Hazel Keech will enter Bigg Boss house

After making her Bollywood debut with Salman Khan, Hazel Keech is now ready to enter Bigg Boss house – another place where Salman Khan exists. It was learnt that the producers of the show had got in touch with Yana Gupta. However, she refused the offer and that is why the producers of Bigg Boss turned to another foreign actress.
Hazel Keech was seen along with Salman Khan in the film Bodyguard. If she really makes it to the house, she will be a wild card entry. She was also briefly seen in another reality show – the extremely popular comedy show, Comedy Circus on Sony TV. However, she was nothing more than a guest appearance for the show.
The actress said that she did not mind doing the show as it has become quite popular. She said while mentioning Kim Kardashian that it was a fast and easy way of becoming famous.
If the reports are to be believed, it was Salman Khan who suggested her name to the producers of the show. However, there isn’t still any positive answer from Hazel Keech and things are standing still at the moment.

Emraan Hashmi says he is luckier than Salman Khan

Salman Khan had recently said in a statement that Emraan Hashmi is one of the most underrated actors. Emraan Hashmi has had his share of comments when he said that he is luckier than Salman Khan just because he gets to kiss. Well, has Emraan Hashmi made this as a light-hearted comment?
Salman Khan has had successful films like Bodyguard, Dabangg and the most recent being Ek Tha Tiger. All the films have made huge business at the box office. However, that does not mean that he is fortunate, in Emraan’s eyes. The serial-kisser still believes that Salman Khan is unfortunate as he does not get to lock the lips.
However, Emraan Hashmi also has his share of successful films. Shanghai, The Dirty Picture, Jannat 2 and the latest being Raaz 3. He is also engaged with the shoot of Ek Thi Daayan as well as Ghanchakkar, which is a romantic comedy.

Salman Khan is the highest taxpayers in Bollywood

The lives of film stars have always been a matter of great interest to their fans, especially the private life. Salman Khan has been on a high since his films like Ready, Bodyguard, Dabangg and Ek Tha Tiger have all crossed the Rs. 100 crore-mark at the box office. No wonder, he is the highest taxpayer in Bollywood today.
Salman Khan is said to have paid advance tax of around Rs. 8 crores in July-September already. In the previous for the same duration, he had paid a tax of Rs. 5 crores. As explained the reason is that he has had four films that have crossed the Rs. 100 crore-mark.
Paying this amount has made Salman the highest taxpayer in Bollywood. The figures are said to have emerged right from the tax officials. So, they are worth believing. Salman Khan’s latest film Ek Tha Tiger had a huge collection of Rs. 198 crores.
The leading lady of Ek Tha Tiger – Katrina Kaif is known to have paid Rs. 2.70 as tax as against the Rs. 1.70 crores she paid in the previous year.

Ek Tha Tiger breaks the opening day box office records

There has been no looking back for Salman khan for some of his last films and Ek Tha Tiger is one of them. It is expected that the film will be the highest ever earner of all time. The film that released on the Independence Day grossed Rs. 32.92 on the first day itself.
The collection that almost touched Rs. 33 crores is the highest for any film in Bollywood to date. The collection done by Ek Tha Tiger was more than one third of the earnings grossed by the film Agneepath that released previously this year. Agneepath earned Rs. 24 crores while the second highest grosser before the release of Ek Tha Tiger was Ra. One by Shah Rukh Khan, which earned Rs. 23 crores.
The previous year, Salman Khan’s another film Bodyguard was released. That also broke records then. That film was also a Eid release and Ek Tha Tiger released only 4-5 days before Eid. As this is a long weekend end due to holidays coming on the trot, many film buffs are likely to queue up to the theaters.
That will give the film more profits in the days to come.

Salman Khan wants to play larger than life roles

Salman khan has been on a high for the last couple of years and now wants to play only larger than life roles for his next films. Ever since Dabangg was a super duper hit, there was no looking back for Salman bhai, as he is affectionately called. Bodyguard was also a hit and that broke records all over.
He said that he would not mind playing the characters for drama, romance or even action. He wants to depict heroism in his movies. For that reason he is targeting roles that are larger than life. He said that he would like to depict heroism in all the field in the life.
At the same time he kept his options open for doing comedy or romantic films, though he has been widely accepted as an action hero. Speaking about the audience he said that he was looking to work in films those could be watched by the entire families together.
His next film is Ek Tha Tiger, which is directed by Kabir Khan. Salman, who plays a RAW agent, stars opposite Katrina Kaif in the film. The film is scheduled for release on August 15 – India’s Independence Day.

