Bigg Boss 7 second runner-up Ajaz Khan is overwhelmed by the love he is receiving from fans as he can’t stop showering praises over Salman Khan whom he feels is behind all that.

Salman Khan eyes top 'Jai Ho' collections, even as Eros International pays up Rs 110 crore

Salman Khan flexes muscles, for his latest film 'Jai Ho', to beef-up collections figures.
lman Khan has done something different. For his latest film, 'Jai Ho' he has retained the distribution rights in not one but three circuits. When you are sure about your product, you try to retain a certain share of the earnings for yourself. This has been a trend in the industry for long. Earlier it used to be keeping the overseas rights of a movie or getting a share in the film. But, Salman Khan has done things differently and succeeded and that has pushed him further onward. According to a source related to the project, “Salim Khan who is also into distribution business, decided to keep three circuits of the film, while the film has been sold to Eros International for an astronomical price. The circuits are Central Province, Central India and Rajasthan.” Not many are aware that reportedly this humongous figure of Rs 110 crore at which Eros has bought the film does not include satellite rights, a segment that forms the second highest stream of revenue for the industry. Khan had earlier already signed a deal of Rs 500 crore with Star for satellite rights of all his movies.

Salman Khan mentors his Jai Ho co-star Daisy Shah

Salman Khan has launched several leading ladies, like Sneha Ullal (Lucky: No Time For Love, 2005) and Zarine Khan (Veer, 2010). However, he never took an active interest in their careers once their respective films released. Things seem to be a tad different with Daisy Shah. There is a murmur in the industry that the Dabangg (2010) star is taking a special interest in his Jai Ho co-star. Daisy was offered the second lead’s role that was finally lapped up by Hazel Keech, in Bodyguard (2011). However, for some reason, things did not work out and she was then given a second chance by Salman. “It was unusual on his part to reconsider her for another film when she had refused his previous offer,” says an insider. And after roping her in for the Sohail Khan-directed project, Salman is apparently guiding her on how to deal with the industry and handle the media to ensure that she gains a foothold in Bollywood. “Daisy is a simple girl and Salman has asked her to keep her simplicity intact. He feels it is her identity and will take her a long way,” says the source. Witnesses observe the actor had showered a similar kind of affection and care on Katrina Kaif in the past. Also, on Salman’s advice, the upcoming film’s makers had kept Daisy out of the first trailer of the film, where the actor was planning to unveil his look. When contacted, the spokesperson of the film confirms the development and says, “Daisy does not belong to the film fraternity and since Salman is launching her, he is also grooming her in the ways of the industry. He has already started sharing tips with her as they will soon start the film’s promotions.” - See more at: http://www.hindustantimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/salman-khan-mentors-his-jai-ho-co-star-daisy-shah/article1-1169252.aspx#sthash.pjWXVioT.dpuf

Ajaz thanks Salman Khan for making people love him after 'Bigg Boss 7' stint

Ajaz Khan was flattered by the love that he received once he came out of reality show "Bigg Boss - Saath 7". He credits Bollywood star Salman Khan for making him popular among the audience when he was inside the "Bigg Boss" house. Salman hosted the show. "Salman Khan is the man who has put me in the hearts of the audience. I first made a place in his heart and only then could I enter the people's hearts," Ajaz said here Friday at an acting institute Livewires. "When the public saw their idol Salman appreciate me, they thought if he can, then even they can love me. Salman is responsible for placing me where I am," added the actor, who was the second runner up of "Bigg Boss - Saath 7". Ajaz further praises Salman for being a good human being. "Salman bhai is a very good man and that is why he is in the hearts of so many people. He is not like 'I am a superstar and stay away from me'. He never misses a chance to appreciate someone and there is hardly anyone in the industry who does it," Ajaz said. Ajaz, who has already done some films in the south, will soon be seen in the Hindi film "Ya Rab". Talking about it, he said: "It is a film on terrorism. It is a good film, please watch it."

Hrithik Roshan, Salman Khan end tiff?

