Mumbai, Sept 16: Bollywood’s macho-man Salman Khan is all set to star in the most expensive Bollywood flick ever. The 100 crore musical in question will be produced by T- Series and will be directed by Anees Bazmi of ‘Singh is Kinng’ fame.

According to reports, Salman will start shooting for the flick from August 2009. The movie is apparently a romantic comedy with a musical backdrop. The actor has received a throbbing high signing amount for the same.

In an interview given to a news daily, Bhushan Kumar of T-Series confirmed the report and said, “The film has a big budget of approximately Rs 100 crore. Salman bhai is like family. I will obviously want him to earn from the film and he will want me to earn.”

With Sallu pocketing a huge sum of money, looks like he has finally taken a cue from ex-flame Aishwarya Rai who has become one of the most highly paid actors in Bollywood with her latest price escalation.

Salman Khan released the music of movie ‘Kaash Mere Hote’ Salman Khan released the Music of Shravans Entertainment Films ‘Kaash Mere Hote’ on the sets of film ‘Yuvrraj’ at filmcity. Kumar Saahil was very excited after getting some tips from Salu bhai.

The film aslo stars, Rajesh Khanna & Sana.

After Shahrukh Khan, it’s now Hrithik Roshan who is breaking the headlines for smoking. While Shahrukh favors smoking, Hrithik opposes it. Hrithik has a clear picture in the industry for not holding butts in films or in social gatherings. On looking at this positive angle, a pharmaceutical company has approached him to endorse anti-smoking chewing gum. He is in talk with the company and would sign the contract soon after he returns from New Mexico. It is learnt that Hrithik is the only choice of the company and they are planning innumerable ads with him for print and electronic media.

A source reveals, “Pfizer is planning to launch anti smoking chewing gum in the country. They are in talks with Hrithik to endorse the product. Once Hrithik gives his approval, they plan to break into a huge campaign. Hrithik doesn’t smoke and advocates anti smoking to all his close friends and family.”

The source adds, “Hrithik has a clean image in the industry. Also kids form a huge part of his fanbase. Endorsing an anti-smoking product would only enhance his image and help him draw in more crowds. Hope, Hrithik’s product may appeal the youths.

It took Ranbir Kapoor almost a year (after the commercial debacle of SAWAARIYA) to prove his credentials at the box-office, with the hit BACHNA AE HASEENO. But, Imran Khan, nephew of Aamir Khan is luckier. Firstly, his debut vehicle the blockbuster, JAANE TU…YA JAANE NA made him an overnight sensation and secondly, he as well as the producers of his forthcoming venture, KIDNAP are now cashing in on his mind-blowing success, which was just around two months back. This is evident from the fact that all the hoardings as well as the posters (even the promotional track, ‘Mit Jaaye’) have Imran Khan all over. Even the lead actor, the much senior Sanjay Dutt has taken a back seat and is happily giving prominence to the emerging star, a habit with the humble superstar, Dutt.

The trade and industry is waiting with bated breath to see the response of Imran Khan’s second film, KIDNAP. The three main reasons behind this eagerness is the fact that this time Imran Khan does not enjoy the patronage and help (with the publicity) of his uncle Aamir Khan. A section of the trade and media went to the extent of saying that JT…YJN was a hit because of Aamir Khan’s massive publicity. Secondly KIDNAP is an action-thriller which will see Imran in a sort of a negative role (unlike his JT…YJN chocolate boy lover image). And last but not the least, KIDNAP releases on October 2nd and it is not a solo release. The main opposition will come from another established star in his own right, Abhishek Bachchan, whose DRONA releases on the same day.

After Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan, Salman Khan and Ram Gopal Varma it is anchor and director Sajid Khan who has been approached to launch his blog and pen down his experiences as a celebrity.

Revealed a source, ”Top, well known websites have approached Sajid to start a blog. Sajid is witty! His humour is spontaneous and right on the mark. The website owners know that Sajid has this uncanny ability to make humoristic statements dripping with sarcasm and at the same time put their points across seriously. Sajid however has not made any decision as yet.”

The source also revealed that Sajid has been offered an unbelievable sum to be a part of the website’s blog. ”Because two-three different site have approached Sajid, he has not made any decision as yet.”

We visited Filmistan recently. And there was a mammoth set put up. And suddenly we spotted a ‘Ghai’ behind the camera, with hat et al. Subhash was shooting Yuvraaj , a film starring Salman Khan, Zayed Khan, Katrina Kaif, Anil Kapoor… It was a song and dance sequence being choreographed by Shiamak Davar.

