Sooraj Barjatiya who recently gave the blockbuster Vivaah, now wants his two proteges Salman Khan and Shahid Kapoor to come together for his new project ;Prem Vivah.

However Salman and Shahid have not been on talking terms for sometime now so getting them to work in a film together may need some divine intervention.

Bollywood actor Salman Khan has turned down an offer from the Madame Tussauds museum in London to make his life size wax statue, his secretary said on Monday.

The persons from the museum had approached Salman Khan about two to three weeks ago to make the statue of his.

However, he has taken the decision on Monday not to accept the offer,” the actor’s secretary Vikas Kapoor said.

Kapoor said that Salman had not given any specific reason for refusing the offer.

Salman is at present not in the city and is in Austria where he is shooting for a movie. He is expected to return later this week.

Salman has had two stints in jail on the charge of killing black bucks in Rajasthan during a film shoot. He is now out on interim bail while his appeal is being heard in the Rajasthan High Court.

Salman Khan will appear in a one-take song in the Sanjay Leela Bhansali-directed Saawariya. The film will feature him in a very important cameo role (and not a mere ‘guest role.’)

Bhansali has made special room for his favourite actor Salman Khan, in his next venture Saawariya. Reveals a source, “The film has a song in which Salman makes his entry. Sanjay had a special reason for using the song to mark Salman’s entry in his forthcoming venture.”

The idea of having a one-take song was suggested to Bhansali by choreographer duo Pappu-Malu. In a few sittings, they were able to convince Bhansali about their plan to shoot the song in minimum takes, who immediately decided to use Salman Khan for it.
