Salman Khan planning to buy two horses

His love for the animal grows after shooting for 'Veer'

Salman Khan grew so fond of a horse, Laxmi, during the shoot of his film "Veer" (pictured left) that he has planned to purchase two for his farmhouse.

"My love for horses has grown so much after shooting for 'Veer' that I have decided to buy two horses for my farmhouse," said Salman.

"One horse that stands out was Laxmi. She was my favourite and I was so attached to her that I must have fed her more biscuits than I have eaten in my entire life!" he added.

"Veer", slated to release Jan 22, is a story of bravery, treachery and love. The story revolves around the 18th century Pindaris who preferred death to dishonour and fought to their last breath to save their land. Salman plays a Pindari soldier in the film.

Salman Khan is a lion heart

Bollywood’s daredevil is all set to wrestle a lion in Veer. He is doing to save a damsel in distress. The lady in question is Lisa Lazarus.

Salman Khan is back in an action role after a very long time and he is leaving no stone unturned to make a memorable impact. He won’t fight the lion in a loin cloth but in all his warrior costume glory.

So is Salman worried about the upcoming sequence? “No, not at all! Salman is a Veer in true sense. Besides, the lion which will be utilised for the shoot will be trained,” said a source.

Director Vijay Galani explained the scene, “The scene is a rescue act. Liza Lazarus (Miss UK Universe 2008) is on a hunting spree in the jungle. Suddenly, a lion attacks her. Salman spots her in trouble and fights the lion to save her.”

The fight scene will be shot abroad next month. “We have not decided on the foreign location, but it will surely not be shot in India. We don't have very good facilities to shoot such scenes here.”

Salman has written the script and is very excited about the film. He often gives his creative inputs and this scene is no exception.

“The scene was always there in the original script but we had reserved the shooting for the end. We will need three days to film the scene with the lion. Salman is very excited about this. Ditto for Liza,” said the director.

It has been a while since such scenes have been shot. Dharmendra started the trend with Maa (1976) when he wrestled with a tiger. He also did a similar sequence in Kartavya (1979).

This is the first time one of the hottest Khans around will be wrestling a lion. Salman is the perfect choice, the lion could gobble up Aamir and SRK, don't you think so?

'I want to live like a normal guy'

Salman Khan, who recently landed in Mumbai after a shooting schedule in London, attended a rare public event to announce that he would indeed be back on Season 2 of his game show “10 Ka Dum”, which takes off on Saturday, May 30, on Sony TV.

We caught Salman in one of his coolest moods as he spoke about his return to the small screen and his four back-to-back films this year.

Here’s what he said…

You are back on ‘10 Ka Dum’. How was the experience of doing Season 1? Are there going to be any changes in the format in the new season?

It was a great experience last year and hence I am back on the show. About the format, I think what has worked so far should not be changed.

‘10 Ka Dum’ brought the real Salman Khan to the people. Can you tell us a bit more about the real you?

When we do a movie they think this guy is acting. But it is completely different when we do such a show. Everybody’s character has a lot of shades. Like what I am to you might not be the same as what I am to another person. The show brought out what I am in general.

We stars also have problems like everybody else. Somewhere it affects us too. So if we are not in the right mood and get rude with someone, we also call that person back and behave overtly nice as well to make him feel better.

What all did you learn while doing the show?

What I got to understand is that the way I think in general is how the masses think as well. So somewhere I have not been alienated from the common man.

I want to live my life like a normal guy. I want to travel in a rickshaw or go to Barista for a coffee like everybody else.

They expect me to be this star which I don’t want to be at all times. So when I don’t want to be the star you guys get a lot of material to write about me!

Coming to your fee for the show, we hear you have cut down on it. Is it true? How much have you charged?

Yes I have cut down on my price. But that is just by a small margin.

For now there are going to be 14 episodes of ‘10 Ka Dum’ only?

Yes, that is what they have decided as of now. I don’t know what the plans are after that.

On to films… What are your forthcoming releases?

