Salman Khan cold to Shahid and warm to Rani

Salman Khan is one actor in Bollywood who is known to have more enemies than friends. His list of foes is a long one including big stars like SRK and Salman Khan. Sallu Bhai also shares cold vibes with Shahid Kapoor which has its roots to their fights during the Rockstar tour a few years back.

Salman is not the one to bury the hatchets easily. So, when Shahid and Rani Mukherjee appeared on his show ‘Dus Ka Dum’ to promote their upcoming film, ‘Dil Bole Hadippa’, Salman was seen being dry and indifferent to Shahid.

Salman was very warm and comfortable with Rani Mukherjee and kept on hugging her, but he welcomed Shahid with a dry ‘Hi’ and was cold to him during the entire show. The show will be aired on September 12.

The thought is whether it was professional on Salman’s part to cold shoulder a celebrity guest on his show?

Check out Rani Mukherjee in her extra short black dress and do not forget to let us know your comment.

Mumbai, July 29 (IANS) On his 50th birthday Wednesday, Bollywood's troubled star Sanjay Dutt says his only wish is to leave his chequered past behind and move ahead as a free man.
'In the last 18 years, I've been fighting for my freedom and I feel the burden of the struggle now. I want to be free,' Sanjay told IANS from Cape Town, South Africa.
'I want to walk into any consulate and get my visa. I want my passport to be with me. I want to visit any country I want. Most important of all I want the court cases to end,' added the actor who battled with drug addiction and was also convicted in the 1993 Mumbai blasts under the arms act.
He says now he wishes for his 'freedom'.
'Can you gift me my freedom for my birthday? Otherwise the biggest gift god has given me is my wife Manyata. I'm very lucky to have her by my side,' said the actor who is currently in Cape Town shooting 'No Problem'
Friends from different parts of the world have flown in to celebrate the day and Sanjay says he also wanted his sisters - Namrata and Priya - to join him on this special day in his life.
'I've invited them. The day I turn 50 is important for me. And I'd like my family to be near me. I wish they could be here. No matter what misunderstandings we had, I'd like to wash them away on my 50th birthday.'
Excerpts from an interview:
Q: In Mumbai, the buzz is that your friends and family are flying in for your birthday?
A: I don't want any celebrations until Amar Singhji (Samajwadi Party general secretary) recovers. Once he returns to Delhi, I'll have a birthday celebration with him. But I heard from the grapevine here that the unit of 'No Problem' are planning a small get-together for my birthday. But when I asked them they said, no party. But my friends are flying down.
Q: Who are they?
A: Paresh from Chicago. I've known him for the last 25 years. We've grown up together. Then there's Mac from Los Angeles, another old and dear friend. Imran Ismail, who's here in South Africa. These are my three best friends who will be here on my birthday.
Q: And from Mumbai?
A: Well I heard Bunty Walia is coming. Everything he does is announced on Facebook. So he has announced he's coming for my birthday.
Q: Have you invited your sisters?
A: Yes, I have. I've invited them. The day I turn 50 is important for me. And I'd like my family to be near me. That's the way my parents would've wanted it. I wish they could be here, but they're busy with their own lives. No matter what misunderstandings we had, I'd like to wash them away on my 50th birthday. It's sad they can't be here. But I'm sure they've more important things to do.
Q: Tell me about your most memorable birthday?
A: They've all been memorable in their own way, even the ones that came in my worst days. I don't like a big birthday bash. I just want my near ones on my birthday. It's tough to remember my past. But I want to move on.
Q: It's very difficult to imagine Sanju Baba being 50.
A: At heart I'm still Baba. But when I look into the mirror, it's a reality. And I do feel 50, but not old. I've been in the film industry for so long. Yes, it's been a long innings. In the last 18 years, I've been fighting for my freedom and I feel the burden of the struggle now. I want to be free, Subhash.
I want to walk into any consulate and get my visa. I want my passport to be with me. I want to visit any country I want. Most important of all, I want the court cases to end.
Q: So your mentor is recovering?
A: He is not my mentor. He is my brother and family. Amar Singhji stands by his friends and we've to stand by our friends. As soon as I get my visa, I'll fly down from here (in Cape Town) to Singapore to spend a couple of days with him.
Q: So this friendship will last?
A: I've been betrayed by so-called friends many times. But this time I feel I've found a true friend. I've known him for 16 years. He has always stood by me, always been there in the worst situations in my life.
Q: Your one birthday wish?
A: Freedom. Can you gift me my freedom for my birthday? Otherwise the biggest gift god has given me is my wife Manyata. She has stood by me and supported me unconditionally. I'm very lucky to have her by side.
Q: What about a baby?
A: If that happens my happiness would be complete.

