Bollywood actor Salman Khan's new film seems to be heavy on South Indian actresses as it is reported that Sana Khan will be starring along with Daisy Shah in 'Mental'.

Sana Khan shot to fame in the sixth season of Indian reality show 'Bigg Boss' hosted by Salman.

The actress was known to have developed a rapport with Salman, who grew quite fond of her and is also supposed to have recommended her for the film.

The news was confirmed by Sana Khan's manager and reported by an Indian daily.

Sana Khan worked in Telugu films like Kalyanram's Kathi and Nookayya, was recently spotted on the sets of Salman Khan-starrer Mental. "I knew Salman would honour his word to launch me in Bollywood, I was trying not to be too excited before things started shaping up," she confesses.

The other actress Daisy Shah was an assistant to choreographer Ganesh Acharya in films like 'Zameen' (2003) and 'Khakee' (2004).

Salman also has a subtle connection with her: She was the female lead opposite south actor Jaggesh in the original Kannada version of his 2011 hit 'Bodyguard'.

The film turned out to be an equally big hit when it was remade in Hindi with Salman and Kareena in the same year.

Daisy was part of the 12-day shooting schedule in Dubai Wonderland theme and Water Park.

There has been much speculation about who the actresses for Salman's 'Mental' will be. In fact, Bigg Boss contestant Karishma Kotak and Priyanka Chopra were also supposed to be among those in the reckoning.

Bollywood Actors Charged With Killing Rare Deer


Lawyer K L Vyas said Salman Khan was charged with shooting blackbucks, an endangered type of curly-horned antelope which is increasingly limited to wildlife parks.
Saif Ali Khan, Sonali Bendre and others allegedly abetted the crime by encouraging him while hunting in Rajasthan state.
The Indian court system is notoriously slow and it often takes years and even decades for a case to go to trial.
They are accused of poaching two blackbucks during the evening of October 1 and into the early morning of October 2, 1998, in Kankani village near Jodhpur during the shooting of the film Hum Saath Saath Hain.
If convicted, the actors could face three to six years in prison. They deny the charges.
Four of the accused appeared before a magistrate in Jodhpur on Saturday.
Salman Khan was also supposed to appear in the court but failed to do so. Indian media reported on Friday that the actor is currently in the US for medical treatment for Trigeminal Neuralgia, a painful nerve condition.
He is one of the biggest names in the Mumbai-based Bollywood film business, having appeared in more than 80 Hindi-language films.
He has appeared in India's highest grossing film of the year nine times. Five of his films have earned more than $18m (£12m) at the Indian box office - something only 20 Bollywood films have done in total and more than any other actor.
Blackbucks are a protected animal and hunting or poaching them is punishable by law.
Saif Ali Khan is a descendant of an Indian aristocratic family and is married to Kareena Kapoor, another of the biggest actors in Bollywood.
On Thursday, another Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt had a conviction for illegal possession of weapons upheld, and the leading man now faces time in prison.

Bollywood Star Sanjay Dutt Jailed In Bomb Case



His conviction involves a case linked to a 1993 bombing that killed 257 people in Mumbai.

The court ordered Dutt to surrender to police within four weeks on the charge of possessing three automatic rifles and a pistol that were supplied to him by men subsequently convicted in the bombing.

The actor's case was part of a trial that has dragged on for 18 years.

Dutt insisted he knew nothing about the bombing plot and said he asked for the guns to protect his family - his mother was Muslim and his father Hindu - after receiving threats during sectarian riots in Mumbai. The Supreme Court had earlier sentenced Dutt to six years in prison.

He served 18 months in jail before he was released on bail in November 2007 pending an appeal in the top court.
The court had earlier acquitted Dutt of the more serious charges of terrorism and conspiracy. Dutt's lawyer, Satish Maneshinde, said the 53-year-old actor would take some time before deciding on his next step.

Despite his troubles with the law and his time spent in jail, Dutt's Bollywood career has flourished over the past two decades.

He gained enormous popularity for a series of Hindi films in which he played the role of a reformed thug who follows the teachings of Gandhi.

2012: 5 best songs in Bollywood!


1. Chikni Chameli

Chickni Chameli is from Agneepath which released in Jan last year. Chikni Chameli was the biggest item number this year. The song was a hit as soon were the promos were out. Katrina Kaif looks like a bomb in the song and totally managed to seduce all the people watching the song.

2. Pani Da

Pani Da is from Vicky Donor. Actor Ayushmaan Khurrana who made his debut in the movie also turned lyricist and singer for this song. The song scorched chartbusters and is still considered as one of the best songs of the year.

3. Aashiyan

Aashiyan is from Barfi! The song has a very Spanish feel to it with very good use of flute and other instruments. It’s a very sweet song with a mesmerizing composition by Pritam. The voices of Shreya Ghoshal and Nikhil Paul George blend oh-so-well to create the perfect mood.

4. Pareshan

Pareshan is from Ishaqzade. The song is composed by the young music whiz Amit Trivedi, and the lyrics are by Kaushar Munir. It’s a beautiful song zapping the listener with its peppy flow of mellifluous tune and a punch of soft rock.

5. Fevicol Se

Fevicol Se is a crude item number from Dabangg 2. The song is grabbing eye balls and people are whistling every time they see Kareena Kapoor’s moves in the song. The lyrics are raunchy and hilarious and will work with most sections of the audience.