The first movie to release probably would be ‘Wanted: Dead And Alive’, then I will have ‘Main aur Mrs Khanna’, then ‘London Dreams’. By Diwali we shall have ‘Veer’.

Four films in such a short span…wouldn’t that be too much for the audience?

What do you mean? I think it would be wonderful to release movies everyday! (Laughs)

How much of ‘Veer’ is complete?

We have finished the London schedule and Rajasthan schedule which was the most difficult. I thought it would be difficult to shoot action scenes for ‘Wanted’, but ‘Veer’ was way more difficult. Now we have some 35-40 days of shoot left.

You don’t seem to be doing films which have serious subjects.

There are so many problems in the world. So when I do a film I do it thinking that in those two hours I should make the person laugh and feel relieved and then go back to his regular life.

Even if you look at ‘Khamoshi’, it was a very serious film. The original script had no humour for my character. All the humour that you find in the film was put by me.

So Sanjay (Bhansali) used to take two takes of everything in both ways and after seeing how it went for some days he agreed that it works much better with humour. In fact, I keep asking him why he makes such sad films!

Any chances of ‘Bajirao Mastani’ happening?

I don’t think so. I don’t know what Sanjay (Bhansali) has to say about this though.

Salman Khan gets creative with his hair in Veer

Salman Khan has gone all out to look different in his home production, Veer with the help of his hairstylist friend Aalim Hakim. The actor sports three different looks in the period flick. Sources reveal that he has taken a special interest in making sure all the looks are distinct from each other.

Aalim, who has worked with the actor on Veer and London Dreams says, "Salman doesn't go with current trends. He likes to go against what's popular to create his own fashion statement. Salman's a style icon and in Veer he's worked hard on his look."

About Sallu's styling Aalim says, "His first look sports classic short hair which was popular in the 1900s. In his second look, he will be seen in long hair, Gladiator style. His third style has him in a Shanghai pony tail which I think is remarkable."

Adds Aalim, "Salman grew his hair for Veer. But wherever we wanted it longer, he has used extensions," informs Aalim.

Interestingly, Khan won't just be seen in three distinct hair styles, but also different hair colours. For his Gladiator look, his hair is in shades of light chocolate brown.

However, Salman's experiments with his hair will end soon. Aalim reveals, "Salman will have to go back to his short-haired look once he starts shooting for his TV show Dus Ka Dum."

Salman Khan’s Veer in trouble again

An FIR has been lodged against the Veer crew for cutting down trees in Bikaner without permission. To add to their woes, the trees belong to the Khejri species which is the state tree of Rajasthan and is worshiped by the Bishnoi tribe.

The Gajner Police station in Bikaner confirmed the FIR and said, "Yes, there is an FIR lodged under section 41 and 42 of the Rajasthan Forest Act under which transporting Khejri tree is an offence."

On the other hand Vijay Galani, producer of the film, denied any wrong doing. He said, "At the moment I am near Jodhpur and I am shooting for my film Veer. To my knowledge, neither have we cut down any tress illegally nor is there any FIR lodged anywhere in the state. People are saying all these things without any basis. Till now, we haven't received any communication from any police station about the FIR or any complain against the film crew."

Just a few days ago, Veer was mired in controversy when the Rajasthan High Court stayed the shooting in Amber Fort because of an accident which injured around 15 people. Later, the court allowed the shooting on the condition that the producer will pay a compensation of Rs20 lakhs to the state government for the damage to the historic structure and as compensation to the onlookers injured.

On the sets Veer at Amber Fort

Salman Khan’s self-scripted period drama, in which he is playing a warrior fighting against the British rule, has stopped shooting at Amber Fort, Jaipur, after an accident on its sets caused injuries to fans watching.

Here are snapshots of the stars in action on the sets before the Rajasthan High Court issued a stay order on the filming there.

