Shahrukh Khan impressed with Salman Khan 'Dabangg's director!

Shahrukh Khan impressed with Salman Khan 'Dabangg's director!: Shahrukh Khan seems impressed with the director of Salman Khan’s blockbuster Dabangg. For he wants Abhinav Kashyap to direct a full-on masala entertainer for him.

At a recent award show, Shahrukh was seen doing Salman’s signature Dabangg dance on stage with Sonakshi Sinha. The superstar has loved Dabangg and now wants Kashyap for his home production. But there’s a hitch.

Kashyap is also committed to directing the sequel of Dabangg, which Salman wants to start soon to capitalize on the popularity of Chulbul Pandey. On the other hand, SRK has been having talks with Kashyap and has reportedly asked him to pen a script.

Which means the much-in-demand Kashyap is going to be torn between the two Khans.

Reports even suggest that Kashyap is more eager to work with SRK because he had his differences with Sallu during the making of Dabangg. Moreover, his fallout with Arbaaz Khan (producer of Dabangg) after the film’s super success has also strained their relationship, though the two have made up now.

Guess Kashyap will have to work overtime to keep both Salman and SRK happy.

'Dabangg's Music Director Sajid-Wajid gives award credit to Salman Khan

'Dabangg's Music Director Sajid-Wajid gives award credit to Salman Khan: The composer duo Sajid-Wajid are on cloud nine after winning a series of awards for their music in last year's blockbuster " Dabangg" and the two give credit to Salman Khan for their success.

They bagged best music director awards at Star Screen Awards, Apsara Awards, Zee Cine Awards and Filmfare Awards for the funny cop drama in which Salman Khan played the lead role.

"I am on cloud nine and it's really fun. If we have worked hard, god has acknowledged it. Out of 101 percent, I would give 100 percent credit to Salman bhai and keep the rest with me for the success. Salman is like a godfather to us. When no one gave us a chance, he believed in us," Sajid told us in an interview.

Wajid said: "I give 100 percent credits to Salman Khan. He stood by us when nobody believed in us, he believed in our music, so certainly whatever we are today, a major part of the credit goes to him. If he had not been with us, our journey would have been more difficult."

The duo was introduced to Bollywood by actor-director-producer Sohail Khan with "Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya" in 1998 and since then they have given music for almost all Salman films and with "Dabangg" they have struck gold.

This film fetched Salman too his first award in the best actor category.

"No one can underrate Salman Khan. One's ability can't be measured by whether he is awarded or not. People make their position with their work; awards are just an extension of it. As a human being, Salman has garnered so many awards from normal people. As a human being he is far ahead," said Wajid.

As of now they are not associated with any Salman film, but they are sure to remain loyal to him.

"Certainly! We always look up to him. We are his loyalists and would always want to work with him," said Wajid.

Surprise inspection at Dabangg,s producer Arbaaz Khan office!

Surprise inspection at Dabangg,s producer Arbaaz Khan office!: Dabangg producer Arbaaz Khan who has certainly pocketed big bucks following the film’s good run at box office was visited by Income Tax sleuths.

A surprise inspection was conducted at Khan’s office in suburban Bandra to see if the accounts were in place.

“It is just a routine check on the advance tax as ‘Dabangg’ has collected lot of money,” Arbaaz said.

Starring his brother Salman Khan and newcomer Sonakshi Sinha, Dabangg has become the biggest hit film from Bollywood this year. Its opening day and opening weekend collections even surpassed that of Aamir Khan’s 3 Idiots last year.

Dabangg is the first film to be produced by Arbaaz in association with his wife Malaika Arora who also had an item song in the film.

Arbaaz Khan criticizing 'Dabangg' over Shobhaa De

Arbaaz Khan criticizing 'Dabangg' over Shobhaa De: A critical review of Dabangg by Shobhaa De hasn’t gone down well with the movie’s producer Arbaaz Khan. If an acerbic volley of tweets after the release of I Hate Luv Storys  by its actress and director wasn’t enough, this time it’s Arbaaz writing off the famous socialite and film critic Shobhaa De yet again.

Though Shobhaa hasn’t panned the movie she has made a few scathing comments on the film, especially about the scene when Salman’s shirt rips off just by the intensity of his anger. Shobhaa writes, “The one scene that really and truly created history and will go down as an astonishing cinematic moment is the one of Salman Khan’s shirt tearing, popping and flying off his back… all by itself!”

Using his Twitter handle, Arbaaz retorts in a series of tweets, “Shobha De writes a lot of s**t about Salman and Malaika. Her claim to fame is marrying some rich industrialist. I'm not sure if its 3 or 4. Mr De hold on to your money or Shobha at 60 can still compete with Elizabeth Taylor. One thought that age makes you wiser but unfortunately its not happening in the case of Shobha who is 60.”

If you think this comment is too rash, read Arbaaz’s second tweet, “This idiotic woman had recently said ban Dabangg. Who the hell is she? Is she the law? She's a frustrated sleaze writer.”

Taking potshots on each other can become so uncool.

Salman Khan’s Dabangg to make Non stop business at box office

Salman Khan’s Dabangg to make Non stop business at box office: Single screen theatres are witnessing a phenomenon right now; Salman Khan’s film Dabangg  is going great guns in its third week. The movie has grossed around Rs 10.75 crore nett over its third weekend, and it collected Rs 35-36 crore approx from its second week. Now its total seventeen-day business is Rs 127 crore approx.

Salman Khan’s Dabangg

Though the movie did well in its second week, it couldn’t match up 3 Idiots which had a record second week of Rs 56 crore approx. As per reports the coming weekday business should add another Rs 5-6 crore as there is no competition for Dabangg. The movie’s box office earnings are likely to touch Rs 132-133 crore after three weeks. Dabangg also gave Salman his third all-time blockbuster after Maine Pyar Kiya and Hum Aapke Hain Kaun.

However, the fourth weekend will come as a challenge for the film, as Anjaana Anjaani and Endhiran (Robot) both are releasing on October 1.What comes as a disappointment for the makers is Dabangg’s satellite revenue.

The satellite rights of the movie are already sold for around Rs 10 crore but seeing its fantastic success at the BO the rights could have been worth Rs 30-35 crore, if not more.
