Salman wants more than Akshay!

http://www.gobollywood.com/pictures/akshay-kumar-and-salman-khan.jpg
Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar haven't really let the ice thaw since the cold vibes they shared in Jaan-e-Mann. And that was just the tip of the iceberg.

The stakes have risen since Akshay got paid a whopper for the desi Fear Factor and Salman wants to get even, or more than Akki, if he can.

A source says, "Recently, when Studio 18 approached Salman for a film he wanted to know how much Akshay was getting.

When he heard Akshay was getting 40 crore, Salman hiked his price to 50 crore.

When Sony"s 10 Ka Dum was launched Salman was getting paid 90 crore for 100 episodes.

Then he read in a few tabloids that Akshay Kumar was anchoring a reality show - the desi version of Fear Factor on Viacom 18's Colors - sand was getting paid a whopping Rs 1.5 crore per episode for 16 episodes."

Mujhe zyaada chahiye

The source reveals that Salman was very upset on hearing this. "He was to start shooting for the show but refused to come on the sets. Salman threw a tantrum saying he wouldn't shoot till his price was hiked and that he should get more than Akshay. Sony was in a fix. They had already announced the show with Salman and the promos were to soon go on air.

But they couldn't agree to what Salman was asking for. Finally Salman said they should pay him at least a crore per episodes. It was finally decided that Salman would be paid a whopping 104 crore for 100 episodes!

Imagine that!

Siddharth Basu of Synergy Communication, which is producing the show says, "As far as I know, that's nonsense. All these figures you mention are largely imaginary. Producers don't deal with commercials when it comes to film stars. You could try speaking to Mr NP Singh or Mr Albert Almeida from Sony."

Sony's and Salman's business manager remained unavailable for comment. Today, the first music video will be launched today at an event though Salman won't be present. He is currently shooting for Sohail Khan's Mr Aur Mrs Khanna in Australia.

Rani Mukherjee's sexy in her bikini

Bollywood Actress Rani Mukherjee's sexy in her bikini In Dil Bole Hadippa Believe it or not, but the whole ‘bikini top ‘n’ skimpy shorts’ avatar in short — flaunting Rani Mukerji’s hot new bod wasn’t her idea. Not even the producer or director had anything to do with it. After she realised how much she had toned up (to play a male cricketer in Dil Bole Hadippa!), Rani just happened to discuss this idea with her designer friend Manish Malhotra. And from there on it was Manish’s game plan, after all, he’s transformed many a Bollywood girl in to glam queens. He suggested that it would be a pity to waste such a well-toned body by not showing it off. That’s how the idea of a special song was born. And is she looking hot? Talk about her ‘shapely’ success, and Rani says, “Believe me, I didn’t starve at all. I love my food, especially rice and sweets. There was no way I was giving up all that. So, I just worked out harder and was occasionally allowed my ‘cheat’ meals of rice, sweets, etc. ...

'I have no heartfelt desire to work with SRK’: Ranbir Kapoor

Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor maintains he never said he was desperate to share screen space with Shah Rukh Khan, but admitted he would love to work with the superstar if a good project came his way. “I had no such dil ki tamanna (heartfelt desire) to work with Shah Rukh sir. But I respect him a lot. I am a big fan of him,” Ranbir told reporters on the margins of the HT Leadership Summit here Friday. The 28-year-old, who was here with his father, evergreen star Rishi Kapoor, says a superstar’s presence in a project isn’t reason enough for him to accept it. “It’s not that if a superstar will be there in a film, I’ll agree to do it. But if I like a film, I like its script, I would be more than glad to do it,” he added. Nevertheless, Ranbir enjoys the attention he gets from the youth.