Salman Khan is Katrina Kaif’s ‘bodyguard’?

Though Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif might not share the same feelings as before, there is hardly any doubt that he is still the ‘bodyguard’ of his ex-flame. Salman has always been there to rescue Katrina whenever she landed in trouble. There is one more example of the same when once again Salman went on to protect his former ladylove.
This incident happened in Ahmadabad when the two stars were there to interact with the fans as well as the media. As a matter of fact, Salman Khan stepped on the soil of the city for the first time ever in his career. No wonder the crowds there were extremely huge and so naturally unmanageable.
Seeing the sea of people, Salman Khan decided to turn back and move to Mumbai immediately. Actually, his main concern was Katrina and he was least bothered about himself. Katrina’s friend says that there was actually no casualty. However, in the excitement of seeing the superstars there, they jostled. That is when the real safety question for Katrina popped up in Salman’s mind.
Salman Khan has always been known to protect the women at public places, be it his family members or his co-stars.

Kareena Kapoor to be cast in item song for Dabangg 2

It is being speculated that the bold and beautiful Kareena Kapoor will set the screens on fire with her sizzling performance for an item number in Dabangg 2. In Dabangg, it was Malaika Arora Khan who literally made the young generation crazy with her ‘Munni badnaam hui’ item song. It is now the turn of Kareena Kapoor to do a Munni.
Kareena Kapoor has been known for her excellent dance sequences and she is an acclaimed dancer herself. She has shown her dancing abilities through various songs through the films she has acted in. However, saying yes to an item song that has such a huge popularity graph is no child’s play. Kareena will have to give her best, as there will naturally be comparison between Malaika Arora Khan and Kareena Kapoor.
Bodyguard, Ek Mai Aur Ekk Tu and Jab We Met are some of the films which were hits and has seen Kareena be an important part of all of them. Who will forget the item song from Farhan Akhtar’s film Don?
Though Kareena has a good history of delivering hit numbers, the sequel to Dabangg will be a different ballgame altogether.

Agneepath earns more than Bodyguard on opening day

There is Agneepath, Agneepath and Agneepath all the way. When we heard that Bodyguard had been the highest grosser on the opening day in the history of the Hindi cinema, we thought that was it. It would take ages before the record is broken. However, it was just a matter of a few months to materialize.
Agneepath has earned more than what Bodyguard had earned on the opening day – an earning of Rs. 23 cr. Salman Khan starrer Bodyguard had earned Rs. 21.6 cr. It was a record in its own way. But Agneepath came strongly to earn slightly more than Rs. 1.6 cr. on the first day.
The film was released on the occasion of India’s Republic Day – Thursday, January 26. That was a good occasion for the people to take a break from the work and redeem themselves with a movie from the stable of Karan Johar.
With such a huge earning on the first day itself, it remains to be seen how the film fares in the opening week. Keep coming back here to know the latest about the BO collection of Agneepath.

Kareena Kapoor has been voted as sexiest Asian woman

A survey shows that Kareena Kapoor has been voted as the sexiest Asian woman in the world. The survey was conducted by the Eastern Eye, a weekly magazine. The survey was conducted by the weekly with the help of the social networking sites like Twitter. There were a good number of voters to choose Kareena as the sexiest woman.
Last year, Katrina Kaif was the winner of this title. However, the competition was tough this time around as the margin of victory for Bebo was just about 1%. The recent hits like Bodyguard and Ra.One seem to have worked in Kareena Kapoor’s favor. And it is these two films that could have given the title to Bebo as the memories of these hit films are still fresh (in people’s minds).
It was tough times for Kareena Kapoor as there was fierce competition from beautiful ladies from all across the globe. Interestingly, Katrina Kaif was the winner of this title for three years on the trot before Kareena bagged it from her. Each time, Katrina won the title handsomely.
Among other Indian beauties, Katrina Kaif, Priyanka Chopra and Bipasha Basu came on the second, third fourth positions respectively.

