Salman's charitable organistation Being Human has written to jail authorities offering to help inmates, who have served their sentence but are still locked up because they cannot pay their fine due to poverty or some other reason.
Jail authorities have sent the letter to the legal section. Following their clearance a no objection certificate will be sought from the administration.
With their permission, the 'Bodyguard' star's foundation will submit about Rs 40 lakhs thereby freeing approximately 400 inmates from jails in the state.
"In about 63 jails in UP there are 400 such inmates who have completed their jail term but are still inside because they cannot pay fine due to financial problems," Vijay Kumar Gupta, IG Jail (UP), told PTI Bhasha.
When a convict is sentenced for a crime he is asked to pay a certain fine alongwith the jail term. If he is unable to pay the fine the prisoner may have to serve an additional term.
Salman himself has been involved in a few legal troubles. In 2002, the 46-year-old actor was arrested for rash and negligent driving after his car ran into a Mumbai bakery. Charges of culpable homicide were laid against him, but later dropped and he was found not guilty.

Hrithik Roshan and Salman Khan’s public spat in 2010 is back in talk. Hrithik, 38, has now called for truce, saying that he was wrong.
Ask him if has forgiven Salman for his comments, and the actor, who was in the Capital on Monday to promote his new film, Agneepath, says, “I was wrong there. Instead of choosing a public platform to retaliate, I should have picked up the phone and spoken to him (Salman) directly.”

So is he going to call Sallu now? “No. He is far beyond those things and so am I. Sometimes, you tend to say things in the heat of the moment but all that passes. I am not in the business of having fights.”

Meanwhile, Hrithik has also rubbished rumours about co-directing Krrish 3 with his father Rakesh Roshan. “Co-directing Krrish 3 with dad? That’s ridiculous!” scoffed the superstar

Mumbai: The 18th Annual Screen Awards had a big shocker in store for all Sallu fans. The 2011 ‘hit machine’ Salman Khan was not nominated in any of the categories, including that of the ‘Best Actor’ – a domain that belonged strictly to him in the year gone by.

Amrita Rao attending the event said, “Salman Khan is such a big superstar, and he doesn’t need a nomination to prove it.”

Dia Mirza said, “People who get nominated treasure that nomination and it means a lot, having said that, I am sure there will be enough award shows who will nominate him and he will win enough.”


Bigg Boss 5 contestant Siddharth Bhardwaj said, “I am one of the biggest fans of Salman Khan and it’s disappointing that he has not been nominated, but I’m sure had he been nominated, he would have won an award.”

After giving 2011 two of the biggest blockbuster in ‘Ready’ and ‘Bodyguard’, Salman Khan was left without any popular award.

So much so that his name didn’t even feature in the nomination list.

Call it the streak of bad luck, but for his diehard fans the dabangg Khan will always be most ‘wanted’.

The Celebrity Cricket League (CCL) with the promise to be bigger and better kick-starts its season 2 from the Sharjah cricket stadium this Friday.

For the first time the CCL teams will battle it out on an international venue.

The event will see a grand opening ceremony where there will be performances by Atif Aslam and Devi Prasad, followed by a display of cricketing skills between the Mumbai Heroes and the Telugu Warriors. On January 14th the Mumbai Heroes will again take on the Chennai Rhinos at the same venue.

The Mumbai Heroes backed by Salman Khan announced Sharjah Cricket Stadium as their home ground.

After a whitewash season one, Salman Khan promises Mumbai Heroes will not go through the humiliation again. The Mumbai Heroes team line up saw some of the well-known Bollywood stars but they were bulldozed in first season by the other film industries in India.

Speaking to Emirates 24|7 Salman Khan said, "We had a bad season last time but our boys are better prepared this time and we hope to do well".

Team owner Sohail Khan said, "The boys have been practicing well, we have a good team, a good coach and hope to perform better this time".

With six teams, 18 matches and six different venues Celebrity Cricket League comes to the UAE.

The League designed after the IPL (Indian Premier League) brings together six film industries of India on one stage to showcase their cricket prowess.

The six teams represent the six different regional film industries in India. Mumbai Heroes owned by Sohail Khan and captained by Suniel Shetty, Chennai Rhinos lead by South superstar Surya, Karnataka Bulldozers by Kiccha Sudeep and skipper Venkates leads Telugu Warriors.

Season 2 will introduce two new teams- Kerala Strikers and Bengal Tigers owned by Boney Kapoor. With the inclusion of two more teams there’s a slight change in the format as well. There will be fifteen league matches, two semifinals and one final matches played. The other venues include Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata and Kochi.

CCL features over 100 stars from India's diverse film industry, including the Star Power of Bollywood with Salman Khan, Telugu Star Venkatesh, Malayalam Superstar Mohanlal, Tamil Star Surya, Kannada Hero Sudeep and Bengali star Indreneil are going to mix glamour with cricketing instincts to fight for the Celebrity Cricket League Champions Trophy.

Suniel Shetty leads the Mumbai Heroes and Ritesh Deshmukh acts as the Vice Captain. The Mumbai Heroes’ team leads all the way when it comes to the glam brigade too; seen cheering the team will be the brand ambassador Sonakshi Sinha, Genelia Dsouza and Kangana Ranaut.

