Aamir as Saying "Yes, I got to know about the patch-up. In fact they didn't let me sleep the entire night."

Aamir has earlier attempted to broker peace between the feuding Khans. And now that the patch-up has finally happened, there was no getting away for Aamir from the post-reunion celebration.
According to the report all the three Khans face-timed at 2:30 am.
In the same report, Aamir said, "Around 1:30 am they first called me and informed about it, then around 2:30 am we did a face-time call. So this went around till early morning and they kept me awake."
According to reports, Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan patched up few days back at Arpita Khan's pre-wedding ceremony after Salman went and personally invited him to the wedding. The picture where the two of them shared a bhai moment and were seen kissing Arpita went viral.
Reports also suggest that SRK who dropped by to bless the bride-to-be had a discussion with Salman and cleared all their previous differences.
Six years back, SRK and Salman had a major fallout at Katrina Kaif's birthday. Five years later, the duo made former MLA Baba Siddique's Iftar party famous by hugging each other, two years in a row.
It seems, they won't need an Iftar party to do that this year.

Salman Khan nominates Rajinikanth for Narendra Modi’s campaign

We reported earlier that when Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the Swacch Bharat movement on Gandhi Jayanti (October 2), he nominated Kamal Haasan, but failed to nominate Rajinikanth. Modi also nominated Salman Khan, who, in turn, nominated Rajinikanth recently. 

Getting into the festive spirit during Diwali, Salman took to social media to inspire his fans to join the campaign which is aimed at keeping the country clean. Besides nominating his fans, he nominated politicians, businessmen and actors, including Rajinikanth.

Salman's post read, "I nominate the following for Swachh Bharat campaign and request them to further nominate 9 more people. First, I nominate my fans on Facebook and followers on Twitter. Each one of us can make a difference. And I nominate Aamir Khan, Azim Premji, Chanda Kochhar, Omar Abdullah, Pradeep Dhoot, Rajat Sharma, Rajinikanth & Vineet Jain."

PK team plans to hold special screening for Sanjay Dutt

The crew of upcoming film 'PK' is planning a special screening for the film's pivotal actor Sanjay Dutt, who is currently in the Yerwada jail. Aamir Khan along with film's director RajKumar Hirani and female lead Anushka Sharma unveiled the film's first trailer last evening here.

Asked if the team is holding any special screening for Dutt, Aamir said, "We are planning to write a letter to the authority if we can screen the film for Sanjay Dutt and all the people there. So he can watch the film." Dutt, 55, shot for his portions in the comedy-drama before going to the jail last year to serve his remaining term in the 1993 bomb blast case.

In the third motion poster of 'PK', which was released last month, Dutt was introduced in a bandmaster avatar, while Aamir sported an ill-fitted khakhi uniform.

Aamir Khan unveiled the teaser of his forthcoming film "PK" on Diwali Thursday and the superstar hopes the movie tastes success.

"Coincidently my films have been releasing during Christmas and each year, I have been showing the trailer during Diwali. So, we decided to do the same this Diwali as well. I hope the film works for us," Aamir told reporters here during the teaser launch of "PK".

He previously tasted box office successes with "Taare Zameen Par", "Ghajini" and "3 Idiots", which all came out during Christmas.

"I am not used to eating paan, but for this film I have eaten as many as 50 to 60 paans in a day because of my character. We used to have a paanwala on the sets," he said.


The film also stars Anushka Sharma and Sushant Singh Rajput.

Talking about the film, Aamir said: "Like Raj Kumar's other films even this film will have a strong message. This is the toughest role of my career. I have hardly blinked in this film because of my character".

"I can't reveal much as the crux of the story will get revealed. There are lot of rumours. People feel that I am playing a double role, some feel I am playing an alien but wait till the film releases," he added.

Salman Khan's 'Kick' box office collections break Shah Rukh Khan stranglehold on all-time No 3 spot

That there is still some power left in Salman Khan's 'Kick' box office collections is clear from the fact that there is a steady flow of money over the third week too.

Salman Khan's 'Kick' box office collections have achieved yet another milestone!