Salman to compensate those injured due to the Amber Fort collapse

Salman Khan’s Veer is in trouble again. The Jaipur court has put a stay order on the shooting going on at Amber Fort because the fort wall collapsed due a stage built by the Veer crew on the 500-year-old canopy. Besides being a historical monument, the collapse injured at least 15 people who had come to watch the shoot.

Director Anil Sharma says, “It’s true that the Jaipur court ordered a stay on our shooting. A portion of the wall fell and injured those who were watching the shoot. The main reason for the stay order is to look into how the Amber Fort trust allowed us to shoot here without any security measures. It is very sad that so many people were injured. They were mainly women.”

Immediately after the accident, Salman Khan went to meet the injured fans. Sharma says, “Salman went right after it happened. Some of them are quite critical and we have decided to help them in any way we can. Salman was upset because of the accident.”

With the shooting scheduled for Amber Fort not complete as yet, how is Sharma going to work around this stay order? The director says, “We are going to file for an appeal on Monday to lift the stay order. A major portion to the film has to be shot there. We have to make our deadline to completing everything within 55 days. In the mean time, we are now at City Palace.”

Veer stars Liza Lazarus (Miss UK) opposite Salman Khan and will release by mid-2009.

Looking forward to 2009 in Bollywood

The New Year has dawned with a promise of more entertaining and thought-provoking cinema from Bollywood. Will new milestones be reached in 2009? Here’s a look.

If 2008 ended on a promising note, 2009 begins with a bang, with some big banner movies set to hog the marquee. The Bhatt camp’s Raaz - The Mystery Continues and the Sippys’ Chandni Chowk To China with Akshay Kumar at the helm would be the two scene stealers of January, which will also witness the release of Zoya Akhtar’s dark comedy on Bollywood, Luck By Chance , due for January 30 release along with Harman Baweja ’s second film Victory . Danny Boyle’s Slumdog Millionaire , a Golden Globe nominee and an Oscar hopeful, might get released in January after its successful run at overseas box office.

The month of February would see the release of movies like Priyadarshan’s Billu Barber and Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra ’s Dilli 6.

This year will see directors like Anurag Basu and Imtiaz Ali returning after a break of one year. While the Rakesh Roshan produced Kites can hit the theatres any time around mid year as the movie is still in the making and its major chunk is still to be shot, Imtiaz Ali will comeback with yet another love story, untitled yet, starring Deepika Padukone and Saif Ali Khan .

Rajkumar Hirani will not give any Munnabhai jhappi, but will return with a thought-provoking film that takes a dig at our education system in 3 Idiots which is based on bestseller novel ‘Five Point Someone’ and has Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor in the lead roles. Most likely, ‘3 Idiots’ would close 2009.

Lavishly budgeted movies in this period of recession may appear absurd but they would be one too many in 2009. London Dreams by Vipul Shah, Kambakkth Ishq by Sajid Nadiadwala , and the Salman Khan -written historical drama ‘Veer’ are some of the celluloid mammoths that would roar in 2009. ‘Kambakkth Ishq’ is particularly special as it has some Hollywood biggies in cameos for the first time in an Indian masala movie.

On the contrary, industry giants like Yashraj and Dharma Productions have few movies lined up this year. There is no news as to when Karan Johar’s much anticipated My Name Is Khan with Kajol and Shahrukh Khan is going to release. Possibly, by this year end. Yashraj will begin this year with New York directed by Kabir Khan and starring John Abraham , Neil Nitin Mukesh and Katrina Kaif . Katrina would also be seen in a love story Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani with Ranbir Kapoor .

Himesh Reshammiya will be back with a movie named A Love Issshtory , again paired opposite two beautiful ladies. You can also watch some off-beat parallel cinema like Dev. D , Aur Devdas , Tera Kya Hoga Johnny , Wake Up Sid , Delhi Belly , Lamha , Teen Patti , Johnny Mastana which has Amitabh Bachchan in the lead, Nagesh Kukunoor’s Eight By Ten or the Bipasha Basu starrer Pankh or Mallika Sherawat ’s nagin act in Hisss .

