Salman Khan's 'Jai Ho' Film Seems Like A 'Soon-To-Be-Hit'

By Manish Singh | Mumbai
After much fanfare, Salman Khan finally shared the first ever trailer of his upcoming film 'Jai Ho' last evening. The way this was done was also ingenious: in a crowded Chandan cinema full of screaming fans and a curious media. Hoots and claps soon followed.
The actor reportedly also said to all present, "If you like the trailer, please stay here and if you didn't like it please move out." We know only a star as big as Salman can afford to say something like this. Yes indeedy.
The promo sure looks promising. Leaning a tad bit on the Dabangg-like I-kill-bad-guys spirit of the original, Salman is out and out a 'people's man' this time. Forget Batman and Superman, give us Salman Khan in such refreshingly recycled roles, and we're on-board. You'd be interested in knowing that 'Jai Ho' wasn't the first chioce as the film's title. An ever obedient son, Salman reportedly changed the title from 'Mental' to the present title at his father Salim Khan's behest. That and the fact that none of the Khans would appreciate the label 'Mental Khan'.
Directed by Sohail Khan, Jai Ho also stars Tabu who'll be seen on the big screen after many sunsets. The film is reportedly set to release on January 24, 2014.
Watch the trailer for yourself and decide.
