‘Bodyguard’ Not Causing ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ Delay

The rumour around Bollywood is that shooting for Salman Khan's much anticipated ‘Ek Tha Tiger’, starring his ex-girlfriend Katrina Kaif, which was supposed to start in July has now been postponed to mid-Aug mainly due to Salman's busy schedule for ‘Bodyguard’ and to give more time to Bodyguard in theaters !

Yash Raj is refuting this rumour saying that Ek Tha Tiger is expected to start around mid-August, but it has nothing to do with Bodyguard.

Since Bodyguard is expected to release in early Aug, it is said that releasing Ek Tha Tiger during the same time will cause a clash.

Sources close to Salman Khan also refute this saying that shooting of Ek Tha Tiger cannot be completed within one month or so and the question of the two movies clashing is irrelevant. 

However, Salman Khan fans need not be disappointed as they can expect to see a lot of their favorite star since after Bodyguard, there will be Ek Tha Tiger!

Shera with Salman in 'Bodygaurd' item song

First Salman Khan's former girlfriend, actress Katrina Kaif, was roped in for the Bodyguard item number and now his security aide Shera has shot for the much-talked about song. 

Shera will not only feature in Bodyguard Item Song, but he will also be seen dancing and grooving with Salman. 

"Yes, I have shot for the song with Salman bhai and all this seems like a magic. Salman bhai is such a huge star and for someone like him showing such trust in me is nothing short of a miracle," Shera, who has been with Salman for more than 15 years, said in a statement. 

"In front of the whole world, he said that this is my most trusted man. Isn't that great?

"This is the first time I will be in front of the camera with Salman bhai doing this item song. He just showed me some dance steps and I did a lot of rehearsal before the final take. It was scary and I was nervous. I will never forget this experience," he added. 

Recently Salman had also made Shera unveil the first look of Bodyguard. 

The film, directed by Siddique and produced by Atul Agnihotri, is a remake of the director's 2010 Malayalam film, Bodyguard. It is scheduled for an 31st August release.

Salman Khan's bodyguard dances to his tunes

Salman Khan has taken the subject of his film Bodyguard literally. First, the actor made his off-screen bodyguard, Shera, unveil the first look of the film.

Now, he has decided to feature Shera in the film's soundtrack video. When contacted, Shera said, "Yes, I am currently shooting for the song. Yeh sab kuch chamatkar se kam nahi hai mere liye.

Salman bhai is such a huge star and for someone like him showing such trust in me is nothing short of a miracle. In front of the whole world, he said that this is my most trusted man.

Isn't that great?" Shera also told Mumbai Mirror that he is apprehensive about the dance. "Salmanbhai just showed me some steps and I am rehearsing for that.

It is scary and I am nervous. I have given a couple of interviews in the past, but I am better off behind the camera." added Shera. When asked about Salman's comment about the doom the actor would face if Shera ever wrote a book on him, Shera said, "Never. This is one thought which has never occurred to me. I cannot break his trust. He said all these things in jest and I would like to keep it that way."

And now, Salman to join Katrina for an Item song

Aaya re aaya bodyguard…. that’s the item song which Katrina would be joyously gyrating to in Bodyguard. Even as Katrina gears up for the challenge of outdoing her Sheila ki jawaani number she has a bigger challenge to meet up to.

Salman Khan, aka the King Of All He Surveys, will also be part of the song. Apparently he reasoned that since the song is about his character, Bodyguard ka hona to haq banta hai, boss. Now Ganesh Acharya has been asked to incorporate Salman into Katrina’s elaborate item number.

Apparently Salman wants the number structured like Sheila ki jawaani where Akshay Kumar joins Katrina. That is easier said than done.

Says a source, “Salman likes to do his own thing in the dance numbers. Everyone knows in Munni badnam he didn’t follow Farah Khan’s instructions. Katrina will be rigorously rehearsing her steps for Aaya re aaya bodyguard.

She wants it to be as perfect as Sheila ki jawaani. Salman’s improvisations are bound to distract her. But the there is not much she can do about it. Because as Salman pointed out the song is about about him, so he has to be part of it. ”

Bodyguard producer Atul Agnihotri confirms that Salman would be part of Katrina’s item number.

Who is Kareena's favourite Khan?

Salman Khan was as usual his ebullient self at the first look launch of his film Bodyguard yesterday at a suburban multiplex.