The Telugu Warriors is led by Venkatesh as the Captain and Vishnu Manchu as the Vice Captain and has Charmee and Richa as its brand ambassadors.

The Chennai Rhinos is led by captain Abbas and has stars like Surya and cheering them will be Sameera Reddy and Amla Paul.

Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif, who is currently shooting for her upcoming movie ‘Ek Tha Tiger’, had accidentally revealed bit too much while the shoot. The actress was wearing a short white dress had tripped off her bicycle which revealed her underpants.

However, Salman Khan, who played the lead role opposite Katrina in the movie had rescued her in time. But not before the photographers had captured the awkward moment from the set.

Salman and Katrina were shooting for the movie when she was supposed to hop in the bicycle, but accidentally fell off. The actress wasn’t first of all wearing the right outfit for a bicycle shot and did not even feel like covering up a bit for the risky shot.

Earlier, the actress has many time has escaped such incidences, but this time may be it was the blunder of the director, who did not make her wear the right outfit for the sequence.

Wardrobe malfunction incidences are now become common in the film industry with so many actresses not bothered to carry off their outfits.

wished me and that too three days in advance,” says the actor, who is on a break after finishing a hectic 50-day shooting schedule in South Africa for Saif Ali Khan’s upcoming production.

She recently shifted from Bandra in Mumbai to her new apartment in Prabhadevi, but she clears that it isn’t from beau Siddharth Mallya. “I gifted myself a new house last year, and I am still immersed in enjoying the moment,” she says.

So, the party plans? “I’ve not planned anything fancy … I’ll be spending time with my family and friends.” What about that one special birthday wish? “Let that be a secret,” she chooses.

Mumbai, Jan 6 (IBNS): Salman Khan has been conferrred The Most Profitable Actor (India) by ETC Bollywood Business Awards, while Shahrukh Khan has bagged for The Most Profitable Actor (Overseas) award.

India’s first Bollywood channel ETC is all set to unveil the second ETC Bollywood Business Awards on 9th January.


Of the approximate 120 films released this year 5 films (Ready, Bodyguard, Singham, RA.One and Don2) saw domestic box office collections of more than INR 100 crores each; while some more, most notably The Dirty Picture (INR 80 cr), Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (INR 92 cr) and Rockstar (INR 67 cr) came close.


This year also included quite a few hits and successes that have raked in the moolah. Bollywood collected a total of INR 1740 crores from the Indian BO. Add the revenue garnered from overseas and satellite rights and it goes up to a whopping INR 2590 crores!


With domestic BO collections of 2 hundred crores plus movies under her belt, Kareena Kapoor emerged as the unquestionable money spinner female actor this year.


“Receiving an award wherein you are being adjudged considering the economic quotient as a cornerstone for mapping the success, gives you a sense of pride. I’ve always maintained that commercial success is as important as the critical success of a movie. A commercially successful movie pays evidence to the fact that viewers loved watching your movie," said Kareena on being presented the ETC Most Profitable Actress Award.


"I appreciate the initiative, ETC Bollywood Business Awards, which recognizes the awardees by evaluating BO performance. I thank my viewers, people who I have worked with and ETC for appreciating my work and giving its due recognition,” she said.


While Salman Khan won the ETC Most Profitable Actor (India) Award, his arch nemesis the King of Bollywood Shahrukh Khan won the ETC Most Profitable Actor (Overseas) Award.


“Now I can safely say ‘har mulk ki public mujhe dhoondti hai’”, quipped the Don Khan, on receiving the ETC Most Profitable Actor (Overseas) Award.


On receiving the ETC Best Marketed Movie of the year Award and the ETC Highest Single Day Collection Award, both for RA.One, SRK said, “RA.One, Bollywood’s most expensive movie was my dream project. It feels great that my long cherished dream has been applauded by the viewers and moreover acknowledged by ETC Bollywood Business Awards; which gives its verdict only on the basis of Box Office collections. These two awards are a reply to all the naysayers who tried to discredit my film.


"Allah has been very kind to me and helped me to entertain my audiences and it is quite literally my audience’s love that has fetched me these awards. Inshallah! I’ll continue to entertain my audiences and make it to this award in years to come.”


Speaking about this unique initiative Anurag Bedi, Business Head, ETC, said, “We started ETC Bollywood Business Awards last year, after having identified the need to evaluate Bollywood on the basis of commerce. From the first look of a film to interacting with actors, directors, producers, marketers, musicians to bringing out BO reports – with every film we undertake a journey as intense as the filmmakers."


ETC Bollywood Business Awards have increased the number of categories from 13 last year to 18 this year.


Innovative categories include Most Popular Trailer, BO Surprise Hit of the Year, and Excellence in International Distribution et al.


Komal Nahta, Host, ETC Bollywood Business, said: “This has been a fine year for Bollywood with 5 films earning upwards of INR 100 cr each and quite a number of hits and successes. This initiative is a just recognition of Bollywood’s achievements and I hope our industry enjoys continued success in 2012!”
