoming film ‘Ready’ and he is fully involved in its post – production work as he does not want to take any chances with its fate.

Apparently, director Anees Bazmee has not had a good record at the Box Office with his last two projects; it seems Sallu has doubts on the filmmaker’s capability which is why he is personally looking at the final editing of the film.

No one can point a finger at Salman’s personal intervention in films as he had his last two films ‘Wanted’ and ‘Dabangg’ set the registers ringing at the Box Office.

The star does not want to take any chances with his films. In fact, he is having the film edited at his own post- production facility - Sight and Sound and is keeping a close look at all the details of editing.

A source said to a daily, "While he is busy with his shoots for ‘Bodyguard’, he has his trusted people checking on the progress. As soon as he gets done with the shoots, he heads to the facility himself, where he personally oversees the edits."

When contacted, Bazmee agreed to Salman’s active participation in the post production work. He said to a tabloid, "He is excited about the film and has been keeping a close watch. But he does not sit for the edits.

He is shooting for ‘Bodyguard’, from morning to night, and does not have the time to sit for edits. However, since he asked, I sent him a portion of the cut, which he returned with his suggestions." When questioned if ‘Ready’ is being edited at Sight and Sound, he denied, saying, "We are editing at a facility owned by T-series and not at Salman bhai`s production facility."

Well, Sallu has surely mastered the art of setting the Box Office on fire and we can’t wait to see yet another entertaining film from him.

Sonakshi Sinha Joined The Party With Salman Khan

Salman Khan’s next release ‘Ready’ is all set to come out soon and the trailors are on air. Music of the film was released recently. To celebrate the successful music release, Sallu threw a party at his house for his close group of friends and cast of the film.

Sallu invited, Asin, the film’s leading lady and also Zarine Khan who has done an item song in the film. Apart from the film crew he also invited his ‘Dabangg’ co-star, Sonakshi Sinha.

Sonakshi joined the party later at night to celebrate the music launch with Salman. It has been noted in the past that the dusky beauty is extremely possessive of her ‘Dabangg’ co-star and she does not like any other actor getting close to him. The guests at the party noticed Sonakshi’s possessive streak.

An eye-witness revealed to a daily, "She pushed Zarine, while walking past her, and then pretended that she hadn`t even realised it!”

The source added, "It was such a sight. We thought a catfight would break out. We didn`t know where to look and whether to laugh. When Sona first walked in, she walked past Zarine, without greeting her. Later when she saw that ZK was bonding with Salman and he was introducing her to all her friends, the Dabangg girl couldn`t hide her irritation.

Also the fact that Sallu got his buddy Sajid Nadiadwala to cast Zarine in Housefull 2 was still bothering her. Never mind the fact that he was instrumental in getting her a role in Shirish Kunder`s Joker. Sonakshi sees Zarine as a rival for Salman`s affections and young and spunky that she is, the Shotgun Junior (as she calls herself) decided to literally push her out of her way.

Apparently Salman is very fond of both the actresses as they both debuted with him, Zarine in ‘Veer’ and Sonakshi in ‘Dabangg’. The actor thinks both of them have great potential and has been often overheard recommending their names to filmmakers.

However when the incident took place Sallu was busy with his other guests and he did not notice the dusky beauty push the dimpled actress. According to the people at the party when Zarine reacted to Sonakshi’s rude push, the ‘Dabangg’ girl said it was "an accident. Not done intentionally".

Now that is a little hard to believe since we are very well aware about Sonakshi’s cold vibes with Kat, Salman’s ex and it seems it Zarine is now on her hit list.

Both actresses remained unavailable for any comment and better still Sonakshi denied the incident all together.
