1. Salman Khan Ignores Ranbir But Talks to Katrina?

According to grapevine Salman Khan royally ignored Ranbir Kapoor at Sonam Kapoor’s Diwali party recently. But the goss doesn’t end there, as per sources, while Salman chose to ignore ex-flame Katrina Kaif’s current boyfriend, he didn’t hesitate to get into a long chat with Kat herself. So from the looks of it, while Salman still has some axe to grind with Ranbir, he and Katrina seem to have made peace.

2. Sooraj Barjatya Made Prem Ratan Dhan Payo Only For Salman

In a detailed interview, filmmaker Sooraj Barjatya recently revealed that there was a deeper motive in choosing Salman Khan as his hero in Prem Ratan Dhan Payo.

This film is only for him (Salman). I wanted to make people idolise him in a film where he could change people. If a youngster says he wants to show this film to his mother, grandmother, and in-laws, that will be my biggest victory. Salman bhai wanted to do Saif Ali Khan’s role in <i>Hum Saath Saath Hai</i>, but I told him ‘We need to try something different’. He agreed and I think Salman Khan as Prem was the best part about <i>Hum Saath Saath Hai</i>. In the film, Salman Bhai as Prem questions the poverty in our country and in <i>Prem Ratan Dhan Payo</i> he has the answer to all the questions Prem asks in <i>Hum Saath Saath Hai</i>. PRDP is all about what Ratan and Dhan mean to us.