Some serious directors would dabble in comedy for the first time. Ashutosh Gowarikar is trying some rib-tickling humour in What's Your Raashi with Priyanka Chopra and Harman Baweja. And Vishal Bharadwaj will return with Kaminay which stars Shahid Kapur and Priyanka in the lead.

And not to forget, Sanjay Leela Bhansali is returning back to what he does best and directing a movie with Hrithik and Aishwarya Rai . Ash would also be seen in Mani Ratnam’s next with hubby Abhishek Bachchan .

From the look of it, 2009 holds out a promising spread.

Sallu finds a new home

Salman Khan has all of a sudden become a workaholic. He has been shooting straight hours and working more than...probably ever! Recently, the actor who was shooting for Wanted Dead Or Alive in Berlin was returning home and since he was running late, he had to directly rush to Film City for the shoot of his film Veer. And the actor did not even complain! It is also rumoured that Boney Kapoor had hired this special chartered flight for Salman so that he could get back home as soon as possible.

Despite jet lag, Salman rushed to the sets of Veer in his make-up van which was waiting for him outside the airport.

A source revealed, "Salman reached the sets of Veer directly. He greeted everyone and started shooting almost immediately. Finally he took a two hour break and rested in his van before continuing with the remaining shoot for the day. He shot till ten in the night."

The source further added, "Salman is very motivated about his dream venture Veer. The film is very close to his heart. He is making sure that there's no delay in the schedule because of him."

We also heard that to save time traveling from his Bandra residence to Film City, the actor has been hitting the gym at Whistling Woods close to the sets of Veer. Looks like the make up van has finally become his second home!

I haven't met Salman yet: Lisa Lazarus

Miss Universe UK 2008 Lisa Lazarus is all set to make a Bollywood debut in Salman Khan's Veer. She tells us about herself and her Bollywood ambitions.

Tell us about yourself.

I am easy to be with and have managed to keep myself grounded in spite of all the glamour and fame. I have been modeling since I was a child because I was very tall even then. Then I won my first beauty pageant when I was 16 and continued to take part in and win several pageants. I have also done several ad campaigns and ramp shows. I am currently the ambassador for the World Peace Mission.

How did you become a part of Veer?

When I won the Miss Universe UK pageant in May, I got a lot of publicity worldwide. So the producers had seen my footage and they liked my pictures. I fit the bill of the British girl they were looking for perfectly and I didn't even have to audition for it so I grabbed the opportunity with both hands

Did you read the script? What is your role in the film?

I have read the script and I think it is an absolutely amazing story line about love and its complications and a lot of other things. The movie is set in the 1890s. It is very grand and everything is exaggerated: the sets, the costumes, the hair and the acting. I play Angela, a young British girl who comes to India with her father and gets lost in the jungle. So Salman finds me and becomes my hero. I fall in love with him even and we get a bit close. I have to try hard to get his affection because he is already in love with someone else.

What do you think about Salman Khan?

Actually I haven't met him yet. We have been communicating through other people. I have never heard anyone saying anything bad about him so he seems to be an amazing guy. I will meet him today as he has returned from Greece and we will start shooting for Veer.

How are you preparing for the role? Is it tough?

I am learning Hindi and am rehearsing my dance routines non-stop so that I am absolutely prepared when we start shooting. I find the pronunciations tough but I am getting there. Namaste is all I can say. The hard work for this film will be worth it.

Have you seen any Hindi films?

Yes I have but I don't remember the names. Bollywood stars and movies are very popular in the UK; I think I know more about Bollywood than Hollywood. I like Salman's recent movie with Katrina and the other one where he is roaming around on the beach in his Speedo.

What do you think about Katrina? Have you met her?

I think she is an absolutely beautiful woman and one of my idols at the moment. I have seen her on Vogue and I would to follow in her footsteps.

How do you like India?

