I Have Stopped Doing Films Just For Friends: Salman Khan

After the disaster of “Hello”, in which he had a brief appearance, actor Salman Khan has made known his unhappiness about doing small roles in films and vowed not to take such offers anymore even if the proposals came from friends.

Salman feels doing brief roles disappoints his fans as many such movies do not have good scripts.

“There was a time when I used to sign films just for friendship but not anymore because my fans have suffered due to it. They go to cinema hall expecting to see me but they come disappointed,” said Salman, who is promoting his upcoming film “Yuvvraaj.”

Salman has been known for doing small cameo roles in many films at the request of friends. He had made an brief appearance in now estranged friend Shah Rukh Khan’s “Om Shanti Om.”


“In a three-hour-long film I come only in few scenes but the whole movie is promoted on my name. Naturally when my fans come to watch the film they feel disappointed. They pay for a film with their hard earned money. It is unfair on them,” he said.

Salman, who is playing the lead in Subhash Ghai’s multi-starrer “Yuvvraaj” releasing on November 21, said, “Now I sign a film only after I like the script and the person I am going to work with.”

Talking about his character in the film, the actor said, “I play a frustrated, angry and jealous man in the film. My character is basically angry with everyone because he has always been deprived of love.”

“I don’t think there is any scene anywhere in the world which would be difficult to enact for us Indian actors,” Salman said, adding, “We are on our toes all the time.”

He also praised Ghai’s efforts in making “Yuvvraaj” which has “lavish sets and a grand story.”

The actor, however, dodged a question on marriage in his trademark style.

“I do not know. It is up to Him. Marriages are made in heaven. I will get married when God orders me,” said Salman.

Taking an apparent dig at Himesh Reshmiya’s “Karzzz”, which is a remake of Ghai’s 1980 classic “Karz”, the actor said, “There is only one ‘Karz’ and that was made by Subhash Ghai.”

Asked whether the new version is a tribute to Ghai’s style of film making, Salman said, “Well they tried that but it did not work.”

Salman did not even spare his co-star Anil Kapoor.

Talking about Kapoor’s new found international success with “Slumdog Millionaire”, Khan said, “Anil is all set to leave us for Hollywood where he will do films similar to what Om Puri does.”

He praised the performance of Zayed Khan, who is playing the younger brother in this family drama.

“Zayed and I have traded few punches in the film. He is great in the film,” said Salman.

Hot-bod Salman Khan defeats six-pack Shah Rukh Khan

Salman Khan is at last smiling ear-to-ear as he has scored a point over bitter rival Shah Rukh. The actor known for a stunning physique has always been health conscious and has regularly worked out to remain fit and young.

His effort seems to be finally paying off as India has chosen him to be the role model of health and happiness.

According to a survey conducted by the Complete Wellbeing magazine, “India's choice for its role model of health is Salman Khan with 26% votes coming his way while Shahrukh Khan is the next choice at 24% votes.”

The survey, conducted by the global market research company for the magazine to select India's role models of health and happiness in entertainment, business, sports and politics fields. Men and women between 25–45 years of age across eight metros voted for their role models and the result was quite interesting.

Surprisingly, number three position went to Amitabh Bachchan instead of Hrithik Roshan or Akshay Kumar. While son Abhishek Bachchan was chosen Ahmedabad's idol for health, daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai Bachchan received maximum votes from her home state, Bengaluru.

Disappointingly, John Abraham's fantastic physique figured at no 10 for health with just 4% votes.

In the entertainment section, Shah Rukh turned out to be the winner, with Sallu lagging behind in the second position. Amitabh maintained his post at number three, while fourth place was claimed by Akshay Kumar securing 12% votes. Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan shared the ninth slot with 5% votes.

Now, we have all the reasons to warn Shah Rukh against indulging in fist-fight against Salman. Getting physical with the health king can be real dangerous, SRK!

Music is USP of 'Yuvvraaj', thinks Salman Khan

Bollywood actor Salman Khan promoted his forthcoming film ''Yuvvraaj'' at a singing-based reality show in Mumbai on Tuesday evening. The participants at the show sung songs from various Salman Khan films.

Bollywood's hunk Salman Khan said that the reality show was the right platform to promote his film because it was also a musical show.

“We are promoting our film ''Yuvrraj'' and according to the trend prevailing one has to promote his or her film wherever they go. As you know that the music of the film 'Yuvrraj is also very good and this is a musical show so I thought that this was the right thing to do. The music of the songs have been composed by A.R. Rahman and Subhash Ghai has directed the film so I thought it was a good thing to do,” said Salman.

The film is produced and directed by Subhash Ghai. It stars Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor, Katrina Kaif and Zayed Khan. ''Yuvvraaj'' will be the third film of Salman Khan with Katrina Kaif.

Yuvvraaj is a musical story of a fragmented family of three brothers who are fighting and playing games with each other to inherit their father''s wealth. A.R. Rahman has scored the music of the movie, while Gulzar has penned the lyrics. The film is slated for November 21, release.

Finally Salman Khan has a reason to smile!

Salman Khan has had a very bad 2008. His two big films God Tussi Great Ho and Yuvvraaj flopped miserably at the ticket window whereas; his special appearance starrers Heroes and Hello were just about moderate successes. But finally the handsome actor has got a reason to smile! His Rumi Jaffrey directed God Tussi Great Ho also starring Priyanka Chopra is a big hit in the home video circuit!
The film was a poor show at the box office all throughout India when it released on August 15th alongside Yash Raj’s Ranbir Kapoor starrer, Bachna Ae Haseeno. It is now learnt that the film has very good DVD/VCD sales across the country since it was released by T-Series last month. Salman’s girlfriend Katrina Kaif’s Singh Is Kinng however leads on the Home Video market and the film is huge, probably one of the biggest success ever but it was expected from Singh Is Kinng as it was a huge hit and broke may records.
The success of God Tussi Great Ho is a different case as it was rejected at the box office but the public is giving it a watch on Home Video.

Salman and Jackie turn foes

Before you get stunned by the aforementioned title and draw any conclusion about our style Bhai Salman Khan, let us open up that its about Salman Khan's much–in–news upcoming film Veer which we are talking about. As per the latest buzz from the B–town, seasoned actor Jackie Shroff aka Jaggu dada would be seen playing a negative character in the film.

This is not the first time when the two actors (Salman & Jackie) would be working together. Earlier also they have shared the screen space in movies like Bandhan and Kahin Pyaar Na Ho Jaaye. But the only difference this time around is that while in the earlier 2 flicks both the actors shared cordial relations (in Bandhan Salman played a devoted brother–in–law of Jackie Shroff and in Kahin Pyaar Na Ho Jaaye both were childhood friends) than in Veer Jackie would stand as a strong opposition / villain for Salman Khan.
