Bollywood Actor Salman Khan not ready to give time for ‘No Entry Mein Entry’.


The script for Anees Bazmee ‘No Entry Mein Entry’ is ready. As reported earlier, the film which is a sequal to ‘No Entry’, will have all the three actors, Anil Kapoor, Fardeen Khan and Salman Khan play double roles. However, Salman Khan, who is said to be upset with Anees, isn’t ready.

A source close to both Anees and Boney Kapoor (producer) revealed, “Salman is really excited about his first double role since Judwaa. And he will love the script that Anees has written. However, he first needs to hear it. He has to give Anees time.”

Even at Salman’s birthday bash, Anees Bamees was not invited to the party.

When Anees was asked the reason for him being absent for Sallu’s party and whether it was because of their differences, he said, “Aisa kuch nahin hai. I’m leaving for a holiday with my wife and children for New Year. I met Boney and he loved my script. I haven’t met Salman. But Boney and Anil have met Salmanbhai. Salman is very excited about the script. As soon as we can we will sit down for a narration,” said the director.

Salman was miffed with director Anees Bazmee during the making of Ready.

Bollywood News: Salman Khan Sobers Down Praises Katrina Kaif

The latest item number performed by Katrina Kaif in the film “ Agneepath “ called Chikni Chameli has won a lot of appreciation. It has become very famous and won the hearts of many viewers. The audience has yet again very gladly accepted her second item number “Chikni Chameli” after her first “Sheila Ki Jawani”.

However there is one special person who is very happy with her performances in all her films and both of these item numbers. He was very vocal about supporting Katrina Kaif and phrasing her in the public. And that person is none other than Katrina Kaif’s ex boy friend, Salman Khan. It is heard that this latest item number had made a special place in Salman’s heart.

A very reliable source reports that Salman Khan has praised Katrina Kaif’s moves in the song Chikni Chameli . He said that he loved her moves and was also very impressed by the kind of expressions that she gave for the song. In fact he also added that she should continue doing such hot, sensuous and sizzling numbers on screen.

The overall buzz in the film industry is that Salman Khan is indeed sobering down his ways and mannerisms. The actor who was once known for his dominating persona and over possessiveness has finally moved to giving space to others. Right from his x girlfriend Somi Ali’s time to that of Katrina and even till the last few years , he was known to be overtly possessive and protective about his ladies. Sources say that some of his former girlfriends moved out of some movies because he felt that the film would not project them in any good light. Some of his girls had also left films because he didn’t want them to be dressed in scantily clad dresses.

It is heard that Salman Khan didn’t even watch Katrina’s films when she had worked with other actors. So, when the same Salman Khan comes out and publicly appreciates Katrina’s sizzling dance moves, it does create a stir. It proves that he has indeed changed a lot either unconsciously or consciously.

According to insiders, this change in him might be a result of the fact that the actor might be finally planning to settle down. There is no doubt regarding the fact that he has had issues previously, where he had expected his girls to be like his mother. But of late, he has probably has had a realization that his over possessiveness only adds negativity to the relationships, and finally breaks it. This change in his working style and personal attitude has had marked influence on his personal life. In spite of maintain the “just friends” tag, Katrina Kaif is now seen in almost all of his family events. Right from spending time on the sets of the film “Ek Tha Tiger” to Farah Kahn’s house bash, they are always seen together. This has made the entire picture much more rosier and there is a probability that the romanticism between them might grow up once again.

Bollywood banks on south indian showbiz

It's only fitting that 2011 should see a song from the Tamil film factory ending up as the pop anthem of the year. If Dhanush's Kolaveri Di has broken all records on the Internet, the trend only defines showbiz fads of our times. Popular culture in India, particularly Bollywood, is increasingly banking on south Indian showbiz for inspiration when it comes to raking in big moolah.

Take a stock of Bollywood's 2011 box-office roster, and you know what we mean. The year's three biggest hits so far - Bodyguard , Ready and Singham - are all remakes of south Indian blockbusters.

Interestingly, the only film that looks like a close contender for top honours this year is The Dirty Picture. Though the Vidya Balan-starrer is an original film, its script is based on the story of Tamil sex bomb Silk Smitha and set amid the backdrop of the south Indian film industry.

Look closely, and you realise the fad of remaking south Indian hits has also directly affected the Bollywood rat race. If Salman Khan is at the forefront of buying the rights of southern hits and then Bollywoodising them to north Indian taste, he is also Hindi cinema's most popular hero right now, having recorded the top two hits of the year.

Salman's Bodyguard, which opened on Eid and went onto create a new opening day and first-week record in Bollywood, is the remake of a Malayalam hit by the same name.