Salman Khan’s back in Mumbai after a month


Since Salman Khan became a superstar, it might be the first occasion that he was out of Mumbai at a stretch for so many days. Initially, he went to the United States for his treatment and then he was shooting for Ek Tha Tiger along with Katrina Kaif. The shooting was in Dublin.
He arrived at the Sahara airport in Mumbai in the early hours of Wednesday. He visibly looked a bit tired. That was quite understandable as the journey could have taken a toll on him.
He will now be seen on the small screen along with Sanjay Dutt. The two mega stars are scheduled to host the next season of the reality show Bigg Boss. The shooting for the show will get underway soon.
Salman Khan has proved to be a great success with his last three films being great hits. Dabangg, Ready and finally Bodyguard took Salman’s success graph soaring to great heights. Records were set and broken since the release of Dabangg last year.

Why is Bollywood desperate for publicity?


The PR offices in Mumbai are flooded with offers and work currently. If on one side there is the highest numbers of films made in India, then on the other, they are the most aggressively marketed of the lots at this time. There has never been such a situation in Bollywood before. What is driving all to promote films so harder?
There has been every possible step used to promote films. The most important factors have been the social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook. Apart from that the small screen has also been used to the fullest. Shahid Kapoor played a weather reporter for the promotion of his film Mausam.
One of the very recent examples was the felicitation done by Kareena Kapoor of bodyguards in real life. Shera, Salman Khan’s bodyguard for more than 15 years now did the honors to promote the film as Salman was in the States for medical attention.
Amitabh Bachchan was the guest principal in colleges during the promotion of Aarakshan. Genelia and John Abraham ‘married accidentally’ in Force. The host couple of Sanjay Dutt and Salman Khan had a forged war of words to promote Bigg Boss 5. And how can we forget the ‘jalebibai’ – Mallika Sherawat,
who literally made jalebis to promote Double Dhamaal.

Salman Khan is the Rajanikanth of Bollywood


Be it dialogues or making a hit film, Salman Khan is no less than the Rajanikanth of Bollywood. It was pretty much obvious when the shooting of Bodyguard was on. The men who were at the receiving end were the writers. It was not always that Salman spoke those lines which were actually written by the script writers.
There were many such dialogues that were not scripted by the writers before but Salman Khan spoke them during the actual shooting. The director of the film, Siddique was flabbergasted when he knew that Salman Khan was speaking lines which were never written for him. But he could hardly say anything to Sallu.
Not many may know, but Siddique is one such director who has his say the final one. He has directed films in the south too. But senior actors there also do not go ahead against the trend that Siddique wants. However, the director felt that he did not say anything to Salman about the changes in dialogues as there is very little he could do.
Salman Khan is whimsical, the director says. Therefore, it is difficult to make him change his mind. But whatever, Bodyguard is creating records, both in the domestic market and in the foreign market as well.

Bodyguard is not my super hit film: Salman Khan


Bodyguard may have worked in favor of Salman Khan with a grand opening on Wednesday. However, Salman is not ready to believe that Bodyguard is a super ht film. His brother-in-law, Atul Agnihotri, has said in his statements that Salman is not in the mood to believe that the film has broken box-office records.
But after all why would Salman Khan think on the negative lines? Is it that, in the US, he is unaware of how warm response the film is getting in India? Or is he still reeling under the success of Dabangg? But what exactly is the reason for Sallu to think so? The reason is his physical uneasiness before the film released and the surgery that followed in the United States.
As a matter of fact, Salman Khan thinks that people close to him are saying all these just to cheer him up. He underwent an eight-hour surgery and needs some mental rest as well. The news of a good response to the film will do him a lot of good; this is what Salman thinks and which is why he is being told such news.
Atul Agnihotri, who is also the co-producer of the film, says that Salman is not convinced about the success of the film. Atul says that it is right for Salman to think on these lines as he is not directly in touch with the sources as he is away from Mumbai.

