Ranbir Kapoor, who has stolen million hearts with his performance in films like Rockstar, Barfi! And Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani seems to face some criticism now by Salman Khan and SRK’s fans.

His upcoming film Besharam’s promo seems to have disappointed many. In one scene he says that ‘Sirf Chulbul naam rakhne se koi Dabangg nahi ban jaata’ which has offended Salman’s fans. While, he is seen singing SRK’s song Tujhe Dekha Toh Yeh Jana Saman while urinating which has disappointed SRK’s fan club.

According to sources, fans have decided to ban his films and have been expressing their disliking on social networking sites.
After giving back to back hits, will Ranbir’s act affect the box office collection of his film?

Salman Khan’s love life has always created as many headlines as his films. And if rumours are to be believed the star has ended his alleged romance with his Romanian girlfriend Iulia Vantur. And interestingly, it’s being said that it was at his parents’ insistence that Salman decided to call it quits.

Ever since his break-up with his alleged girlfriend Katrina Kaif, Salman had moved on with Iulia, an actress and TV presenter. The star was believed to be quite smitten with her as he allegedly even gave her a place to stay in Mumbai. But constant buzz about her being previously married started causing ripples in the Khan family.

A source says, “Iulia apparently is married to a Grammy nominated musician Marius Moga. When she was confronted about it, she kept denying the allegations. That was when Salman’s family decided to step in and take charge of the situation.”

And as more and more information about Iulia’s past was unearthed, the Khan family apparently decided it was best if the couple parted ways. Those close to the star say that even though he had already received his visa for London, Salman stayed back in the city to sort the matter out with his family.

“He was spotted spending Eid alone with close friend Baba Siddiqui for company at a restaurant and then at a club,” adds the source.’ And Iulia who had earlier accompanied Salman to Hyderabad during the shoot of Sohail Khan’s upcoming film is believed to have packed her bags and gone back to Romania.

Sajid Nadiadwala’s KICK has already become the talk of the town for multiple reasons. The movie marks Sajid Nadiadwala’s debut as a director and also brings back the super hit jodi of Sajid Nadiadwala and Salman Khan. The action movie has already locked its release date for next year’s Eid on 27th July and has become the most anticipated movie of 2014.

Eid has proven very lucky for Salman Khan, as the actor has delivered four back-to-back blockbusters on this auspicious day. 2013 has been the only year since 2009, that Eid has not seen a Salman release. The shooting for the film has begun in Glasgow.

Excited about directing his longtime friend, Sajid Nadiadwala says, ”I am ecstatic to be directing Salman Khan, with whom I have shared a very good rapport over the years. Releasing the movie on Eid would be like cherry on the icing, as Salman has already proved his mettle with Eid releases and we hope to recreate the magic with KICK.”

Bollywood celebs are known to lend their support for various causes. Now, the biggies of B-Town along with Television personalities will come together on Independence Day to raise funds for the victims of Uttarakhand, by running a seven hour marathon.

To be telecast by a leading entertainment channel, celebrities like Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Lata Mangeshkar, Ajay Devgn, Kajol, Anil Kapoor, AR Rahman, Boman Irani, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, Pritam, Prasoon Joshi, Mukesh Bhatt and Ayushmann Khurana will join forces with TV stars from popular shows to raise awareness and give some relief to the flood victims.

The event which has been dubbed as 'Saath Hain Hum Uttarakhand' will be held at NSCI Grounds, Worli. While many celebrities have already shot their promos for this event, Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan fans will be in a tizzy as their favourite stars will be present at the same venue on the same day.

Salman, who is taking this initiative on behalf of his Being Human foundation, is known to be a philanthropist who does his bit without any publicity.

But with Ash present there, will Salman be gracious and extend a hand of friendship the way he did with Shahrukh Khan at Baba Siddiqui's Iftar party?

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is a happy man. His ‘Chennai Express’ has collected a decent average of Rs. 33.12 crore on the first day its opening. This means that SRK-Deepika starrer ‘Chennai Express’ has moved ahead of Salman Khan’s ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ that earned Rs. 31.25 crore on day.

Figures collected from trade analyst Taran Adarsh and social media sites reveal that Rohit Shetty’s directorial venture did wonders in box-office by making a record collection of Rs. 6.75 crore from paid previews across India. What is interesting to note is that this romantic-comedy flick has also beaten paid-preview collections of 3 Idiots at Rs. 2.7 crore.

Chennai Express has opened in approximately 3500 screens across the country on August 9. It benefited from the Eid holiday as people went to watch the movie in large number.

SRK is all smiles with this great response and thanked all his fans and well wishers in a press conference that he held at the compound of his Bandra bungalow Mannat.

