Abhinav Kashyap and Arbaaz Khan patch up at Sunil Bohra’s party

The long-lasting silent war between director Abhinav Kashyap and Arbaaz Khan finally came to an end at the producer Sunil Bohra’s party. It was something usual for the guests and onlookers present there. However, it is true that the two warring pillars of Dabangg have finally forgotten the difference.
Abhinav Kashyap had refused to direct the sequel to Dabangg and things started falling out ever since. The party that took place on Monday night proved to be an occasion of patching up for the two parties. The two of them spent as many as three hours with each other and talked and talked and talked.
Abhinav Kashyap arrived at the party quite early and Arbaaz Khan, who showed up literally after midnight, greeted and hugged. It was something unique for the other guests to see as they were shocked to see what they were seeing. And it was certainly difficult to believe what they were watching.
No wonder, Abhinav Kashyap was eager to know how the Khan brothers were working on the film and Arbaaz was kind enough to reveal the details.
Well, it’s certainly a good sight to see that the two estranged professional have finally come together.

Kareena Kapoor back to work with Dabangg 2 item song


It’s again working time for the new bride of Bollywood, Kareena Kapoor. She will start her work with the item song in the film Dabangg 2. The film shooting will be the first one for her after her marriage to Saif Ali Khan a couple of weeks ago. There will certainly be a lot to talk about when Kareena Kapoor will be seen on the sets.
The shooting for Kareena Kapoor stars next month in November. Interestingly, it will be the shooting of the item number for Dabangg 2. It is said that the item song will be revolving around ‘Fevicol’. The shooting starts in the first week of November.
The coincidence (it might be a coincidence so to say) of the item song in both film is that they are focusing on a product. In the first film, the song was around Zandu Balm and this time around it will be Fevicol. There is no doubt that the Munni aka Malaika Arora Khan set the sets on fire. It will be a big challenge for Kareena to come up with something even more spectacular. Just something similar will not do.

Salman Khan to be projected as larger than life in Dabangg 2

The larger than life image of Salman Khan is going to accompany him in Dabangg 2 as well. For once, it will not be exaggeration to say that the image will remain with him for the rest of his life. His brother Arbaaz Khan also said that his heroism will stay with him and that is what the audience expects.
Speaking about Dabangg 2, Arbaaz said that the audience should expect in Dabangg 2 what they had seen in Dabangg. As a matter of fact, the film itself is no less in itself. The trait and the peculiarity of Chulbul Pandey will be there to be seen once again in the sequel.
The work of the sequel in itself was a challenge due to the benchmarks Dabangg has set upfront. Writing the script is a brave task for the writers. The way Salman Khan’s character has developed from the film Wanted, the same has remained the tune for the success of Salman Khan films.
The shooting of Dabangg 2 is currently underway in Kanpur. The production team is working very carefully to see to it that the magic created by Dabangg remains intact in the sequel too.

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.

Malaika Arora Khan prefers items songs to acting

Malaika Arora Khan – wife of Arbaaz Khan and now popularly recognized as Munni, has said that she would be better off doing item songs rather than going for acting entirely. There is no doubt that the tag of ‘item girl’ seems to be taking over the actresses of Bollywood. No wonder, Malaika Arora Khan is also one of them.
However, it would be wrong to say that Malaika Arora Khan is vying for the tag of an item girl. We have to admit it that she deserves to be called as the original item girl of the entertainment industry, especially Bollywood. Malaika has no qualms against this tag and is more than happy to go with it.
Her dancing talents have got her to be the judge of the dancing reality show India's Got Talent. Apart from that, she is also actively involved in the production of the sequel of Dabangg as well. So, it is but natural for one question to pop up in everyone’s minds – will she have an itemsong in the sequel as well?
However, as a professional, Malaika Arora Khan has kept this thing under the wraps. She said that even she does not know anything about this (there were talks that Kareena Kapoor might have an item song in the sequel) and is concentrating on the production only.

Tabu to do an item number in Maximum


As the trend of item numbers is spreding, the next in the line is Tabu for the film Maximum. Dabangg star Sonu Sood and the veteran Naseeruddin Shah will also be seen in the film. If Tabu accepts and the item song is shot on her, she will be one of the leading ladies of Bollywood who are inclining more towards doing item numbers.
Tabu has in fact taken a break from the film world as of now. However, she is likely to set the screens on fire with her hot and sizzling performance. Neha Dhupia along with Vinay Pathak will also be seen in the film. The film will be released on April 13.

