Sallu making amends

Salman Khan is turning over a new leaf. The actor, known for his alcohol-fueled temper, seems to be fixing bridges all over Bollywood. His most recent olive branch extension was to the Bachchans. Sallu had been in a long term relationship with Aishwarya Rai but after it ended, the accusations flowed fast on Salman's character and relations with the underworld, particularly from Ash's then-boyfriend Vivek Oberoi.

The Bachchan's have not been too friendly with Salman either after Ash and Abhishek married but Sallu seems to want to rectify this.

Salman recently visited Abhishek on set and had a long conversation with him in his vanity van, with sources saying that Salman (who's an amateur painter) offering to make posters for Abhi's new film Drona. The source reports that while Sallu was in Abhi's van, Abhi showed him promotional material for Drona which he had on his laptop and Salman asked if it would be OK to paint one of the posters. Abhishek was very pleased with the offer and was on-board for the painting.

So has Salman really tried to sort things out? Or is he dividing Bollywood up for when he has his big showdown with Shah Rukh Khan?

Salman Khan is dying...

Ha! Not really. I just wanted to jazz it up a bit. Because... Y'know... Who cares if Salman Khan got food poisoning and is vomiting? He's like... 50 anyway. That's what 50 year olds do. They vomit and get old.

Anyway.

Salman Khan has got food poisoning and is holding up the shooting for his upcoming movie, Yuvraaj, due to his... ahem... Stomach problems (i.e. He's vomiting like Linda Blair in The Exorcist... Or like Tara Reid in real life).

A source says,

"Salman was not feeling well on his arrival on sets so he was resting for a while before starting his shooting."

"But then as he started vomiting continously, he decided it was pack up time for him for the day. He left the sets immediately to go home and take rest. It was a result of a stomach upset as he was heard saying so to the production members."
"Only a few days of shoot for Yuvraaj is left as the film is almost complete. But now with Salman's participation being a must in it, the shooting has been completely stopped until he gets well and ready to shoot. It may now happen in next month only."

Meh. It's just going to be a movie in which Salman Khan plays himself. Really loudly. And then he gets into "hilarious" scrapes stolen frame by frame from some mainstream Hollywood movie. After which he falls over repeatedly. At the end of the movie he learns an important lesson (Usually on controlling his anger), after which a girl who is young enough to be his daughter decides that he is definitely the man of her dreams. Apparently most 20 year olds dream of 50 year old men with thinning hair, bags under their eyes, pierced belly buttons and rapidly declining libido's.

...So basically like every Salman Khan movie of the last 10 years.

I genuinely believe that Salman Khan should stop making movies. Instead he can sit at home and re-release Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya every year with a different title.

Maybe Salman is compensating for something...

When he decided to shoot a very expensive song for his new film Veer.

Salman Khan is still branching out (first it was painting, then charities, now this) and has written a song for Veer. In a tribute to his great talent, director Anil Sharma set aside 3.5 crore (35 million) rupees for the shooting of the song that involves 600 junior artists.

The song took 11 days to shoot and also included Sohail Khan and Mithun Chakraborty, although the name of the new actress starring with Salman is still being kept a secret. Since Sallu wrote the song, he contributed a lot to its conceptualization and was on set for the entire 11 days, even when his scenes weren't being shot.

The whopper of a cash bundle set aside for the song makes it the most costliest song ever recorded in Bollywood, even beating out Jodha-Akbar's 'Azeemoshaan Shahenshah' which used to be the most expensive.

No one knows yet what Veer is about, but after God Tussi Great Ho and the assumed flop that will be Yuvraaj, Sallu will be hoping for a hit to save his floundering career.

Salman Khan wants to get married... Katrina Kaif laughs...

Bollywood's eternal bachelor has reached that stage of his life where you get two options,

1) Get cats. Hire hookers and/or gold-diggers. Die alone in a pool of your own drool and phlegm.
2) Marry a gold-digger. Have kids. Die happy in the knowledge that you'll be leaving those disgusting children of yours behind.

Salman Khan has (quite stupidly) decided to go with option 2. After being harangued about his marriage arrangements for the last 10 years, Salman has announced that he will get married next year and plans to introduce his spawn into the world ASAP.

He says,

"I will marry next year, I’m settling down in 2009 and would like to become a father immediately."

Awesome! However it would've been even more awesome, had he told his girlfriend that he would be making her his wife within the next 6 months.

When Singh is Kinng star, Katrina Kaif was told of Salman Khan's wedding plans she reacted with something approaching shock. And then she tried to laugh it off saying,

"I think Salman said whatever he wanted to say. Let people make of it whatever they want. I have never commented on the personal side in the media. I don't wish to start right now."

God, I hope these two get married. If only to get Katrina Kaif-Akshay Kumar jodi away from Bollywood. If I have to watch another movie of those two retards "acting"... I'll... I'll... Probably turn it off. Like I always do. Then watch it in five minute bursts. So as not scratch off my face due to the terrible acting.

This is obviously going on the presumption that Salman Khan forces Katrina Kaif to retire post-marriage. But I don't think there's any doubt he'll do that. Y'know... Because... It's Salman Khan. It's what he does.

Salman and Katrina: Making history... One bad movie at a time...

