Ranbir follows Salman-Akshay

Like Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar who are known for sitting on the edit of their films, even Ranbir sits on edit of his item song.

Ranbir Kapoor is a bundle of nerves these days! The sexy bachelor who is all geared up for his item number in the upcoming film Chillar Party , is getting pre-release jitters and is getting deeply involved with the edit sessions to leave no stone unturned to perfect the final cut.

This is for the first time that Ranbir Kapoor will be seen doing an item number. It is heard that although Ranbir is very happy with the final dance number choreographed by Bosco Caesar, he wants to sit and watch the song once again, this time under full scrutiny, and make sure that every little move is impeccable and fun to watch. "Ranbir is taking all this pain to make sure that his first item number doesn't meet any glitches and wins him the audience's applauds", says a unit-hand from the film.

Interestingly, Ranbir will be seen shaking a leg or two as a 'Tapori' in the song, where he will be seen dancing for the kids. In fact Ranbir is dedicating this dance number of Chillar Party to father Rishi Kapoor's character in Amar Akbar Anthony and although the genre of this song is completely different with kids involved as well, Ranbir doesn't want his first item song to be included in the league of the current sensation created by Deepika and Katrina but instead in the league of the yesteryears legends, Jeetendra and Mithun.

Salman's jungle film in 3D

Imagine Salman Khan's too-hot-to-handle abs. And now imagine it in 3D. Beating the other Khans, Salman has now decided to go three dimensional in his next film Sher Khan.

"First of all I am not playing Tarzan in the film and it has got nothing to do with the character at all. It is an adventure film based in a jungle," clarified Salman Khan about his next endeavour with his brother Sohail.

While he dismisses any link to the famous man of the jungle in Sher Khan, the brothers are reportedly toying with the idea of making the film in 3D.

Our source told us, "It is Sohail's idea to make it in 3D. However, Salman bhai is still in two minds about this. Shooting in 3D is very difficult and going by the standards of special effects expected these days, the Khan brothers want everything to be sorted before they take the final call.

However, Sohail is quite confident given his technical finesse. He is known to be very hands-on, as far as his films are concerned. Plus the film is a jungle adventure and so it will be fun watching the film, if it is in 3D."

When asked about his scepticism to make the film in 3D, Salman explained, "As far as 3D goes, I am not sure. We are definitely thinking about it. However, 3D films have not worked in India and I am not too sure about its market."

When contacted, Sohail said, "I am still working on the script and only after the script develops, we will decide if it has 3D scope or not."

The historical fascination with 3D in India dates back to the release of James Cameron's action- adventure sci-fi, Avatar, in 2009. The stereoscopic film was a breakthrough in cinematic technique and so ever since then, Bollywood filmmakers have been eager to follow suit.

While most of the 3D projects have fallen through, two have managed to go as planned. Vikram Bhatt's Haunted, which released on April 15, is India's first next generation stereoscopic 3D film. And Shirish Kunder's Joker is the next 3D film to be released.
Considering the professional roll that Sallu has been on, we wonder if Sohail will let his brother take the final call.

Zarine, Sonakshi's cat fight!

Last week after the music launch of Ready, Salman Khan decided to hold an impromptu bash at his house.

Leading lady Asin, as well as Zarine Khan who has done an item song in the film, got the invitation at the venue itself. Others received calls from Salman to join in the celebrations. Sonakshi Sinha joined the revellers at the Dabangg actor's pad later that night.

It has been reported that Sonakshi is super possessive about the actor and doesn't like other actresses cosying upto him. But this time she made a show of her anger. An eye-witness reveals, "She pushed Zarine, while walking past her, and then pretended that she hadn't even realised it!" It is known that Salman has a soft spot for both Sonakshi as well as Zarine and has been recommending their names to filmmakers. He is partial to them because they debuted with him — Zarine in Veer and Sona in Dabangg.

The insider continues, "It was such a sight. We thought a catfight would break out. We didn't know where to look and whether to laugh. When Sona first walked in, she walked past Zarine, without greeting her. Later when she saw that ZK was bonding with Salman and he was introducing her to all her friends, the Dabangg girl couldn't hide her irritation. Also the fact that Sallu got his buddy Sajid Nadiadwala to cast Zarine in Housefull 2 was still bothering her. Never mind the fact that he was instrumental in getting her a role in Shirish Kunder's Joker. Sonakshi sees Zarine as a rival for Salman's affections and young and spunky that she is, the Shotgun Junior (as she calls herself) decided to literally push her out of her way.