Sajid Nadiadwala's directorial debut film, which has become box office collections highest grosser of 2014, has now beaten Shah Rukh Khan-starrer 'Chennai Express' (Rs 227.13 crore) record to become the third highest grosser of all time.

Interestingly, 'Chennai Express' recorded a stunning Rs 100.42 crore opening weekend as compared to Kick's earning of Rs 83.73 crore. But subsequent weeks and weekends saw 'Kick' taking the lead over the business of the SRK movie.

That there is still some power left in Salman Khan's 'Kick' box office collections is clear from the fact that there is a steady flow of money over the third week too.

The Salman Khan-starrer collected Rs 1.35 crore on Tuesday and Rs 1.10 crore on Wednesday, capping its domestic collections at Rs 228.08 crore in 20 days. The film had generated Rs 164.09 crore in Week 1 and Rs 51.02 crore in Week 2. While 'Kick' entered the Rs 100 core club on Day 5, it reached the Rs 200 crore mark on the 11th day.

The collections for Week 3, pegged by trade analyst Taran Adarsh, stand at: Friday Rs 1.97 crore, Saturday Rs 2.94 crore, Sunday Rs 3.92 crore, Monday Rs 1.69 crore and Tuesday Rs 1.35 crore with a grand total of Rs 226.98 crore (India).

Adarsh has also declared the film as all-time blockbuster.

Some more records are likely to fall in the near future because of never-say-die performance of 'Kick'. As far as domestic market is concerned, 'Kick' will need to add Rs 16.85 crore more to its kitty to go ahead of Hrithik Roshan's 'Krrish 3' box office collections record and Rs 56.20 crore to challenge the biggest move of them all in Bollywood, Aamir Khan-starrer 'Dhoom 3' - the going will get tough on Friday with the Independence Day (August 15) release of Ajay Devgn's 'Singham Returns', but 'Kick' is still in the running for Bollywood box office pinnacle.

‘Kick’ is produced by the Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment banner. The film is a remake of Telugu film of the same name, with a screenplay adapted by Nadiadwala and Chetan Bhagat.

'Kick' is still performing good at multiplexes

Nude Bollywood movie posters, view pics

After Sunny Leone, Poonam Pandey, Sherlyn Chopra and others, Aamir Khan joind the club of actors who stripped on movie posters. Aamir Khan’s nude poster for PK. Well movie is scheduled for release in December this year, but the nude poster of Aamir has already creating lots of buzz. Here are the some movie posters in which actors shed off their cloths.

Sunny Leone poses nude for the official poster of Ragini MMS2. The hot poster of Sunny leone forced moviegoers to watch the movie and make it first hit for former adult star.

Wrapped in a white wet saree, Sunny Leone looks sizzling hot on Jism2 poster.

Sherlyn Chopra gives hot pose for erotica movie Kamasutra 3D.

Kapil Sharma and Yuvraaj Parashar -- raised quite a storm. Dunno Y…Na Jaane Kyon revolves around an aspiring gay model working as a gigolo to get around.

Will Aamir Khan's 'PK' break 'Dhoom 3's' record?

As the famous adage goes- There is no such thing as bad publicity and Bollywood's perfectionist Aamir Khan knows it very well. His upcoming movie 'PK' has garnered enough publicity to generate curiosity among the moviegoers. The clever marketing strategy to standout in the crowd can only be Aamir Khan's idea.

Firstly, the actor got the tongues wagging with the 'PK' poster, in which the actor posed almost in the buff with a radio strategically placed to hide his modesty. And as if the Indian audience couldn't get enough of Aamir Khan's naked body, there also came a news that his poster is a rip-off of Quim Barreiros' poster. We guess that this is just the tip of the iceberg and there's a lot more to be seen until the movie releases on December 19.

Aamir Khan's last movie 'Dhoom 3' had broken all box-office records and entered the 500 crore club, thereby becoming one of its kind to have profited so much. And looking at the strategies made by the perfectionist, we guess his movie 'PK' will definitely break all records and even earn more than 'Dhoom 3'.

Aamir Khan's PK talking standee removed from theatres

After Aamir Khan created a huge uproar appearing in the buff in the recently released poster of 'PK', he followed it up by churning out another marketing genius of sorts! Aamir also had some talking standees of his 'PK' avatar installed in the theatres which spoke back to people whenever they came close to the standee.

