Despite huge success in 90s, Salman Khan could not enjoy any significant achievement in early 2000s. Soon he returned with a bang in 2003 with an intense love story in ‘Tere Naam’. In addition to being a box office success, ‘Tere Naam also earned him critical appreciation. His glory continued with comedy movies like ‘Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya’, ‘Mujhse Shaadi Karogi’ and ’No Entry’

Salman Khan’s action thriller ‘Wanted’ directed by the exceptional choreographer Prabhudeva was a huge hit of 2009.

Wanna know the salary of Salman Khan for his upcoming film that happens to be a remake of Telugu film ‘Ready’. Keep guessing and it’s far higher than any of the actors ruling in box office for the moment. It’s Rs.50Crores and the entire Bollywood is gone so surprised about it. The producers aren’t caring about paying such a big amount as they feel that Salman Khan has got a best global market. The film’s shooting has already started in the deep rooted forests of Colombo. Both Salman Khan and Asin have got severe security over there as president Raja Bakshi himself has offered them.

The film’s shooting will be completed within next 4 months and will have a grand release. It looks like, the film will have more reach than the Telugu and Tamil version as the brand Salman Khan himself would sell the film for a greater sum.
