Salman Khan not Ready to be College Boy

Salman Khan - Bollywood-News.IN
Bollywood Rock Star Salman Khan’s next film Ready is not quite ready to take off until the hero is comfortable with his character. For now, the film is through drastic screenplay alteration.

The Hindi remake of the 2008 Telugu Movie Ready which was directed by Srinu Vytla had the hero (Ram) playing a college student on a defiant rampage. but, 44-year-old Salman Khan would have none of that - he asked director Anees Bazmee to make changes to suit his age and image.

With shooting scheduled to start from June 15, Anees, who was busy shooting Thank You, had very little time to accommodate Salman Khan’s demands. But Salman Khan had made it clear he wouldn’t shoot until the changes were made.

In fact, Salman Khan’s embarrassment about not playing his age has been growing over the years. In Tere Naam, the remake of the Tamil blockbuster Sethu, Salman Khan’s role of a college student had to be justified by showing that he was an old student hanging out on the campus just to be with his friends (quite like Aamir Khan in Rang De Basanti ). But now Salman would rather play a character nearer his own age.

Anees Bazmee admitted he had to rewrite the original Telugu film. “We’ve changed the Hindi version of Ready drastically, and for the better. The hero in the Telugu film was 19 and a college student. Salman wasn’t comfortable playing that young a character. He will now play a guy who manages his father’s business. Salman Khan can’t play a college student any longer and he’s sensible enough to admit it.”

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.
