Interpreting the dhaasu tweets of Salman Khan

A long time ago, when there was no twitter, you got your news about celebs from newspapers, magazines or TV channels. But then the brave, the tech savvy, the curious celebs got on twitter. They reached out to their fans. Their fans loved it. They lapped it all up. Word got out - the friends of celebs slowly got their feet wet. A trickle of Bollywood celebs started showing up on twitter.

As is the case in the movie industry, you are either with the latest trend or you are a dehati. And so it was that the trickle turned into a torrential downpour as hasti after hasti got on twitter and started tweeting.

Karan Johar was the first big celeb to take twitter seriously. Priyanka Chopra brought her sparkling personality to the micro-blogging platform and became an instant fan favorite. The arrival of Shahrukh Khan was met with much exuberence from fans and fellow celebs alike.

But then the big guy himself decided to crash the party. Under the twitter id of BeingSalmanKhan, Bollywood's big star listed himself as 'film actor, artist, painter, humanitarian' and opened his khaata with this tweet: "Arbaaz ne kaha ke tweet kar toh banta hai boss".

Mixing pictures taken from his cell phone with wisecracks, Hinglish and a unique yaar-dildaar sense of humor, Salman Khan is now my favorite celebrity on twitter. My love for his lunkhead charm can now be indulged on a daily basis.

Yet, sometimes Salman can get obtuse. His tweets can be misunderstood. Because I'm so keen that like me all of you love Salman's tweets - I'm translating some of his greatest verbal emissions as a public service.

Here are Salman's dhaasu tweets, interpreted (in no particular order).

Sanju and Salman to have intense action scene in their nexts

Salman Khan in Dabangg and Sanjay Dutt in Knock Out, both actors will be seen in hand-to-hand combat with their adversaries in the climax of their films Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt are racing towards the release of their action dramas at around the same time. While in Abhinav Kashyap's Dabangg Salman does some of the most intense action scenes of his life, Sanjay Dutt has pulled out all stops in Knock Out with action scenes that are bone-breaking real. Interestingly, the climax of both Dabangg and Knock Out show Salman and Sanjay locked in a hand-to-hand combat with their adversary. While in Dabangg, Khan fights Sonu Sood, in Knock Out Dutt is locked in a photo-finish fight with the British choreographer Joey Ansah who directed stunts for Matt Damon in The Bourne Ultimatum. Initially Ansah was only supposed to direct the climax. Bash like Bourne Says a source, "Sanju Baba wanted the fight to be as hard-hitting and real as the one between Matt Damon and Joey Ansah in The Bourne Ultimatum. So he suggested to director Mani Shankar that the adversary fighter in the climax should be Ansah himself." Almost 18 kilos lighter, Dutt has done the most intricate wrist-supported somersault-in-the-air seen in Indian cinema in Knock Out. Ansah has also smashed empty bottles on Dutt's head. Breaking bottles Says the director, "Sanju insisted on letting Joey Ansah break bottles on his head. We had ordered special bottles made of brittle glass from Los Angeles but still it was very painful." So whose hand-to-hand combat would have that optimum impact? Salman's or Sanju's? Wait and watch.

Salman genuinely believed I'd achieve success: Katrina Kaif

By Dibyojyoti Baksi

Mumbai, May 8 (IANS) Katrina Kaif, who usually remains tight-lipped about her relationship with actor Salman Khan, says the star always guided her and genuinely believed she would join the big league in Bollywood one day.

"Salman had been always there, more than anything to guide because I didn't know anything about the industry. What would remain special in my mind is that from the very beginning Salman told me that I will achieve this success in the industry. And at that point it was too far off," Katrina told IANS in an interview.

"That time I couldn't see myself one movie ahead, forget 15 movies ahead. I think that he believed it genuinely," the 25-year-old actor said.

She entered Bollywood in 2003 with the dud "Boom". Her first big hit was 2005 romantic comedy "Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya" in which she teamed up with Salman. After that she gave a string of hits, including "Namastey London", "Partner", "Welcome", "Singh Is Kinng" and critically acclaimed "New York".

But Katrina feels nobody can plan success.

"It's (success) destiny, no one can plan it. There are many people who are connected with the industry because of their father, mother or other family members; still they are not able to achieve what is termed as success in the industry.

