Salman Khan ready to pull up his socks

MUMBAI: Usually if you need some good ol’ advice on the finer things in life, like how to treat your lovers, Salman Khan would be the right person for you. But it’s all work and no play for the eternal lover boy at the moment and he is very serious about getting his career back on track. That’s why the usually laidback actor is keeping a tab on how his roles are shaping up in the up-coming movies.

Now, if you know the kind of person Salman is, you’d be bewildered, and if you have worked with him, like Ajay Devgan has, you will be confused. After Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Ajay is coming back on screen with Salman in Vipul Shah’s London Dreams. The two are an absolute riot on the sets and have been getting along famously.

But Ajay was taken aback when he heard that Salman was pestering the film’s producer to allow him to see his footage in the film and was asking how his role is coming along. He’s also said to have told the producer to keep him in the loop about the post-production and editing of the film. “Salman has never cared about these things in the past,” says a team member. We wouldn’t be surprised if Ajay’s ego is stoked by the fact that he’s the man who’s made carefree Sallu insecure.