It is a known fact that the noted television star Prachi Desai was an Ekta Kapoor favourite and that fact that she even debuted opposite Farhan Akhtar

It is a known fact that the noted television star Prachi Desai was an Ekta Kapoor favourite and that fact that she even debuted opposite Farhan Akhtar in Abhishek Kapoor's (Tusshar & Ekta's cousin) Rock On was a plus!

It followed that Tusshar was extremely hot on Prachi and recommended her for a part opposite him in Abbas-Mustan and Studio 18's forthcoming comedy, Life Partner.

Prachi's entry meant Rimi Sen's exit. The Dhoom and Johnny Gaddar actress was being considered by the makers but all those plans went for a toss when Prachi came on the scene.

Remarks Tusshar, "It's true that I wanted Prachi in Life Partner because she fit the character really well and is a fresh face. I have no idea about someone else being considered."

Life Partner releases on August 14 by Studio 18.

Shahrukh 'Badshah' Khan and the exquisite beauty, Aishwarya Rai according to reports will now sizzle together on the 70mm screen

A popular pairing in Bollywood, the two actors had fallen out and which was subsequently followed by a cold war after the ouster of Ash from Shahrukh home production movie 'Chalte Chalte' due to Salman Khan's unruly behaviour on the sets of the same movie.

What followed was a dry spell during which neither actor worked with each other.

However, recently the news has spread that the two in question hav decided to bury their hatchet and feature together in a movie, which incidentally will be produced by SRK's 'Red Chillies Entertainment'.

While the other details regarding the movie are still unknown, what we hear is that the two powerhouse actors will feature together to re-create the magic like 'Devdas'.

The shooting of the movie is expected to commence in 2010.

Hrithik-Aish starring Bhansali film titled Guzarish

Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s upcoming next starring Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has finally got its title. It has been titled, Guzaarish. The film is scheduled to go on floors by end of 2009. Reportedly, this film is a remake of Christopher Nolan’s acclaimed hit, The Prestige. It was also speculated whether who would be producing the films along with Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Bhansali’s last film was a co-production with Hollywood giant Sony Picture Company. Our industry sources claim, the Hrithik – Aish starrer is a 50-50 joint venture between Bhansali and UTV. Now incidentally, Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s last film together, Jodhaa Akbar was also a UTV production. Reportedly, Salman Khan is miffed with Bhansali and has vowed never to work with him again. Reason being, it was his idea to the bearded maker to remake the Hollywood dark thriller, but Bhansali kept him in the dark and began the project with Hrithik instead

Salman Khan’s 10 Ka Dum gets an extension

Salman Khan’s 10 Ka Dum has truly turned out to be more popular in its second season. It is a never before achieved feat by any big Bollywood star till date on Indian television, and for this, the show has been aptly gifted with a special extension.

It is learnt that Salman has been told to shoot for 13 more episodes, which will be divided across 13 more weeks, naturally. Sony Entertainment Television has got a new resuscitation of sorts with this reality game show, with their other shows flagging in popularity. They were surprised to see huge demand and especially for the recently shown non-celebrity episodes.

However, the unanimous opinion by one and all is that- its Salman’s charisma that is winning the hearts of the participants and the audiences alike.

One can recall, Salman reduced his fee for the second season of the show, taking into consideration the ongoing recession period, but despite that he seems to be giving value for money to the makers and his fans.