The Rs 60-crore film netted Rs 102.86 crore in its first week - an all-time record - and went on to gross Rs 229 crore worldwide. The film has turned out to be Bollywood's second-highest grosser of all time after 3 Idiots.

Salman's other release this year is Ready, incidentally, the second highest Bollywood grosser of 2011. The film, which cost Rs 40 crore, is a remake of Telugu blockbuster of the same name. Ready is 2011' s second highest opening-day grosser and has grossed Rs 179 crore worldwide.

Salman's super success is almost matched by Ajay Devgn's 2011 biggie Singham, a remake of the 2010 Tamil blockbuster, Singam , dubbed in Telugu as Yamudu. The Rs 20-crore Singham has grossed over Rs 150 crore worldwide and re- affirmed Ajay's status among Bollywood's most saleable stars.

That apart, John Abraham managed to garner an elusive hit with Force this year. The action thriller was a remake of a Tamil hit, Kaakha Kaakha, released in 2003.

"These films have good subjects and great potential. Only a few people down south have seen these films so we can take them to a larger audience by making them in Hindi," Salman summarised the trend recently.

Record opening day collection for 'Bodyguard'


The festival of Eid has once again proved to be lucky for Bollywood superstar Salman Khan whose new release "Bodyguard" has earned a record Rs.22 crore net as first day collections -- surpassing blockbusters "Dabangg" and "3 Idiots".

The action-packed drama, in which Salman has teamed up with Kareena Kapoor, was released on Eid-ul-Fitr Wednesday. His "Wanted" and "Dabangg" too released on Eid in 2009 and 2010, respectively.


"Bodyguard" has not only surpassed first day collections of "Singham" (Rs.9.1 crore), "Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara" (Rs.8.15 crore), "Delhi Belly" (Rs.7.15 crore), "Ready" (Rs.13.5 crore) and "Dum Maaro Dum" (Rs. 6.2 crore), it has also overtaken the box office earnings of "Dabangg" and "3 Idiots", which collected Rs 14.5 crore and Rs.13 crore, respectively, on the first day.

"The response to the film has been amazing. We had estimated the collection to be Rs.20 crore on the first day and it went on to be Rs 21.5-22 crore net, which are phenomenal figures for the first day," Priti Shahani, chief strategy and marketing officer, Reliance Entertainment, told IANS.

"Salman, no doubt, is the biggest driving factor as he has a huge fan following. A good release date is extremely crucial on the theatrical side and Salman and Eid are indeed a lethal combo," she added.

Made at an approximate budget of Rs.60 crore, the film released in India with 2,600 prints and 325 prints overseas. Shahani said they haven't yet got the figures for overseas collection.

A Hindi-remake of the Malayalam film of the same name, "Bodyguard" has been directed by Siddique and co-produced by Salman's brother-in-law Atul Agnihotri and Reliance Entertainment.

Shahani predicts that the film will cross the Rs.100-crore mark in the very first week.

"Looking at the unprecedented response to the film, 'Bodyguard' is likely to cross the Rs.100-crore mark in its first week," she said.

With an extended weekend, multiplex owners are hoping to make good business.

"The opening has been nice, the occupancy has gone up to 80 percent. People are liking the film. We are hoping for a good weekend and expect the occupancy to go up to 100 percent," said Munish, managing director (marketing) of Satyam Cineplex.

Yogesh Raizada, of Waves Cinemas calls the film a treat for Salman fans.

"It's a complete Salman Khan with lots of action and some comedy. People are enjoying the film. On the first day, the occupancy was around 80 to 90 percent in the suburbs and in the NCR region. We hope an equally good response over the weekend," he said.

Katrina Kaif - she will not play mediator between Salman Khan and Shahruk Khan




Katrina Kaif

Katrina Kaif is working with both of them in Yash Raj Films' separate projects.

She also clears that she will not play a mediator, as she believes that both of them are true professionals.

As per Latest Katrina Kaif Interviews, she said that, “Shahrukh and Salman are my co-stars in two different films. I think they can handle the equations between them. I also believe that they both are very professional, so I don’t need to try to bring them together.”

“Two of my sisters live there, but they are fine. It is very shocking and also a good reminder about the volatile situation in the world. Everything is transient and unstable today in the world we live in. But my family is safe.”

“The one in Salman’s latest film is not an item number. It is small part in the title track. But the other rumor of doing an item number with Sanjay Dutt for the film Agneepath is absolutely untrue.”

