A source reveals, "Salman does not believe in missing on his workout sessions. But with his blocked schedules, the only time he finds from his hectic schedule is while travelling from promotional events of Bodyguard to the sets of Ek Tha Tiger. The maverick actor sweats it out cycling from one location to the other."

Salman worked out aggressively to acquire a comparatively leaner look for the climax in Bodyguard and he plans to maintain it. And thus, his regular workout session cannot be missed out.

Cycling for a few hours in the day has become an essential part of this bodyguard's routine and Salman is indeed paying good attention to his body.

Bodyguard is Salman's and Kareena's upcoming Eid release. It will be the third Eid release of Salman after blockbusters like Wanted (2009) and Dabangg (2010).

Happy Birthday to Chote Nawab: Bollywood's 4th Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Turns 41 Today

Fourth Khan of Bollywood, Saif Ali Khan, turns 41 today (Tuesday/August 16) as his latest released film AARAKSHAN made lots of news in recent times.

The Chote Nawab, as he is popularly called in B-town, shun his cool dude image and emerged in a new avatar with moustache and a different hairstyle for AARAKSHAN.

The film also features Deepika Padukone and Amitabh Bachchan. Dealing on the controversial topic of caste-based reservation system in education, the Prakash Jha directed film has attracted the grudge of several political parties.

Saif's career in films has always been a roller-coaster ride. His initial days in the B-town have been cold and insignificant.

With long hairs and a cute smile, Saif may have attracted few of his female fans but as his films never made a mark on the box office.

It was with HUM SAATH-SAATH HAIN that he started making an impact on the audience with his witty dialogues.

His critics and fans appreciated his role in Karan Johar's KAL HO NAA HO and Farhan Akhtar's debut film DIL CHAHTA HAI.

But it was perhaps with HUM TUM and PARINEETA that made Indian audience witness a matured and smart Saif.

Today, Saif is rightly being known as the fourth Khan of B-town, joining the list superstars like Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan and Salman Khan.

Reportedly, Akshay is also learning an offensive variant of Karate named ‘Combat Karate’ in preparation for his role in ‘Rowdy Rathore’. Seems the actor is all set to return to his first love….kick ass action!!

Bollywood Buzz - - Malaysian Bhangra Singers, Sukhjit Gill and Manjit Singh, Made Their Debut in Rajiv Mehra's Upcoming Flick

Sukhjit Gill (left) and Manjit Singh (right) belting out their numbers during the launch of their Goldkartz's album '24 Karaatz' in Kuala Lumpur recently.

PETALING JAYA - Two Malaysian Bhangra singers have made a giant leap into the Bollywood film industry with an invitation by movie director Rajiv Mehra to produce a song for his upcoming film.

While Malaysians like veteran Tamil singer M. Vasudevan and rapper Yogi B (real name, Yogeswaran Veerasingam) had left their mark in the South Indian music scene, Goldkartz comprising brothers Manjit Singh and Sukhjit Gill has become the first South-East Asian group to produce and sing for a Bollywood movie.

Rajiv Mehra's movie, Chala Mussadi Office Office, is a big screen adaptation of the hit TV sitcom Office Office which revolved around main character Musaddilal, played by Indian actor Pankaj Kapoor, and his humorous interactions with corrupt government officials.

Pankaj Kapoor will be reprising his part as schoolmaster Mussaddi Lal Tripathi in the film.

"It's a great honour, as Malaysians, to be recognised for our talent," Manjit, who produced the single Mauja for the movie, said.

"We are pleased our song has caught the attention of Bollywood, particularly from the music directors, Sajid Ali and his brother Wajid," Manjit added.

For Manjit and Sukhjit, their Bollywood experience had been with Indian composer-singer-producer Shankar Mahadevan, on the song Rock with You from their second album, 24 Karaatz.

Manjit, a lawyer, and Sukhjit, a law student at Universiti Malaya, will leave for India today to promote Mauja and Chala Mussadi Office Office.

The movie will be released in India on Aug 5.
