Salman Khan is known for his straight forward and plain speaking attitude. He never mince his words.

When Ashutosh Gowarikar approached Salman with a script, the actor very categorically told the filmmaker that he works for hits and movies that make money.

Salman also told Gowarikar that he does not work for awards.

Not just that Salman also told the director that his pace of working in a project is quite different than the gruelling timetable mantained by the filmmaker.

Gowariker reportedly approached Salman with the script thinking the mega-star would find it strikingly unorthodox.

Salman Khan's last four movies- 'Wanted', Dabangg', 'Ready' and 'Bodyguard' were all bumper hits. His movies crossed the magical mark of Rs100 crore profit.

Earlier Salman Khan was known for helping out distressed friends in trouble with movie projects, but bollywood.celebden reports he has now changed that stand.

However, Gowarikar deny approaching the actor but hopes to work with him in future.

 

Shah Rukh Khan-Kareena Kapoor back together

Kareena Kapoor has confirmed she will be the leading lady for Shah Rukh Khan yet again.

'Chennai Express' is a collaboration between Shah Rukh Khan and director Rohit Shetty.

Earlier speculations were rife that Katrina Kaif would star opposite SRK for the movie but Kareena put all of this to rest.

Kareena has been discussing the script with director Rohit Shetty and finalising the nitty gritty details. She admits that she is looking forward to work with Shetty again.

Rohit shares a good equation with Kareena after they worked together in the 2010 hit, 'Golmaal 3', he felt she would be a better fit for the firebrand role opposite SRK in 'Chennai Express'.

'Chennai Express' is a hard-core commercial film with a romantic angle. The story is about a man's travel from Mumbai to Rameshwaram and what happens during the journey. There is a lot of romance keeping Shah Rukh in mind but it will also be a typical Rohit Shetty film with cars blowing and lots of action.

Kareena has previously worked with SRK as his leading lady in 'Asoka' and 'Ra.One'.

Interestingly after 'Ra.One' Shah Rukh is all set to make the sequel of his ambitious sci-fi adventure. He has already commissioned a team of writers to pen down the script of the movie.

It is reported by India Today  that the 'Chammak-Challo' girl Kareena Kapoor is not going to be part of 'Ra.One' sequel.

So SRK will have to look for a new leady lady. Moreover team 'Ra.One' wasn't much thrilled with the amount of time Kareena gave to promote the movie proior to the release.

Kareena is also planning to get married in early 2012. She wants to give more time to marriage and accept lesser projects. Her reluctance to work or give priority to marriage may cost her 'Ra.One' 2.

 


Abhishek not in a mood to sing anymore

Rumours are rife that actor Abhishek Bachchan has scrapped plans of his much-awaited hip-hop album, 'Side B'.

He had planned to put out the album with music composer duo Vishal-Shekhar. But all that was to take place after the birth of his daughter.

However, there's a slight change of plan; Vishal Dadlani reportedly confirmed the news to Mid Day  that they are not going ahead with the album.

Abhishek Bachchan, Shekhar and Vishal, it seems have moved on from hip hop.

So as of now Bachchan Jr has scrapped his plans to release a Hip Hop album.

Abhishek Bachchan like his father Amitabh Bachchan doesn't mind lending his voice for songs in his movies.

'Right here right now' from the movie 'Bluffmaster!' was a hit, and so was 'Thayn Thayn' in 2011. Following the success of his first song, Abhishek Bachchan was all set to release a Hip Hop album with Vishal-Shekhar.

Titled 'Side B', the album was planned three years ago.

So for fans who wants to hear junior Bachchan sing will have to do with the songs from his movies as of now.
