Though Salman Khan has overcome his recent jail memories (where he had to stay three nights over the animal poaching case), his impending ‘Rock Stars’ concert where he was to perform his role along with Akshay Kumar and John Abraham, has been postponed because was not granted permission from court for international shooting and live concerts.

One of show’s organizers, Bunty Wallia confirms the postponement. “The shows were supposed to start in Calgary on 21 April and were to go on over the weekends. Now we’re starting the shows in the first week of May, going into June. As of now, that’s the plan. But obviously further decisions depend on Salman. There will be no Rock Stars concerts without Salman.”

As of now Salman has begun practicing on songs and dances he will perform at overseas road shows. He is practicing six hours a day for the concert that will tour the United States, Canada and Europe next month, his brother Sohail Khan told. “He’s concerned about delays in the Rock Stars concert and is making every effort to get his schedules back on track. It’s almost like a junoon (passion)”, said Sohail Khan. Salman has also resumed acting in movies stalled due to his arrest. (more…)

Talking about her latest release ‘Humko Deewana Kar Gaye’ model turned actress Katrina Kaif says she is a moody person. She also said that her co-star Akshay Kumar made her feel extremely comfortable.

Tell your fans something about your big release Humko Deewana Kar Gaye?
It’s about a girl who goes trousseau shopping, and unexpectedly meets a guy with whom she has an unexpected connection. Love is genuinely like that. It’s not something that you anticipate or expect. The twist in the film lies in the fact that they are both engaged to other people. The movie then progresses on to deal with different types of love - you have love out of duty, you have love out of respect, love out of passion, and the choice one finally makes between duty, respect and your heart. And there in lies the beauty of the film. It’s a romantic film, with slight elements of comedy. It’s neither a slapstick like Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya or too serious like Sarkar.

Music of 'Humko...' has become a big hit. What do you feel?
The film has lovely music and I’m glad it’s doing well. It’s at the top of the charts.
