So what did Salman Khan do when UTV asked him to reduce his Rs 50 crore paycheck for Anees Bazmee’s next? He asked them to pay him Rs 10 crore more or take their film elsewhere.

In an interview with HT, Salman was asked:

Has the recession affected your price? Reportedly T-Series wants you to reconsider their Rs 50-crore deal with you.

“(With a straight face) I have asked T-Series to increase my price by another Rs 10 crore. If they are not okay with it, they can take someone else.”

Katrina Kaif has stopped being coy - about her romance with Salman Khan, commanding a Rs 3 crore paycheck, or doing just glamour doll roles. And while she is at it, she now says she is so ready to win an acting award!

Surprisingly, or perhaps not so surprisingly, Katrina’s change of stance has come during her press interactions to promote Yuvvraaj, the first film to pair Salman and Katrina romantically. The film releases in theatres Friday, November 21.

Here are some illustrative excerpts from an interview published in Mid Day.

Salman Khan’s romance with Katrina Kaif has been written and talked about for years but has never been seen by anyone. That will change with the release of Yuvvraaj on Friday, November 21, the first film to pair Salman and Katrina romantically.

Admittedly, the fans will see a make believe version of their romance, but we are thinking they will still love it. Extrapolation comes easily to those of us who love to follow the lives of others, doesn’t it?

Meanwhile, Katrina continues to maintain her studied and dignified silence on the subject.

Ace Bollywood hottie Katrina Kaif said ‘No’ to the reports that she decided I’ll Work With Salman Again, Says Katrina Kaifto finish her professional link with boyfriend Sallu and said that a fine script was the only pre-condition for her to sign up a movie.

Katz said, “I have never said that I will not work with Salman Khan after Yuvraj.”

“I always go by the script. I do not know how such speculations float around. If our dates work out, we will feature in Sohail Khan’s next film,” she added.

Sallu may be the one that is ruling over Katrina Kaif’s heart, but it’s impossible to get Katz to talk about her love-life.

And this time, Bollywood hottie has not fallen in love with a person, rather it’s the lovely ‘Prague’ where she is shooting for Subhash Ghai’s upcoming movie ‘Yuvraaj.’

Katrina exclaimed, “I think it’s one of the most romantic places I’ve been to. It’s so calm, serene and beautiful. I’ve had some lovely experiences there.”

Katrina did not reveal much about her endearing experiences.

Over 200 gowns for 1 scene! Sounds strange, but yes, you heard it right!

Getting a perfect look is no child’s play, and when it comes to ace Bollywood actress like Katrina Kaif, every one becomes very serious.

According to a media report, for just the purpose of one scene in his upcoming film, Yuvvraaj, gorgeous Katrina Kaif tried an amazing number of 200 dresses (gowns).

Though they did open up their hearts for each other, after going strong for the last four years, is was not typically a romantic, full-throttle down-on-knees confession and proposal that many were waiting for!

Salman and Katrina have given hit films in the past, and the audiences have accepted them. However, ‘Yuvvraaj’ is the first film in which the two are paired opposite each other in a serious romance, and Katrina is nervous about how the audiences will take it. The film’s romantic aura will make the couple be judged!

Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif are playing lovers for the first time in upcoming flick, Yuvvraaj though they have acted together in several films.

This is also the time when Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif have gone public with their off screen romance.

Salman and Katrina have decided to go public no matter what the odds. Too much intimacy on screen and off screen may deter family audiences.

On the other hand Katrina believes that an off screen romance will have no impact on the fate of a film as Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor proved in Jab We Met.

Filmstars’ appearance on reality shows to promote their movies has become trend of late.

However, this time it was not just film star but ace Bollywood superstar Salman Khan and the sexy Katrina Kaif who made an appearance on the sets of Zee TV’s ‘Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge 2009’ to promote their upcoming movie ‘Yuvvraaj’, which will hit theatres on Nov 21.

Even after years of being in Bollywood, there are only a few like Sallu whose presence alone can give magical value to the show.

Sallu and Katz looked picture perfect and sent the viewers into a tizzy.
