Salman Khan lives in Presidential Suite while Asin Thottumkal gets black listed

While Salman Khan is living the luxurious life of a President in Sri Lanka, his co-star, Asin Thottumkal, is facing the possibility of being banned in the South Indian movie industry.

Salman Khan is now in Sri Lanka shooting his upcoming movie, Ready, remake of a successful Telugu movie by the same title. The actor has been moved to a more expensive suite at the Cinnamon Grand Hotel in Colombo . Earlier, Salman Khan was staying in a normal suite.

The presidential suite has a private garden, a gym, and a kitchen. A workstation containing a PC, connected to Internet, has been set up so that the actor can contact with his fans. In addition, Salman Khan has his personal assistant and people to fulfill his various needs.

On the contrary, the South Indian Film Artistes Association (SIFAA) has been offended by Asin’s decision to work in Salman Khan’s movie. Radha Ravi, Secretary, Nadigar Sangam, said that he is discussing this matter with several organizations to take actions against her and SIFAA will black list the actress.

Earlier, SIFAA issued a statement warning actors and actresses against attending the IIFA Awards 2010 that took place in Colombo for the Sri Lankan soldiers committed atrocities against the Tamil community of the country. Since Hrithik Roshan participated at the event, his Kites Hindi movie had been pulled down from Chennai. Other stars who attended IIFA Awards show had been banned including Salman Khan.

Salman Khan is going to shoot his next movie in Sri Lanka

Despite the disapproval of the South Indian Film Chamber of Commerce (SIFCC), Salman Khan attended the IIFA Awards 2010 ceremony at Colombo, in Sri Lanka and the actor is now going a step further as he has decided to shoot his upcoming movie in Sri Lanka.

Salman Khan is currently the ambassador of Habitat for Humanity in Sri Lanka. The actor is now looking forward to talk with the Sri Lankan government to get permission to shoot the movie. He said, “I’m definitely going to do a film in Sri Lanka. Any effort that only reflects that the country is back to normalcy should be probed. I will talk to the President (Sri Lankan prez Mahinda Rajapakse) about this entire initiative and I hope to shoot as early as possible. I will do a full-on Bollywood film. It’s one of the best cultural exports of India and it could bring the two nations more closer,”

India Times reported that the movie titled Ready will be a regular Bollywood masala movie. In the movie, fans of Salman Khan will see him pairing up with Asin for the second time. Ready is actually a remake of Telugu hit movie by the same name. The movie will be directed by Anees Bazmee.

Originally, the shooting of the movie was supposed to take place in Mauritius but after visiting Sri Lanka for IIFA Awards, Salman Khan changed his mind.

Salman Khan further said that he felt very excited how the people of Sri Lanka like their movies and this experience made him more humble. Bollywood cinemas are very much popular in Sri Lanka and Bollywood celebrities are also equally popular.
