Jaan-e-mann Maximum Screen Prints in Mumbai Ever

Sajid Nadiadwala’s belief in the adage ‘No guts no glory’ seems to be paying off quite well. And how !! He had invested Rs 40 crore with a big starcast on a new talented director, Shirish Kunder which is never done by even the biggest of banners. And the talented director has delivered a film which has become the hottest proposition. After breaking the record for the Mumbai territory for Rs 7.4crore and other territories too, ‘Jaan-e-mann’ has now broken the record for the maximum number of screen in the Mumbai circuit (Includes City suburbs, Thane, Maharashtra, Gujarat ).

‘Jaan-e-mann’ starring Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar and Preity Zinta will be released in 250+ screens in the Mumbai territory much more than ‘Krrish’ and ‘KANK’ (200 + screens). In the bargain Sajid Nadiadwala has ensured that the best theatres and screen is available for his patrons. Says Denis Selarka of Shree Astavinayak Cinevision ltd, the Mumbai distributor for the film, “JAAN-E-MANN is definitely a hot proposition and it’s true that we are planning to release the movie in as many as 250+ screen in the Mumbai territory.”

The Trade which is true barometer about which film is hot is abuzz on how the various major distributors who had brought the film for a record breaking fee are not yet selling it to the sub distributors as is normally done. And after the release of the Rs 40 lakh trailer and the first look of the film unleashed by Sajid Nadiadwala, has further fuelled the buzz about JAAN-E-MANN being the biggest release for the festive season.

Says Sajid, “Touchwood the film is so hot in the trade. I’m confident that our brand Nadiadwala Grandsons which stands for complete Entertainers will fulfill everyone's expectations with the release of ‘JAAN-E-MANN’. I’m sure everyone will benefit from JAAN-E-MANN.”

With the unbeatable block-buster track record , the deadly star-cast combo, the script, and the trailer and the look of the film makes it the hottest film this Diwali/ IDD.

Salmans first on-screen kiss?

Rumors are rife that Salman Khan shares his first on-screen lip-lock with Preity Zinta in the forthcoming movie Jaanemann, directed by Shirish Kunder. When contacted, the producer of the movie, Sajid Nadiadwala denied the news saying, “There is no truth to the rumor as there is no kiss in the movie”. Well if the news was true, Salman’s fans would be in for big surprise as this would be a little different from Salman’s onscreen image.

Jaanemann is slated for a Diwali release worldwide and also stars Akshay Kumar in the lead.

“I Don’t Mind Doing A Film With Ash,” Says Salman Khan

“I don’t mind doing a film with Aishwarya,” said Salman Khan in a television interview yesterday. When prodded further as to whose mistake it was in his relationship with the Miss World, the temperamental star stated that he doesn’t believe in badmouthing anyone so he is ready to take all the blame. He also said that he shares a warm and cordial relationship with all his ex-girlfriends. To which the aggressive journo sniggered, “Except one….”

Somehow after watching the half an hour long interview one gathered an impression that one of the biggest stars ever of Bollywood is naïve at heart. And very simple. A reclusive star is made to sit on the Hot Seat to boost the TRPs of a show hosted by not an entertainment specialist, but a political journalist. All the uncomfortable personal questions (Especially related with Aishwarya Rai) that have been done-to-death are thrown at him and little time space is given to Salman the star and the actor. Khan politely answered all the questions and kept smiling even when he looked uneasy due to the cheesy questions like “How many girlfriends have you had so far?”

When asked why the two King Khans that complete the trio of superstars (Aamir and Shahrukh) never supported him when he was in messy situations, Salman replied, “Everyone has their own problems. It’s not as if they don’t call. They do call me. But I myself tell them that don’t come out in support of me for you might land in trouble yourself. When I am out of this mess I myself shall come and meet you.” And what about the image that one is a king, the other a badshah, what are you? “I am the joker of the pack.” But a joker is very crucial in a pack of cards. “That’s a different way of looking at things,” Salman Khan smiled.

