Salman Khan's star-power! Cops in court try to click pics with Sallu

A star's power can be assessed by his fan-following. And on that basis there is no bigger star in India than Salman Khan as it was evident in the court on Tuesday.

It was an unusual sight on Tuesday in Mumbai Sessions Court, not because hundreds of fans gathered there to catch a glimpse of Salman Khan. It was also not because there were an equal number of mediapersons waiting for a byte from the actor. It was unusual because the policemen present there were seen clicking pictures with the star. Yes! such is Salman's star power that cops present in the court premises to manage the crowd could not stop themselves from taking pictures with the star before he got into his car to leave for home at the end of the day. The agitated media photographers told the cops, "Why aren't you letting us click pictures when you yourself were asking the star to pose for photographs with you?" Earlier in the day, the police had a tough time keeping eager-beaver fans and the media in control. Equipment of a few photographers was damaged in the jostling and pushing. In fact, it was strange to find the cops shielding his car and preventing the shutterbugs from clicking the superstar. A scuffle ensued between the cops and the photographers soon. Salman Khan is accused of running down a group of people sleeping on a pavement in Bandra in 2002, in which one person was killed. He has been charged with culpable homicide not amounting to murder. Next hearing in the case is on May 19.

Tiger Shroff: Another Salman Khan in making

Tiger Shroff, another star kid who has geared up to make it big in Bollywood with his upcoming ‘Heropanti’ seems to be following Salman Khan. We all are well aware how big stardom does Salman Khan possess and much of its credit goes to his splendid physique. While his ardent fans watch his movies to see Salman baring his perfect cuts and six pack abs, he himself too never disappoints his fans and gives a full glare to his brilliantly toned body in his every other flick.

Now Tiger Shroff who is already garnering enough appreciation for his intriguing physique in ‘Heropanti’ too is not shying away from flaunting that macho toned body in various promotional events of the film. Both Tiger Shroff and the female lead of the film, Kirti Sanon are busy promoting ‘Heropanti’ these days and are not letting any loop whole out to hit the film in the audience’s wit.

Lately, when Tiger and Kirti promoted the film while celebrating the World’s dance day amongst 20 female fans, the actor didn’t escape and flaunted his to-die-for physique and showed some uber cool dance moves.

The audience went gaga over him as he grooved to his songs bare bodied. While there are many in Bollywood who keep flaunting their six-pack abs in public time and again, no doubt ‘Salman is Salman.’

But after this Tiger Shroff’s stint, one can surely say another perfect bodied star at par with Salman Khan is in making.

Salman Khan Kick stunt causes panic in Poland

A stunt for Salman Khan's Kick caused locals to contact Polish police in a panic. According to the Daily Mail, locals saw a London double-decker bus drive off Warsaw's Gdanski Bridge and plunge into the Vistula River below, not realising that it was a stunt staged for the movie.

One onlooker said: "I saw the bus on top of the bridge and wondered what a London Bus was doing in the middle of Warsaw "It didn't move at first but then it started up, and then just drove off and fell into the river. I was completely shocked and had no idea it was part of a film." The incident was staged as part of a car chase and saw the bridge closed off at a cost of £15,000. Production company spokesman Krzysztof Solek from Film Polska Productions said the price of closing the bridge had helped them beat off competition from London and Dublin to stage the scenes in Warsaw.

While police were able to alleviate public concerns, others complained about the inconvenience and the cost of closing the bridge. One resident said: "They only paid £15,000 to close the bridge off, but how much was lost by people being late for work because of the diversion?" Angry locals have set up a Facebook group to try to raise an equal amount of money to hold a mass barbecue on the bridge. The film is directed by Sajid Nadiadwala and stars Khan.

Shahrukh Khan and Salman Khan Rivalry: Bollywood Producer to Get Both Stars Together Along With Aamir Khan?

Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan may be seen together along with Aamir Khan soon. There's a possibility that the Bollywood superstar trio might just be spotted together soon – not for a film unfortunately, but to celebrate producer Sajid Nadiadwala's recent success, reports Business of Cinema. Even though the tension between arch Bollywood rivals Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan seems to have subsided, having the two superstars under one roof seems highly unlikely. But it looks like Nadiadwala might just manage to get all three mega stars together. The producer is throwing a massive bash to celebrate the success of his recent films, 2 States and Highway.

