Salman Khan to 'Rock' in London Dreams
Posted on Wednesday, June 21, 2006 (EST)
‘London Dreams’ is expected to be released early 2007. It remains to be seen if Salman Khan’s impending legal cases hinder the shooting schedules.

First, Bombay Dreams; Now, London Dreams! The film project comes four years after Andrew Lloyd Webber opened his production of Bombay Dreams in London's West End, where it is still playing. London Dreams directed by Rajkumar Santoshi rolled the camera for its first auspicious shot at The Golden Temple, Amritsar on March 25 this year with lead actor, Salman Khan. Salman with his family attended an ardas followed by a dip in the holy sarovar, He subsequently shot some scenes for the movie.
London Dreams is being shot partly in Punjab and predominantly in London. The film stars Salman Khan, Ajay Devgan and Priyanka Chopra in the lead roles while other characters will be played by British Asians. The music is by AR Rahman and screenplay is by Sridhar Raghavan, though this is based on a story by Rajkumar Santoshi. After the disappointing performance of Family in the box office, Santoshi has optimistic expectations of this project. This is allegedly one of his most expensive projects to date, estimated at around Rs. 20 crore
The movie is about a rock band in England. Salman Khan and Ajay Devgan portray childhood friends who grow up to become rock musicians. Salman is playing a Punjabi guy in the movie. Priyanka will be essaying the role of a singer. In fact all three actors will be getting some training to play music instruments to get comfortable playing their respective roles. To give the film an authentic look Santoshi is auditioning real life musicians to play part of Salman and Ajay's rock band. London Dreams is about individuals, their dreams and desires, as brought together by their music. The unit moves to London end of June to commence shooting and is expected to wrap up by end of the year. This is provided there are not too many restrictions on Salman’s overseas travel.
Salman Khan’s impending legal cases are a concern for delays in the schedule. In fresh trouble, a Jodhpur local court framed charges against him on June 19, 2006 for allegedly hunting a Black Buck in Kankani village in October 1998. He pleaded not guilty to the charges following which the Magistrate fixed July 3 for commencement of trial. Salman had earlier filed a revision petition in the case and an Additional District and Sessions judge had directed reframing of the charges. Hearings for Salman's appeals against his conviction in two other cases, for killing a Chinkara in Bhavad and Black Buck in Ghoda farms, have been deferred to August. Filming of Sajid Nadiadwala’s Jaaneman starring Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar and Preity Zinta had suffered major delays because of Salman Khan’s tape controversy that ensued from Salman’s alleged phone conversations with Aishwarya Rai and later because of his hair problems. The film that was budgeted at Rs 40 crore has gone well over that figure because of delays in shooting.
If all goes as per schedule, London Dreams should be out in theatres in the early part of 2007. It remains to be seen if Santoshi can replicate the pomp and grandeur of Baz Luhrmann’s Moulin Rouge, which is the endeavor with this large budget film.

Priyanka - In Or Out?
Priyanka Chopra
Gossipmongers in the industry tell us that Rajkumar Santoshi might not allow Priyanka Chopra to stay part of his cast for 'London Dreams'. The reason? The speculations that are flying around say that because Santoshi had to replace her with Vidya Balan in another of his ventures, he's leery about casting her again.
Chopra states the reason she left that venture was that she lacked the needed dates for shooting. However, sources say it was because she demanded an exorbitant amount of money to do the film and double if the shooting time was extended.
Santoshi plans to begin shooting sometime in October or November with Salman Khan and Ajay Devgan. Whether or not Priyanka will still be part of the star cast remains to be seen.

Vidya Balan to replace Priyanka Chopra!
by Debasis Jana
If rumours to be believed, director Rajkumar Santoshi may drop Priyanka Chopra from his next 'London Dreams' and rope in Vidya Balan.
'London Dreams' has Salman Khan and Ajay Devgan playing male leads and as per reports the shooting of the film is on halfway. So at that time, Santoshi's decision to drop the Chopra babe from the film has raised eyebrows of many.
However Priyanka states the reason she left that venture was that she lacked the needed dates for shooting. However the industry grapevine insists, it was because she demanded an exorbitant amount of money to do the film and Santoshi declined.
So all the shots already taken with Priyanka to be re-shot now with Vidya Balan. So the production cost will go high. However Rajkumar Santoshi is adamant on replacing Priyanka with Vidya Balan.
As per latest Vidya, so keen to work with director like Rajkumar Santoshi, has accepted the offer like blessing.
