Mumbai: "The man who saw tomorrow," reads a tagline of actor Salman Khan’s poster.
Controversy's child Salman Khan would probably wish that this were true of him in real life too. But alas! It's only in his new film Saawan that the actor has the gift of foreseeing his future, not in real life.
Faced with an uncertain tomorrow, Khan today shuffles between court hearings in Jodhpur and shooting schedules in Mumbai.
A local court had sentenced Salman to one year's imprisonment and fined him Rs 5,000 in the case of poaching two Black Bucks in Kankani near Jodhpur in 1998. The sentence has been stayed for now though.
And perhaps that's why Saawan Kumar Tak, the director of Saawan, has decided to promote the film despite Salman's absence.
"When Salman enters in the movie, it takes a different flight. And the character of Salman, who is playing an extraordinary role in the film, has taken the load of the film on his shoulders," Sawaan says.
Much like Salman Khan's earlier film Tere Naam, the theme of Saawan, too, has been borrowed from his personal experiences and his public persona.
Khan is also synonymous with ranting about the uncertainty of his future and the irony of his love life, which is evident in the posters of his film with lines like 'Love feels like heaven, but hurts like hell'.
It's fair perhaps to say that the actor's fans, meanwhile, continue to pray for some divine intervention that could salvage both the actor's personal life and professional future.