"You can come here, make two or three films, your co-stars could be your friends - all this you can plan but you can't plan which film would be successful. The miracle that happened with my life has been the success of my films. Because, had those films not been successful, no one would have done anything for me," said Katrina.

She is now eager to take more responsibilities and do more diverse roles like the one she is doing in Prakash Jha's "Raajneeti', where she plays a politician.

"Till now I have done a genre of films. People have accepted me, loved me and have given me so much support. I never imagined getting so much. But I feel that there are other types of films to do. See other contemporary actors, they have done much more diverse roles.

"People can say that the success ratio of my films has been very, very good, but I still feel people should see me on other kinds of films too...

"May be something like a remake of 'Sita Aur Gita'...In 'Raajneeti', I have more responsibility. But you will have to remember that there I am with six very important guys, all have very important roles," said Katrina.

The actress maintains she always wanted to do something unusual in life.

"I always used to make a world in my head and live in that. I always wanted to be something unusual. Some of the dreams I remember, they may sound stupid - I wanted to be a firefighter, I wanted to be a stunt woman, I wanted to go to NASA. Acting was something to fancy," said Katrina.

Salman Khan gets more money for 'Dus Ka Dum 3'

His last release Veer may have tanked at the box office but the folks at Sony Entertainment are banking on Salman Khan to boost the TRPs of their channel with the third season of the game’s show Dus Ka Dum.

And reports have it that the actor will be paid handsomely more than what he was last year. In 2009, as we all know, Salman had slashed his price because of the recession in the industry. Back then he got a pay-cheque of Rs 80 lakh per episode for 25 episodes. This year, he is expected to pocket somewhere between Rs. 1.25 lakh to Rs 1.50 lakh per episode.

Salman’s manager Vikas Kapoor has confirmed that the actor is “definitely being paid more” than the previous two seasons, but he refused to disclose the amount.

The third season is likely to go on air in July this year. Salman says he’s excited about the show. When quizzed if he would like to have Shahrukh Khan as a guest on his show, Salman gave a positive reply and said he would welcome SRK and treat him like any other guest on the show.

Salman removed his lucky charm

Apart from his attitude and wacky sense of humour , one thing that has been inseparable from Salman Khanis the Feroza bracelet that the superstar has been wearing on his right wrist from last so many years. Even for his movie roles in films like Wanted and Yuvvraaj Salman did not take off the bracelet because he reportedly considered it his lucky charm. He made an exception for a few scenes for Veer only because the bracelet did not go along.

Recently, Salman has once again been stripped of his lucky charm for his role in Dabangg. The actor plays a corrupt cop from UP and the bracelet did not suit his character. Director Abhinav Kashyap says all he had to do was to tell Salman just once to remove the bracelet and the actor complied without any argument.

Awesome Chemistry between the most beautiful on screen couple of Bollywood

Salman to star in Judwaa 2

Salman Khan, David Dhawan and Sajid Nadiadwala get ready to make Judwaa 2. Kareena Kapoor might play one of the lead actresses.

Bollywood Superstar Salman Khan is finally ready to play the quirky Raja and the sober Prem in the sequel to his 1997 hit Judwaa. The actor has given his nod to team up once again with director David Dhawan and producer Sajid Nadiadwala for the sequel to the twin-comedy only after he was completely convinced with the script.

So far the idea of a sequel to Judwaa had been quelled mainly because the story ideas did not appeal to Salman. Now, David has finally come up with an idea that the team feels is worth pursuing.

Producer Sajid says, “We’ve been going back and forth with David on the story of Judwaa’s sequel for years. Since Judwaa released there have been innumerable films about twins and their adventures, so films about twin heroes had become stale. Before making Judwaa 2 we first had to make sure the plot not only went further than the first Judwaa but also goes beyond all the other double-role films that have come lately.”

Fact of the matter is that double roles have not been doing well lately. Sajid says, “We’ve gone back to the story board repeatedly to ensure Judwaa has very high novelty value.”

“David is working on giving Salman’s character a special new spin. We’ll give the two Salmans a very different look and the story moves ten years ahead but Salman is still as boyish as he used to be,” adds Sajid.

Judwaa 2 won’t feature either Karisma Kapoor or Rambha who were lead actresses in the first film.

But yes, Kareena Kapoor is being considered to star in the sequel.

