Sallu Poppins

Don’t we all remember being horrified by things like Mary Poppins and Hum Aapke Hain Kaun when we were kids? Well, more innocent children are going to be put through a never-ending musical journey which goes nowhere very soon. And it’ll be none other than India’s answer to Liza Minelli who will be playing the lead. I’m speaking of course, of Salman Khan.

T-Series has put aside a whopping 100 crores to attempt making a musical that will be directed by Anees Bazmee. WIth the decision to rope in Salman to play the lead, Bollywood casting has officially hit a new low. One might as well have cast Usher in The Pianist.

Why Sallu? Bhushan Kumar, the head of T-Series, claims that Sallu is a big star and has proved it again withGod Tussi Great Ho. It’s pretty clear from the artistes you sign that you don’t need much convincing. I can only hope that some pissed off gangster guns you down in a drive-by shooting before you waste all that money in this worthless attempt at creating something. As for Sallu, there’s no telling what he’ll do next.
