Salman’s pen as mighty as sword (BT,Mum,Page1,31Oct08)

Bollywood hunk scripts sword-weilding role for himself in future action film

It’s a good thing that Arnold Schwarzenegger isn’t planning to return to Hollywood as Conan the Barbarian. He might not like the fact that Salman Khan has stolen a march over him in his forthcoming film — Vijay Giliani’s Veer. Sallu, like Arnie in the Conan series, plays a swordweilding, horse-riding gladiator in Veer with wild, long hair.

It’s a new look the actor is experimenting with after playing the rustic and turbaned Sikh in his last film. Interestingly, Salman’s played a wig-and-costume warrior before in Gilani’s Suryavanshi opposite Karisma Kapoor. But this time, the role apart, Salman is also involved in the script writing of this big budget film.

“I wrote this script while working on Baaghi. But, it wasn’t feasible to make it then because of its vast canvas. Now things have changed, production values have gone up and technically we are so much superior,” Salman told BT.

His character in Veer that is being shot with a new actress in Rajasthan and London, is that of a fighter who dies to honour his word. “Like me, I am a Pathan, and I live by what I say,” added the actor. Both Gilani and he zeroed in on Anil Sharma, who directed the successful Gadar, to work on their project.

Salman doesn’t rule out writing in the future. “I wanted to be a director when I started out. But I guess I was meant to be an actor. I didn’t think I was good looking, but people felt that my eyes were very expressive,” he said. He still doesn’t rule out direction in the future, now that he’s expressed himself as a writer (and, also a painter). “It was a keen desire then,” he admitted.

“We don’t like ‘Saifeena’ (BT,Mum,Page38,31Oct08)

One girl who never ceases to surprise is our lovely Bebo darlings. She was dignity and charm personified while doing an interview for ZOOM TV, but we weren’t fooled by the poise one bit. The eyes flashed enough fire at the mention of Priyanka Chopra’s ‘Size Zero’ cracks.

And when asked about her marriage plans to Saif, she smiled and said, “I want our relationship to last a long long time. But marriage is not on the immediate cards. We are hoping it works for us.” However, the gem of gems was when she was asked if she liked the name ‘Saifeena’ – given to our desi Brangelina. Her nose crinkled, ‘Saifeena? We don’t like Saifeena. Saif asks ‘what’s that?’ Please call us by our names.”

PRIYANKA IS A ‘FIRST-CLASS’ GIRLFRIEND! (BT,Mum,Page38,31Oct08)

Now here’s some ‘udhti khabar’ that dropped onto our gossip pages right out from the vanilla skies, dearies. And you know us — we lap up anything gossipy, even if it’s a chatterbox ET from outerspace. So here’s the story. And it’s about Priyanka and Harman (in the immediate era post Love Story 2050).

Our flying grapevine tells us of the gushing love and affection that our beautiful Piggy Chops seems to be overflowing with – especially if it involves anyone ‘Baweja’. Also, after doing a film for Karan, she knows ‘it’s all about loving the family’ – so PC used that to full effect while traveling with Harman and Harry B for the movie promotions.

My sources in the sky (yeah, I have my ears in the clouds, too) tell me that loving Priyanka was pretty disturbed to learn that she had been allotted a firstclass seat while beau Harman and daddy Baweja had chosen to travel business class.

Apparently, Priyanka felt so bad at being treated to this starry status by the Bawejas that at first she tried making amends by requesting the airlines to upgrade them as well. But it was ‘no go’ on that front.

Then she did the next best thing, behaving in a fashion that would behove a bahu (uh, excuse the twister). Damn all the starriness, she promptly offered Harry her seat, insisting he takes it, then she plonked herself on his seat, by Harman’s side – looking at him oh-solovingly.

Now you know why we don’t feel bad for PC? Surely, Harman is a lucky dude to have such a ‘first-class’ girlfriend. And hey, if there was some extra turbulence on that flight, blame it on business class, puhlease?

Kangana’s night-out with Sumans (BT,Mum,Page1,31Oct08)

Back for more? Yup, who isn’t! And BT gives you its second Backbeat by Zoom page... the mother-of-all ‘item’ numbers on Bollywood and its bold and beautiful animals. Sample this tidbit thrown out for starters. Then, turn to Page 8 for the rest of your feed...

Ms K has been doing everything in style of late. She had a special screening of her new ‘F’ movie, and she invited her special B-town buddies (no, Aditya Pancholi wasn’t on that list), her ‘extended’ family (yeah, Mr & Mrs Shekhar Suman), boyfriend Adhyayan, and her new Kites costar, Hrithik, along with Sussanne.

Sometime ago the Sumans didn’t approve of the woman in Adhyayan’s life, but look at them now…one big Bollywood family. Hmmnn… after all life is like a long filmi scene, na? With a lot of reality bytes, too. Are we getting too profound here? Heck no, fashionable director Madhur seems to be applauding most.