Salman Khan as villain in Mr. India 2

Producer Boney Kapoor has confirmed that Bollywood Superstar Salman Khan will be playing the villain’s role in “Mr. India 2”. He refused to comment any further as the script is still to be finalized. For the first time in his career, Salman will play a villain on the lines of Amrish Puri, whose portrayal of Mogambo in “Mr. India” is iconic.

“Mr. India 2” marks Sridevi’s comeback and will also star Anil Kapoor. The film will be directed by Anees Bazmee. Salman and Boney share a very good bond. In fact, they got along very well during the making of their film “Wanted”. So when Salman heard that Boney was planning a sequel to “Mr. India”, he expressed a desire to star in the film.

Boney told Anees about casting Salman in the film, and Anees could not think of anything better than the role of the unforgettable Mogambo.Salman is only too happy to play a negative character in the film as it will have a completely different look.

According to the buzz, Salman will be playing a terrorist who wants to rule over India and the story will be about how Anil Kapoor, Sridevi and their gang try to free the country with the help of an invention made by Anil Kapoor.

Salman Khan to act in Malayalam superhit Bodyguard’s Hindi remake

By Ryan Lobo, March 18, 2010

He has been the heart throb of Bollywood for decades now, and the audiences have been witness to the varied characters he has played throughout his career, he is Salman Khan. The latest development is that Sallu bhai is all set to star in the remake of the south film Bodyguard.

The film which is being produced by Atul Agnihotri is still in the adaptation stages. However, Atul confirms saying, "Yes. Even though we are still adapting the script to fit the Bollywood audiences, we have confirmed Salman to play the lead role in it, while for the leading lady we are yet to decide and are keeping the options open."

The original, which was directed by Siddiqui, will have him behind the camera for the remake as well, says Atul, "As for the direction of the film, I have known Siddiqui for quite some time now. In fact, we were in talks when he was making the film down south. And now after it has acclaimed fame, I think there is no one better to direct it than him."

However, a little while ago there had been rumours that said that the rights for the film were with Boney Kapoor, to which Atul firmly states, "This is total rubbish. If there was anything like that Boney would have definitely told me, the rights for the remake have always been with me."

Further Atul tells us, "Right now, we are working on the adaptation of the film. Once this is complete, we will launch the making and finalize of the lyrics for the songs. Since most of the film has a lot of outdoor shoots, we are looking to start the shoot some where in the last three months of this year, while keeping in mind a tentative summer release for the film."

Salman and Deepika in Kick remake

Salman Khan's remake of the popular Telugu film 'Kick' is a go. Deepika Padukone has signed on to play the female lead and the film will be directed by A R Murugadoss of 'Ghajini' fame.

Southern junta will be a bit disappointed because hottie Ileana will not reprise her role in the Hindi remake of 'Kick'. The original film had Ravi Teja in the lead role. The Hindi remake will be produced by Bollywood supremo Sajid Nadiawala and will be filmed in 2010, with a release date slated for January 2011. Abhijat Joshi, the co-writer of Munnabhai flicks has been hired to pen the script of 'Kick'. Was Deepika Padukone a good choice for the film?

'Kick', which released earlier this year was a madcap comedy which revolved around a guy (Teja) who who loves challenges and cannot live without getting a "kick" out of doing things. Every morning before drinking milk he takes a whiff of whiskey to get a kick out of it. He joins a job and leaves it the next day just for kicks. He romances a woman and leaves her for the same reason. There is a love triangle, a cop and a mysterious thief. Yes, this is certainly a mass Sallu entertainer.

To prepare for the role, Salman is supposed to undergo martial arts training and also learn kickboxing. Like 'Wanted', this film also will have copious amounts of the trademark Salman Khan-cheese. Tollywood remakes have been he lifeline of Bollywood for a while now, Priyadarshan has been doling out remakes and rehashes year-after-year. Last year 'Ghajini' became the biggest Bollywood film of all time, and even 'Wanted' was a huge hit.

Salman Khan Joins Twitter

So finally Khan joins the Twitter as BeingSalmanKhan, something that looked almost impossible. In his first tweet, Salman says he joined the website on Arbaaz’s recommendation. In his first two tweets, Salman looks to be in his typical touch and doesn’t try and talk a more mature language or something.You can follow salman at his twitter account from this link
