  • Salman Khan lobbying to get a positive tweet on Sultan by Arvind Kejriwal?

    Salman Khan lobbying to get a positive tweet on Sultan by Arvind Kejriwal?

    MUMBAI: It appears that Salman Khan is not experiencing any achchhe din. His last movie Prem Ratan Dhan Payo flopped and his recent remarks about ‘feeling like a raped woman’ drew criticism from everyone. He has got notices from women commissions and a case also has been filed against him.

    Before these controversies hit him, his image had already taken a beating due to the hit-and-run case coming back to haunt him. Furthermore, his assumed proximity to BJP leader and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has been losing public support after becoming PM, has also caused him to lose some fan following and goodwill among the masses.

    In such a scenario, Salman Khan desperately needs an image makeover and public support as barely a week remains before his movie Sultan hits the theaters.

    Sources say that Salman has now turned his hope towards Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) founder and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, whose public support has been rising exponentially in recent past.

    People appreciated publicly by Kejriwal have performed well in public life and their tasks have been successful. Similarly, movies that Kejriwal have tweeted about have become hits on box-office, latest being Udta Punjab, whose success has been traced to Kejriwal’s tweets by trade analysts.

    Realizing that Arvind Kejriwal is the key to public support and success, sources reveal to Junta Ka Reporter that Salman Khan is desperately sending feelers to Arvind Kejriwal to get the Delhi Chief Minister to tweet appreciatively on Sultan.

    Arvind Kejriwal is known not to be vindictive and thus Salman is hoping that Kejriwal will pardon his proximity to Modi and help him in troubled times. According to sources, Salman has promised to mend his ways and work for people’s goodwill that will please Arvind Kejriwal.

    Sources say that Salman has called up Vishal Dadlani – an honest musician who is a vocal supporter of AAP and is close to Arvind Kejriwal – at least a dozen times in the last three days, pleading with him to request Arvind Kejriwal to tweet about Sultan. Dadlani has not promised anything but said that he will try his best.

    So will Arvind Kejriwal forgive Salman and help him overcome these troubled times? We will know on Eid.

  • Udta Punjab all set to cross 900 crore business due to Kejriwal’s tweet

    Udta Punjab all set to cross 900 crore business due to Kejriwal’s tweet

    MUMBAI: Bollywood movie Udta Punjab doesn’t have any special effects like Bahubali. It doesn’t even have a superstar like Aamir Khan, but it could become the highest grossing Hindi movie ever.

    Trade analysts say that the movie could break records of movies like Bahubali and P.K. and could do a business of 900 crore rupees by the next weekend i.e. by the end of 26th June 2016. Not only that, it could well become the only Bollywood movie to enter the 1000 crore club.

    While the movie’s story – which deals with corruption of Akali Dal and the drug problem not well highlighted by the Congress party – has to be praised for its success, analysts say that one of the reasons why the movie is doing so well is because Arvind Kejriwal endorsed it.

    The Delhi Chief Minister is very busy working for good governance in the National Capital Region of Delhi, but he took time out to watch the movie and tweeted this:

    Arvind Kejriwal watches very few movies and whenever he watches he tweets about them. People know that such a busy and honest man will only choose to watch and talk about those movies that are good, and hence Kejriwal’s tweets help as a box office stimulant.

    After super success of Udta Punjab, Bollywood producers will surely be making a beeline in front of Kejriwal’s office to get a word of appreciation!