While most Bollywood actors tend to head overseas to bring in 2014 away from the media glare, Salman Khan celebrated New Year’s Eve with a group of close friends (including Sonakshi Sinha and Elli Avram) at his farmhouse in Panvel. However, on that day, Salman had a surprise visitor. - See more at: http://www.hindustantimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/hrithik-roshan-salman-khan-end-tiff/article1-1169240.aspx#sthash.sOa0dbT5.dpuf Hrithik Roshan, who has always shared a rocky equation with Salman, blowing hot and cold at times, drove down to Panvel for a couple of hours on December 31. “He left at around 8.30 pm. So he didn’t bring in the New Year with him,” says an eyewitness. The purpose of Hrithik’s visit is still unclear. News of a tiff between the actors first surfaced when Salman allegedly made a derogatory comment about Hrithik’s film, Guzaarish (2010). Then, a few weeks ago, they made headlines again when Hrithik — unlike his Krrish 3 (2013) co-stars Priyanka Chopra and Kangana Ranaut — didn’t appear on the show, Bigg Boss that is hosted by Salman. Another set of reports claimed that it was Salman who was not keen on having him promote his film on the show. But a few days later, Hrithik told us that all is well between them. “Salman has really added and contributed to my life in many ways,” he had said. After his meeting with Salman, Hrithik brought in 2014 at his friends Goldie Behl and Sonali Bendre’s house. Despite repeated attempts, Hrithik couldn’t be reached for a comment. - See more at: http://www.hindustantimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/hrithik-roshan-salman-khan-end-tiff/article1-1169240.aspx#sthash.sOa0dbT5.dpuf

Salman Khan is the most searched Indian celebrity online

Jai Ho song Photocopy: Salman Khan and Daisy Shah’s garba number is entertaining!

The new song from Jai Ho is out and though the lyrics are quite crazy, it’s fun to hear the track and watch the video After a fast paced Baaki sab first class and the romantic Tere naina, the makers of Jai Ho have released another song Photocopy. Sung by Himesh Reshammiya, Keerthi Sagathia and Palak muchhal, the new track has Gujarati as well as Hindi lyrics. But Photocopy is not for music lovers or those who prefer soul stirring songs. It’s for all those who love dancing no matter what the music and of course for Salman Khan fans. Written by Kausar Munir, the lyrics of this garba number are quite wacky and the music composed by duo Sajid-Wajid is typical Bollywood ishtyle. Besides quirky lyrics, what’s interesting is Sallu miyaan’s garba moves. While he does all the steps in his own trademark way, Daisy Shah on the other hand grooves gracefully. That’s not surprising considering she is really good at dancing. All in all, Photocopy is a full on dhamaal song but you’ll have to hear it more than once to actually like it. So hear the song, watch the video and we are sure you’ll be laughing by the end of it – that’s what this song is meant for!

Aamir Khan: I want Salman Khan's JAI HO to do more business than DHOOM 3

That Aamir and Salman Khan have turned best of the buddies in B-town is evident now. Time and again the duo has proved their newfound genuine friendship. As Salman went out of his way to promote Aamir Khan's DHOOM 3, the highest grosser of 2013, by sporting bowler's hat on his controversial Bigg Boss show, now Aamir would also try promoting his jigri dost Salman Khan's upcoming film JAI HO in every possible manner. Aamir says, ''In every possible way I will promote Salman Khan's JAI HO. Even I am eagerly looking forward to JAI HO being a great film...I am looking forward to it as an audience. I also want to be entertained and want to have a good time at the end of the day.'' While DHOOM 3 has set the cash registers ringing in, Aamir Khan, like a true-blue friend, wants Salman's JAI HO to surpass DHOOM's record. Rather than being competitive, Aamir wants his friend's film to do more business than his.

What is Salman Khan's latest obsession? (see pics)

One of the most iconic Khans of Bollywood, Salman Khan enjoys his own niche genre of super stardom. When it comes to action films, packed with eclectic bond of romance and fun, it is surely none other than Salman Khan who takes away the cake. With his ecstatic charm and uber ‘Dabangg’ image, Mr. Khan has created an unmatchable charisma that many newbies of Bollywood aspire to achieve. Salman Khan’s films are taken as trusted brand of full-fledged entertainment comprising right flavour of action, romance, comedy and glamour. What also highlights his films is the apt selection of songs. A few recent movies of Salman Khan involve songs elaborating around the beauty of eyes. It seems evident from the songs of the actor’s recent flicks that Salman has got inarguable obsession with the word ‘nain’ (beautiful eyes). Grooving romantically and trying to woo his on-screen leading ladies in the films, every other song from his recent offerings has done wonders, with the audience unable to resist humming the songs. Let’s take a look of Salman Khan’s ‘nain’ songs from his recent blockbuster hits!