And ‘behind the scenes’ we were privy to some ‘tear-jerking’ moments. Apparently, Subhash Ghai at that time got to learn that Shiamak had refused to accept the 3 lakh cheque sent to him for his services. And Davar’s reason for refusal was a plain, “How can I accept any fee from a maestro like Subhash ji whom I respect the most in the industry. He isn’t only a great filmmaker, but also a great human being. I always learn while working with him… We all just love him.”

Shiamak claims that working on Taal and Kisna ensued in some wonderful moments and great bonding with the Showman. Looks like it all ‘paid off’, huh

Despite rumours of a rift, hot couple Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif will be asserting their romance by throwing a birthday party for Kats  in Ooty where she is shooting for a new movie.

 Salman Khan is flying down fro Mumbai to be with his ladylove Kats in Ooty as she celebrates her birthday on July 16th. This should probably rest the tongues wagging about their alleged break up.

Katrina Kaif is shooting in Ooty for Rajkumar Santoshi’s Ajab Prem ki Gazab Kahani opposite Ranbhir Kapoor.

Salman and Katrina have been making public appearances recently as a lovey dovey couple as rumours of all kinds are floating in the air. So Salman wants to make her birthday extra special.

“Salman wants to make it a very special day for Katrina and definitely has plans to take his day off and visit Katrina who will be busy shooting in Ooty,” says a source. “He will be there for a day…probably since he too is busy with his schedules.”

Rumours of the Sallu-Kat break-up had spiraled when there were repeated reports that Salman did not like Katrina pairing up with Akshay Kumar due to their sizzling on-screen chemistry.

Then came rumours that Salman had actually broken up with Kats  and was in fact dating super hot model Bruna Abdullah, whom he had cast in his home production Veer being directed by Anil Sharma (director of Gadar and Apne).

But at the release of the music of Katrina’s pic, Singh is Kinng, Salman did the honors while Akshay kept away. Seems all is well in Paradise.

Hollywood is actually crazy about war movies! Many wars, such as Vietnam, have produced hugely popular films such as The Deer Hunter, Apocalypse Now, Coming Home, Platoon,Born On The Fourth Of July, all of them Oscar winners. Hollywood film makers use modern technology to produce war sequences making audiences feel they are actually surrounded by machine guns, tanks, airplanes, submarines and chemical weapons. Here in India, no one has yet dared to make a war movie like in Hollywood.

But reports say that Malayalam director Major Ravi’s Kurukshetra, starring Mohanlal in the lead, will feature three war sequences, constituting one-third of the movie! Wow!

The movie, based on the real story of the Kargil war between India and Pakistan that took place between May and July 1999 in Kashmir, will also feature real war practice sessions of the Indian Army. This is for the first time a Malayalam movie is getting permission to shoot the actual practice sessions of the Indian Army. The movie will be completed in a single schedule of 35 days in the original locales.

Mohanlal will appear as Colonel Mahadevan, who is all determined to get back the land grabbed by Pakistani soldiers in the Kargil valley. Kannada star Taniya Singh is the heroine. Kurukshetra, produced by Damor Films with a budget of seven crores, is Major Ravi’s third venture after the immensely successful Keerthi Chakra and critically acclaimed

Versatile Malayalam actor Mohanlal will be working in a full fledged international film based on the life and times of Nair-San (1905 – 1990), a man of Indian origin (a Tamil father and a Malayalee mother) but who lived his life mostly in Japan. Though in Japan, he was actively involved in the freedom struggle against imperialistic Great Britain. His cause was not just limited to India but also for many other parts of Asia.

Nair-San will be brought to life on the silver screen by Albert, an aluminous of the Film and Television Institute in Chennai. Committed to serious cinema, Albert is the recipient of three Kerala state awards.

Says Albert, ‘My fascination for Nair-San made me come up with a script and found many interested people in Japan. I thought one vital character of the film would suit Jackie Chan and sent the script to his office. Jackie Chan evinced his interest within a week for the cameo role and also volunteered to choreograph an action sequence’.

Playing Nair-San has caught the imagination of Mohanlal and has given a 125-day call sheet to the director. An excited Mohanlal said, ‘My father had told me about Nair-San and I liked the person a lot. I was also told that he used to stay in Poojapura, the same area I stay in Thiruvananthapuram’.

The film is to be produced by Morpheus Media Ventures Private Ltd., and A. R. Rahman is expected to score the background score.

The film will be shot extensively in Japan, Inner Mongolia and a few scenes in India