The good part about this Salman Khan that I witnesses yesterday was that he seems much more relaxed than before. He was polite, humble and courteous. But maybe he should draw a line when it comes to discussing his personal life in the open. For example when asked about Katrina Kaif, his current girlfriend who was the first to join him in Jodhpur when he was jailed for five days few months ago, he replied that he doesn’t wish to speak about her. “Whenever I’ve spoken about people it has become jinxed.”

Will Salman match SRK-Aamir

Bollywood's other two Khans – Aamir and Shahrukh have already notched up notable success this year. Shahrukh’s KANK is a declared superhit within two weeks of its release, with some reports suggesting that it has already grossed Rs 70 crores. Aamir’s Rang De Basanti, and Fanaa were both big hits.

Hrithik Roshan with Krrish and Abhishek Bachchan with KANK and Bunty Aur Babli are two other stars who have got big nods from the audiences this year.

Salman Khan, so far this year, has been in the limelight for the wrong reason - his legal transgressions. In February he was sentenced to one year in prison for hunting an endangered species, the Chinkara. Fortunately for him, following an appeal, the sentence was stayed by a higher court.

Later, on April 10, in a different case for a similar offence, he was handed a five year jail term. This time he actually spent 2 days in jail before being released on bail.

Salman has had one lack luster release so far in 2006 - Shaadi karke phas gaya yaar, a film that no one, including Salman, placed any bets on and which, not surprisingly, turned out to be a big flop.

However, Salman fans need not despair. They will get to see their favorite star soon and repeatedly. He is due to appear in three big ticket movies almost back to back later this year.

Releasing on 23 Oct 2006 will be Salam-e-Ishq: A tribute to love, produced by Mukesh Talreja (Tere Naam / Kyon Ki / Dil Ne Jise Apna Kaha). The film packs a wallop as far as the star cast goes - Salman Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Anil Kapoor, Juhi Chawla, Akshaye Khanna, Ayesha Takia, John Abraham, Vidya Balan, Govinda, Shannon Esrechowitz, Sohail Khan, Perizaad Zorabian and Anjana Sukhani

Next, releasing on 10 Nov 2006, is BR Films Babul featuring Amitabh Bachchan, Hema Malini, Salman Khan, Rani Mukherjee, John Abraham and Om Puri.

Finally, on 17 November 2006 will be the long awaited Janeman by Bollywood Hollywood Productions featuring Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar, Preity Zinta and Anupam Kher. The film has an interesting history detailed in Jaaneman - Keeps us waiting.

Though Salman will have three good opportunities to do so it is unlikely he will emerge as the dominant star of 2006. He seems to have too many contenders. Hrithik Roshan, with the gravity defying super hit Krrish already tucked under his super hero cape and with Dhoom II set to explode during Diwali, seems to be front runner for that honor.

Closely trailing are Shahrukh, Aamir and Abhishek. There are other stars to contend with - Sunjay Dutt in Lage Raho Munna Bhai, could come good, very good! Similarly, King Khan Shahrukh could well settle the issue with yet another stellar performance in the anxiously awaited remake of Don.

Salman, who has other good films lined up for release early next year, is unlikely to be perturbed. Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Saawariyan opposite Rani Mukerjee, Sony Pictures India's first foray into local production, is one example. His other movies currently filming include God Tussi Great Ho, Partner and London Dreams

Salman Khan in Namastey London

Just some time back we told you about the possibility of the presence of Riteish Deshmukh in Vipul Shah’s Namastey London. Bobby Deol was also seen on the sets of the film while he was shooting for his film Jhoom Barabar Jhoom in London. The movie is in news again.

Vipul has been shooting for the film in London for a while now. Apparently, Salman Khan is also present in the city shooting for Nikhil Advani’s Salaam-e-Ishq. He therefore, bumped into Vipul a couple of times in London and well.

Khan has now even agreed to do a cameo in Namastey London. Sallu will now be seen doing a small appearance in the film. Salman’s approval however, doesn’t really come as a big surprise since his “good friend” Katrina Kaif also stars in the film.