Dabangg 2 generates Rs. 50 crores

The shooting for Dabangg 2 is yet to start and it has already earned Rs. 50 crores in the kitty. The shooting is slated to begin from the early days of March. However, the film has already started to generate revenue for Arbaaz Khan – the producer of the film and brother of Salman Khan.
Star Network is said to have purchased the satellite rights for as many as 11 years. The rights are supposed to be bought for a sum of Rs. 50 cr. If the sources are to be believed, the amount paid of Star Network is the largest ever for a film for its satellite rights.
T-series, the music company has bought the music rights for Rs. 10 crores.
It will be a directorial debut for Arbaaz Khan. The sequel will see the same pair of Sonakshi Sinha and Salman Khan. Dabangg was directed by Abhinav Kashyap. Dabangg was produced with a total budget of Rs. 30 crores and another Rs. 12 crores were set aside for marketing. It seems the sequel will break these records too.
The film is scheduled for Christmas release.

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.

Bipasha Basu wants Rs. 1cr for Munni Badnaam Hui

There was a time when item songs were not considered good for top heroines. But for Bipasha Basu (and many other A-grade actresses), item numbers have become a point of prestige. The demand for the songs is constantly on the rise and so is the amount demanded. For the latest records, the dusky Bengali beauty is demanding a whopping sum of Rs. 1 crore for one such item number.
Bipasha has demanded the sum for the Telugu version of the item song Munni Badnaam Hui. A Telugu remake of the Hindi film, Dabangg is shortly to be remade. The makers are looking an actress who will play Malaika Arora Khan – the original Munni in the original song.
The producers are ready to give her Rs. 50 lakhs for the song. However, she is asking twice that amount. Though the film makers have not totally neglected such a huge demand from Bipasha, they are trying to find a solution.
Keep your fingers crossed to know more about the developments!

Sonakshi Sinha quits Race 2 for Dabangg 2

Sonakshi Sinha had literally no option but to quit the race for Race 2 and go back for Dabangg 2 with the Khans. One call from Arbaaz Khan and Sonakshi had no choice but to go back where she started her Bollywood career. Sonakshi had already given her dates for Race 2.
But now Sonakshi would be doing the sequel of the film that made her a household name almost overnight. As a matter, Arbaaz Khan, who is the producer of Dabangg 2 believes that someone preferring to move out of the Khan clan are doing Abhinav Kashyap’s next film.
Arbaaz Khan has made up his mind when it comes to the cast of Dabangg 2. There is no doubt that he wants Sonakshi in the sequel as well. this has now gone on to become a prestige point for him.
In the meantime Abhinav Kashyap is also preparing for his next film. Abhinav Kashyap had unceremonious fallout with the Khan brothers. However, as far as Sonakshi is concerned, it is a very difficult time for her. Abbas and Mustan have very close relations with Shatrughan and Poonam Sinha – Sonakshi’s parents.
Sonakshi has cancelled all her engagements and has decided to devote her time to the shooting of the Dabangg sequel that goes on the floors from March 2012 onwards.

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.

The work for the script of Dabangg 2 is on its way. The first draft is finished already. Producer Arbaaz Khan has given this latest information about the developments of the film. There is a lot of hype around the sequel to Dabangg. Dabangg created and broke records at the box office, when it released last year.
The work on the film is on. They are now all waiting for the dates of Salman Khan. Once the dates and other technical things are finalized, the shooting for the film will start. However, it is easier said than done. The shooting of the film will not start for approximately another year.
According to Arbaaz Khan, the actual shooting will start only in mid-September in 2012 – exactly a year later. However, Arbaaz is rather nervous about making the sequel to Dabangg. He admitted that there would certainly be higher expectations after the success of Dabangg. However, he is up for the task.
The film Dabangg was one of the many hits dished out by Salman Khan. It earned around Rs. 145 crores. Sonakshi Sinha is considered to be the find of Dabangg.

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.

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.

Salman Khan, Aamir Khan and Ajay Devgan: Films worth Rs. 100 cr.


Salman Khan, Aamir Khan – two prominent Khans in Bollywood along with Ajay Devgan is the top three actors whose films have grossed more than Rs. 100 cr. The figures are only of the domestic market. This shows the tremendous love for these actors their fans have.
Salman Khan’s Ready and Dabangg are the two films which have grossed more than one billion rupees. 3 Idiots has proved to be the top grosser in the history of Bollywood. It is accompanied by Aamir Khan’s another film Ghajini. Ghajini also crossed the one billion mark in the film’s business.
When on one hand Salman Khan and Aamir Khan have a couple of films to boast of, Ajay Devgan has only one. However, that film has also made a lasting impression and proved to be a hit. We are talking about Golmaal 3. The entire Golmaal trilogy is a pleasure to watch for any comedy lover.
Singham which is doing well at the box office is threatening the second and third place films – Dabangg and Ready. The film is staring at setting records for the second and the third week gross earnings. If Singham keeps getting this sort of response for some more days, it will certain topple either Dabangg or Ready.