Now, it is heard that Gaiety-Galazy theatres had been asked to remove the posters after a group of women complained to the police about the poster. The poster, deemed as 'vulgar' and 'obscene' by the group was asked to be removed from the theatres. 

The policemen asked Manoj Desai, the theatre owner to remove the standee, to which he kindly obliged because he did not want any further hassles. When asked Desai about the incident, he felt that such posters were bound to raise eyebrows and he did not understand why an actor of Aamir's stature would boil down to such cheap publicity measures. 

Few days back, it was reported that Aamir's 'PK' poster was copied. But the bottom line is, Aamir and team has got what they sought out for. Love or hate it, you simply cannot ignore the 'PK' poster and that's definitely what was on Aamir's agenda, we guess!

These Gujarati, Bhojpuri, Marathi, Telugu and Tamil Versions of Aamir Khan's Hindi Songs Are Beyond Epic

Since Aamir Khan is trending thanks to the nearly-naked poster from Rajkumar Hirani's PK, we decided to dig up some of the most amazing videos ever to keep Aamir fans happily entertained. What we found confirmed that the internet is truly a goldmine. 

Once you hear these popular Aamir Khan songs dubbed in Gujarati, Bhojpuri, Marathi, Tamil and Telugu, the original versions may never seem as much fun again. You've been warned. 

1. First up is Khambe Jaisi Khadi Hai from the Madhuri Dixit-Aamir Khan starrer Dil in *drumroll* Gujarati. Not sure about you, but this is definitely the best thing we've heard all week.

2. Bhojpuri is always fun and when you bring Perfectionist Khan into the picture, it becomes even more amazing. Presenting the evergreen Tu Pyar Hai Kisi Aur Ka from Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin in Bhojpuri. The epic-ness of it all is just too much to handle.

3. Aamir Khan's super-duper hit Aati Kya Khandala in Marathi. Just WHAT more do you want in life?

4. Ram Gopal Varma's Rangeela becomes Rangeli and Kya Kare Kya Na Kare becomes Emi cheyyavachu.  This Telugu version will make your heart pound for the magical Rangeela stars, Aamir and Urmila 

5. Aamir's anti-hero act in Dhoom 3 made waves all across the world except in the hearts and minds of film critics. But this, this utterly brilliant Tamil version of the title track would make even the harshest critic melt. Not kidding. Just listen: 

Which version do you love best?

PK poster: Here are five posers for the very naked Aamir Khan

Bollywood, rejoice! You're finally an adult. Though we can't promise that you've gotten our hearts aflutter with your coming-of-age, but Aamir Khan definitely deserves a hat tip for having dared to appear almost in the buff.

The actor deserves extra credit for going ahead with the photo-shoot because he's not the one you'd think of first when you think of actors with an aversion to pants. He looks alarmed, the kind of alarm you'd expect to see on Rahul Gandhi's face if someone told him he has won an election. Or on Yo Yo Honey Singh's face if you asked him to write two sentences without references to girls, booze or a party in them. Or on Poonam Pandey's face if you told her Twitter's going to shut down.

So here are a few questions that cross our mind after Khan uncovered himself for our benefit on Twitter.

1. Will Veet consider replacing Katrina Kaif with Aamir Khan in its commercials? You could still maybe spot a hair on Prem Chopra's head, but on Aamir Khan in this poster? No way! If that's not evidence of fabulous hair-removal machinery at work, we don't know what is.

Which also brings us to the question of metro-sexuality. Given that Khan is seen in a (slightly dangerous) public space like on train tracks, will he paunch-shame Indian men to never appear in public until they have a bundle of muscles for a body? That's sure going to be one big public-funded first step for the beautification of public spaces in the country. Given our skewed gender balance, we're sure it'd be a successful one too.

2. Directed by Rajkumar Hirani, the film promises to be a "satire on Hindu gods and their godmen", which raises the obvious next question: will Aamir Khan be chased out of Twitter? Or will Dinanath Batra demand Bollywood and Aamir Khan be included in the list of India's greatest ailment in school textbooks, alongside malaria?