“There is nothing like opting out. The YRF films — Ek Tha Tiger with Salman and the other film with Shahrukh Khan — were commitments made long before. There are films that will be discussed. Sometimes they happen, sometimes they don’t. It’s that simple. I haven’t chosen anyone over someone else.”

Patching up the Khan’s is not Katrina’s responsibility!


It’s a known fact that Katrina Kaif and Salman Khan are inseparable and are like the best buddies in the industry. Well, Katrina and Shahrukh Khan are also good friends. Now the question is, can this beauty turn the foe Khans to friends???

Kats will be seen with Salman Khan and Shahrukh Khan, in two separate films. Now that she would have to work closely with both the Khan’s, her fans are expecting a little too much from her. Well, let’s see what Kats has to say about it…

“They both are my co-stars for different films and at the end of the day we go to our respective houses. It (their enmity) does not have any impact on me. And I am glad that I am working with two senior…respected professionals in the industry. I think they can handle whatever their equation is between them. I am not common between the two,” Katrina said in an interview.

When the actress was asked if she would like to see the two patch up, she said, “It is hardly my place. I don’t think it is my responsibility.”

Sigh! We wonder who can help the two foes turn friends!!!

Salman whistles for Katrina!!!


Katrina Kaif was unable to blow whistles for a sequence in her item song in “Bodyguard”, and it was our very own man with a golden heart, Salman Khan who came to her aid.

Katrina, is seen in the second half of the item song “Aaya re aaya bodyguard’. The actress was pretty uncomfortable blowing six whistles in the song. Leave six, she couldn’t even blow one:D.

The two continue to share a warm relationship despite parting from each other.

“Bodyguard”, which features Kareena Kapoor as the leading lady, releases Aug 31.

Bollywood Actress Katrina Kaif, Salman Khan share a hug


Here's a new chapter in the Salman and Katrina story. So what if they've decided not to kiss on screen? There's more action happening off-screen, even it's only some PDA.

Hear this one. Salman and Katrina visited Farah on the sets of her reality show, and the events that followed left everyone pleasantly surprised. Close sources revealed that when Sallu and Kat came face-to-face, they hugged each other for a good two minutes. And all this publicly, in front of the media! There was an awkward silence in the audience, but the two seemed comfy together. Of course, the shutterbugs couldn't wait to capture this picture-perfect moment. But then, Farah Khan stepped in, and agitatedly warned the media that if even a single picture leaked out, she would walk out of the show. Well, everyone quickly backed off, but was stunned to see the otherwise media-shy Kat, slip into this embrace. Well, iss jaadu ki jhappi ka kya hoga...that's something we'll know soon.

Bollywood Actor Salman should do Magadheera remake: Kajal


Kajal Aggarwal believes all her Telugu films have fabulous remake value and Salman Khan is the best choice for Magadheera's Hindi remake.

Kajal Aggarwal is an addition to the growing list of actresses, who are born and brought up in Mumbai, but have made a successful career in South Indian cinema. She will be seen opposite Ajay Devgn in the upcoming action flick Singham . In an exclusive conversation with Gaurav Malani , she speaks about both, Bollywood and South cinema and how she wants all of her Telugu films to be remade in Hindi.

Wasn't (Ash-Vivek starrer) Kyun Ho Gaya Na your debut film!
I did Kyun Ho Gaya Na when I was in the ninth grade! I was still a kid then. So I would consider Singham as my Hindi debut. At that time acting was never on my mind and education was a priority. I wanted to pursue MBA but I strongly believe in destiny, which I guess, had different plans for me.

After Telugu films, was Bollywood the next obvious step?
I never strategized my career as such. I never planned that I wanted to start in Hindi films after working in a certain number of Telugu films. I am lucky that things have been naturally falling into place so far.

Were Singham makers particularly looking for a South actress for this Tamil remake?
Not really! Rohit Shetty wanted a fresh face for the film but also with an acting background to her. They did not have time to teach anybody. When they saw my film Magadheera , which is a huge hit in South, they felt that I was perfect for the part in Singham .

Considering it's a male-dominated action flick, how much scope do you have?
There is also a sweet romantic story attached to Singham . Though I have a short role in Singham , it is an important part. I do not believe that the screen-space allotted to a character would define their acting ability. And I personally believe that even if the role is short, the impact that the character makes in that time is more important.

Ajay Devgn is known to be a prank-master. Did you fall prey of his jokes?
Ajay is a wonderful actor and pulled a prank on me on the first day itself. I was asked to scream for a scene and later I realized the camera wasn't rolling at all. But I think it was a nice way to break the ice.

What is that one thing you learnt from Ajay Devgn?
The ability to get into the character once the scene rolls and cut-off from it when the director says cut. The ease with which he does that is remarkable.

