Party with Sallu for Rs 1.75 crore

Posted: 15 Jun 2012 09:37 AM PDT




With a string of hits to his credit, Salman Khan is not just one of the highest paid actors when it comes to films. He has reportedly been quoting a jaw-dropping Rs 1.75 crore to make an appearance at events. What's more, the actor also wants to be ferried in chartered flights.

Reportedly, Salman, after the success of Wanted, Dabangg and Ready, has raised his fee to a whopping Rs 50 crore (which includes profit share).

But the box-office effect has rubbed off on the actor's off-screen aura as well. According to an insider, recently when he was offered Rs 1 crore along with a chartered flight for a couple of events in Dubai, the actor flatly refused to take them up.

Insiders revealed that this sudden and staggering hike in remuneration is a brainwave of Salman's manager Reshma Shetty. According to reports, she was also the one who had convinced Salman to hike his fee for Dus Ka Dum and Bigg Boss.

Sources close to the actor told TOI that more offers for events (business launch, birthdays, weddings) have started pouring in. "Everybody wants Salman to perform at their event. If one person fails to offer him the amount of money he asks, another will," said the source.

But Salman's spoils of success don't stop at merely a price hike. TOI has learnt that certain producers even consult the actor whether he wants the director of the film changed before he signs the project. And though, Salman does not push his choices, he does mention names of his favourite directors and asks the producers to select one.

Reshma Shetty did not respond to our calls and text messages. Neither did Salman.

Salman Khan to play Hanuman

Maybe it's pure coincidence that the actor chooses to remain a bachelor offscreen as well. But we hear Salman Khan is Uru Patel's actor of choice when it comes to playing Lord Hanuman in the producer's modern-day re-telling of the epic Ramayana that he plans to put on floors next year.

Salman Khan will be Uru's contemporary Hanuman, a super hero who can fly over mountains and skyscrapers to rescue Sita from the evil present-day Ravana. A source close to the project revealed the role had initially been offered to Aamir Khan but "somehow, things did not materialise."

Word is Uru is keen on Hollywood stars Keanu Reeves and Gary Oldman portraying Rama and Ravana, respectively. And while Shilpa Shetty was to essay the role of Sita, the actress opted out after the stork came visiting her. The latest being the hunt is on for a fresh international face to play Sita. Uru's Ramayana, incidentally his brother Raju's (late brother-in-law of Kumar Gaurav) dream, will see all the epic characters being reborn in 2012-13 New York.

"Uru wants to turn that dream into reality. Salman has shown interest. Things are being worked out but it's not going to be easy putting the film together. The cost is going to be astronomical as well," said the source.

Being fat is not sexy: Kareena Kapoor

Posted: 15 Jun 2012 09:28 AM PDT



 
While actors like Vidya Balan and Sonakshi Sinha are known for their curves, Kareena Kapoor believes that being big is uncool. She has been on a strict diet for over a month to look lean and sexy for a song she's shooting for an upcoming film.

Says Bebo, "I have gone back to the size-zero look I had in Tashan, but this time it is curvier. I wanted this body for my item song in the film. Since it is a rigorous and raunchy number, I decided to go for a slim and sexy look. But I still have curves in the right places. It may be a trend now with some actors, but I definitely don't want to look plump or fat!"

Vidya and Sonakshi aren't just comfortable with their curves, they're calling it sexy. Bebo retorts, "Being fat is not sexy! Anyone who says that is talking crap. Voluptuous is sexy, but fat is out. Any woman who says she doesn't want to be thin is talking nonsense. It's every girl's dream."

Kareena's dietician Rujuta Diwekar has developed a challenging diet for the actor. Says Kareena, "The key to a sexy figure is a great diet, combined with the right exercise. Rujuta combines fat and protein, and tells me to eat everything in moderation, and every two hours. She keeps changing my diet so that my body doesn't get bored. I recently went to Turkey for eight days and it was more like a health trip. I was training twice a day and was on a strict diet. I ate salads, hummus with pita bread, strawberries and olives. For dinner, I had an Indian cook make daal, rice and sabzi."

It isn't about diets only. The actor says, "I did my regular yoga exercises there too. I do 40 minutes of asanas and 50 surya namaskars."

She has a word of advice for people who go on crash diets like the no-carb diets. "How long can you go without carbohydrates? Some day you will have potato or rice."

How does Saif like the new Kareena? He's always maintained that he likes curves on his ladylove. Says Bebo, "He appreciates the fact that I love the challenge of disciplining myself for a role and how I do it. Saif always gives me the encouragement I need."

‘Flaunt’ calls Freida Pinto as ‘Museum Quality Beautiful’

Posted: 15 Jun 2012 08:59 AM PDT



Freida Pinto has never been a conventional actress and the girl has already played several nationalities successfully. Her latest photo shoot with the indie fashion magazine Flaunt reveals her ultra glam side as she displays the retro look of the 50s. Freida looks sensuous in a short raven-haired wig, flaunting wardrobe from designer labels like Bottega Veneta and Versace. The magazine has an exclusive interview by Freida where she gets candid about her career and her experience in Bollywood. She also explains the reason for her absence in Bollywood. She said, "When I was promoting this big-budget film, some Indian media reported that I was being a diva on set, and that's the reason I did not want to come to India to promote the film. I'm like, 'What? I'm in f***ing America. That's why I can't promote the film in India. It's not easy to be in two places at once.' It's not true." The magazine, too, seems impressed by the girl and she has been introduced by the mag as: "Freida Pinto is Museum Quality Beautiful".

South superstar Chiranjeevi's son Ram Charan Teja is making his grand Bollywood debut with the 'Zanjeer' remake where he will essay the role of the angry young man Inspector Vijay, played by Amitabh Bachchan in the original film.
Says Ram, "Zanjeer is a tribute to Mr. Bachchan and my father (actor Chiranjeevi)."
Amitabh Bachchan posted on his blog, "I do hope they will make a successful film. It is a compliment to the film being remade it was worthy of remaking when you had a hand in making the original. How many films do carry the benefit of a remake, is what needs to be appreciated also."
Meanwhile, Teja is all set to marry his childhood sweetheart Upasana and the actor promises to have two weddings — one for the family and friends, and the other for his fans. He says: "There's just no question of not inviting my fans."

shahrukh anushka bike ride london
The pairing of Shahrukh Khan and Anushka Sharma in 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' hit the right notes and the film went on to be a huge box-office success. The two have been paired up once again for Yash Chopra's forthcoming untitled flick, only with a difference that this happens to be a love triangle and the other female lead in the film is Katrina Kaif.
Recently, SRK and Anushka shot for the film on a bike through the busy bylanes of Britain's capital. This particular bike scene was shot on the first day at the shoot and brought back the memories of the two stars as Taani and Suri riding a similar two-wheeler in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.
After the shoot was over, SRK took Anushka for a fun ride along the streets of London and sure enough, they were aided with ample security to prevent mobbing.