I have been here for four days and I absolutely love it. I feel relaxed and at home. There has been no culture shock for me. Everyone is so kind and always willing to help. I feel settled here and very safe. I don't like hot food, so the hotel guys made this mild chicken curry for me and I loved it.

What would you have been, if not a model or actress?

It is every child's dream to be a model or an actress and I am living my dream. For back up, I have a degree in Radiography which is the study of X-rays so I can work in a hospital if I want to.

Do you have any dream roles?

I loved Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, she is my favourite actress. I would love to do a Bond film because they are so popular the world over but then without the songs and dancing, they are not as fun as Hindi films.

Do you have any previous acting experience?

I have done theatre and presented a few TV shows. I am very comfortable in front of the camera.

What are your hobbies?

I like to play golf, though I get bored easily and don't play much. I like listening to pop music and Britney and the Pussycat Dolls are my favourite singers. I love the Hindi songs they play at clubs back in the UK, you can dance anyhow and it looks good because the songs are great.

Is Bollywood a one-off thing or are you here to stay?

Veer is an amazing start and new experience for me. I love meeting people from different, countries, cultures and religions. I love India and don't want to leave so I hope more opportunities come up and I establish myself here.

Salman's 'new girl' arrives in Mumbai

It has been widely reported over the internet and in the tabloids that Salman Khan has found a new girl from London who resembles Katrina Kaif, to act in his movie “Veer”.

Salman has got the reputation of finding look-alikes of his lady love.

However, while Zarine Khan, who’s also acting in “Veer”, comes close to looking like Katrina, Miss UK Lisa Lazarus has got absolutely no resemblance to Kat.

We got a chance to see the beauty queen in person at the Mumbai airport today (December 3) as she arrived amidst major chaos created by media and security guards.

I am a little unprofessional

Confession time for Salman Khan as he returns as a Yuvraaj with Subhash Ghai and Katrina Kaif…

Many headlines later, Salman Khan and girlfriend Katrina Kaif are now back together…in a film. After doing "Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya" and "Partner" together, the two lovebirds parted ways professionally for a while and pursued films with other stars. Even as Salman romanced an assortment of actresses, Kat gave hit after hit with Akshay Kumar and others. With "Yuvraaj", they're returning as a couple on-screen.

Understandably, both Katrina and Salman are pretty excited with the project. "This is the third time I have worked with Katrina. We earlier did "Partner" and "Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya", both of which were comedies but we weren't paired with each other. She was opposite Govinda and Sohail Khan. But in "Yuvraaj", she's been paired with me," says Salman.

The two had good fun working on the project, not only because of the rapport they share with each other but also with director Subhash Ghai and co-star Anil Kapoor. The promos look good, the posters are attention-grabbing and "Yuvraaj"'s music too is scintillating. In fact, lately, most of the films Salman has done have had hit music, whether they themselves were hits or not. What's Salman's newfound connection with music all about? "I don't know. I can't sing, nor can I dance too well. Guess I'm just lucky my films have good music," says the original muscleman of Bollywood.

His choice of music in his own time is retro, jazz, 60s ,70s and 80s rock and roll music and even soft rock. No time for Bollywood music, we guess.

More than working with Katrina, it's coming together again with Subhash Ghai that's made "Yuvraaj" special for Salman. Some years ago, the two had a spat that ended with the actor landing a slap on the producer-director's face. A lot of acrimony followed but the two have since kissed and made up. "I was a little nervous because this is the first time I am working with Subhash. I am a good worker but I am a little unprofessional," is Salman's surprise confession.

Now that they've called a truce, he's willing to do whatever Subhash tells him to. Including promoting reality shows. "Wherever Subhash tells me to go, I will." Though he will, Salman is not in favour of overdoing the promotion bit. "Audiences can tell in the first promo only whether the film is good or bad. I don't understand promoting a film so much. I feel it's overexposing the film," he says.

