Salman Khan thanks the three F's in his life!

Salman Khan - the name that makes the fans go woohoo and his mere smile drives girls crazy. He has been living the true star life and he thanks god for the blessings showered upon him and keeping his F's strong that makes him drive the B-town with pride and yet single. 

Talking to a tabloid, the actor mentioned that he might not remain single forever - and marriage is on charts any moment but for the time being it is his movie 'Ek Tha Tiger' that is his concentration. The actor said that he is happy to have done the role is excited to see its release in few weeks to come.

In all the ups and downs through his career - he thanked the three important F's of his life - Family, Friends and Fans - and he feels that without them he might be a different person altogether.

The actor also said that he has been dragged into controversies for no concrete reasons and has been subjected to undue criticism. And hence, he prefers to keep mum on issues that show him in bad light.

And on being asked whether he has now got used to all the brickbats, the actor said, “I feel blessed that I haven’t seen or felt real pain to be immune to it. But I am dreading the time it comes. I feel blessed to have everything going fine. My parents’ health is good, my brothers are well-settled, I have a great brother-in-law and my own career is doing fine. I hope and pray that I am fit and fine always.” 

Bless you Salman :)

Kabir Khan - Friendship and Fights with Salman

Even friends of Salman Khan would admit the fact that its tough at the start to be with Salman Khan, so has Kabir Khan, the director of the movie Ek Tha Tiger accepts - he was talking to TOI recently. "I will be honest. It took time for Salman and me to come on the same page. There were teething issues on how we look at the scenes and his character." says Kabir Khan.

In fact, Kabir revealed that perhaps they pushed the actor a bit too far when it came to the action sequences. "But after we learnt about his illness, we got scared and were careful. In fact, we have used a body double as much as any other filmmaker would," said Kabir.

Speaking about the stunt sequences in the movie Kabir Khan was open to what he wanted  "We did not use cables like in other films. I did not want Salman to look like a superhero but a fit and agile man. I don't want to sound pompous but this film is going to redefine action in Hindi cinema. The action sequences take the story forward and are different from what Salman has so far done in his career. There has to be an attempt to reintroduce the actor," Kabir told TOI.

"Salman reports on the sets on his own time. He does not start his day early. And he was clear about it before we went on floors. But once he is on the sets, he is all yours till you wrap up. So well, you just have to plan your day with him intelligently," explained the director.

Fights with Katrina Kaif on Costumes

"Katrina and Salman go back a long way. He was very involved in their scenes together and her costumes. They have a certain equation. Even Salman seeks her opinion. But yes, there was an incident where they disagreed over Katrina's costume in the song. It was over a particular cut in the black blouse she has worn with a yellow skirt." says the director.

After all, the director revealed, "Salman has had a say in many things that have gone into Ek Tha Tiger." A dress is perhaps just a small part.

Its coming hard on both director and actors but they still say that Salman is close to their hearts!

Sonakshi on Confusion clouds - Help!

Oh My God, its not only the name of the movie but it is also what Sonakshi Sinha is saying when she wanted to pick her wardrobe for the move. She is in great dilemma and has now asked for her fans to choose from the designs. Is it a publicity stunt? may be, you can consider everything to be for publicity, but for some reason people truly have this confusion after seeing the designs, will those look good on the otherwise, desi girl who has always been seen on-screen in desi avtars?

The confusion started when she was approached for a sizzling dance number in Akshay's co-production venture along with Ashwini Yardi, Oh My God!, under their banner Grazing Goat Productions.

The song is a Gokulashtami festive song called 'Go Govinda'. The ace choreographer and now director, Prabhudheva who created the Rowdy Rathore magic, will not only be choreographing this song but also matching steps with Sonakshi. Sources say that the actress was in a dilemma about doing this track because it will test her dancing powers and she has to ensure she looks right in it. It is said that renowned designer, Ashley Rebello, who happens to be Salman's personal designer, will be roped in, to get her look perfect for the number. Ashwini Yardi, co-producer of Oh My God! confirmed the news saying that Sonakshi is doing the song in the film.

Even with the designers already giving her the two looks she has been still confused and have asked to choose between the two designs and tweet her about which you feel will look good on her. 

Its tough one Sona, as we still have a confusion on what will look good on you, if you had put in the photos with both dresses on, it will have been much more easier!

With Rowdy Rathore in high skies, it seems that Akshay has started considering the actress a lucky charm for him and he doesn't want anything short of Prabhudeva for the song. We hope she finalizes on the fan's choice of dress. 

And we hope we do say 'Oh My God!' when we see your cameo :sigh:

Madhuri Dixit now a star at Orion

Now Madhuri Dixit will shine up in the sky smiling bright at her fans down on earth, and even on herself. It is news that Madhuri Dixit has one fan who did name one of the stars at Orion constellation after her.

Madhuri Dixit was equally excited to hear the news as she did not contain her excitement and posted on twitter "Wanted to thank my fans for the honor. They had a star in the Orion constellation named after me (sic)!," announced Madhuri on her Twitter account and also posted a picture of the certificate conferred on her by the Star Foundation.

Members of 'The Empress' fan page made the effort to get a celestial body named after Madhuri. The fan page comprising 13 members met the actress on the sets of the dance reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa which she is currently judging, to present her with the certificate recently.

The certificate by Star Foundation reads: "A celestial body in the sky above has been named in honour of Madhuri Dixit-Nene and is officially located in the constellation Orion."

So if you like this, wait for the rains to go, go out to the night sky and smile wide as Madhuri Dixit Nene might be watching you!

It is not the first time as Shah Rukh Khan was one of the first stars to have his name for a celestial body and Shahid Kapoor also was given the honor on his birthday by his fans. We might soon see other stars go up in sky as well!

Mohanlal not happy with 'Tezz'

The Mollywood super star, Mohanlal is open about his disagreement when the promos of 'Tezz' got released. He found that he had lesser screen presence compared to the other actors in the movie and he took out the social networking to comment his views and there has been a quite lot of fans supporting the star. Although the role of Mohanlal in the movie is more close to a guest role or a cameo, still he feels that he has been shown in a shorter length of time than what is normal.

The promos mainly have Ajay Devgn and Anil Kapoor in most of the scenes in promos. But on the other hand production house confirms that Mohanlal has been paid ransom for his presence and the signing amount is close to the full fledged remuneration that he receives for a Malayalam movie.

Clearing the air, Suresh Krishna, Priyadarshan's associate explains, "Mohanlal has just six scenes in this film. He shot for seven days - two days in London, two days in Birmingham and three days in Mumbai. So you can imagine the length of the role. Out of the 2,500 prints of the film, only 10 will be screened in Kerala. Incidentally, this is a film that is being released in States like Punjab and Haryana where people know Bollywood stars better than they do any other south star. So, it might not be too easy to market a Bollywood movie with Mohanlal."

A source close to the production house confirmed his million rupee round up and said "He was paid just around the same amount that he usually takes home for a full-fledged Malayalam film. From industry reports, that amount goes into crores. You do the math."

But the producers seems to have taken the uproar seriously and are planning to release the next promo with equal importance to Mohanlal and Ajay Devgn, so we can wait in peace for the next promo to be released.