Interestingly, Salman was busy with his other friends and did not see her push the Veer girl. When Zarine reacted, Sonakshi told her it was "an accident. Not done intentionally". We want to believe Sonakshi, but we remember her cold vibes with Sallu's ex Katrina Kaif. Now Zarine is at the receiving end. While Zarine remained unavailable for comment, Sonakshi
denied the incident.

Salman Khan editing Ready

The fight on the sets of Ready in Bangkok, which drove the director Anees Bazmee back home, was just a start. Looks like Salman Khan, the lead actor of the film is quite jittery after the fate of the filmmakers last two films at the box office.

Leaving nothing to chance, Salman Khan is personally overlooking the final edit of the film. Needless to say, after two consecutive superhits, Wanted and Dabangg, the actor wants nothing to go wrong with his career.

Reportedly, the big boss is having the film edited at his own post- production facility Sight and Sound to keep a vigilant eye on the process.

A source explained, "While he is busy with his shoots for Bodyguard, he has his trusted people checking on the progress. As soon as he gets done with the shoots, he heads to the facility himself, where he personally oversees the edits."

When contacted, Bazmee did not dismiss Khan's involvement with the post production work but however, underplayed the actor's efforts. He said, "He is excited about the film and has been keeping a close watch. But he does not sit for the edits.

He is shooting for Bodyguard, from morning to night, and does not have the time to sit for edits. However, since he asked, I sent him a portion of the cut, which he returned with his suggestions." When questioned if Ready is being edited at Sight and Sound, he denied, saying, "We are editing at a facility owned by T series and not at Salman bhai's production facility."

Khan previously edited his film Dabangg.

Salman Khan loves Ranbir Kapoor

During an exclusive tete-a-tete with zoOm about the new breed of actors in the industry, Salman Khan candidly said, "From the younger lot,

I think both Ranbir and Imran are superb. They're super talented and they're here to stay". When we probed further he said, "I think after Aamir, SRK and me, they are the next superstars.

My character isn't dheela: Salman

The song Character Dheela from Salman Khan's forthcoming film Ready is already making waves.

However, the chartbuster doesn't flatter our hunk. At the recently held Ready music launch, when asked if he can relate himself with the Character Dheela song, Salman replied, "Ask Asin. She has the first hand experience."

Asin was caught unguarded and couldn't think of anything to say. The lady, who is romantically paired opposite Salman in the film, flaunted a big smile and returned the mike to Salman.

The Khan finally said, "No, I can't relate to the song. My character isn't dheela and I am a very shareef insaan."

Looking at the history and number of Salman's love relationships, one might think that the song is penned on him. But it seems Sallu wants to set the record straight and make it clear that Character Dheela isn't his story.

It can be recalled that during the release of Jaane Tu.... Ya Jaane Na rumours were abuzz that the song Pappu Can't Dance is based on Salman. However, Aamir Khan later stepped in and cleared the controversy.

No SRK, Karan wants Salman!

The last time Salman Khan worked on a Dharma Productions' film was in the college love saga Kuch Kuch Hota Hai way back in 1998.

After thirteen years, a bad fight with Dharma loyalist Shah Rukh and a couple of comeback hits Wanted and Dabangg, the original bad boy of Bollywood seems to have got a second chance with Karan Johar's production house.

The ice probably broke when KJo asked Salman to be a part of his talk show. The actor agreed to do so for a price, they had to make a donation to his foundation. Though the filmmaker denied paying up for a celebrity on his show back then, he approached the Khan for the next Dharma venture to be directed by Rensil D'Silva.

Considering KJo's association with his favourite Shah Rukh and Salman's disassociation with the King Khan, this piece of news should have been surprising. However, with the filmmaker stretching his professional interests beyond his favourite Khan with Varun Dhawan starring in his next directorial venture Student Of The Year, the filmmaker approaching the other Khan becomes understandable.

According to a source, "After Kurbaan, Rensil is directing a fantasy-action caper on the lines of Ocean's Eleven. When Karan Johar heard the script, he absolutely fell in love with it. Both Karan and Rensil felt Salman was perfect for the main part."

However, even after repeated attempts, Rensil D'Silva remained unavailable for comment.
