Salman Khan’s alcoholism in making of Veer

Salman Khan’s alcoholism caused the makers of Veer a whopping Rs. 60 lakhs of Rupees. No it wasn’t the bill of his alcohol drinking on the sets mind you! Read on to know why it cost a bomb for them.
An unit source revealed, “During the entire making of Veer had Salman indulged in less alcohol, partied less and slept on time it would save his producers many lakhs of rupees. Believe it or not the producer of the film ended up spending around Rs. 60 lakh to only digitally improve his look. And digitally improving the look in the case of this handsome hero implies erasing the bags under his eyes and reducing the puffiness of his face, both results of his drinking binges and late nights. As if the alcoholic binges of the hero affecting the shift timing and shooting the following day and the consequent financial losses weren’t bad enough for the producer comes this huge expenditure on DI work.”

Asin says no to Shahrukh Khan

It’s dream of every newcomer to star opposite the Baadshah of Bollywood SRK,but Asin begs to differ because she has turned down an offer to work opposite SRK.

Asin who has worked with Aamir Khan in Ghajini and Salman Khan in London Dreams and couldn’t work with SRK because of date hassles.

A source says, “Ever since Asin appeared on Farah’s show Tere Mere Beach Mein, they have been in touch. When Farah offered her the role, initially Asin was quite excited. It is not known why she refused Farah’s film.”

She conveyed that the dates which Farah needed would be clashing with her other assignments.”

Now that’s a very strong decision, I wonder how she could say no to SRK. Well lets see if her decision transforms into her loss or into gain.
