Mumbai, Sep 3: Actor Paresh Rawal says Salman Khan has his own charm and style of acting and feels the superstar has become more calm today.

The veteran actor, who has collaborated with Salman for films like "Ready", "Baghban", "Har Dil Jo Pyaar Karega", "Dhulan Hum Le Jayenge", and "Andaz Apna Apna", will be next seen with him in Ali Abbas Zafar's "Tiger Zinda Hai".

"Every actor has his own charm including Salman, everyone is good in their own way. I have worked with him in couple of films. He is easy to work with, understands things and is always helpful. Today I think he has become more calm," Rawal said on Salman's acting style.

The Yash Raj Film's "Tiger" franchise centers around a fictional character of an Indian spy (RAW), code named Tiger (Salman), who falls in love with a Pakistani spy (ISI), played by Katrina Kaif.

Of their all films together, the 1994 cult "Andaz Apna Apna" stands out. In the film, Rawal essayed the double role of Teja and Ram Gopal Bajaj.

While there is a buzz of the sequel being planned, Rawal says he hasn't been approached for such a project yet.

"No one has come to me yet for the sequel. It's a good film, the premise is good... it was ahead of its time. Director Rajkumar Santoshi did a fantastic job. The sequel should be made provided the story is good," he says.

Recalling the shooting experience for the comic caper, he says there were financial and date issues while filming, but the overall experience was great.

"During the climax shoot there was problem as half shoot was done here (in one place), half there (in another place). There were date issues so we had to shoot it differently. And people were not paid on time. That time the working style, work ethics were different including finance. We all had great fun doing the film and had never imagined the film will turn out to be a cult. Even during 'Hera Pheri' we had not thought we are making a great film our job was to do the film and move on."

The 67-year-old actor reveals that work on the third part of hit "Hera Pheri" series had begun, but is currently stalled after director Neeraj Vora fell ill.

His other super-hit film "Oh My God", released in 2012, will see a sequel and work on the script was on.

"We are planning a sequel... the work is going on the script. It will all depend on the script whether Akshay Kumar and I will team for it or not," he says.

Currently, Rawal is busy promoting his upcoming film "Patel Ki Punjabi Shaadi" also starring Rishi Kapoor, Vir Das, Payal Ghosh and Prem Chopra. It is slated to release on September 15.

Patna, Jan 22: Actor Kangana Ranaut has expressedher desire to make a movie on Chandragupta, the shepherd-turned-emperor who founded the Maurya dynasty, noting that the film industry has “not done enough justice to our history”.

The national award winner was here to take part in a programme organised by the publishers of a leading Hindi daily where she performed a jig to the tunes of Bhojpuri songs along with actor-turned-politician Ravi Kishan before the duo participated in a question and answer session.  Replying to the questions posed by Kishan, who is also the BJP MP from Gorakhpur, Ranaut on Tuesday said it was her second trip to Bihar.

“The last time, I was here as a child though I have not yet got a chance to explore the state with which I feel a connect as my Yoga teacher has his roots here,” she said.

Ranaut, who won acclaim for portraying Rani Laxmibai, the valiant queen of Jhansi who took on the British during the revolt of 1857 -- in ‘Manikarnika’, when asked if she would like to be associated with a film on any historical figure from Bihar, said, “It would be Chandragupta Maurya. The film industry has not done much justice to our history”.

A self-confessed admirer of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the 32-year-old, who has won three National Awards in the Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress categories, replied in the affirmative when asked about reports that she has turned producer and her first venture is based on the theme of Ram temple in Ayodhya.

The Himachal Pradesh-born actress, who has courted controversy for taking on well-entrenched Bollywood “insiders” like Karan Johar and Hrithik Roshan, said she has had a rebellious streak since childhood and shared an anecdote about her breaking her teacher’s stick upon being hit for chatting with a classmate in school.

When Kishan asked why she has gained so much weight, Ranaut replied it was in preparation for her upcoming biopic “Thalaivi”, based on late Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa.

The actress said her forthcoming release “Panga” is a family drama.

Ranaut said after landing in Patna, she gorged on ‘Litti Chokha’, a local delicacy.

She also regaled the audience by greeting them in Bhojpuri and repeating several commonly used phrases of the dialect after Kishan.
