Salman Khan wont call friends for his show

Salman Khan is now talking business with Sony TV. 
He is set to host the second season of Dus Ka Dum. But this time he will not be
as involved with the show as he was last year. A source said, “This is a result
of the huge pay cut that has happened this season. It is believed that Salman
was paid Rs 89 crore in the first season, but in the second season he will be
paid only Rs 44 crore. And with the pay cut, Salman has also cut down on his
involvement. He has refused to use his clout with his star friends and
colleagues to get them on the show. A source close to the actor said, “Salman
recently had a meeting with the programming heads. He made it very clear that he
would no longer be responsible for inviting his friends and celebs as guests on
the show. He will do his job of hosting and that will be about it.

Danish Khan, Vice President - Marketing Sony
Entertainment said, “Salman has a star attraction and he’ll be seen in great
style as usual; a big dhamaka entry is planned for him. When questioned about
Salman’s decision to not ask celebs to participate, given the drastic cut in
payment for the 2nd season, he said, “I am not aware of this. He is involved in
the production but there is no hard and fast rule as to what he is supposed to
do. We are in the process of talking to a lot of celebs from all walks of life
and we will let you know the line-up soon. As far as money is concerned, as a
policy we can’t disclose the amount paid for either season.

Star power does a lot of good to any show. The
source said, “Salman’s word carries a lot of weight and that’s how he managed to
get top notch actors and star friends like Rani Mukerji who is rarely seen on
TV, or Govinda-David, Ranbir-Deepika, or his brothers together on the show.
Getting people together on a television show is not always possible unless you
are a Salman Khan or a Shah Rukh Khan. The shoot for Dus Ka Dum will begin as
soon as Salman is back from London where he is shooting for Veer.
