Salman Khan
If one thought only Himesh Reshammiya could get Salman to sing, here's the latest dope on Salman Khan, the singer. Sallu is about to record a song for Aadesh Shrivastava.

Aadesh is already a big favourite among stars-turned-singers.

He got Kareena Kapoor to sing in Govind Nihalani's Dev. He's also the guy who gets Amitabh Bachchan to belt out ditties in film after film, including Babul.

Mike ready

The composer had been after Salman to sing in Ravi Chopra's film for quite some time now.

Says an insider, "Salman kept putting Aadesh off each time, saying, 'Arrey where I'll sing? I don't have the voice for it.' But Aadesh insisted he'd take care of everything. All Salman had to do was stand in front of the microphone."

Salman has earlier sung Himesh's number, Chandi ki daar par sone ka mor, in Sohail's Khan's Hello Brother. He agreed to sing in Babul because of his wonderful rapport with director Ravi Chopra and his unit. He plays
Rani Mukerji's husband in the film.
