SALMAN KHAN
The best time to shoot the Salman Khan says a producer is at 7 am, straight after an all-night drinking binge. Not only is he on time, he is also in a cheerful mood, which for those around the temperamental star is most welcome Khan the best Looker among the troika of Khan’s who have ruled Bollywood through much of the 1990’s and 2000’s is one of the few living on the edge bad boys in politically correct Bollywood Drinking assaulting women, killing endangered species and even it is alleged running over pedestrians while driving under the influence of alcohol Khan has been associated with many an out-of-control indulgence, with much photographed and played-out-on-live television visits to police stations and law courts as a consequence of these acts.While he may not be a pioneer in his mad bad ways- that dubious honour belongs to his older colleague and on-off friend Sanjay Dutt Khan is an unusual survivor in the competitive New Bollywood . He is not given ti researching his character doing readings or even working on a distinct look for every character. But he is particular about the roles the chooses. He does not believe in experimenting with the hero image which is a reason why he did not agree to play the role of an evil avenger in Baazigar (Risk0taker, 1993) a role that solidifies Shah Rukh Khan’s. He does not believe in saying no to people close to him, which is one of the reasons why he has made a serious of movies with friend such as producer sajid Nadiadwala (Jeet (Victory 1996) , Judwaa (Twind 1997, Har dil jo pyar karega 2006, Mujhse shaadi karogi 2004, and jaan-e-maan 2006, and director Sanjay Leela Bhansali (Khamoshi 1996), Hum dil de chuke sanam 1999, and saawariya 2007. But that khan is also a man of several contradictions,The star of over seventy films simply in a two bedroom apartment in Suburban Mumbai just a floor below his parents: his father Salim Khan was one of half of the Salim Khan Javed Akhtar duo that wrote many of Amitabh Bachchan’s legendary hits Zanjeer 1973, deewar 1975, Sholay 1975, Trishul 1978. At first he wanted to be a writer hawking his script to various directors before deciding to act himself, starting as a second lead in Biwi ho to aisi 1988, He first leading role in Maine Pyar Kiya 1989, directed by his friend sooraj Barjatya, had him playing a young man who not let any obstacle stand in the way of his great love. The film with salman khan on a motorcycle his cap with the legend Friend inscribed on it and his leather jackets established him as a long-lashed doe-eyed hunk, who may be short on inches but not sex appeal. Subsequent films such as Karan Arjun 1995, where he played a gritty prizefighter added working-class credibility to his diaspora appeal Hum aapke hai kaun 1994, and the salman khan myth his movies worked at the box office never mind his unruly behaviour was born in a city that worships success.After Veergati 1995, which makes his first shirtless appearance Khan also discovered body-building which gave his lover boy image some muscle and allowed him to make his mandatory shirt off scene his trademark-no salman khan film could be complete without the hero stripping off his shirt. Body-building is a discipline to which he is addicted. He works out to hours a day six days a week and this couple with his alleged fondness for mafia toughs Gopal Verma’s edgy underworld drama, Company woman found irresistible offscreen. Each of his high-profile relationships has been plagued with accusations of violence and harassment whether it was with model sangeeta bijlani. World and now well known actress Aishwarya Rai His attitude to such tumultuous happening has been a simple shrug. sometimes wrong things happen and you have to pay for them. His on screen image has been unsullied though. As he has often said I Khan has been all good things to all audience in a career that started 1989. He has been the loyal lover of Khamoshi a fun loving purple suited madcap in judwaa 1997, and the decent guy who steps aside for the man his fiancee loves in Kuch kuch hota hai 1998. For someone who seems to court only trouble in his personal life, Khan has shown remarkable resilience in his carrier, Radhika Rao and vinay sapru co-director of Lucky No time for love 2005, of Nikhil advani Salaam-e-ishq 2007, His friends are of all ages from producer Boney Kapoor son arjun to american director Willard Carroll Most filmmaker ousted from other cliques in Bollywood notoriously campridden industry usually find him a first port of call produced by karan johar Kal ho naa ho 2003, or actress directors Revathy from whom he played an Aids patient in Phir Milenge 2004, Film maker Rakesh Roshan made a smashing debut Kano Naa Pyaar Hai 2000.Khan has a stand off relationship with the media which he has often accused of being against him, and he has not helped matters by being boorish and uncommunicative when interviewed. with the media to promote his movies but also to clarify allegations against him. Even at forty-two he is perhaps the only khan who can still be called a boy. Though his peter pan charm has worked on screen everyone agrees ge could be a more reasonable human being. But then perhaps he would not be as entertaining or fascinating
