The new numero uno

By Madhur Mittal

IS Salman Khan the new numero uno? It would certainly seem so, going by the way everything right is happening to him. With an indisputable hit film — Pyar kiya to darna kya,Jab pyar kisise hota hai, Bandhan and Kuch Kuch Hota Hain— behind him, this Khan is heading for big muscle power at the box office and other honcho heroes are hurriedly stepping out of his way!

Another pointer to his heightened popularity is the manner in which girls swoon everytime they happen to spot him driving into Film City or see him shooting at Juhu beach. In fact, at the recent celebrity soccer charity match held at the Cooperage (between top cricketers and top stars) all the females present were lustily rooting for Salman — despite the presence of Akshay Kumar, Sanjay Dutt, Aamir Khan and others.

The secret of his upbeat success? Is that what Rahul Roy was asking Salman about the party later in the evening?

As they say, whatever happens, happens for the good,” he said.  This is how it became Salman and Dutt’s first film together. D’Souza informs that they mostly had fun on the sets....