Since sections of the country were up in arms against a Sunny Leone poster from Jism 2 and Ramlila Maidan's romance with Arvind Kejriwal is almost over, will we see the birth of a new breed of slogan-chanters, thanks to naked Aamir Khan who intends to take on Hindu godmen? Also, as we are on issue of Hindu godmen, will Baba Ramdev now think twice before flashing his armpits as a traumatised country watches in horror. Though chances are he will offer an ayurvedic pill to boost the immunity of body hair to Khan, we can still afford to be a little optimistic, right?

3. Will Khan pull a Ranbir Kapoor and completely dethrone the latter's butt from its hitherto un-threatened pedestal? Kapoor could have remained as only as memorable as Amisha Patel, given how well Sawaariyaa did at the box-offices. However, it was the promise of his posterior behind a towel that kept him afloat in public memory and saw him through to his next film. The rest is history. You cannot also blame Kapoor for not rewarding loyalists. In Besharam (2013), Kapoor  awarded a glimpse of his butt-crack for full five seconds, making sure his butt glory remains intact.

The question is, will Aamir Khan finally manage to do the impossible? Or will only the rail tracks visible on the poster know who won the butt battle between Kapoor and Khan?

4. And then, will the transistor find new takers? Given the length (no pun intended) it has gone to in order to stage a comeback, it definitely deserves a second lease of life.

5. Finally, after PK, will Aamir Khan promise to cover up? For good, that is. Will he realise that he has had enough of enjoying his right to strip in a democracy and take pity on us watchers? Because that bust (and we deliberately call it a bust), is fast on its way to replace Rekha's wig from Khoon Bhari Maang as the weirdest thing to have ever struck Bollywood.

Shell out a little more for Salman Khan's Kick

Every Salman Khan fan is waiting for this Friday when Kick will hit the theatres. But there is a bad news for the audiences who are planning to watch the film.

It is being said that the cost of tickets for Kick will go up by 15 to 20 percent. There is a trend nowadays of hiking the ticket prices for big ticket films and then Kick is a festive release with Eid around the corner. So exhibitors are aiming to gain from the hype.

Releasing on 25th July, Kick also stars Jacqueline Fernandez, Randeep Hooda and Nawazuddin Siddiqui.

As per the buzz ticket prices for the morning shows may not go up.

In the past, films like Salman Khan's Ek Tha Tiger, Shah Rukh Khan's Jab Tak Hai Jaan and Chennai Express, Ajay Devgn's Son Of Sardaar, and Aamir Khan's Talaash and Dhoom 3 have seen higher ticket prices.

Releasing on 25th July, Kick also stars Jacqueline Fernandez, Randeep Hooda and Nawazuddin Siddiqui.

Hrithik Roshan to Salman Khan: Bollywood actors who are second choices

As Hrithik Roshan gears up to play the lead in Ashutosh Gowariker’s next, based on the Indus Valley civilisation (in a film called Mohenjo-Daro), not many know that Sushant Singh Rajput had been in talks for the same role. 

But even as Hrithik takes over from Sushant, the latter, coincidentally, is set to star in Shekhar Kapur’s next – Paani – a futuristic project set in Mumbai – which was earlier supposed to feature Hrithik in the lead. 

"Originally, Gowariker had offered the film to Hrithik. In between, when it seemed like the actor wouldn’t be able to take it up, he was in talks with Sushant," says an insider. 

On being contacted, Gowariker says, "Hrithik has always been the first choice. Clearly, Mohenjo Daro was destined to be made with him, as three years later, we are ready to begin shoot." 

Meanwhile, Sushant says (via a text response), "All I know is that I’m a part of Paani next, and wouldn’t like to comment on any other project." 

However, this isn’t the only coincidence. Ranveer Singh and Ranbir Kapoor were in a similar situation last year. Ranveer was the first choice for Anurag Kashyap’s  Bombay Velvet; when he couldn’t take it up (due to date issues), Ranbir was signed. Again, after Ranbir opted out of Zoya Akhtar’s Dil Dhadakne Do, Ranveer replaced him. 

Ranveer, on being contacted, says, "After the film is made, no one cares who it was offered to [first]. Such things become irrelevant very fast. For me, it has absolutely no significance. It didn’t matter to me what the history of the casting was."Did you know.