The makers of ‘Kick’ have become the unwitting victims of Salman Khan’s legal troubles. The film’s team is currently in the UK waiting for their leading actor whose visa was rejected by the British embassy last week. Salman re-applied and got the visa four days ago but he is still in India.

The schedule was supposed to kickstart on July 27 but has been irrevocably delayed. The situation looks set to get worse with the next hearing in the hit-and-run case against the actor looming on August 19.

Sajid Nadiadwala, producer-director of the film flew to the UK in the last week of July and has been waiting there for Sallu with the rest of the cast and crew. And the stay is eating into the film’s budget. When contacted, Salim Khan, said that Salman will leave for the UK on Sunday or Monday. “But if he doesn’t get a court exemption he may have to come back for the hearing slated for August 19,” he added.

In that case, Sajid will have to cool his heels in the UK until Sallu returns. “Films do have their share of ups and downs. This is one such,” Salim replied when asked about the film’s fate.

While a source from the industry says that Nadiadwala has shot a few scenes with Jacqueline Fernandez and Randeep Hooda in Salman’s absence, the film’s schedule has suffered a big setback. “Salman is in most of the scenes. Without him, it is not easy to make much headway in the film,” the source told Mirror.

Commemorating the centenary year of Indian Cinema in Chicago, the grand show was supposed to bring together Katrina Kaif and Salman Khan on stage after a long time. The show was scheduled to be held in Hoffman Estates in Chicago end August.

However, fresh reports suggest that the show has been called off due to the unavailability of Salman Khan. The actor was going to work on his upcoming film Kick before Chicago. But since there was a delay in his U.K VISA, the shooting schedule of Sajid Nadiadwala’s Kick got delayed!

Salman will now single mindedly focus on Kick and hence it will be tough for him to take out time for a stage concert in middle of shooting. Katrina too, is busy with her projects especially Dhoom 3 which is on in full force and is scheduled to wrap up soon enough to be ready to release in December.

Besides the two big stars backing out, the other stars who were to accompany them have given away their dates as well and hence the Chicago show stands cancelled for now. This would have been Salman’s first performance in the city after a gap of 7 years.

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, who was to leave for London to shoot for Sajid Nadiadwala’s next film, has been unable to cross the Indian shores. According to reports, Salman’s visa has been allegedly rejected and no explanation has been given for the same. The shooting of the film is already underway and Salman was to join the unit last week. However, his visa got cancelled and he has unable to fly to London.

While no one really knows what went wrong, insiders reveal that proceedings against Salman in hit and run case could be the main reason for it. Nowadays, securing a UK visa has become very difficult as the rules have become very stringent. Any court case against you, irrespective of your power or position, could go against securing a UK visa.

Though the court has framed the charges against the superstar, the case has been adjourned till August 19.

The star may apply for the visa again next week. However, with the charges against the actor, will he be able to get the visa? That is worth discussing.

The Shahrukh – Salman cold war is not something new in Bollywood. For years, these two actors have been warring against each other, be it through their films or their fan clubs. Latest we hear that Shahrukh has made a master move of sorts and befriended someone who is not so much of a friend of Salman Khan’s.

We are talking about Shahrukh Khan signing up a film with director Abhinav Kashyap, who has had a bitter relationship with Salman Khan. Well, call it a move to befriend the enemy’s enemy or just plain coincidence, but this hasn’t gone too well at the Khan Camp.

Abhinav Kashyap is the same director who after directing Salman Khan’s ‘Dabanng’, refused to direct the sequel. Since then, he has been off the Salman radar and now his association with SRK is not doing any good.

“Abhinav and SRK have been friends for years and that is why they often meet up. But right now there is nothing concrete. They have always wanted to work together but currently that’s about it. There is no script and no discussion” said a source, clearing the rumour that SRK had actually strategized this move.
We hear that after the completion of Shahrukh’s ‘Happy New Year’ with Farah Khan and Abhinav Kashyap’s project with Ranbir, the duo will start shooting for their film together.

Now, how is Salman going to react for this? We need to wait and watch. The only thing we can tell is that Salman seems to be having a tough time these days with everyone from heroines to directors getting the best of him!

Superstar Salman Khan might be a bad boy in his real life, taking his alleged affairs and innumerable girlfriends in consideration. But, the actor knows his limit onscreen. Unlike other actors, Salman Khan is not very keen on doing kissing scenes or intimate scenes in films. And now again, Sallu miyaan would follow the same in his upcoming movie Kick, opposite Jacqueline Fernandez.

According to a leading daily, the film Kick had a scene, in which Jacqueline Fernandez was required to seduce Salman, that would have led to an intimate scene. Reportedly, when this scene was narrated to Sallu, the actor immediately refused to do it, giving the reason that it would look cheap and vulgar onscreen.

