Bollywood’s bad boy number two’s jail term in the Black Buck poaching case could cost Bollywood big bucks.
With the Jodhpur court cancelling his appeal against conviction by a lower court almost Rs 70-100 crores rising on the star could be stuck.
With a possible six-year jail term staring at him, Salman’s films may not have a happy ending.
His films which are complete or close to completion are Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Saawariya made at a whopping budget of Rs 35 crore and is due for a Diwali release.
Then there is God Tussi Great Ho by Shabbo Arts which is almost complete. It has been made at Rs 15 crore and is due to be released next month.
Several films have been announced with Salman like Boney Kapoor’s untitled project on which 10 per cent work is complete.
Tom and Jerry and Main Aur Mrs Khanna by Sohail Khan, Yuvraaj, Mera Bharat Mahaan by Samir Karnik.
The actor whose latest Hindi film Partner was a blockbuster did have all the reasons to smile but not for too long as Hollywood actor Will Smith’s production house Overbrook productions and Sony Pictures filed a suit against the producers of the film Partner, Eros international and K Sera Sera for plagiarism and directly lifting the storyline of the english flick Hitch.
While his latest and first Hollywood venture Marigold is not doing too well either, the actor now has reasons to worry. But Bollywood is keeping its fingers crossed that his bail plea is heard soon.