Dibakar Banerjee and Sushant Singh Rajput have announced their upcoming film Detective Byomkesh Bakshy. Browse through and checkout the men in Kolkata. 

Aamir Khan turned down Darr (1993), which was later done by Shah Rukh Khan. Years later, SRK said no to Lagaan (2001) and 3 Idiots (2009), which were taken up by Aamir.

Salman Khan was offered Baazigar (1993) and later Chak De! India (2007). Both were taken up by Shah Rukh Khan. 

Later, Shah Rukh Khan was offered Ek Tha Tiger (2012), which eventually starred Salman. 

Rumours suggest that Katrina Kaif turned down Chennai Express (2013) and Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (2013), both of which went to Deepika Padukone. 

Again, Deepika Padukone was apparently the first choice for Jab Tak Hai Jaan (2012) and Dhoom:3 (2013), which eventually featured Katrina.

Why Award Show-Shy Aamir Khan Made an Exception for the Parivaar

Aamir is currently working on the third season of Satyamev Jayate. 

Bollywood star Aamir Khan, who chooses to give a miss to film award functions, decided to turn up for the Star Parivaar Awards event here recently. The host of Satyamev Jayate said the small screen medium is vital to him.

He is currently working on the third season of Satyamev Jayate, via which he raises important social issues of the country. 

"We are currently working on the third season of Satyamev Jayate. We are researching on the topics and it is going good," the 48-year-old said. 

What brought him to the Star Parivaar Awards held here on Sunday? 

"I have been working with Star for many months and when they invited me, I was happy to come," he added.

Satyamev Jayate season one went on air on Star Plus on May 2012 while the second season was aired in March 2014 and ended in April. 

The Star Parivaar Awards will telecast on June 29.

Anees Bazmee avoids clash with Rajkumar Hirani, Aamir Khan

‘Welcome Back’ will not be released on the same day as ‘P.K.

Anees Bazmee’s Welcome Back was originally scheduled for a release in India on December 19. It will now no longer be released on that date as Rajkumar Hirani’s Aamir Khan-starrer P.K. is releasing on the same day.

Bazmee is not interested in creating unnecessary competition. “My producer Feroz Nadiadwala wants us to stick to our December 19 release date. But I see no point in a box office tussle. I’m going to convince him to opt for another release window,” he said.

It isn’t as though Bazmee is not confident of his film. “I’ve my own audience. But why get into an unnecessary tussle at the box office? It is bound to damage one or the other film. I’d rather wait for another opportune Friday.”

“Raju Hirani is a very fine writer and director. On top of that, he is back with his 3 Idiots leading man Aamir Khan. So there’s bound to be fireworks at the box office. Why take the risk of getting burnt?”

The director is currently recording an additional song for the film which he will film in due time when the film’s cast — from Anil Kapoor and John Abraham to Naseeruddin Shah and Nana Patekar — is available.

“I am in no hurry. I have no ambition to create a dhamaka [blast] for Christmas. Any Friday will work as long as another big film is not lined up for the same day,” he said.

Cannes Loves the Khans, Maybe Even More Than Aishwarya

Kick, Happy New Year and Peekay were the top picks for Indian film buyers at Cannes 

Aishwarya Rai may be the star attraction at the red carpet, but it was three top notch Bollywood Khans -- Shah Rukh, Aamir and Salman - who dominated the film market at the ongoing 67th Cannes International Film Festival with buyers queuing up for their forthcoming films. 

SRK's Happy New Year, directed by Farah Khan and co-produced by Gauri Khan and Karim Morani, presented by Yash Raj Films; director Rajkumar Hirani's Peekay, which stars Aamir Khan in the lead and Sajid Nadiadwala's Salman-starrer directorial debut Kick, presented by Disney India-UTV and a few biopics were favourites with buyers and sales agents at the Cannes Film Market. 

These 'Khan' films are being readied for release in the last quarter of the year. 

