Sanki Sallu cancels schedule

Problems between sanki Salman Khan and John Abraham (that started during the Rockstars show) have still not been sorted out. The brunt of Khan's pettiness is being borne by hapless producers like Ravi Chopra and Nikhil Advani.

Salman is delaying the shooting of Chopra's Babul and Advani's Salaam-e-Ishq. For a while, he even contemplated walking out of these projects, but then better sense prevailed.

A source says, "It would've been better if he would have walked out of these projects. But he continues to delay the projects. This is extremely childish behaviour. Unlike him, John is very professional and is willing to adjust his dates."

No shoot in sight

Now the latest: Salman has refused to participate in Salaam-E-Ishq's shoot in Mumbai. Salman cancelled the schedule, so his co-star Priyanka Chopra found herself with free dates to allot to Guddu Dhanoa's Gandhi, starring Sunny Deol. "Priyanka had free time on hand and Dhanoa was keen to start Gandhi. Things just fell into place," adds our source.

No cancellations

When contacted, Salman's secretary covered up for him. "No shoot has been cancelled. Salman will be shooting for Salaam-e-Ishq in Mumbai. The original date for the shoot was July 28 and no changes have been made."

But the way things are going, Salaam-e-Ishq and Babul will continue to be delayed thanks to Sallu. Initially, there were held up because of his hair loss, and then his subsequent arrest.

Unprofessional

Interestingly, Salaam-e-Ishq producers Sunil Manchanda and Mukesh Talreja have different stories to tell. While Manchanda tells HiTLIST that Salman is not required till June 30, Talreja says, "I need Salman only around August 17 in London."

While there seems to be a lot of confusion over what's really going on, one thing is very clear: everyone's just trying to cover-up for Salman's unprofessional behaviour.
