Now that Sanjay Dutt and Salman Khan are under the police eye, Bollywood is finding itself in a great jeopardy. Who can replace the two of the most countable actors? The question has shaken quiet a few. “They are cult figures and they have a certain equation with the audience which makes them indispensible,” says David Dhawan.

Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik roshan, the other countable stars have their hands full. So the only ones remaining are Amir Khan, Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgan, John Abraham and Saif Ali Khan. Will they be able to deliver more number of quality acts than they usually do? So the hope remains on the recent comers Riteish Deshmukh, Sharman Joshi and the debutant Ranbir Kapoor and the likes. Let us see who grabs the show now that there are two great holes in the closely knit competition.

In his most candid interview till date, superstar Salman Khan has talked of his ‘evil’ side and about how, when he wants something, he can find a way that is ‘not clean’ to get it.

Salman was baring his heart on the TIMES NOW show ‘Frankly Speaking’, and in response to a question as to how he had changed in the last 18 years since his film debut.

“I have grown a little bit with a bit of maturity”, he said, “If I have to do something then I can find out a way that is not a clean way. If I want to get something or I want to do something, then I can scheme, I can plan. So I have my own problems in my mind, I could get vicious. It is my conscious effort to control that and not to go to the evil side.”

When told that everyone has a evil side, Salman said, “I have got a tremendous evil side that I don’t like. I know this is good, this is bad, and what the right way is. And that is my constant battle, my constant fight with myself.”

Salman also spoke extensively for the first time about grappling with the prospect of going to jail again, in the black buck case. The film star, whose career has been riddled with controversies, said he had even “stopped going to parties” because “he would get into trouble every time”.

“When people say that they are so lonely I want to ask them what they mean. I mean, who is better than you spending time alone. Being lonely is when nobody wants to be with you. Being alone is your choice. I’d rather be alone than be lonely. I have been to jail a couple of times. I never got bored of me,” said Salman, an interesting comment especially at a time when there is intense speculation about his imminent marriage with girlfriend Katrina Kaif.

Comparing himself to the other two Khans’, Salman said that he is much more “chilled out” and that the others work too hard. “Shahrukh is very very dedicated very hard working. Aamir is ten times as hard working than Shahrukh can be. As for me, I am chilled out. I have fun when I do my movies. I want to enjoy myself, if you are in the entertainment business you cannot take this so seriously.”

On a lighter note, when his habit of taking off his shirt, was compared to Saurav Ganguly taking off his shirt at the Lords cricket stadium in London, Salman had some advice for the former India captain.

“Sourav should not have done it. I mean, you must have something to show. Come on, Sourav Ganguly taking off his shirt!” he laughed.

Don’t miss the most candid interview of Salman Khan ever only on TIMES NOW’s Frankly Speaking with Arnab Goswami on Sunday.

Last week actor Salman Khan headed out of the country when former girlfriend Aishwarya Rai married Abhishek Bachchan. His secretary Vikas had said that Khan was in Dubai for "some personal work", and it was assumed that he was there to keep current girlfriend Katrina Kaif company (she's shooting for Abbas Mustan's Race). However, the real reason the actor was overseas is because he was due for the next session of hair weaving, needed to be done following his hair transplant procedure last year! "Salman left for Dubai last week to start the second phase of the hair transplant procedure. Salman underwent hair weaving in Dubai with an American surgeon" said a source."

Khan returned to Mumbai yesterday, after spending some time under observation in Dubai. Last year, too, Salman had gone to Dubai for a hair transplant, but the surgery didn't turn out well. This prompted him to shave his hair off, pushing back the schedule of films like Jaan-E-Mann, Partner and God Tussi Great Ho (owing to continuity purposes). To give the star some balding company, his hairstylists, Darshan and Aalim, his cook Jaffer, make-up guy Raju and even his spot boy Mohan went bald so he wouldn't feel like the odd man out. Sallu then went for another hair transplant procedure some months later, and thankfully, it turned out fine this time around!

Did you hear a multi-starer after Salaam-E-Ishq? You didn’t? then here it is- Sameer Karnik’s next film will have Salman Khan, Preity Zinta, Sohail Khan, Amrita Arora, Sunny and Bobby Deol, Mithun Chakroborty and Vatsal Sheth. Oh…that’s a long list! Karnik had drifted into oblivion after ‘Kyon, Ho Gaya Na…?’ but will come back with two of his film readying for the release- Nanhe Jaisalmer (Bobby Deol starer) and Roshan. The multi-starer film will be called ‘Mera Bharat Mahan’. No, it won’t be a patriotic film. It can be said third in the trilogy- Nanhe Jaisalmer is based on belief, Roshan is based on hope and MBM is based on pride. The film is about a road trip taken by some youngsters and they’re trying to figure the logic behind the logo on every truck or lorry that they pass, which says, ‘Mera Bharat Mahaan’.” Let’s hope this movie has than just promises to offer the audience.