It is further said that the makers of the film have decided to delete the scene completely, keeping Salman's comfort level in mind. On other hand, we remember, when Sallu's arch rival Shahrukh Khan had done quite a few liplocks and steamy scenes in the film Jab Tak Hai Jaan, alongside the former's girlfriend Katrina Kaif.

Even before Suraj Pancholi has been convicted in Jiah Khan’s suicide case, he is already a villain and in such testing times when the tide is turned against him, Salman Khan, Sunil Shetty have come out in the open to support media’s favorite villain of the moment. Salman Khan too is showing his silent support to Suraj Pancholi.

When asked if he would reconsider Athiya’s Bollywood debut with Sooraj, Suniel Shetty told DNA, “I never said that! I don’t, for a moment, regret the decision to launch my daughter with Sooraj. Why should I? He is as much my child as Aathiya. This (the crisis post Jiah Khan’s suicide) can happen to anyone. God forbid any parent should go through what Aditya and Zarina are going through right now. And I can’t even begin to imagine Jiah’s mother’s grief. Even if my daughter gets a scratch I am inconsolable. To lose one’s child is beyond any comprehension,” he added.
Here is how Salman Khan and Sunil Shetty are supporting Suraj Pancholi in their own ways.

Salman Khan has not even made efforts to call off the project after Suraj’s alleged involvement in Jiah Khan’s suicide case.

Salman Khan was to launch Suraj Pancholi in Bollywood with Suneil Shetty’s daughter Athiya in his production venture Hero.


Salman Khan had first noticed Sooraj Pancholi while he was working as an Assistant Director in ‘Ek Tha Tiger’.

Despite the media highlighting Salman Khan’s connection with Suraj, Salman has chosen to remain silent on the whole issue there by showing his silent support for Suraj Pancholi.

On the other hand Suniel Shetty reasons, “They had a relationship. Whatever happened between them is known only to them. No second person can take responsibility for an individual’s death. I’ve met Suraj. He’s sweet, soft spoken boy. I don’t see him harming anyone, least of all someone he loved.”

Suniel also confirms that the project is not even being called off after Suraj’s alleged involvement in Jiah Khan’s suicide case, “We start shooting for ‘Hero’ with my daughter and Suraj in September-October. One thing is for sure. All this controversy makes no difference to the project. Salman knows what he is doing. And I’ve full faith in Salman, the project and in Suraj.”

Often known as Bollywood's "bad boy," his knack of walking into trouble has overshadowed people's perception of him as an actor. He has been featured as the bad guy of the industry several times over. But many-a-common-man claims that this macho hunk has a heart made of pure gold.

Born on December 27, 1965 Salman Khan is the son of the legendary writer Salim Khan, who penned many super-hits in the yesteryear's like Sholay (1975), Deewaar (1975), and Don (1978). Salman started his acting carrier in 1988 by doing a supporting role in the movie Biwi Ho To Aisi (1988). The following year he had the leading role in the box office romantic hit Maine Pyar Kiya (1989). From there he became a heart throb of Indian cinema.

Following with other box office hits he showed his terrific performance in Saajan (1991), Andaz Apna Apna (1994), Hum Aapke Hain Koun...! (1994), Karan Arjun (1995), Khamoshi: The Musical (1996), Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998). His transformations can be sensitive, vulnerable, funny, aggressive and charming as his role demands.

In 1998 he was arrested by the local police from the shooting location of the film Hum Saath-Saath Hain: We Stand United (1999), for killing protected wild animals and spent about a week behind the bars. The actor is facing trial in three cases of killing black bucks and Chinkaras and another of illegal possession of arms. In September 2002, Salman Khan had hit the headlines after he crashed his Land Cruiser near the American Express bakery in Bandra, killing one man and injuring others.

Being known for those roguish behaviors, he tried to balance his troubled life with his career. In 2003, he gave his emotionally charged performance as playing an obsessed lover in Tere Naam (2003) that translated into good reviews and a good run at the box office. He not only managed to revive his career, but also to restore the confidence of his producers and distributors alike.

His work was noticed internationally in the movie Phir Milenge (2004) where he played the role of an AIDS patient. It was well appreciated by the World Health Organization (WHO) for presenting the problems of AIDS patient in today's world.

In 2007, he launched Being Human - Salman Khan Foundation. This charitable organization aids the underprivileged in areas such as education and health-care.

More recently, he starred in the multiple record breaking box office super-hit Dabangg (2010), Ready (2011) and Bodyguard (2011).

Personal Quotes
The only person I have hurt is myself.
