When Katrina Kaif failed to blow whistles for a sequence in her item song in "Bodyguard", guess who came to her aid? Her former beau Salman Khan!

Katrina, who features in the second half of the song "Aaya re aaya bodyguard', was uncomfortable when she was asked to blow six whistles in the song. She couldn't whistle at all!

But Salman helped her out, tells a source from the sets.

In fact, it was Salman, who blew the whistle for Katrina in the song. The two continue to share a warm relationship despite parting from each other.

"Bodyguard", which features Kareena Kapoor as the leading lady, releases Aug 31.

The actor has turned to acupuncture for healing


Don't be surprised if you land on a set to see Salman Khan covered in prickly needles all over. We are told that the beefy actor has taken to this art of healing and uses acupuncture to ward off any pain in his body. Rather than using anti-biotics and traditional methods of treatment, Salman finds better results with acupuncture. Recently a source spotted the actor with needles pierced on his entire face on the sets of an up coming film.


Those close to the actor are aware that he fully trusts his doctor who visits any film set that he's shooting. The source says, "Salman is averse to using pills and tablets. He was recently in huge pain but despite that he shot continuously for Bodyguard and also the new season of Bigg Boss. Ever since the use of acupuncture he has found his pain to subside."


Salman is looking the best he has in years and he's in great shape. He's not only cut down on his intake of cigarettes but also alcohol. He feels that his audience has huge expectations from him which he should meet.

The leading lady of Bodyguard was unhappy that Katrina Kaif was roped in to add oomph to her film. So now Kareena has got herself a ‘hot’ romantic song with Salman Khan!

After Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone, Kareena Kapoor has now developed insecurities about another contemporary actor, Katrina Kaif. We hear that the leading lady of Bodyguard sent out feelers to the makers of the Salman Khan-starrer for a ‘hot’ song featuring her and the Dabangg dude. 

Apparently, this happened after Salman danced to an item number with ex-girlfriend-but-still-a-friend Katrina. After the success of Sheila ki jawani, Kat has become hot property. And as per hearsay the Kapoor gal, who has a strong competitive spirit, wants to ensure she too shows off her hotness quotient in the film. At last the rivalry between the two ladies is out in the open! A few days ago, Salman and Kareena shot a hardcore Bollywood romantic rain song, picturised on the theme track Teri meri prem kahani. And word is that Kareena is looking super-sexy in this one.

It would not be wrong to say (even if Kareena doesn’t like to hear it) that Kat is fast becoming the next choice for the ‘reigning queen of Bollywood’ tag. The Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara gal’s consistent performance at the box office and her hardworking attitude has made her part of the A-list actors’ coterie. And one of the current leading ladies of Bollywood, Kareena seems to have a lot more than just work on her plate (impending wedding to beau Saif Ali Khan) right now. Letting go of that coveted position is not an easy thing to do, especially in an industry where married female actors have great difficulty in landing plum roles. No wonder the queen bee is insecure of her successor. 

This is not the first time two actors cast in the same film have had jealousy pangs. Remember when Kangna Ranaut was worried if Priyanka Chopra would overshadow her in Madhur Bhandarkar’s Fashion? Though they appeared friendly the two shared cold vibes on the sets. And there was a time when Karan Johar had great trouble dealing with friends-turned-foes Rani Mukerji and Preity Zinta while filming Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna

At last here’s some goss to reinstate the age-old belief that two female actors can never be comfortable around each other, forget being friends!

Much is being said about Katrina Kaif and Salman Khan's item number 'Aaya re aaya bodyguard' for the film Bodyguard.

For some more dope on the song... We hear Katrina Kaif has worn a black ghaghra and sexy choli with a silver piping and has shaken her leg with a suit-booted Salman Khan.

A source from the sets informs us, "Katrina was insistent that she practise well. She has set a standard for herself with 'Sheila Ki Jawani', and wishes to surpass that. Katrina took extra pains to ensure that her dance steps were sexy but graceful and that she looked good."

Co-producer Atul Agnihotri said that shooting the song was a smooth process. "Everyone seemed to be happy, and having a good time. There was so much energy, and the beats of the song only added to it all. We all tried to make Shera feel special. He is bhai's bodyguard after all, and has served him well for so many years. Katrina was superb, and Bhai, well, words fall short."

