Salman Khan planning a sports film?

A couple of months back, Bollywood superstar Salman Khan showed his keen interest to support and/or produce a film inspired by sports while unveiling the music of a sports-based film KHWAABB. And now it seems, Salman is all set to fulfill his desire!

We hear that our style bhai is planning to do a film based on sports, which probably will be directed by his good friend actor-director Puneet Issar. Puneet had directed Salman in 2004 film GARV - Pride And Honour.

The film will be written by Sanjeev Dutta, who penned for popular films like HEROPANTI, BARFI!, YAARIYAN, LIFE IN A METRO PAGE 3, KITES, in the past. "Yes, I just met Salman and he is planning to do a sports-based film." However, he refused to divulge anything further.

Well, if Salman is really contemplating the idea of doing a sports film, it would be a refreshing change and treat for his fans!

Salman Khan Is in Serious Trouble???

Salman Khan is a renowned and famous personality of the Bollywood film industry and is the son of Salim Khan. Salman Khan and his two brothers are all a part of the film industry and have carried on their father’s legacy successfully. Salman Khan has made immense contribution to the B-town through his unparalleled acting skills and he also has an impeccable record for charity contributions. However, in the year 2002, Salman Khan was charged with a ‘hit and run case’ when his car damaged a bakery and ran over 3 people. This case has landed Salman Khan in serious trouble, it seems.

All of the three victims, who were sleeping in the pavement at the time, were seriously injured, except one, who died on the spot. Salman Khan was arrested for rash driving and was charged with culpable homicide, but soon, the case was dropped. Later on, Khan was officially charged with culpable homicide in the year 2013, to which he had pleaded not guilty. The trial had begun around August 2013 and since then the case is still running in the court of law. Recently, that case has again come into the limelight due to the testimonies of several eye-witnesses. Most of them have categorically testified against the 48-year-old actor.

Salman Khan is considered to be in a serious trouble, especially when the witnesses have been able to identify him. The waiter who had served drinks to Salman and his friends on that night (when the incident took place in 2002), identified him being there, in a five star hotel. He recognized Salman and testified that the actor was present, along with his friends and even recalls serving them white rum and cocktails.

However, he is unable to remember whether the actor had actually consumed alcohol or not since there was not enough light in the establishment. It is believed that Salman’s brother, Sohail, was also there with him but had returned home much earlier. One of the 4 people who were injured, conveyed to the court, that his former lawyer (Mukesh Pandey) had offered him a bribe so that he would reverse his testimony with regard to the case.

Muslim Sheikh stated that he received a couple of phone calls, one of which was about the bribery amount, while he avoided receiving the other call. Later on, his former lawyer, Mr. Pandey said that Muslim Sheikh was lying and that he never offered him any amount of money whatsoever. Sheikh is the youngest eye-witness of the lot and was sixteen years of age when the mishap took place in the year of 2002. Since then, Sheikh has been staying in UP and comes to Mumbai only when the case is summoned.

Since 2002, the case is still on the grounds and does not seem to end. More so, the case seems to be intensifying each passing day. After being identified by the 4th witness, Salman Khan has really landed in serious trouble. The allegations of ‘threat calls’ and ‘bribery’ is adding more problems in the superstar’s kitty, while the case is unable to draw its required conclusion. The actor has his new movie, Kick, lined-up, which is scheduled to release in July 2014. The case trials seem to be definitely creating problems in Salman Khan’s personal life as well, as reported by the media.

Shahrukh Khan Salman Khan Rivalry: Dabangg Star Takes Over SRK's Favourite Release Date?

Doesn't look like the tense situation between Bollywood superstars and rivals Shahrukh Khan and Salman Khan will get any better in the near future.

As per recent reports, the warring Khans seem to be invading each other's regular release date space for their future films.

Over the years, both SRK and Salman's films have enjoyed a monopoly of sorts during the two big Indian festive periods – Diwali and Eid respectively. Their films seem to be planned and released accordingly.

However, this trend was broken by SRK in 2013 when he decided to release his film Chennai Express during the Eid holidays.

