Salman Khan absent from Kick's poster

Launching the poster of Salman Khan's films is never a simple affair. If the star invited fans to design the first look of his last film Jai Ho, fans took it upon themselves to do the artwork for his next one Kick. Such was the pressure by Salman's legion of fans that director Sajid Nadiadwala brought forward the date of poster's release to June 15.

And now, we get to see a sneak peek of Kick's poster. The edgy poster has a mask which will remind you of Hrithik Roshan's Krrish. Salman's face, always a huge draw for his fans, is absent from the poster.

This has led to buzz that Salman may play a superhero in this one. Given the fact that Salman manages superhero antics even when he plays an aam aadmi (Jai Ho), him as a superhero will be truly spectacular!

Reports have said that the film will have some great action scenes and an international team has been called in to work on them. Salman is micro-managing every detail of the film.

The film also stars Jacqueline Fernandez and Randeep Hooda. The film has been scripted by Chetan Bhagat.

Is Salman Khan still protective about ex-girlfriend Katrina Kaif?

The Dhoom:3 heroine and Jai Ho actor might not be a couple anymore, but they definitely share a bond even today

Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif’s relationship has been the fodder for gossip mills for very long. This couple parted amicably. Sallu in an interview had assured that Katrina and he ‘were friends, are friends and will be friends forever’, so we are not surprised when we spot this duo share a comfortable hug and chat when they bump into each other unlike other ex-couples in Bollywood. Recently when Karan Johar rated Ms Kaif low on honesty, the Kick hero was out there to vouch for her.

Karan Johar might have grilled many superstars on his hit chat show Koffee with Karan 4, so SK decided to interrogate the host himself. Unlike KJo who lets his stars answer candidly, Mr Khan decided to cross-question Johar’s answers. Especially when he insisted that Karan rate Kat high on the honesty meter. We’re sure the Dabangg dude must have surprised the audience, fans and Karan but not Katrina.

When the Bang Bang actor was asked about this episode, the actor said, “We should always respect what Salman says.” Well, we wonder what Kat’s beau Ranbir Kapoor has to say to this. BollywoodLifers, do you think Salman Khan still nurtures a soft corner for Katrina Kaif?

Jai ho box office collections fall short of Rs 100-cr mark, Salman Khan behind Dhoom 3

conntrary to all expectations, Jai Ho box office collections have not yet passed the first hurdle of Rs 100 crore mark domestically and it has been almost a week since the film hit the silver screen.

'Jai Ho' has been 'manfully' trying scale the peak achieved by Aamir Khan's history-creating Dhoom 3, which bagged in excess of Rs 530 crore, but to no avail.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh, who has been tweeting about Jai ho's day-to-day box office collections, said the movie is yet to enter the Rs 100 crore mark (domestic business), which is unlike any Salman Khan movie released in the past 3-4 years.

As of Tuesday, Jai Ho box office collections were Rs 77.48 crore nett (India biz only). The movie did a business of Rs 60.68 crore over the business followed by Rs 9.50 crore on Monday and Rs 7.30 crore on Tuesday.

“#JaiHo Wknd 60.68 cr, Mon 9.50 cr, Tue 7.30 cr. Total: ₹ 77.48 cr nett. India biz only,” Adarsh had tweeted on Wednesday.

Salman Khan's latest has, however, just managed to enter the elite Rs 100 club if worldwide collections are taken into account. As far as overseas box office collections are concerned, 'Jai Ho' box office collections till Monday had been $3.55 mn (Rs 22.36 cr).

‘Jai Ho’ collected a 'meager' Rs 17.75 crore on its opening day. Though the film's business did pick up on January 26 and collected Rs 26 crore, it was unable to sustain it the next day. Aamir Khan-starrer Dhoom 3 has the highest opening day domestic box office collections of Rs 36.22 crore.

Salman Khan, who had earlier taken the blame for the debacle of ‘Jai Ho’, took to Twitter to thank fans for their support.

But industry sources quote Jai Ho figures as 'respectable' though not 'hot', as January usually is a slow start for all businesses in overseas markets owing to the extended holiday winter break in western countries.

According to film trade analysts Komal Nehta Jai Ho has already made a profit of Rs 100 core. "For all those asking, Salman and Sohail have made Rs 100 crore profit in JAI