Which is a better film – the Hindi or the Tamil Singham ?
It is unfair to say that any version is better than the other. But I do think there have been changes made in the Hindi version which would suit the Hindi audience sensibilities. While the female lead (Anushka Shetty) in the original was a Tamil character, we have changed her into a Goan Maharashtrian in Hindi.

How comfortable were you with the Hindi language?
I am born and brought up in Mumbai, so Hindi and Marathi come very easily to me.

In that case how comfortable were you with Telugu language when you started in South?
Initially I had to work very hard over the language but now, after 4 years of experience, I am quite fluent with it. I am still learning Tamil though.

Would you want any of your South films to be remade in Bollywood?
All my films have fabulous remake value but I don't have a say in this. It's more of a director's call. But if you ask me, I would want all my South films to be remade in Hindi.

If Magadheera was to be remade in Hindi, which Bollywood hero can pull off the character?
The male lead in Magadheera has a lot of heroism in terms of his attitude and body language. Many Bollywood actors have the potential to play the lead in Magadheera . Choosing one is difficult but I guess Salman would suit the role best.

Post Singham what would be your focus – Hindi or Telugu cinema?
I would want to strike a balance. While my loyalties remain in South cinema, since I started out there, I would want to work in Hindi films as well.

Bollywood Actor Salman bares his torso to promote ‘Chillar Party’


Mumbai: Salman is in his elements when he’s off shirt! So, when the actor came out to promote his debut production venture ‘Chillar Party’, you know exactly what he did, right?

While promoting ‘Chillar Party’, Salman Khan showed off his chiseled torso. It was during a shoot of a promo for the film that Salman Khan joking around with kids took off his shirt and all the kids followed suit.

A source present at the set said, “Salman Khan has been trying to make sure that ‘Chillar Party’ does well at theatres and is watched by many people because it’s a story with a heart. Salman has already made an appeal for the film to be made tax-free and he has also got Ranbir Kapoor do to a special item song.”

‘Chillar Party’, set to release on July 8, is a children’s film with characters named like Encyclopedia, Jhangia, Akram, Secondhand, Panauti, Silencer, Aflatoon, Shaolin and Fatka.

Well, looks like Salman has yet another hit up his sleeve!

Review: ‘Ready’ ends up being a cheesy comedy!


After the humongous success of ‘Wanted’ and ‘Dabangg’, Salman Khan is enjoying the best of times in his Bollywood innings. In Anees Bazmee’s ‘Ready’, a remake of Telugu blockbuster, Salman Khan once again plays himself with élan. Starring Asin, Paresh Rawal and Arya Babbar, despite all its stale gags, below-the-belt humour and struggling wit, the film belongs to one and only Salman Khan.


In ‘Ready’, Prem (Salman) is the son of industrialist Rajveer Kapoor (Mahesh Manjrekar), a rich spoilt brat who loves playing a perfect matchmaker for distressed souls, while his father struggles with a rare amnesia, whose dialogues and gestures are replete with double entendre.

One fine day, Sanjana (Asin) enters Prem’s life and his weird family is completely smitten by her. However, Sanjana does not reciprocate their feelings for she is not what Prem’s family thinks about her as she has her own agenda. Sanjana is on the run from her wily uncles who are desperate for her wealth.

Talking about the film, ‘Ready’ is not even remotely close to the brilliance of ‘Wanted’ and ‘Dabangg’. It is full of corny dialogues and adult humour. In fact, ‘Ready’ should have been named ‘Salman Khan’ because without the actor, there is nothing in this film, the script terribly lacks imagination, the humour is stale and the jokes are completely no-brainer.

Okay, the music is groovy and the songs are infectious, especially ‘Dhinka Chika’ and ‘Character Dheela’, but overall, the film lacks class and craft.

A big disappointment for Salman Khan fans; ‘Ready’ is one time watch film.

Ready Movie Stills - Asin and Salman Khan will romance together

Salman & Asin



Hot : Salman will finally kiss on screen


After several denials, Salman Khan has finally agreed to kiss Asin in Anees Bazmee’s ‘Ready’. Salman was at first not ready to kiss Asin at any cost but when the director of the film, Anees Bazmee explained Salman about the demand of the script, he agreed.

Even Asin tried to persuade Sallu that the kissing scene is a demand of the script and he should do the act. However, it’s not a lip-lock but a peck on the cheeks. If not a lip-lock, the director has to satisfy with a kiss on cheek only.

Salman has starred in several films over the years and acted with so many female beauties but he never lip-locked with any of his actresses in this long tenure of acting.
