Vipul Shah stops all publicity on Salman Khan

publicity on Salman Khan
Vipul Shah’s London Dreams has turned into a bit of a nightmare. First, there is the Salman Khan spree of 3 back-to-back releases to be dealt with. Now, Vipul Shah has another biggie dropping into the same space. As of now Vipul has stopped all Salman Khan-centric publicity for London Dreams.

The Salman Khan season has begun full swing. After the whopping Wanted, it is Salman’s home production Main Aur Mrs Khanna on October 16 followed by Vipul Shah’s London Dreams on October 30.

Is this a case of Salman Khan overkill? Vipul Shah doesn’t think so. But he has put a halt to all publicity involving Salman for London Dreams until Main Aur Mrs Khanna is released on October 16.

“There’s no point in a publicity overlap. I don’t want audiences to be confused or annoyed by repeated and overlapping images of Salman’s films. Fortunately for me both Wanted and Main Aur Mrs Khanna are very different from my film, and from one another. However it’s finally the same Salman. So I’d rather not waste his publicity dates or my efforts to get the film noticed.”

All publicity involving Salman in London Dreams has come to a halt. And Vipul is looking at a new strategy to promote his film. “I’m waiting and observing the way Main Aur Mrs Khanna is being promoted. My challenge is to now present Salman differently from the way he was presented for Wanted and Main Aur Mrs Khanna.”

One of the ideas is to host a round of rock concerts in selected cities featuring Salman, Ajay Devgan and Asin since the film is about a music band.

But at the moment Vipul is tight-lipped on this. “It’s never wise to reveal your strategy. You never know who might decide to use it before you do.”

Another problem has crept up on London Dreams from the back. Sujoy Ghosh’s fantasy Aladin has been pre-poned from 13 November to 30 October.

“I had gone ahead and planned an October 30 release with the producers’ guild’s assurance that there would be no other release. But now suddenly Aladin has been pre-poned to the same Friday as London Dreams. I hope neither of the films suffers,” Vipul has his fingers crossed.

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.