After "Yuvraaj", Salman has Veer coming up. The actor, who is also a painter, has turned a writer with this. Following in the footsteps of his scriptwriter daddy Salim, he's penned the story for "Veer". "Writing is in my genes. "Veer" revolves around a father and a son. It's about a son who is ready to give up his life to keep his father's words. But that's not too relevant in today's times so the story had to be set in the 18th century," he elaborates.

Parallels are being drawn between "Gladiator" and "Veer", but Salman denies it has anything to do with the Hollywood film. "It's an original script."

What is not always original is the role Salman plays regularly. Okay, so he's seen as a Bollywood brat. But why does he take up bratty roles on-screen too? "Because I can do only a few roles. I can do action, I can do romance, I can do comedy, I can do drama, I can do intense roles, I can play a guy who gets beaten up, I can beat people up. So, I am very limited with these concerns," is his simple reply.

One role that's suited him best is that of a He-Man. Lately, however, a number of actors, including Shah Rukh Khan and even chocolate boy Aamir Khan, are building up six-packs. Aamir is the latest entrant to the beefed-up bod club. What does the original six-pack king feel about that? "I liked Aamir's body. I liked his posters. He has worked out a lot and that's showing."

No jealousy here. But that's Salman for you. A simple man caught in a bad image.

Salman Khan's beefed up, bronzed look in Veer

Few years ago, Shah Rukh Khan played the role of Veer in Yash Chopra's love story Veer-Zaara. Now Salman Khan is all set to star in an action film titled Veer.

The story of this film (directed by Anil Sharma) has been written by Salman himself and while we did show you some pics of the actor in his new look for Veer earlier, this picture gives you a clearer idea of what to expect from this flick.

Salman, who is always known for experimenting with his looks, is seen in a beefed up, bronzed look with unusually long hair. The actor is seen wearing a fur jacket and an ethnic neckpiece and kada (bangle) Also from the looks of it, Salman seems to be playing a warrior of another era given the fact that he is seen holding a sword in one hand and a shield in the other.

In the recent past, Abhishek Bachchan tried the 'superhero meets warrior' look in Drona but unfortunately the film sank without a trace. Will Sallu bhai be able to pull of this warrior act in Veer, one will have to wait and watch.

Salman plays an 18th century warrior from Central India in Veer

Salman Khan's period film Veer is set in the 18th century and covers the period from 1820 to 1930. A source related to the film reveals the story of Veer revolves around a sect of people called the Pindaris.

The Pindaris were a horde of cruel marauders, who from their headquarters in Central India ravaged and plundered the neighbouring regions as well as some distant areas.

During the eighteenth century, they adopted plundering and robbery as their profession. The Marathas armies employed the Pindaris in their battles as auxiliary forces.

It is learnt that the film will be extensively shot in various locales in London and Rajasthan. Salman and director Anil Sharma are looking out for able-bodied men who will play the Pindari warriors along with Salman.

The source says, "Salman plays the title role of Veer in the film. He's a Robin Hood of sorts, who robs the British officers and helps the poor. Salman has watched Mel Gibson's The Patriot and was quite impressed with the gun battle scenes. He wants to do the same with Veer."

Check out Salman Khan's ethnic look in Veer

Salman Khan is known to experiment with his looks and hairstyle for his films. Who can forget the hysteria which his hairstyle in Tere Naam created? It almost became like a fashion statement among young boys across the length and breadth of the country.

Now Salman seems to have yet again experimented with his looks (and his locks) for his forthcoming film Veer. These pictures sent to us by one of our users shows the brawny actor in a completely different get-up. Also seen in another pic is actor Mithun Chakraborty sporting a totally ethnic look with turban, bracelets et al. For the uninitiated, Veer is a period action film directed by Anil Sharma. The film is special to Salman for more reasons than one, as he himself has written the story of this flick.


Coming back to apna Sallu bhai's look, the actor is seen sporting a red tikka and a huge piece of ancient Indian styled jewellery round his neck. However, what is most striking is the hair-do that he is sporting. Will this one also create a fashion trend of sorts? Your guess is as good as ours.

