Salman to Star in Avatar sequel

Mumbai.Salman Khan is on a roll and he has all the good reasons this time. Lately people have been wondering why is he sporting a 'Being Na'vi' T-shirt instead of his ironical regular wear 'Being Human' . The answer to this question is surely going to create ripples in the tabloid. If sources are to be believed, James Cameron, the legendary director of 'Avatar' is in talks with Salman Khan to bring him on board for his much anticipated under-water Avatar sequel.

Impressed by the massive success of 'Dabangg' and the out-standing portrayal of 'Chulbul Pandey' by Sallu, Cameron is currently in Mumbai for finalizing his cast for the sequel.Salman Khan, who feels honoured by this gesture from Cameron is more than willing to become a part of this grand project.But it seems he is having a hard time figuring out dates, as he has already given his commitment to Most Wanted, Almost Wanted, Atmost Wanted, Dabangg 2 and Dabanggg 3.

On the other hand, James Cameron is confident that the issue would be resolved and he will have Salman hopping on as he has already agreed to Sallu's wish list. He said in a press conference," Salman has asked me to offer some roles to his two bothers and an item song to Malaika Arora Khan. I told him that he need not mention, I figured this would be coming and was prepared.I am thrilled to get started on this.". On being asked about Malaika's role, he in his tooty-footy hindi said,"Let just say, Munni fir the bad naam hogi!" and then he burst into laughter. Adding to the buzz, actor Rajnikanth claimed that he was approached for this role first but their ideologies were light years apart.Cameron refused to comment on this.If all goes well, he would be releasing this in summer 2011 hoping not to get beaten again by his ex-wife this coming Oscars.
