Salman doesn’t like Katrina wear small skirt

You may wonder what has gone wrong with Salman Khan when he said that he doesn’t watch his girlfriend Katrina Kaif’s films. In fact, his feedback would be invaluable but he has his own reason for shying away from her films. The reason is – he doesn’t like to see her wearing sexy and small skirt. Salman admitted that he doesn’t watch Katrina’s film. But why? He said that he once watched her film and she was wearing a small skirt, which he didn’t quite like.

Meanwhile, he is aware that he has to let it go sometimes. He is left with no option but to keep away from such films. He added that he could make out the genre of her film from the promos and stay away if necessary.The reports that Salman was guiding Katrina was right as he admitted that he did help her initially. However, he said that he doesn’t interfere in her work anymore, as she’s grown up and has good scene of choice.

Salman said that Katrina used to ask him to check out a couple of her scenes due her problem with dubbing but he has stopped it now, as he doesn’t want to be labelled as an aggressive boyfriend who barges into his girlfriend’s sets.

Salman to take on SRK in the field

After taking on Shahrukh Khan on the screen and off it Bollywood hunk Salman Khan is also set to take his arch rival on the cricket field. Salman has shown interest in owning a team in the Indian Premier League (IPL). The actor apparently met Lalit Modi the chairman and commissioner of the IPL to discuss the possibility of buying one of the two new teams which will be added to the tournament from the 2011 season.

Salman has been toying with the idea of owing a team ever since he saw fellow celebrities Preity Zinta, Juhi Chawla and Shilpa Shetty apart from SRK being associated with India’s cricketing extravaganza. Although the names of the cities haven’t been finalised by the IPL body, cities like Ahmedabad, Nagpur and Vishakhaptanam are being discussed. Apart from Salman Khan, Ajay Devgan and Sanjay Dutt are also reportedly interested in owning IPL teams.

But is not going to be easy for Salman to own a team as some of India’s leading corporates will take part in the auction will take place in January 2010. Markets analysts believe each of the two teams could sell for as much as Rs. 1000 Crores. It remains to be seen if Salman alone goes for a team or ties up with other Bollywood celebrities to own a team. The Bollywood war though will be fought on a different battle ground.

Bipasha Basu’s cheque didn’t come on time

Shahrukh Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, Katrina Kaif, Gulshan and Grover performed at the South Asian Carnival on August 15. Bipasha was to be part of the package but she stayed back in London as her cheque didn’t arrive. This was a part of a two-day, extravagant fun fair in Chicago to celebrate India’s Independence Day for people to see their favorite stars and get their autographs and pictures too. Bipasha, who reached Mumbai a couple of days back and is currently shooting in Kadaikudi for Priyadarshan’s film opposite Ajay Devgan, says, “Yes, I didn’t go for the Independence Day Carnival in Chicago. The money didn’t come on time so instead of going to US, I stayed back in London to spend time with John (Abraham) and shooting for Harpers Bazaar.” The actress is very clear about the stance she had to take vis-a-vis her trip to Chicago.

Katrina, Saif, Kareena were holidaying there but I had to take a nine-hour flight to Chicago. I didn’t want to fly without any confirmation. They were willing to pay me part of my entire remuneration. The organisers (Cineyug’s Morani brothers) told me to take a chance and fly down from London (where Bipasha was) to Chicago. They said they would try to see what they could do depending on the crowd turnout but I flatly refused.I couldn’t afford to take a chance and fly all the way down without getting my full amount.” So she stayed back in London “chilling with John and shopping for bath and kitchen accessories at Heels, John Lewis and Selfridges for my new home in Khar.” Morani says, “Frankly, the overseas business is handled by Karim and Aly and I really don’t have knowledge of this.” Despite repeated text messages and calls Karim and Aly remained unavailable for comment.

For Priyadarshan’s film which is based on honour killings, Bipasha dons “a simple, deglam, realistic and very traditional Bengali look though I play a Bihari girl. “I am clad in simple cotton sarees, with bindi, hair in a bun. I play a housewife and am growing my hair for the role. It’s quite a defined one and I am very excited to be playing it,” says the Bengali actress, who has Rituparno Ghosh’s Shab Charitro Kalponik, Sanjay Gupta’s Pankh and Ajay Devgan’s All The Best coming up as her next releases.

Salman-Shahid patch up!

They say it’s never too late and our two actors might have just realised that. After a bitter fallout during the Rockstars concert in 2006, Salman Khan and Shahid Kapoor had been avoiding each other like the plague. It so happened that Salman was not getting his steps right and Shahid offered to help him out. Apparently Salman didn’t like this young actor’s interference and asked him to leave him alone.

Salman even opted out of Satish Kaushik’s long awaited film, Shahid-starrer Milenge Milenge, wherein he was supposed to do a cameo. But guess what we hear now? Shahid has agreed to be part of Salman Khan’s popular show 10 Ka Dum where he will be promoting his forthcoming film Dil Bole Hadippa with co-star Rani Mukerji.

Seems like Shahid is indeed basking in the glory of his successful career and has forgotten the episode whole heartedly. Salman too has been gracious enough to invite them on his show.

Is London Dreams a copy?

Milos Forman directed Amadeus revolves Austrian musicians Salieri and Mozart. Salieri is immensely jealous of Mozart’s talent. He thinks his own music is pure and Mozart’s compositions are outlandish. He tries to thwart Mozart’s musical attempts and even gets his hands on Mozart’s original work through his wife and passes it off as his own. In the end, his envy gets the better of him and he murders Mozart. London Dreams, shot extensively in London, Paris and Punjab is the story of two childhood friends, played by Ajay and Salman who want to be rock stars. So they grow up and fulfill their dreams and both of them fall in love with Asin, the dancer of their band which is called London Dreams.

It is about the rivalry between them and also about who finally gets the girl. If London Dreams is a contemporary adaptation of Amadeus then, Ajay Devgan will play Salieri whose music is pure, Salman will play the outlandish Mozart and Asin will play Salman’s love interest. Shaka Laka Boom Boom starring Bobby Deol, Upen Patel, Celina Jaitley and Kangna Ranaut, was an awfully made take on Amadeus. When contacted, Vipul Shah said, “London Dreams is not similar to any film. It is an original piece of work. Why does everybody have to doubt an Indian filmmaker?

Just because it is about two guys who are in the world of music, so it becomes like some other film?” Let’s just wait for his dreams to unfold. London Dreams releases on October 30, 2009.
