Revealed: Salman Khan not to get R 5 cr for Bigg Boss, click to know his real fees

Recently, there were rumors that superstar Salman Khan will be carrying home Rs. 5 crore for every episode of Bigg Boss 7. However, reliable sources close to the project have denied this amount and called it, “impractical unrealistic and impossible.”

The sources placed Salman’s newly-negotiated fee to host Bigg Boss Season 7 closer to Rs. 3 Crores per episode.

Says the source, “Salman’s fee is between 2.5 crores and 3 crores per episode. His total fees is around Rs. 45 crore for 20 days of work. Akshay Kumar had got Rs. 1 crore per episode for Master Chef, which was a record of sorts. Ageee, Salman is a bigger star than Akshay. But I don’t think the figure of Rs. 5 crore for Salman makes any sense. This is someone’s flight of fantasy.”

The bigger question is that who is responsible for flaunting such unrealistic figures? This is not the first time that a superstar’s television deal has been blown out of all financial proportions.

A highly-placed source from the television industry says, “These highly exaggerated fees are ways to show that the superstar is doing television only because it has been made worth his while. Such absurd figures are not to be taken seriously.”

Salman Khan not given UK visa

MUMBAI: Actor Salman Khan, who is scheduled to shoot in the UK for his upcoming film `Kick', has not been given visa. 

His father, Salim Khan, said the visa was denied because some papers related to the court cases against him relating to alleged hunting chinkara and blackbuck in Rajasthan during the shoot of `Hum Saath Saath Hain' in 1998 did not reach here in time. 

Salman was convicted in two cases and was handed sentence of five years in one case and a year in the other. He has appealed in the High Court against both the sentences. 

"The visa was denied to him because some papers from Jodhpur were not there...the papers had not come. All this has happened because of technical glitch," Salim Khan told PTI. 

He will again apply for the visa next week, Khan said. The actor is also being tried for culpable homicide not amounting to murder in a hit-and-run case in Mumbai.

Salman Khan To Produce Punjabi Film Jatt & Juliet Hindi Remake

Salman Khan co-produced ‘Chillar Party’ two years ago, and everything has been quiet on that front since then. But it looks like he has finally begun putting his production plans in action.

It is already well knows that Salman Khan is producing the vehicle for the debuts of Sooraj Pancholi and Athiya Shetty. The film is a remake of Subhash Ghai’s 1983 Jackie Shroff-starrer ‘Hero’.

Beside this film, buzz is that Salman Khan wants to remake the Punjabi film ‘Jatt and Juliet’, which has been a huge hit overseas too. This film will be co-produced with Himesh Reshammiya, and will star a newcomer (not Sooraj Pancholi).

His collaboration with Himesh Reshammiya speaks well of their relationship. Even though Himesh started off with Salman Khan in 1998′s ‘Pyaar Kiya Toh Darna Kya’, their relationship soured. Eventually, they let bygones be bygones and Himesh Reshammiya even composed the music for Salman Khan’s 2011 film ‘Bodyguard’.

The third film that Salman Khan will be producing will be directed by Puneet Issar, who directed Salman Khan previously in ‘Garv: Pride And Honour’. The good news for Salman Khan fans here is that the superstar himself may act in this film. The highlight of the film is, reportedly, its action scenes.

Both the films with Himesh Reshammiya and Puneet Issar will shoot in 2014. Meanwhile, the remake of ‘Hero’, which has tentatively been titled ‘The Hero’, will go on floors in November this year.

Rishi Kapoor inspired by Salman Khan’s Chulbul Pandey

Post the success of Dabangg (2010), Salman Khan was called Chulbul Pandey, his character in the film. And although director Abhinav Singh Kashyap couldn’t take forward the inspector’s antics further (after an alleged fallout with Salman and Arbaaz Khan), we’ve come to know that he has resurrected Chulbul in his next, Besharam. The film has Ranbir Kapoor in the lead.

 “Not many are aware that Rishiji’s (Kapoor) character is called Chulbul. And like Salman, he is an innately funny policeman. In fact, Neetuji (Kapoor) plays a female police officer called Bulbul,” informs a source from the sets. “And their comic timing is simply superb.” 

And contrary to popular perception, the Kapoors won’t be seen as Ranbir’s parents in the film. “They are portraying Haryanvi cops. While Neetuji’s character is loud, aggressive and corrupt, Rishiji is her soft-spoken counterpart. And since Chulbul became so popular among fans, it was Abhinav’s idea to bring him back,” adds the insider.

 Despite repeated attempts, Abhinav, who wrapped up the Mumbai schedule a couple of days ago, couldn’t be reached for a comment.

Salman Khan’s London Dreams Delayed Again UK Visa cancelled

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, who was to leave for London to shoot for Sajid Nadiadwala’s next film, has been unable to cross the Indian shores. According to reports, Salman’s visa has been allegedly rejected and no explanation has been given for the same. The shooting of the film is already underway and Salman was to join the unit last week. However, his visa got cancelled and he has unable to fly to London.

 While no one really knows what went wrong, insiders reveal that proceedings against Salman in hit and run case could be the main reason for it. Nowadays, securing a UK visa has become very difficult as the rules have become very stringent. Any court case against you, irrespective of your power or position, could go against securing a UK visa.

 Though the court has framed the charges against the superstar, the case has been adjourned till August 19.

 The star may apply for the visa again next week. However, with the charges against the actor, will he be able to get the visa? That is worth discussing.
