Sanjay Dutt is taking politics very seriously.

He is temporarily planning to move from Mumbai to Lucknow.

He clearly knows that politics is a full time occupation and a house in Lucknow would make it easier for him to campaign for the elections.

He has, in fact, narrowed down on two properties in the centre of the city with full modern facilities. He’s now waiting for Manyata to agree.

Apparently, she wants to move into some purani haveli instead of a big house.

We know by now that lady Dutt’s decision will be final!

Salman Khan turns down a Sooraj Barjatya film

Salman Khan and Sooraj Barjatya together have created the now famous character of Prem in films like Maine Pyar Kiya and Hum Aapke Hain Kaun.

Sooraj’s last hit film Vivaah starred Shahid Kapur.
But this time round he approached Salman with the script for his next film – a sweet family drama in typical Rajshri style.

Salman sat through the story session, but felt that the lead of the film had to be someone younger and that he was not meant for the role.

However, Sooraj told him that he wanted Salman to do one of the support roles.

A source says, “Salman was not impressed with the role offered to him and said no straight off.

He also told Sooraj that come what may in his career, he would never do silly character roles. He feels that if he did so, he would be betraying his fans as they still want him to do the main leads.”

Shahid uses the ‘F’ word

His role in Kaminey requires Shahid to say ‘f’ instead of ‘s’.

So Shahid took lessons to lisp and stammer from leading ENT surgeon Dr Prabodh Karnik, so that he could play the character convincingly.

Vishal Bhardwaj, director of Kaminey, wanted to leave no stone unturned to present reality.

So he took Shahid to Dr Karnik.

Shahid plays a double role in the film - Charlie lisps and Guddu stammers.

Vishal confirmed the news about meeting Dr Karnik and said that it was a good learning experience that would bring the film closer to reality.

Shahid said that after meeting Dr Karnik, he got a better understanding of speech impairments and this would definitely help him keep his character real.

Meanwhile, Shahid Kapur's Yamaha MT 01 bike was the focus of all attention at Yash Raj Studios.

The fan brigade consisted of Ranbir Kapoor, Imran Khan and Abhishek Bachchan. "An excited Abhishek Bachchan even called John to have a dekko at the bike.

John was shooting a promo for New York in the same building and rushed down to see it," said a witness.

John has always been a bike freak.

"John loved the mean machine and kept staring at it. The bike had become a hot topic of discussion among the boys.

The guys took turns to feel and sit on the bike.

John also rode it!”
