★Salman Khan Is Not In Favour Of Promoting A Film Via Social Media! Superstar @BeingSalmanKhan is leaving no stone

August 25, 2011
Mumbai- Superstar Salman Khan is leaving no stone unturned for the promotion of his upcoming film Bodyguard. But he is not in favour of promoting a film via social media.
He believes that social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook are not meant for film promotion but to connect with fans and that just one tweet is sufficient to make fans aware.
By saying this he smartly hinted towards his archrival Shah Rukh who frequently speaks about his film through the medium of social media.
Salman who is suffering from facial nerve disorder for quite some time is under medical treatment. He has also undergone an angiography.
But being a professional to the core he never allows his professional commitments to be hampered due to his health.

How Salman took over the Eid weekend!” @BeingSalmanKhan has actually made Eid releases important, largely starting w/ #Wanted…!

August 25, 2011
Over the last few years, the Khans have each taken up a particular festive weekend, and made it their own.
Aamir Khan, for example, has cornered the market on Christmas — after hits like Taare Zameen Par, Ghajini and Three Idiots — while Shah Rukh Khan likes coming to our screens every Diwali.
And while Diwali was always a big weekend for Bollywood films, Salman Khan has actually made Eid releases important, largely starting with Wanted in 2009.

Here’s a look at how he has slowly and surely made a dent into the Eid market and given fans something to rejoice about.
Salman Khan’s first big Eid release came during 2006, another year where Eid and Diwali coincided, as did Salman and SRK.

Shah Rukh’s Don remake got the all-important opening, however, and while Jaan-E-Mann might have been the better film, Salman’s first taste of the big Eid weekend wasn’t a sweet one.

Everything, however, changed in 2009, when Salman’s long-awaited Wanted, stuck in production and distribution issues forever, hit the screens.

The film was a spectacular success, a runaway success far bigger than any of Shah Rukh’s films in the last few years, and suddenly Eid was a major weekend, one that films could be scheduled around. And it was all because of Sallu’s Wanted.
2010 might have started on a lean note for Salman with the atrocious Veer, but all was forgiven come Eid as he wore a moustache and brought the country one of its biggest ever hits.

Audiences lapped up Dabangg as if they’d been starved of Salman, and the trade accepted that Sallu Bhai was now an integral part of the Eid weekend, one that he’d created from scratch.

This year Salman is all poised for an Eid hat-trick with his latest, Bodyguard, and all the signs look very positive.
The actor’s popularity has only gone up, and even awful films like Ready have shaken up the box office big time; he’s working with Kareena Kapoor, the industry’s most sought-after heroine, after non-entities like Asin and Sonakshi Sinha; and he’s singing a song evidently in ode to his own biceps.

What else could the festive movie-goer ask for?

Salman Khan wants Anna Hazare to end fast soon; @BeingSalmanKhan has joined Anna Hazare’s crusade against corruption…!

25/08/11

Indore: Salman Khan has joined the list of Bollywood stars supporting Anna Hazare’s crusade against corruption.
Salman, who visited the city on Wednesday to promote his upcoming romantic-action flick ‘Bodyguard’, told reporters that though he is unaware about the details of the Janlokpal Bill, he wants Anna to break his 10-day old fast as soon as possible.
“Anna is on fast for the last 10 days. I want him to break his fast as soon as possible. The prime minister should take a decision in favour of the people of the country,” said Salman.
When enquired about Lokpal and corruption, he said that while both are different subjects he finds nothing wrong in small scale corruption.
“If someone breaks traffic signal or is not wearing a helmet and a constable asks him to pay some bribe then I find nothing wrong that. You have to understand this, what salary a constable gets. He has to feed numerous mouths,” said Salman.
“Small scale corruption can be stopped as it is a matter of one’s conscience. But don’t know when the people involved in corruption of thousands of crore of rupees will listen to their conscience,” he added.
‘Bodyguard’ showers love on Indore
Reminiscing his association with Indore, Salman Khan said he has been visiting the city since his childhood but regretted the fact he couldn’t spend much time here.
My heart has a special place for Indore. Our house, bungalow, farm, everything is close to my heart, he said.
“I miss Indore badly. Roaming in my farm, Indore’s lassi, aam, jamun, I miss all this,” he said.
Salman also reiterated that he would marry a girl from Indore if he finds a suitable match.