Having said that, it is India's lone entry Titli, directed by Kanu Behl and produced by Dibabkar Banerjee, in the official Un Certain Regard Section, which is the talking point and also a top contender for the Palme d'Or this year. (Also Read: Titli Stems from Personal Experiences of Makers)

Anurag Kashyap, a festival favourite, did not make it to the festival, but his new film Bombay Velvet, which has Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma and Karan Johar in the lead roles, received a positive response for Fox Star Studios India. 

Besides the biggies, small production companies from India too managed to get a tight grip on the Cannes Film Market with the launch of a dozen new completed films and a few fresh production announcements. 

"It is a different India now than what I saw six to seven years back," said Hollywood-based Indian producer Ashok Amritraj, chairman, Hyde Park Entertainment. 

"The new Indian filmmakers have changed the face of Indian cinema and its global footprint," he added. 

The endeavours of Indian filmmakers also grabbed the attention of Bobby Bedi, managing director, Kaleidoscope Entertainment, a regular at the festival for over a decade, and he couldn't stop himself from saying a few good words for the new brigade of filmmakers. 

"This year the Indian producers and directors were very focused and matured than ever before," said Bedi, who announced his debut project as a director, Lajo, a big screen adaptation of Ismat Chugtai's short story, which was extremely controversial for its time. 

Lajo will be produced by T P Aggarwal of Star Entertainment Worldwide. Earlier, Mani Ratnam was supposed to helm Lajo with Aamir Khan in the lead role but it did not take off. 

Interestingly, biopics from India were also one of the attractions at the Cannes gala, the world's biggest gathering of film professionals from over 100 countries, in South of France.

Nanak Shah Fakir, a film produced by Harinder Sikka on the life and teachings of Guru Nanak, drew attention for its special effects and songs. 

"We have completed the film and we are confident that it will have a global impact because of the subject," said Sikka, who is corporate affairs director at Piramal Group, adding that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will launch the film in the US in July.

Initially, Oscar winner Resul Pookutty got involved with the project as a sound designer, but later he associated himself with Nanak Shah Fakir as a co-producer. For four days he pitched the film at the fest and made it a talking point. 

Mumbai-based Kriya Films launched their finished feature film The Answer, which tells the story of James Donald Walters, who became Swami Kriyananda, a disciple of Paramhamsa Yogananda who penned Autobiography of a Yogi.

"It is an epic motion picture that presents for the first time on the cinematic screen one of the most widely known and revered spiritual masters of our times - Paramhamsa Yogananda - in his own words through his direct disciple Swami Kriyananda," said producer Kaveeta Oberoi Kaul.

The Answer and Nanak Shah Fakir have aggressively positioned a new era of filmmaking from India at Cannes. European producer Pierre Assouline, who had produced and scripted Shaji Karun's Vanaprastham (1999), pitched his new biopic on Sant Tukaram.

From the commercial section, Viacom18 Motion Pictures aggressively pitched for Omung Kumar directed biopic Mary Kom and Shonali Bose's Margarita, With a Straw. While Priyanka Chopra plays the Olympic medallist in the former, the latter will see Kalki Koechlin as a girl suffering from cerebral palsy.

Yash Raj Films too presented its entire slate of films for international sales and distribution.

Overall, a good year for Indian films, at least at the Cannes Film Market.

Aamir Khan on Satyamev Jayate: I earn less but feel enriched touching lives

Superstar Aamir Khan, who is currently busy with his TV show Satyamev Jayate says that his monetary earnings from the programme are less but he is enriched by the experience of meeting different people.

There were reports that Aamir was not charging anything for the show but the actor said, "I do take money for the show. I think I should take money for the work I do. I used to earn more money through ads but I don't do much ads now. If I look at it financially and commercially, then I am earning Less. But my earning is more in another way, like meeting people from various walks of life, touching their lives. I feel enriched," Aamir told reporters. 

Satyamev Jayate has been one of the most influential television shows in the recent times. The first season saw Aamir raising some sensitive topics like female foeticide, child sexual abuse, medical malpractice, dowry system, love marriages and honour killings among others. 

In the second season, which kicked off on March 2, issues like rape and police reforms were raised. 

The actor, however, did not elaborate on the subjects, which would be highlighted in the upcoming episodes. 

