The actor took a more eco-friendly route when he got stuck in the rains yesterday Good friends Aamir Khan and Salman Khan think alike, it seems. Salman has been known to hop into an autorickshaw or take out his bicycle to beat traffic jams in the city. Aamir went a step further yesterday (June 29), when his car got stuck in a jam during a downpour. Aamir was on his way from his Pali Hill home to Yash Raj Studios in Andheri for a shoot when he got stuck in slow moving traffic near Mahim. Impatient, he stepped out and decided to continue on foot! Aamir jogged a considerable stretch in the rain,dressed simply in a pair of shorts, purple T-shirt and a cap. His two bodyguards followed him, holding an umbrella over his head. Looks like all those extra exercises he’s been doing for Dhoom:3 have paid off! We just hope he didn’t catch a cold in the process. It would be a shame if his effort to ensure he reaches the set on time inadvertently delays the shooting schedule. ...

But that’s not all, after making his uneasiness clear Sallu bhai asked the dancers to vacate the sets. Ouch! Left with no choice, brother Arbaaz Khan, who has stepped into the director’s shoes with this movie, decided to give in to the demand. So now when you see Salman Khan dancing alone in a Dabangg 2 song, don’t be surprised. ...

Originally the Pathan character was going to be akin to Sallu’s fearless action star avatar inDabangg, but now the makers have had a change of heart and mind. They want to appease Salman’sbiggest fan followers, a group ranging between 2 and 16 years old. Sher Khan has been rechristened as a character on the lines of the Biblical superhero Samson, whose undefeatable strength lay in his long locks. Yes, Sallu, who once-upon-a-time had severe hair woes, will sport shoulder-length tresses in Sohail’s production – will this be like his look in Veer? We shudder!