Salman Khan is set to star in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's upcoming Bajirao Mastani, a period film set in rural India, alongside real-life girlfriend, Katrina Kaif. Bhansali who is known to extract good performances from mediocre actors (Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai in Hum DIl De Chuke Sanam) will have his work cut out with Katrina Kaif who's acting "ability" falls just short of Marilyn Monroe... current Marilyn Monroe... as in dead, decomposed Marilyn Monroe. Umm... May she rest in peace.

It wasn't supposed to be this tough for the opulent (read: wasteful and over-confident) Bhansali, who first offered the role to Aishwarya Rai and then to Kareena Kapoor before finally settling on Katrina Kaif.

I think Bhansali must have picked Katrina Kaif purely on her box office record. I mean... 1 flop in 10 films is quite impressive. It really tells you how far you can get in Bollywood with reasonable looks and no talent if you just somehow... merge... with the background.

Let's hope this film isn't as bad as the flop that was Saawariya... What was up with all the blue in that movie? I went in with such high expectations only to be faced with cinematography that wouldn't have looked out of place in a porno. I half expected the cast to rip off their clothes and indulge in a gang bang.

I was very disappointed. By the movie I mean. Not by the fact that they didn't have a gang bang...

...Why didn't they have a gang bang?

... Come to think of it, I'm also disappointed that they didn't have a gang bang.

Salman Khan-Making Waves on the Fashion Scene

The handsome and popular star Salman Khan seems to be making the headlines nowadays with his new avatar. He is one who never stops surprising the audience and has been re-inventing himself time and again. The actor has decided to make a foray into yet another creative field. This time it’s the fashion field that has caught the fancy of the actor.  He has decided to launch his own clothing line. With designing help from sister Alvira Khan, the new fashion wear should soon be ready to make the headlines. Salman sure knows how to make news and also rake in the moolah.

Many of the Bollywood stars are turning to the fashion world with the name, fame and money that the field promises to offer. From lending their name to top clothing brands, the stars are now turning to launching their very own clothing line. Actor John Abraham along with Wrangler the top brand has launched his own fashion line. Soon to enter the field are the beautiful actresses Kareena Kapoor and Bipasha Basu. With several Bollywood stars planning their entry to the hep and happening fashion scene, it sure is going to be tough competition out there. Way to go!!

Salman is Crazy and Possessive

He’s crazily possessive…and he can’t seem to let go of a grudge. Even though Salman Khan has often proved that he’s very generous and sweet, sometimes his behaviour borders on child-like as he holds petty grudges against actors.

It has been reported that Salman Khan supposedly forbid an unofficial girlfriend Katrina Kaif from acting in Ken Ghosh’s next project. The reason? Because she’ll be acting opposite Shahid Kapoor. It doesn’t make sense to me why Salman would freak over his girlfriend acting with a cutie like Shahid…oh wait, I get it. Yeah, I couldn’t be trusted alone with Shahid either.

Salman insists that trust isn’t an issue, he just doesn’t like Shahid Kapoor. There’s been reported tension between Sallu and Shahid since a world tour but I didn’t know it was that bad. A source gives us some details, 

“Everything was hunky dory till recently. Apparently, Katrina has problems with the dates and consequently, wants to opt out. But the real reason is that Salman doesn’t want her to work with Shahid because he has had a spat with the actor during a world tour in the past,” 

Firstly, the source needs to leave the 80’s and stop using words like “hunky dory” and secondly, Salman needs to take that out that belly-piercing because it’s turning him into a spiteful cheerleader. Ken will be OK however, as he still has Jiah Khan as his back-up starlet. Luckily she doesn’t have a crazy boyfriend.

Salman Khan is desperate to prove he's gay...

Bollywood bad boy Salman Khan is set to follow in the footsteps of John Abraham and Kareena Kapoor by launching his very own clothing brand. The clothes will be designed by Salman himself as well as by his sister, designer Alvira Khan.

Salman's weird... (ahem)... paintings will be printed on the clothes and the line will also include fashion accessories (manly). To make sure that no one in the civilized world misses out on his new project, an internet site is set to be launched.

... How is Salman Khan still considered a "manly man" in Bollywood? It's ridiculous! He has a belly button ring people! And he designs clothes! With accessories!

Can you imagine what would've happened to Charlton Heston's (may he rest in peace) career had he decided to get a belly button ring and design clothes? How about Daniel Day Lewis?

Could we have expected to hear the immortal lines, "Take your stinking paws off me you damned dirty ape!"?

Of course not! What we could expect to hear was, "Sorry Charlton... you're a bit too feminine for this role... But you really should've auditioned for Mary Poppins four years ago... You'd've been perfect".

The Indian media needs to stop calling Salman a "bad boy"... or boy (I know I called him that at the start of this post but I won't anymore... from... now on!). I think something along the lines of "gender-confused" would be more fitting. Harsh? Perhaps. But once a guy gets a belly button ring he automatically turns down his right to any masculine objectification. FACT! 

... Did I mention that he designs clothes as well?

Note: How's he going to design shirts anyway. I don't think anyone has ever seen him wearing one. I bet he'll just pick up random items of clothing asking, "Is this a shirt?". I'm intuitive.
