New Delhi, (IANS) Bollywood star Salman Khan is not only upset about his spat with Shah Rukh Khan, but the way in which the media covered it and the general politics in the industry. He has urged his fans to ignore negative reports about him.
"For the next few days you will hear and read a lot of s**t about me, a lot of it. Keep on reading it, but don't react to it. I don't," Salman wrote on his blog www.duskadum.blogspot.com."Read all the negatives and read till they get tired of writing. Everyone goes through this, but not for long. I say just look good, feel good and do good, that's it."Salman, who is currently hosting Sony TV's reality game show "Dus Ka Dum", added that one should behave as though a barking dog was chasing your car."You don't stop the car and start reacting to the dog. You don't! There's no point. I don't wish to react. I don't have the time for it. Besides, I don't understand the language of dogs, except for my two - Myson and Myjaan," Salman wrote.He and Shah Rukh had a spat during the star-studded birthday party of Salman's girlfriend Katrina Kaif July 16. Salman reportedly instigated Shah Rukh by speaking about their reality shows - "Dus Ka Dum" and "Kya aap Paanchvi Pass Se Tez Hain?" Salman claimed that his show "Dus Ka Dum" had garnered more TRPs than Shah Rukh's, according to informed sources.Salman scoffed at Shah Rukh by saying that despite being a superstar he could not make his show a hit. The war of words later turned rather ugly and Aamir Khan had to intervene.Talking about the politics in Bollywood, Salman said that the "developing trend in the industry is not to celebrate other's success".He added: "Every time another person is successful there will be someone trying to pull him down. You don't increase your own efforts to become successful but try to always decrease someone else's success. That is the mantra of the industry."Salman is also apparently miffed with Shah Rukh for turning down his request for a cameo in his brother Sohail Khan's home production "Main Aur Mrs Khanna".

Shah Rukh to make Bollywood's costliest movie
Bollywood Badshah Shah Rukh Khan is spending an estimated Rs1 billion for perhaps the costliest Bollywood movie to be made so far. The movie for children will be in the VFX medium, using computer-generated special effects. It will be a movie featuring a lot of children who wish for bad things, but get a shocking reality check when they come true, Shah Rukh told Patrick Frater of Hollywood's top trade magazine Variety in a recent interview in Berlin. He is talking to Eros Multimedia and Charles Darby (of The Matrix and Minority Report fame), the visual effects guru, who recently co-ventured with Eros to launch Mumbai-based special effects Eyeqube Studios. Shah Rukh said he was planning the movie under his home banner, Red Chillies Productions. The new venture - to be directed by Anubhav Sinha - had a budget of $25 million (almost Rs.1 billion), making it the most expensive Bollywood movie to date. "We are dedicating the next eight or nine months to taking the best technicians from around the world and asking them to help us make the best VFX film India has ever made. It will be madcap, over the top. I want it to be as beautiful as Spider-Man in terms of effects," Khan told Variety. We are dedicating the next eight or nine months to taking the best technicians from around the world to help us make the best VFX film India has ever made. I want it to be as beautiful as Spider-Man in terms of effects--King KhanThe VFX medium uses computer-generated effects that give movies a fantasy-like feel. The best example of a VFX movie is Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park, where computers made the dragons fly. Asked why he has not yet been courted by Hollywood, he replied in his characteristic tongue-in-cheek manner: "I'm waiting for someone like Steven Spielberg or James Cameroon (of Titanic fame) or some other great person like Ang Lee to make a film, a film about a brown, thin, scrawny Indian guy who doesn't speak English too well. If they ever have a character like that and Google it, I'm sure they'll find me." He said he'd love to do an action-comic movie like Chris Rock and Jackie Chan. "As a producer I would like to make an Indian film that genuinely crosses borders, not a crossover film, where you forget that it has a language, like Life Is Beautiful. I didn't realise at first that it was an Italian film. Or The Lives of Others. I think I can do it in my lifetime, maybe in the next five years." Shah Rukh admitted to the interviewer that his last year's home production, Om Shanti Om, was full of clichés of Indian cinema. "But it is full of heart. I think we need to make more movies like this and gradually more and more people will come to like that," he said.