A special song in 'Veer'

Salman Khan wants to ensure that his next home production, Veer, makes all the right noises. The actor who has already started shooting for the film wants a lavish song in this period film.

It is believed that the song will appear during the end credits. Sallu wants the biggies of the industry to feature in it; like they did in Shah Rukh Khan's home production, Om Shanti Om. Sallu had also featured in the song.

Even though details are sketchy, sources reveal the mood will be celebratory. Insiders reveal that Salman and director Anil Sharma have a difference of opinion about including this song.

While Salman wants it, Sharma feels there is no place for it in a period film like Veer. A source reveals, "Salman has the last word as far as Veer is concerned. He doesn't like to take opinions, he just instructs his team to include his viewpoints at any cost. This has become a matter of debate between him and the director."

Presently Bhaijaan (as industrywallas call Salman) doesn't want the news of this special song getting out as he hasn't got any confirmation from the actors.

Buzz is that these names appear on his wishlist: Sanjay Dutt, Saif Ali Khan, Akshay Kumar and even newcomer Imran Khan. There are lot of other names as well. All except Shah Rukh Khan.

"Salman wants to show his power and status in the industry by including such a song in Veer."

Buzz is that the song will have all the actors dressed up in period costumes and praise Salman's character in the film. However Anil Sharma says, "This is a baseless rumour, there's no such song being planned."

Sallu cancels shoot at the 11th hour

On Wednesday the shooting of Salman Khan starrer Veer was cancelled at the 11th hour. Reason? The actor complained about a severe stomach ache and was throwing up. “That’s very unlike Salman,” says our man. “He was all set to begin his workout when he complained of stomach ache. He was immediately rushed to a doctor who confirmed that it was food poisoning.”

However, the star was in no mood to call off the shooting of Veer . The shooting of the film has been on for some time now and Salman didn’t want the schedule to go awry
because of him. “But his health just didn’t allow him enough strength. His brother Sohail took a call and decided to cancel the shooting”, disclosed our informer.

Salman was also scheduled to attend co-star cum friend Deepshikha’s birthday party. “He sent me a message saying that he was unwell and hence can’t make it for the party. He even said that the shooting of Veer was called off because of that,” confirms Deepshikha.

Here’s wishing the man a speedy recovery.

Salman adds 4 inches to his chest

Yes, Salman’s first period drama Veer is all set to go on the floors on August 6th. And all the confusion over its director has come to an end. After the casting couch controversy it was reported that Sohail might don the director’s hat but now it’s clear that its original director, Anil Sharma will direct it.

Interestingly, Salman is looking plump in all his recent pictures but very few know that his new look with blond hair is for Veer. He has put on weight to fit into the role of a warrior. It is believed that Salman was aware of his look as he himself was involved in designing his character’s look.

A source close to the actor informs that Salman is working out more than before and is also on a special diet. No wonder then that Salman now sports a broader chest. He managed to increase his chest by four inches in just four weeks.

Salman loves to experiment with his look. He sported long hair in Tere Naam and then went bald in the latter half of the film. He will be sporting a smart look in Subhash Ghai’s Yuvraj .

With his tough body, attitude to kill and the confident look in his eyes, we are sure that the character of a warrior will come easy to Salman.

Salman in search of someone new

After the grandeur success of romantic comedy PARTNER Salman Khan seemed to have hiked his demand. It is heard that he is charging pretty good amount for his work. Recently it was heard that Salman hiked his bill for the upcoming movie VEER.

According to sources he is charging high for VEER not just for his popularity but the very special reason being the story of the film is penned by him. With this he graduates from an actor to writer. Who knows he might step his foot in direction also someday? But as of now he has roped in APNE fame Anil Sharma to direct the film. Both the actor and director had a long time wish to work with each other. And VEER seems to accomplish their wish.

It is also heard that Sallu is taking keen interest at every step on the way. He has been speaking with everyone from set design to clothes to action. He has begun his own practice and work out regime to get even fitter for the role. Many British actors have been finalized.
