Ab Salman Khush Hoga

Late Amrish Puri immortalized the punch line ‘Mogambo Khush Hua' by rendering in his own trademark baritone voice in Mr. India. But for its second installment some 15-to 20 years after the original, a deep and husky voice has been selected. Guess who's that man? It's your turn to get stunned now. It's none other than Salman Khan, Boney Kapoor's lucky mascot.

Salman plays an out-and-out villain on the lines of the eccentric and jazzily dressed Mogambo for the first time. The film will be directed by Anees Bazmee and marks the comeback of Sridevi. Boney Kapoor, producer of the film, confirmed the news and said that Salman will play a negative role in the sequel, just like Amrish Puri did in Mr India. He refused to divulge any further details and said that the script is still being finalised.

Giving us more details, a source said that Salman was very keen to do the film, as he is a fan of Mr India. During the making of Wanted, Salman expressed his desire to be a part of the sequel and Boney assured him that he would plan a role for him. While scripting the film, Boney told director Anees to work out an interesting character for Salman and the director came up with the idea of making Salman play the villain. A character as unforgettable as Mogambo is being written for Salman. He will also have a different look in the film for which a test will be done early next year as the film is scheduled to go on the floors in February-March.

Commenting on Salman's reaction to playing a baddie, the source said that Salman loved the idea and is quite open-minded about playing a negative role. Salman will be playing a terrorist who wants to rule over India and the story will be about how Anil Kapoor, Sridevi and their gang try to free the country with the help of another invention made by Anil Kapoor.
