2. Anything for Bhai! Salman to Do Cameo in SRK’s Next

Karan Arjun fans may rejoice! After watching Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan reunite in Tubelight, we will see Salman return the favour by doing a cameo in SRK’s next.

Salman will be seen in SRK’s next with Anand L Rai which reportedly also stars Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif.

Talking about SRK’s cameo in Tubelight, Salman said it took one phone call to get SRK on board.

When Kabir (director Kabir Khan) narrated the subject to me, he said, ‘For this role we should get Shah Rukh’. So, when I called him and I told him that there is a small role in Tubelight which I would like you to do it, before completing my sentence, Shah Rukh said, ‘I will do it’. That’s how he made his entry into the movie.

The duo have worked together in Karan Arjun, Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.

3. Baba Siddique’s Iftar Party With Salman, SRK, Preity & Matin

Shah Rukh Khan discreetly came from the back entrance to avoid the paparazzi. Preity Zinta was also spotted with Iulia Vantur at the event.

4. Ajay Devgn to Play Baba Ramdev in a Biopic?

Is Ajay Devgn all set to play the coolest godman in India? If reliable sources are to be believed, Ajay Devgn who was last seen in the underwhelming self-directed home production Shivaay may soon don the saffron for the role of Baba Ramdev.

The Baba, known to be colourful quirky and quite a scenestealer in public spaces, definitely has a huge success story to prop up his image. Devgn is keen to explore the image. The earlier plan was to produce a television serial on Baba Ramdev with the talented Death In The Gunj actor Vikrant Massey in the lead. But after things didn’t workout with Vikrant, Devgn who was to produce the serial, has taken the story back to the board.

In all likelihood he will now produce a big-screen biopic on Baba Ramdev and will cast himself as the scenestealing Baba.

5. Kajol-Dhanush’s Film Gets a New Title in Hindi, ‘VIP 2 (Lalkar)’

The makers of the Kajol-Dhanush starrer VIP 2 have decided to use another title for the Hindi version of their movie titled VIP 2 (Lalkar).

Since the comedy drama directed by Soundarya Rajinikanth features the two powerhouse performers - Kajol and Dhanush together for the first time on the big screen, the makers wanted to ensure the title registers across pan-India, especially the north belt, considered as one of the major revenue earning territories, said a statement.

Kajol is returning to the big screen after 2015 released Dilwale, and Dhanush enjoys a huge fan following in the north after Raanjhanaa and Shamitabh.
