Did Taurani offer Salman Rs 100 Cr?

Salman Khan’s roll at the box-office has impressed filmmakers and they’re all lining up to sign him for their next projects. This king of the masses has given them enough reason to believe that their films will do well at the BO. Dabangg made Rs 145 Cr, Ready made Rs 124 Cr and Bodyguard made Rs 149 Cr. Ek Tha Tiger, the way the figures are rising, shows all signs of crossing the Rs 200 Cr mark- a historical figure in Indian cinema collections. All of this splendid collection has only Salman to credit. The actors fans don’t mine sparing a little extra for a ticket.

So when it came to signing the actor for a film, it has been rumoured that Tips films head honcho Ramesh Taurani has offered the actor a whopping amount of Rs 100 Cr as the signing amount. A source says, “Taurani, who has earlier worked with Salman and has had him signed since the past couple of years, is very keen that they do a film together. A couple of days back; he met Salman and offered him Rs 100 Cr for a film. Taurani is aware that the actor’s last three films have done business near to Rs 150 Cr net and that’s what he’s ready to take the gamble.”

If this is true, than filmmakers should be prepared to spend a lot on the actor. Taurani, however, denied having offered any such money. “Salman is already signed with me and this is not the right figure. He will be doing a film in 2013 with us and details are being worked on,” said the filmmaker.

Phew- we only hope that there’s as much entertainment packed in the film as there is money.
