Only home-productions henceforth for Salman?

It’s a known fact that almost all actors have turned producers or have their family members producing films for them. The industry is abuzz with the speculation that Salman Khan has decided to concentrate on home-productions henceforth, a decision that took shape after some of his producers defaulted on his remuneration in the past. Also, the super success of brother Arbaaz Khan’s debut production DABANGG seems to have made the family think about concentrating on home-productions for the time being.

However, the news could be part speculation, part truth, since Salman is currently shooting for Bhushan Kumar’s READY directed by Anees Bazmee and has committed to do a film KICK for Sajid Nadiadwala, which will be directed by Shirish Kunder. Of course, bro-in-law Atul Agnihotri’s film BODYGUARD will roll immediately after READY is complete and is slated for release in Eid 2011. Also in the pipeline are DABANGG 2 and PARTNER 2, which, again, will see the involvement of his family members.