Now, it looks like the warring Khans are battling for the right dates as, according to Bollywood Life, Salman Khan has picked Diwali 2015 as the time of release for his upcoming film Prem Ratan Dhan Payo directed by Sooraj Barjatya.

"Now we wonder if SRK will bring in his movie 'Fan' around the same time to give tough competition to Salman Khan's film", states the BL report.

Fortunately however, the clash of dates will not be an issue in 2014. While SRK's next film, Happy New Year will be releasing around the Diwali season in October, Salman's upcoming movie, Kick, will hit theatres in July.

Salman Khan scores 16 million fans on Facebook

New Delhi: Salman Khan has a die-hard fan following and we can get an idea of his huge fan base through his official Facebook page, which has crossed 16 million likes.

While Salman has already left behind the other Khans in the fan following race on Facebook, it seems his followers are just increasing with leaps and bounds.

Salman Khan's fans are congratulating him for getting 16 million likes on Twitter and the actor is trending as #16MillionSalmaniacsOnFB.

Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan, Rajinikanth Invited to Narendra Modi's Swearing-In...

New Delhi: Film industry stalwarts Amitabh Bachchan, Rajinikanth, Salman Khan and veteran singer Lata Mangeshkar are in the list of those invited for the swearing-in ceremony of prime minister-designate Narendra Modi, BJP sources said.

They are part of a long list of 2,500 guests for the oath-taking ceremony, which will be held in the gravelled forecourt of Rashtrapati Bhavan on May 26.

All Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha MPs will be invited, which alone add up to 777. These MPs have been invited by Rashtrapati Bhavan. However they cannot bring their spouses, according to these sources.

Former presidents Pratibha Patil and APJ Abdul Kalam are also invited. Outgoing prime minister Manmohan Singh will be there along with some members of his cabinet. 

Mr Modi's mother Hiraben and his three brothers are also expected to attend the event, though it is not yet confirmed.

The incoming prime minister can invite upto 20 guests, while ministers who will be taking oath can bring upto four guests each.

A number of BJP leaders from Gujarat are also expected to arrive in Delhi for the function, scheduled to be held at 6 pm on Monday.

From the BJP's ideological mentor Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh or RSS, Suresh Soni is expected to attend the ceremony.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has been limited to 1,250 guests, while another 1,250 guests will be invited by the president. The party will also invite the chief ministers of all National Democratic Alliance (NDA) ruled states.

This is the first time leaders from SAARC nations have been invited for the oath-taking ceremony of an Indian prime minister. The external affairs ministry today said eight heads of state and government were invited and seven have confirmed, while a response from Pakistan was awaited.

Rashtrapati Bhavan will also show the ceremony live on its website.

Mr Modi will be the third Indian prime minister to take oath in the open forecourt instead of the ceremonial Ashoka Hall after Chandra Shekhar (1990) and Atal Bihari Vajpayee (1998).

Salman Khan's father invited to Narendra Modi's swearing-in ceremony

Salman Khan and Narendra Modi

Salim Khan was one of the few in the film industry to openly support Narendra Modi when some in the fraternity backed a campaign against the then prime ministerial candidate. Now Modi is set to be sworn in as PM and Salim is among the special invitees to his swearing-in ceremony that is scheduled for May 26 in Delhi. 

During the promotions of Jai Ho, Salim's star son Salman flew kites with Modi during the Uttarayan festival in Ahmedabad on January 14. Their meeting grabbed headlines.

Then, in April, Salim Khan launched Modi's official website in Urdu, at his Bandra residence. 

Thereafter, Salman and sister Alvira were invited to dine with the then Gujarat Chief Minister at his Gandhinagar home. 

When contacted, Salim told Mirror, "Yes, I have been invited to the swearing-in ceremony. Our friendship with Modi is not new. In the past, I wrote articles in a Hindi newspaper which were translated to Gujarati. Modi happened to read them. That is how our acquaintance began." Salim reveals that he had told Modi that there were far more renowned writers in Urdu who would be better qualified to launch his web site, but the latter insisted he do it. "His team visited my house on the appointed day and I did the needful. Following this, he invited Salman over for lunch. It was a nice gesture on his part."