On ensuing polls, he said, "I will come forward for an Issue, but I will not campaign or support any party or person. I know people in politics. I don't want to influence anyone. I think youngsters should vote. Think and vote." 

In the past, Aamir did support social activist Anna Hazare when he was fighting for corruption. 

On AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal, Aamir said, "It is a new party let's see what kind of work they do. I don't want to comment on them right now." 

His good friend Salman Khan too would be seen in a social show Mission Sapne, where the celebrity would be leading the life of a common man for a day and give the earnings to them (common people). 

"I am very happy Salman is doing this kind of a show. I wish more people from industry come and support it (social issues)," Aamir said.

Salman Khan Turns Endorser For Subhash Ghai’s Kaanchi

Known to promote and market his friend’s films, bollywood Superstar Salman Khan has taken it upon himself now to help promote Subhash Ghai’s upcoming film, Kaanchi.

Last December, Salman took to aggressively promoting his friend Aamir Khan’s action flick Dhoom 3, using the platform of the reality TV show, he hosts, Bigg Boss, to the maximum. In March, Salman has now turned to another friend, Subhash Ghai, and is helping promote his film.

Salman “Bhai” took to social networking site twitter last night, in order to spread the word about Kaanchi. Starring debutantes Mishti and Karthik Aryan, Kaanchi is Subhash Ghai’s return to cinema, after a hiatus of nearly five years. His last film, Yuvraaj, starring Salman in the lead, unfortunately bombed at the Box Office.

Salman Khan posted on twitter, after watching and allegedly loving the trailer of Ghai’s upcoming film: “Saw the promo of Kaanchi? Quiet nice na? Happy for Subhash Ghai, its beautifully shot, hope it does well. Best of luck Subhash Ghai.”

In the meanwhile, Subhash Ghai released the much awaited Kaanchi Anthem for the film. The song has been shot in rural localities and it exhibits the fearless and cheerful life of the lead character Kaanchi,  in her village.

With vocals by Sukhwinder and lyrics penned by Irshad Kamil, the song wonderfully captures Mishti’s charisma and composer Ismail Darbar’s soulful music.

Kaanchi is directed by Subhash Ghai and is slated to release on April 25, 2014. Kaanchi also features Rishi Kapoor, Mithun Chakraborty, Chandan Roy Sanyal and Rishabh Sinha in pivotal roles.

Well, we certainly hope that Salman Khan’s fans all heed his advice, and turn up for Kaanchi, making it a huge success indeed at the Box Office.

Ranbir Kapoor, Katrina Kaif: The whole ‘love story’

Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif arrived together for a special screening of 'Ship of Theseus'.

Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif have been the talk of the town for one entire year with people speculating about their relationship. However, the duo have always kept the media guessing their equation. And before anybody could even confirm the couple happily dating, talks of trouble in paradise started doing the rounds and the two were spotted arriving separately for Aamir Khan’s bash on Thursday (January 30) evening.

For the whole of 2013, neither Ranbir Kapoor nor Katrina Kaif admitted or denied a romantic involvement. But then they did make public appearances together, sending a not-so-subtle message about their special friendship.

The couple arrived together for a special screening of ‘Ship of Theseus’ and the Diwali bash at Amitabh Bachchan’s residence last year also saw Katrina in high spirits with her beau.

Pictures of Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif holidaying together in Spain were splashed all over. The couple was snapped enjoying a day at the beach together in their swimwear last year. The incident set a lot of tongues wagging and the duo realised there was no good in denying anything anymore, with pictures speaking a thousand words.

After that, Ranbir and Katrina have been spotted together at many late-night filmi dos. They finally made a joint appearance at the screening of ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ and looked quite comfortable together amidst the cameras.

Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif were known to have brought in 2014 together in New York. But, things turned sour when the couple apparently had a spat, following which they returned separately from their holiday.

Ranbir Kapoor was recently spotted at UTV’s Siddharth Roy Kapur’s residence sans Katrina.

Looks like their lover’s tiff is very much still on with the duo making separate entrances at Aamir Khan’s recent bash. Reports suggest that during their film Jagga Jasoos”s current schedule the two are not on talking terms and refrain from spending time with each other, choosing instead to stay in their respective vanity vans.

Hopefully, Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif sort out their issues.