Kareena Kapoor hopes Salman Khan gets totally healthy


For the past some days, Salman Khan, the protagonist of his upcoming film Bodyguard is not keeping well. Salman has been experiencing pain in his head, cheeks and jaws like never before. Salman Khan is currently in the United States to undergo the latest available treatment for his sudden pain.
His heroine in the film, Kareena Kapoor feels that Salman Khan should have left for the US earlier as and when he had decided about going there for better treatment. However, Salman wanted his film to get promoted first. He gave his film more importance than his own health. That is the reason why he left for the US on a later date.
But Kareena Kapoor is one of the many who are praying for Salman Khan’s speedy recovery. She disclosed that he was expected to leave for the States on the 20th of this month – August. However, he decided to go there after promoting his film. This took some extra efforts on Sallu’s part to fight his health problems.
Bodyguard has been released today, as expected on Eid. However Salman is not here to get the latest news about the reports of how his film is doing. Salman’s two previous films which were released on Eid did extremely well at the box office. We hope Bodyguard does well too and hope for Salman Khan’s speedy recovery.

Sonakshi Sinha wants the item number all for herself


The much talked about item number in which Sonakshi Sinha is the leading lady, is in the news. The item number is in the film Joker. The item number in the film is to be shot on Sonakshi Sinha. According to the ‘rumors’ Minissha Lamba, the other leading lady in the film came to know about the same.
When Minissha came to know about this, she requested Sonakshi to allow her to be a part of that item song as well. However, how can Sonakshi do that? She wanted Minissha to remain out of the song. Enjoying the song as a single and lone lady in an item song is certainly Sonakshi’s desire.
Shirish Kunder, who is the producer of the film, had to find a solution to keep both the ladies happy. To keep Minissha happy, Shirish promised her a music video for the film. However, Minissha Lamba was not too pleased.
As a matter of fact, Sonakshi had a couple of reasons to refuse the inclusion of Minissha in the item song. There were a couple of examples of Zarine Khan’s item song in Ready and that of Katrina Kaif’s item song in Bodyguard, in which Kareena Kapoor is the leading lady.
Minissha Lamba decided to evade the question tactfully about her exclusion from the item song.

Kareena Kapoor to pay respects to real-life bodyguards


As Kareena Kapoor is getting ready for the release of her film Bodyguard, she has come up with a unique idea. The idea is of honoring the real-life bodyguards. For that, she will be getting in touch with the bodyguards of Saif Ali Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan, Akshay Kumar and Aamir Khan.
Her notion behind honoring the bodyguards is to show respect towards their work and honest commitment. They have been doing their duties of protecting the super stars tremendously well. And that is why Kareena Kapoor wants to show that there is a relation of give and take.
Salman Khan is not behind in the race. Even he is taking the opportunity to show respect towards his bodyguard. Salman has asked Shera, who is his bodyguard for almost 15 years now, to launch the promos of Bodyguard. These two good signs will certainly bring in a good change and attitude towards the bodyguards.
Atul Agnihotri, who has produced the film, will be released on Eid.

Is Salman Khan scripting Dabangg 2?


It seems that the formula for a hit has finally been found. We are talking about Salman Khan and Dabangg. What Salman did in Dabangg was certainly mind-blowing and out of the world. There was a perfect ingredient and all the masala for a great dish. Now the same is being implemented in his next film Bodyguard.
The trailers of Bodyguard that are playing now show some kind of similarity between the original Malayalam movie and the ones those are being played. However, a closer look will show that all is not a photo stat copy of the original. In fact, there is the Salman Khan factor in it.
Well, now let’s come back to Dabangg. As a matter of fact, Salman Khan is taking special interest in the scripting of the sequel of Dabangg. It is learnt that Sallu wants to use his ‘formula’ in all his films now. However, Salman has refused the reports that he is anyhow involved in scripting the sequel.
He admitted that the script has been written by Arbaaz Khan and he has nothing to do with it, and neither will he be involved in penning anything in the future.

Is Salman Khan admitted to hospital?


There were reports doing the rounds that Chulbul Pandey aka Salman Khan has not been feeling well. He was so unwell that, he had to be admitted in hospital. It was reported that the macho man was admitted in the Saifee hospital and would be undergoing an angiography.
It was being reported since yesterday (Thursday) night that the actor was not feeling well. He needed some urgent medical attention and that is why he had to be admitted to the Saifee hospital.
However, sources close to the actor have denied the truth in the reports. According to them, the actor is hale and hearty. There is nothing to worry about the health of Salman Khan, the source said. Whatever the news reports were, all were false, the source said.
The source, it was not known who he/she was, told that they both were together until late Thursday night. The source also said that Salman Khan was busy promoting his forthcoming film Bodyguard. The statements of this source seems true as the hospital sources also denied that the star was admitted in their hospital at any time.