Confirming the success party, Nadiadwala who is currently shooting for his upcoming directorial debut with Salman Khan's Kick in Poland said: "By the grace of God this has so far been a fantastic year for my production house. When we produced Highway, Imtiaz Ali (director) and I planned it as a small experimental quickie while we waited for Ranbir Kapoor's dates later during this year. How would we know Highway would be such a success?! It is one of my proudest achievements. And now I hear roaring reports of 2 States." Aamir, Salman and Shah Rukh Khan were last seen together in one room at the premiere of 3 Idiots in Mumbai. Reportedly, the moment was rather awkward. Aamir Khan did try to make the effort to patch the other two up, but in vain. "Here's hoping that the prolific filmmaker can be a part of the much needed Khan reunion. No one else other than Sajid Nadiadwala, who is good friends with all the Three Khans, can make that happen," states the BOC report.

More and more Bollywood producers should opt for Poland, says Salman Khan

It was mere destiny that superstar Salman Khan flew here to shoot his upcoming film "Kick". Impressed with the scenic locales, he said he would like to come here to unwind and also hoped that Indian filmmakers will explore the facilities that the country offers. "Had the British authorities not refused me the necessary visa, the original shooting would have been done in London," Salman told IANS. "But I am happy that I have come to Warsaw to finish the film. Poland on the whole is a very beautiful country and the city of Warsaw is a place of my dreams. "I wish more and more Bollywood producers would opt for the country (to shoot films) as all the technical facilities are there. What else can one desire for! Polish people are very understanding and friendly. I would love to come again and again even to chill out from my heavy commitments," added the 48-year-old.

"Kick", Sajid Nadiadwala's directorial debut, is being shot here and the superstar sounds positive about the film and feels it has the potential to cross the Rs.100 crore mark when it releases July 27. Even Nadiadwala is satisfied with his decision to shoot here. "We got excellent cooperation from the Polish ministry of tourism who got us subsidised rates in a five star hotel for a crew of 70 people which we brought here from Mumbai. Our local partner Film Polska did a commendable job and they entertained our each and every demand. Our experience is simply great," Nadiadwala said while addressing the international media. The credit goes to M.R. Shahjahan, executive producer of Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment Pvt Ltd, for suggesting Warsaw as an alternative shooting destination for "Kick". He experienced the perks of shooting in Poland while making his own film "Aazaan". "After initial hesitation Sajid agreed and we are going to add another chapter to Indo-Polish film cooperation," Shahjahan told IANS. In 2006, Yash Raj Films also canned the climax of "Fanna" and at that time Aamir Khan, Kajol and Suniel Shetty had come to shoot in the Tatra mountains as they wanted to create a war-like Kashmir situation. Monika Kapil Mohta, Indian ambassador to Poland, said: "For the past three years or ever since I have come to Poland, I have been pleading with Bollywood producers to do something here. Finally, Nadiadwala has obliged us and this will be one of the biggest achievements of my term." She tagged Salman and Randeep Hooda as the "cultural ambassadors in the global affairs". "Bollywood has become an important tool to project India as a soft power. Polish youth watch you with admiration. Your films have created a new excitement about India. We hope your word of mouth will also create more understanding and curiosity about Poland in Bollywood circles," she added. The ambassador also praised the role of the Indo-Polish Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IPCCI) for creating a proper forum to lure Bollywood producers. IPCCI is hopeful that in the coming year some five to six film units will be shooting in Poland.

Salman Khan’s forthcoming film Kick has been locked for an Eid release this year. Interestingly, Sajid Nadiadwala, who is making his directorial debut with Kick, will showcase its trailer along with Heropanti. Coincidentally, Heropanti is produced by Sajid’s production house Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment Pvt Ltd. Directed by Sabbir Khan, it marks the acting debut of Tiger Shroff and Kriti Sanon and will hit the screens on May 16. “ Yes, it is coming out with Heropanti. I am yet to work on the trailer as I am still shooting the film. It still has time since Heropanti is releasing on May 16,” says Sajid.

Reportedly, earlier Heropanti was clashing with the Randeep Hooda- Alia Bhatt starrer Highway on February 21. However, Sajid made sure the two films didn’t clash as Highway is his co- production with Imtiaz Ali. Kick is a remake of the Telugu film of the same name which starred Ravi Teja and Ileana D’Cruz. Sajid has produced several Salman blockbusters over the years, the two are very close friends. It is believed that Salman has been taking active interest in Kick in terms of giving his suggestion during scenes.
