Salman Khan hates being taken for granted. And we heard that Kunal Kohli and Aditya Chopra found that out the hard way recently. Apparently they tried to make him go the extra mile for their film, but Sallu put them in their place in his own trademark manner.

Aditya Chopra, as the story goes, wasn't too happy with Kunal Kohli's choice of Saif Ali Khan as the lead of their untitled film. Despite Kohli's insistence on going ahead with Saif, Chopra was adamant about roping in Salman Khan instead, as he fitted the bill perfectly. As per the plan, Kohli approached Sallu and the latter gave a nod to the project. In fact, Sallu was so gung-ho about the project that he even offered to slash his price considerably (he said he'd settle for less than his usual fee of Rs 4.5 crore this time). Kohli couldn't believe his luck! He went skipping back to Aditya.

However, the penny-pinching Aditya threw a bucketful of ice-cold water on his happiness when he asked Kohli to go back to Salman and bargain with him for an even lesser price. When a reluctant Kohli spoke with the actor, Sallu obviously lost his cool (not unexpectedly either). He told Kohli that in that case, if they wanted him to star in their film, they would have to pay him a crore extra (that would be Rs 5.5 crore) instead! Needless to say, there was very little that Kohli could say to argue his already weak case.

Although Kohli remained unavailable for comment, it has been learnt that he will announce the cast of his film by the end of this week. Will Sallu be part of it? Let's wait and watch.

Salman Khan is known to work with producers and directors that he is fond of and often due to personal friendships. Yash Raj films is one of the biggest production houses in the industry and has had several super hit films to their credit over the years. Both Shahrukh and Aamir have worked with Yash Raj films and it is a well known fact that any actor or actress would give his right arm to work with them. There have always been several different rumours regarding Salman Khan working with the Chopras. In fact it was said that several times Sallu turned down the Chopra's film offers. However recently Salman finally agreed to do a film with Aditya Chopra, but it seems that this time too there were several glitches, one of them being Salman's remuneration.

Director Kunal Kohli is working on his script and also looking for the right cast for his next film. Kunal has worked with Saif Ali Khan before and hence wanted Saif as his hero this time round too. Unfortunately Kohli's producer, Aditya Chopra was not very happy to rope in Saif as the hero of the film, so instead he asked Kohli to approach the unpredictable Salman Khan for the role. Kohli apprehensively approached Salman for the role and was pleasantly surprised when Salman agreed to do the film. In fact Salman was so excited about doing the film that he even offered to slash his rate for the film. Naturally Kunal was very happy with the outcome and immediately reported Salman's acceptance and the added bonus of him slashing his price to Aditya. But Aditya is a hard nosed businessman and perhaps thought that with Salman's recent spate of flops he could bargain for even lesser.

Aditya sent the reluctant Kunal back for a further discount on Salman's fee. But though Salman Khan is extremely generous with his friends and family, he is certainly no fool and immediately realized that Aditya Chopra was trying to take advantage of his generous nature. So when Kunal asked Salman for a further discount this time, the cheeky Salman upped his price by a crore more instead of reducing it. Well that should teach the hardcore businessman Aditya a lesson or two. And three cheers to Salman for standing his ground and maintaining his dignity and pride.
