Salman Khan's 'Dabangg 2' will overpower 'Ek Tha Tiger'?

On his birthday, astro-numerologist predicts that from Salman Khan's upcoming films in 2012, 'Dabangg 2' will be a step ahead of 'Ek Tha Tiger'.

He may have done some serious wrongs in his real life in the past, but nothing can take away from the fact that people are just 'Ready' to accept the 'Dabangg' man in any avatar. On the eve of his birthday, we ask astro-numerologist Bhavikk Sangghvi to find out what's in store for Salman Khan - the most charismatic star of Bollywood for the upcoming year 2012.

"Salman was born on 27th December 1965 which makes him a Number 9 ( Mars) person in numerology. He is a Capricorn (ruler Saturn - Number 8) and his destiny number adds up to Number 6 (Venus)", explains Bhavikk.

"Being ruled by Number 9, Salman is a tough nut to crack. He is firm with his decisions but can get impulsive at times which he should be wary of. Being ruled by Number 8 (Saturn) he has knowingly or unknowingly put himself in trouble most of the times and been there at the wrong side of the law. But this is the same 'shani' which has given him tremendous success, popularity and love of the people all around the world. With the right balance of mind and looking at things more rationally, he can actually improve his personal life more as Number 6 (Venus) indicates a good marriage life and his family loving nature", explains Bhavikk.

"The coming year 2012 adds up to Number 5 (Mercury) and Salman will be entering in his 47th year which indicates unnecessary delays in his life whatsoever", predicts Bhavikk. "His work assignments may not get complete on time and schedules might go haywire sometimes due to his fault and at times due to other technical reasons as well. Even his love life will remain more or less dry with no sign of concrete relationship happening anytime soon"

"But on the film front, his next release ' Ek Tha Tiger' in the Eid of 2012 would prove to be a profitable venture as the film title (sums up to Number 32) vibrates well with the year 2012. However Number 5 is usually not lucky for Number 9 people and hence the film may not be able to exceed the collections of ' Dabangg 2' which will turn out to be a 'bigger hit' in comparison when it comes to pure box office figures", signs off Bhavikk on a clear cut note.

Salman Khan sacks Dabangg team

Dabangg might have been a winner for the brothers Khan - Arbaaz and Salman, but the producer and the lead actor seem to be in no mood to retain the winning team.

After director Abhinav Kashyap left the Khans, the technicians have now been asked to follow him. Khan brothers have decided to work with a completely new team in Dabangg 2 that goes on floors in March 2012.

A source revealed, "The earlier plan was to retain the entire cast and crew barring of course Abhinav Kashyap who had already opted out of the sequel. Dileep Shukla was roped in to write Dabangg 2. As the script developed, Arbaaz Khan realised that he'll have to work within a new setup and with an entirely new set of man-power for the film."

On the other hand, most of the technicians who worked on Dabangg have opted to work with Abhinav on his next film, a Shah Rukh Khan starrer set in Australia, claimed the source.

When contacted, Arbaaz admitted that there has been a total makeover in the sequel as far as the technicians are concerned. He added, "Why are people presuming that I'd have to depend on creative resources from the first Dabangg to make Dabangg 2? I've been born into a film family. I grew up hearing scripts and people talking cinema. I know enough about cinema to turn director confidently. It's true we don't have the original crew on board. We've hired a first-rate group of fresh technicians for Dabangg 2."

"We know what we're doing. It's Dileep Shukla who has written the sequel. But it is my vision and ideas that have been put into the screenplay. I know exactly how I want to shoot the film. The novelty of seeing Salman playing Chulbul Pandey with a moustache has worn off. We'll be going beyond," said Arbaaz.
