This Tiger is certainly burning bright. Salman Khan is riding high over a slew of blockbusters, and the credit goes to no one else but him. He is undeniably at the peak of his career, and every producer is vying to have him in his film. The latest rumour to grip the tinsel ville is that the actor is offered Rs 100 crore to sign a film with Ramesh Taurani of Tips.
OMG! 100 crore? That’s way past the budget of many films made in Bollywood. Though incredulous, the grapevine suggests that such a hefty paycheck has been offered to Salman! The actor, who demands a share in the film’s profit, has many other producers visiting him with their prospective films.
A source tells a tabloid that as expected Ek Tha Tiger is doing an incredible business at the BO and many filmmakers are seen outside Salman’s residence to make a film with him. “A couple of days back, he (Taurani) met Salman and offered him Rs 100 crore for a film. Taurani is aware that the actor’s last three films have done business near to Rs 150 crore net and that’s why he is ready to take the gamble,” the source is quoted as saying.
However, Taurani denies having made the exorbitant offer. Though he has signed the actor for the film, which will be on the floors in 2013, Taurani insists that the amount reported is not right. May be the producer wants to be discreet, but one thing is certain: if Sallu is on board, there is every chance of the film being a superhit, and everyone, from big producers to small-time filmmakers, is aware of it.
Check out the list of people, who are waiting for Salman Khan’s nod: Vijay Galani, UTV-Disney, Studio 18, Sajid Nadiadwala, Sooraj Bharjatya, Rajkumar Santoshi, Subhash Ghai and Yash Chopra. Apart from these filmmakers,Farhan Akhtar, Farah Khan and Karan Johar have also expressed their desire to work with Salman.
