"Bachna Ae Haseenon" or "God Tussi ...."

Which movie will apeal to the audiences? "Bachna Ae Haseenon" or "God Tussi Great Ho". While "God Tussi ...." has a big star Salman Khan in it, Bachna has new and rising star in it - Ranbir Kapoor. Both have opened to mixed reviews with Bachna getting its nose ahead. "God Tussi...." has been criticised as a blatant copy while Ranbirs movie starring Deepika Padukone, Bipasha Basu and Minissha is said to be fresh and enjoybale.

But we all know that doesn't count for any thing in Bollywood as it can turn the tables on critics and reviews quite easily. Here star power counts a lot as fans of a particular star will go and watch any crappy movie if their favorite star is in it.

So lets wait and watch. And what will I watch? Definitely Bachna...as I would like new stars to rise and I think Salman is a arrogant idiot and is doing the worst kind of movies possible; either due to lack of concern or plain stupidity.

God Tussi …… is not a copy says Rumi Jaffery

In an interview with Rediff, Rumi Jaffery the films director says his upcoming movie ‘God Tussi Great Ho’ is not a copy of Bruce Almighty.

Pray tell me how – Both main characters are reporters in the movie. Both have girlfriend troubles in the movie. Both their girl friends are poached by rival reporters. There is a figure who plays God in the movie, in the Hindi movie by the Big B. Even their suits are of a similar styling – complete white. Couldn’t they have at least changed that before arguing about the originality of their movie?

The main character gets pissed off with the situation he is in and blames God for all his troubles. God appears and offers him the chance to run the world for 10 days. WAIT!!! Eureka there was the difference. In the original Jim Carrey gets a period of only 1 week (if I am right) and here Salman gets a period of 10 days. THAT’S WHY THIS STORY IS AN ORIGINAL. I AGREE. He he hehe he heh

And what else? The troubles that follow when he is unable to mage the world make him realize that managing the world is not that easy as it looks.

Yup Guys, this is an original!

By the way, Rumi has to his credits movies like Haseena Maan Jaayegi, Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge, Chal Mere Bhai, Kunwara and Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya. Will this be Salman Khans next hit after Partner, which was a blockbuster hit last year.

Salman snubbed at Hyderabad airport opening!!

Salman Khan the enfant terrible of Bollywood, who will be seen in God Tussi Great Ho soon, got his just dues when he was called to participate in a function that was held to inaugurate the new International airport in Hyderabad. Now I am not sure of he was called to be present, or be part of the opening, but what happened was once the funcion was started, Sallu was relegated to the six row of the audience. Out of sight was out of mind for the organisers. They simply forgot about Salman for the rest of the program.

I was laughing my ass off thinking of Salman's predicament. He is notorious for his brusque behaviour with journalists and often answers rudely or sarcastically when he is in a bad mood - which is almost always. So it was great to hear him being brought down to earth. Haw hwhahwhw hwhah haw. But to his credit he behaved impeccably as a classy person should (Salman--- classy????? &^&^&^&*^& &*^%&^-&$^$%^) and sat quietly as the function rolled along. He will remember in future that he should avoid all functions that involve politicians as they are notorious for hogging the limelight - some thing that celebrities crave for themselves. In attendance were big-wigs like Sonia Gandhi, Andhra CM Reddy, and a few other central ministers. So what was the chance for Salman Khan to be noticed.

Salman Khan (star of Partner, Lucky - No Time For Love, Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya, Phir Milenge, Mujhse Shaadi Karogi, Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega, Hum Saath Saath Hain, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Maine Pyaar Kiya) would be chastened with this embarrassing encounter with politicos and will surely be wiser. In future he would double check the programme before giving his okay to it.

Salman Khan comes clean on the alleged support to Raj Thackeray's MNS

A couple of days ago, Salman Khan made it clear in a press conference that he had in no way, supported the MNS agenda of hostility towards Uttar Bhartiya's (people from UP, Bihar). There were alot of stories swirling in the press that he along with a few other prominent film personalities had supported Raj Thackeray. But this was very diffeent from the actual story. The truth is that they had only supported his freedon of speech and were opposed to the court gagging him in his statements to the press and media.

Sallu said, "Raj is a very dear friend and I know him for very long. But I have not supported his cause. My father (Khan senior) just said that Raj has the freedom of speech, nothing more."
This innocuous statement was twisted by the media to mean that a few film artistes actaully supported the MNS agenda. Among them were Maharashtrian actors like Nana Patekar, Shreyas Talpade, and Sajid Khan and a few others.

Salman who has had a mixed year with a hit in Partner and a super flop in Saawariya is looking forward to a couple of important projects like God Tussi Great Ho, Yuvraaj and remake of Telugu super hit Pokiri.

Salman argued that his own family were originally migrants - father from Madhya Pradesh, maternal Grand father from Kashmir, and paternal Grand father from Kashmir. Thats the reason he said it was impossible for him to support such demands.

Who is this new Sardarji on the block?

Check out this hunk Sardarji who is starring in Sameer Karnik's latest movie. If you can't recognise him, too bad for your Bollywood knowledge. It's one of the big stars from the Khan club.

Well if you still aren't sure who it is, let me tell you. It's Salman Khan who will be seen playing a Sardar for the first time in his upcoming film Heroes.

The movie Heroes also stars Sohail Khan, Vatsal Seth, Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol, Preity Zinta, Amrita Arora, Riya Sen and Mithun Chakraborty. Whew! That is one compact starcast! Salman plays a military official in this road movie which is reportedly inspired by the cult classic The Motorcycle Diaries.

After Jaan-E-Mann and Salaam-E-Ishq this will be another movie where Salman will be sharing screen presence with quite a few stars.

The photo is just a photoshopped impression of how Salman would like like a Sardar.