Salman Khan wins over Shahrukh Khan!

The victory is on the social networking site Facebook. The Jai Ho star has emerged as the winner in the popularity battle between him and his arch rival There has been a constant war between Salman Khan and Shahrukh Khan for the past few years. The superstars have been duelling for top position in the popularity stakes. And it looks like in the most recent face-off the Dabangg Khan has beaten SRK on the popularity meter – the Jai Ho actor has 12 million followers on his Facebook page while the Chennai Express king has only 5 million followers. Salman has also defeated Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan, who have 8 million and 5 million followers respectively. The eternal bachelor of B-town has one more victory to celebrate – he was named the most searched Bollywood celebrity on Google in 2013. Salman has not had a single release in 2013, but still rules on social networking websites. Why? Maybe the credit goes to the recently concluded high voltage reality show Bigg Boss 7 that Salman hosted on weekends. As you will remember, Salman created quite a furore on Bigg Boss 7 after he was accused of being biased towards a few contestants. The superstar received a lot of flak from his haters and surprisingly, his lovers too, during the show. Looks like the negative publicity has worked for the man. Well, as they say, any publicity is good publicity, right? Apart from Bigg Boss 7, Salman has also been creating a buzz in the Internet space for his new film Jai Ho, which will be released on January 24. Looking forward to it?

Salman Khan's 'firang' connection

For a while now, ever since he told Karan Johar with a straight face on national television that he is a virgin, the social networking sites have had a field daylaughing over Salman Khan's 'lie'. The 48-year old star has dated more than a dozen of women and more than half of them are firangs. Check out...
Somy Ali Salman and the British-bred Pakistani were a couple in the '90s. He upturned a bottle of fizzy on her head but the reason for their break-up, she said was Aishwarya Rai. They are still friends. Ali Larter Salman met the Final Destination actress in 2007 during is Hollywood film, 'Marigold'. Ali Larter had said, "I wish Salman stays in my life forever." But then returned to LA and robbed this Westside story of a happily-ever-after ending. Ximena Navarrette Rosete The Mexican model and Miss Universe 2010 was to star opposite Salman in 'Partner 2'. She admitted she found him attractive even though the film didn't happen. Claudia Ciesla The half Pole-half German was evicted from the Bigg Boss house on day one, but not before catching Salman's eye in 2009. He couldn't do much for her Bollywood dreams. Claudia Ciesla was last seen in the 'Balma' song in Akshay Kumar's Khiladi 786. But though out of the audience's sight, she's not out of Salman's mind. Lulia Vantur A few months ago, pictures of Sallu and the Romanian actress Lulia Vantur on the sets of 'Kick' flooded the Internet and there were rumours that they were planning to get hitched. But apparently, she is married to Grammy-nominated musician Marius Moga. Today she is back in Romania and he is back kicking butt. Hazel Keech Hazel, like Salman's exflame Katrina, took Hindi lessons from Vidur Chaturvedi for 'Bodyguard' (2011) in which she played Kareena Kapoor 's friend. She turned up in the Bigg Boss house this season. No points for guessing on whose recommendation! Angela Jonsson was the winner of the Kingfisher Calendar in 2011. Salman promised to launch her his home production Sher Khan. But then she upset him after going on a dinner date with Ranbir. Elli Avram The Bigg Boss contestant made way to Salman's heart with her songs, funny accent and 'Malviya Nagar ke James Bond' lines and recently she was a 'special guest' at his Panvel farmhouse on his birthday. Katrina Kaif In 2000 another British lady, Katrina Kaif, entered his life as his on-screen 'Partner' and the two were soon going steady off screen as well. There was a strong buzz that she would eventually become his life partner. But Katrina chose movies over marriage and then Ranbir Kapoor took over.
