Salman's hit-and-run case: Worst is not around the corner for him, says Mahesh Bhatt

The latest development in Salman Khan's 11-year-old hit-and-run case —the actor will now be tried under the more serious Indian Penal Code Section 304-II (culpable homicide not amounting to murder), which attracts a maximum punishment of 10 years — has shaken Bollywood. A majority of industry insiders feel that Salman is being targeted because of his celebrity status. Here's what some of them have to say:

Mahesh Bhatt, filmmaker
"As an insider, I beg with folded hands and bent knees that Salman be looked at as a common man. There are so many cases of accidents happening with lakhs of people dying, but I don't see nation's heart bleeding then. I think celebrity bashing satiates the baser emotions of sadists. In this case, let me assure you that there is no reason to imagine that sky has fallen and the worst is around the corner for Salman. First of all, it can't be called a case of hit and run as nobody is running away. My informed sources say that unless the due process of law is exhausted, all those jumping to conclusions that this is the end of the road for Salman, will be disappointed."

Subhash Ghai, filmmaker
"Personally, I am very close to him. He is an excellent human being, who has been helping out people. The judiciary will do justice. But rich or poor, everyone has to be treated equally. Just because Salman is a celebrity, everything is being blown out of proportion. He is a huge asset to the industry. More than a superstar, he commands respect from every corner."

Vikram Bhatt, filmmaker
"It is a case of rash driving that can happen to anybody — thousands of people are booked for rash driving. Salman is the most charitable star in the industry. But of course, the law will not look at it that way; it will take its own course as it should. There is a rehabilitation process — law is not just meant for punishment. God forbid if something happens, it'll be a big blow to the industry. I guess in this case, it will be a long process. Nothing will happen in a hurry, perhaps it will go on for another 10 to 12 years."

Chetan Bhagat rubbishes report of Salman Khan trashing first draft of Kick: UPDATE

We heard that the Dabangg star wasn’t quite pleased with Bhagat’s script of Kick, but the author has denied the report saying that the script isn’t ready yet and he hasn’t met Salman

As per some strong rumours doing the industry rounds, it was said that Salman Khan had rejected Chetan Bhagat’s first draft of Kick but when Bhagat heard the news, he clarified it point blank on Twitter – “The Mumbai Mirror story on Kick is fake. Haven’t met Salman on Kick at all. Script is still not ready. Just been working with Sajid Nadiadwala’s team.”

Though Salman Khan‘s movies are often considered and termed as ‘brainless entertainers’ by critics, the superstar doesn’t care a damn, ‘coz what ultimately matters to him is his audience and he’ll do exactly what they like him to, irrespective of the content. So, when Chetan Bhagat, who’s attempting his hand at screenwriting with this Sajid Nadiadwala production, was ready to show the first draft of Kick to Sallu, he expected a positive response. But unfortunately that didn’t happen!

It’s learnt that after putting together the first draft of the script, Chetan and Sajid went to meet the Being Human actor hoping that the superstar will approve of it. But little did they anticipate Salman to reject it at once. Our khabroo says that Chetan failed to capture the real ‘Salman Khan essence’ in this film which is an adaptation of a Telugu hit. So Bhagat is back to the drawing board now, working on it all over again. Hmm… it’s certainly not easy to please the undisputed box office ruler, right Chetan?