Kareena Kapoor is caught in the crossfire between Bollywood's arch rival superstars Salman and Shah Rukh Khan.

Her latest film Bodyguard, co-starring Salman, is slated to be this year's big Eid release when it opens on August 31. Naturally, Salman wants her to be around for the film's promotional activities around the time.
The catch is Kareena will be in Dubai on August 31 because she is already committed to perform at SRK's live show at the emirate state, on the occasion of Eid.

If the buzz in Bollywood is to be believed, Salman is upset with the situation but he has not openly revealed his displeasure.

"August 31 happens to be a Wednesday. Salman has broken the tradition of a Friday release to ensure Bodyguard opens on Eid which will fall either on Wednesday or on Thursday. But if Kareena flies off to Dubai she will miss the final publicity campaign stint, which has become vital for every big-budget film these days," said an industry source.

For Salman, Eid has been very lucky lately. In 2009, his film Wanted released during the Eid weekend and was a superhit. Last year, Dabangg opened during Eid and ended up as the biggest blockbuster of 2010.
"Salman wants to leave no stone unturned for Bodyguard 's success. Kareena's absence could be a problem since it has been primarily pitched as a romantic comedy," the source said.

For Kareena, however, performing in Dubai with SRK is equally important. Her next big release is Ra. One, this year's big Diwali release.

"Dubai happens to be one of SRK's biggest markets. It is important that the he builds up the right hype for Ra. One in Dubai. The live show is meant to kickstart the film's publicity campaign," said the source.

At a recent do that she participated in with Salman, Kareena was asked which Khan she preferred and she promptly replied: "Salman Khan". Salman's retort was blunt. "She is like those smart kids," he said. "You ask the kid who he loves more - papa or mummy - in front of his mother and he says, 'mummy'. In front of the father, he will say, 'papa'."

Kareena Kapoor is all set to dance to Salman Khan's tune now. Salman, after all, has turned composer for their upcoming biggie Bodyguard, for a special rain song that will see Kareena do an oomphy jig in a wet orange sari.

The song, Teri Meri Prem Kahani, marks Salman's unofficial debut as a music director in Hindi films. The buzz is that the superstar is not too keen to have his name featured in the credits as a composer for Bodyguard. "The sexy number featuring Kareena and Salman was shot over the weekend in Mumbai's Film City. The makers plan to use the song during the end credits of the film," a unit source of the film said.

Incidentally, Kareena's wet orange sari look bears resemblance to her image in Zoobie Doobie, the rain song she did in the blockbuster 3 Idiots. Bodyguard, produced by Salman's brother-in-law Atul Agnihotri, has been in the news ever since it was launched over who composes music for the film. Initially, Bollywood's flavour of the season Pritam was signed up to score the film's music.

By the time Pritam finished composing his first song for Bodyguard, came the news that Salman had patched up with friend-turned-foe Himesh Reshammiyya. As a goodwill gesture, Salman invited Himesh to compose the remaining songs of the film, though he decided to retain Pritam's number too.

Finally, with only the rain song remaining, Salman said that he would compose the number. The buzz is that Salman came up with the basic tune and then sat down with Himesh for over two hours to finalise the song.

Over the recent past, Salman has been increasingly involved in various aspects of filmmaking beyond acting. He scripted his last year's dud Veer. Earlier this year, he is said to have ghost-edited the blockbuster Ready. And last month, he officially turned producer with the kiddie flick Chillar Party. Beyond Bollywood, apart from running his NGO Being Human, Salman is also an active painter.

Bodyguard is Salman's big Eid release this year. Over the past couple of years, the Eid weekend has been lucky for the actor, with Wanted in 2009 and Dabangg in 2010 ending up as blockbusters after opening around the auspicious day.

Recently, Salman's 'good friend' Katrina Kaif did a special item number for the film. The dance, featuring Katrina along with Salman, was picturised on the title song of the film, Aaya Re Aaya Bodyguard. Meanwhile, reports coming in suggest Salman and Atul are racing against time to complete the film on time for its release on August 31.

"The post-production has been slightly delayed because Salman has been extremely busy with various activities over the past few weeks. But the film will release on time," a source said.

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!

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.

Shera with Salman Khan
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."


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.

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 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 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
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."
