l don’t take stardom seriously: Salman Khan

Superstar Salman Khan says he lives his life in the present and does not take his celebrity status seriously. Asked what he wants to achieve in life, Salman told the media: “I live my life moment to moment.

If I can make this moment the best one, I know I will get something out of it…

“As an actor I’m doing my job. The persona you are seeing on screen is a contribution of more than 100 people from the different departments like camera, make-up and lights. How can I take that madness that you guys (media and common people) call stardom so seriously? I don’t.” The “Dabangg” star, who has launched e-cycles under his Being Human brand, spoke on how difficult it was for him to play an innocent boy in his upcoming film “Tubelight”.

“(The) character in the film took me back to my school days. Sohail and I used to recollect so many memories of our childhood… Playing an innocent and pure character at an age when you are no more innocent, when you have experienced the corrupt world, was quite a task.”

Salman, who has previously collaborated with Kabir Khan in blockbusters like “Ek Tha Tiger” and “Bajrangi Bhaijaan”, said he was aware their styles were different.

“Our understanding of films is very different. His approach is more realistic, he comes from documentary filmmaking. On the other hand, I am into commercial Bollywood. Perhaps that is why when these two meet, a new style is born.”

However, he said he won’t work with Kabir if a script is not good.Talking about the success of Aamir Khan’s “Dangal”, Salman said: “As long as no one is losing their money, I am happy. If the audience loves the film, I am happy.” Tubelight releases on June 25.

'Wonder Woman' dominates US box office

It took a long time for Wonder Woman to get her due.

Long after such male characters as Superman, Batman, Iron Man and even Aquaman and Ant-Man made the leap from comic books to the silver screen-and 76 years after she first appeared in print-“Wonder Woman” the film made a splashy debut this weekend on North American screens, netting just over $100 million.

The Warner Bros. and DC Comics film had generated a huge buzz, based partly on a critical reception that was unusually warm for a superhero film; it got a 93 percent rating on the Rotten Tomatoes website.

The movie was helped as well by the attraction of Israeli star Gal Gadot, known for her part in the popular “Fast and Furious” series, as the fit and fearless Amazonian.

The film’s estimated $100.5 million take for the three-day weekend helped director Patty Jenkins break another glass ceiling, with the best domestic opening for a female director.

And it placed the movie far above the second-leading film, another new release, “Captain Underpants: The First Epic movie,” which took in $23.5 million, according to website Exhibitor Relations.

“Underpants,” an animation from Fox, is a different kind of superhero movie: Based on a popular series of children’s books by Dav Pilkey, it tells the story of two students who use hypnosis to persuade the school’s principal he is a superhero.

In third place was Disney’s “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales,” the fifth installment in the popular franchise starring Johnny Depp. It took in $21.6 million, just over a quarter its previous week’s net.

In fourth was another Disney production, “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2,” at $9.7 million. The lighthearted story of a band of misfit space adventurers-played by Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Bradley Cooper and Vin Diesel-has taken in $355.5 million domestically since it opened on May 5.

“Baywatch,” a Paramount production starring Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron in a story about deeply tanned and ridiculously fit California lifeguards who uncover a murky criminal plot, placed fifth at $8.5 million.

Rounding out the top 10 were:

“Alien: Covenant” ($4.0 million)

“Everything, Everything” ($3.3 million)

“Snatched” ($1.3 million)

“Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul” ($1.2 million)

“King Arthur: Legend of the Sword” ($1.2 million)

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Anil Kapoor to reunite after 17 years!

It's been 18 years since Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Anil Kapoor were seen together in 'Taal'. Despite people absolutely loving their on-screen pairing in the Subhash Ghai flick, they only did one more movie together titled 'Humara Dil Aapke Paas Hai', which tanked miserably at the box-office.

But looks like the two stars are all set to reunite on the celluloid in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's next project after 17 years.

Last week we told you how Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has been roped in for the movie, and now if the reports are to be believed, then the makers are planning on casting Anil Kapoor alongside the 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' actress.

The movie titled 'Fanney Khan' was announced by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra last year, which also marks the directorial debut of Atul Manjrekar. The movie is co-produced by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, Arjun N Kapoor and Prernaa Arora.

" We go on the floors by the year-end. It is a happy, slice-of-life film.We approached Aishwarya for the part and are glad she agreed to come onboard ," Prernaa confirmed with a leading tabloid.

Industry grapevine suggested that the movie is based on the Hollywood musical comedy 'Everybody's Famous', but the makers confirmed that they are tweaking the script to cater to the Indian audience.

In an interview with a leading entertainment portal, Aishwarya had said, " The last six months post-November was a very strong experience personally that I went through. So I had kind of shut down to my professional world and I'm very glad on it. I've just started as of, literally, last week meeting with a couple of narrations again and I'm not just being cryptic but there are two that I've already, that's pretty quick right to say that I've already liked (laughs) and kind of open myself up too because it's the filmmakers when we do talk about, you'll know that why it was easy to nod in agreement because it's the filmmakers who I have known, I have worked with and I've known over a very long period so two ideas already kind of given a nod to. Now we have to see that it all works out schedule wise, very soon. I guess when I'm back we'll talk about it. "

There were also reports that the second movie that Ash has signed happens to be a Mani Ratnam project and she has also been approached to star opposite hubby Abhishek Bachchan in Anurag Kashyap's 'Gulab Jamun'. However, both the stars have not yet confirmed the reports of signing the latter project.