It was unveiled by his bodyguard Shera. At the event, when his co-star Kareena Kapoor was asked who was her favourite among the three Khans, she gave a politically correct answer saying Salman.

To which Sallu quickly retorted, "When you ask a child who he likes better -- mummy or daddy. The child will say mummy in front of the mother and daddy in front of father."

When asked that Shah Rukh Khan had danced on one of his songs recently at an event, so did it signal a patch up? Salman passed the question to Bebo saying "Kareena will answer the question because she is very close to SRK!" Hmmm..

PS: After the event, Sallu's sis Alvira (wife of Bodyguard producer Atul Agnihotri) was seen shopping at a cosmetics store!

Salman's aide launches promo of Bodyguard

Salman Khan knows how to make people close to him feel special. The actor Thursday asked Shera, his bodyguard for 15 years, to launch the promo of his upcoming film "Bodyguard".

"This is a very big honour that bhai (Salman) has given me by giving me an opportunity to release his film's promo. I have been with bhai for 15 years now. I used to tell bhai that I can take a bullet for him. But the reality is that he protects his close ones so much that even he can take a bullet for them. He is the real life bodyguard, " Shera told reporters here.

The actor, who was also present at the event, said: "I can trust him with everything - with money, girls, family and even my life. He is very trustworthy. Apart from guarding me, his duty has also been to go with every girl who has been in my life. I knew he will take good care of them wherever they go."

"Bodyguard" is romantic action film directed by Siddique and it is a remake of the director's 2010 Malayalam movie of the same name. The film is being produced by Atul Agnihotri and is slated to release Aug 13. Kareena Kapoor plays the female lead in it.

She was all praise for Shera and Salman.

"Shera has known me since I was 10 years old. And today, he is launching the promo of my film. He has known me before I was an actress, so it is a very special moment. It's all thanks to Salman, " said the actress.

Salman's the most sacrificing: Shera

Salman Khan invited his real life bodyguard Shera to launch the music of his forthcoming film 'Bodyguard'.

Shera was touched by Salman bhai's kind gesture. As he thanked Salman at the event he couldn't stop himself from unveiling Salman Khan, the man and not the actor to the world.

"It was kind of him (Salman) to give me an opportunity to launch the trailer of his film 'Bodyguard'. At first I couldn't believe it. I have been working with Salman bhai for the past 15 years. He is family and I will most happily take every bullet if at all fired at him as his bodyguard.

Although, I'd like to say, Salman Khan is the person who can sacrifice his all for the people he loves. He can give his life for us and that is what makes him special," revealed an emotional Shera.

Now that's really a special bond the two share, we say.

Salman Khan's Bodyguard to unveil first look of his film

For 15 years, he has willingly risked his own life and vowed to take a bullet for Salman Khan. And now, the actor is paying him back his dues. Deciding to take a back seat himself, Salman has asked his real life bodyguard Shera to unveil the first look of his film Bodyguard at a Juhu multiplex, this evening.

It all started with Salman suddenly approaching Atul Agnihotri (producer of Bodyguard), with his new concept. Though Agnihotri was sceptical at first, he reluctantly agreed to Salman's terms. Shera was caught off guard by the overwhelming offer from the star.

It took quite a while for Shera to get a grasp of the situation. When he got hold of his nerves, he told Salman that it is indeed an honour for him, and he shall fulfill Salman's wish.

Though it comes as a surprise to Shera, this surely isn't the first time that Salman has decided to take care of his bodyguard. Previously, Salman Khan turned down a whopping Rs 7 crore offer to wear a certain security company's uniform in Bodyguard. Instead he opted for his own personal bodyguard's brand.

When contacted, Shera told Mumbai Mirror, "I couldn't believe it at first. It felt surreal. I had to pinch myself to make sure that this indeed was real. Salmanbhai's wish is my command.

Salmanbhai has always taken care of me and this gesture just proves that how great a human being he is. He is family to me. I owe everything to him."

Salman Khan pays for 200 cataract operations

Salman Khan has been stationed in Patiala for the shooting of his film Bodyguard for over a month. 

Our source says that Salman has totally fallen in love with Patiala.

The Army has been very helpful to him and his unit by way of making them feel welcome and safe and he has grown to respect the men in uniform. 

As a return gesture the star conducted a medical camp in the state. He got as many as 200 cataract operations done at a medical camp around the Golden Temple Amritsar by flying down a team of expert eye doctors from Mumbai.

Salman has also promised the local army that if they ever need him for a cause,he will always be there.
