Court reprieve for Salman Khan

Actor Salman Khan can finally heave a sigh of relief.

The Rajasthan High Court has ruled that the actor can travel abroad without a prior permission from the court.

From 1998 till today, Salman has submitted 108 applications to the court to travel abroad, sources say. All the applications were granted permission.

“The Rajasthan High Court issued an order on Monday removing the condition for Salman Khan to seek court’s permission before going abroad. He is fighting a case under Arm’s Act registered against him at the Loni police station,” says a source.
The case is registered against him for shooting a rifle and the case that was registered against him was non-bailable. Salman is still fighting the case in the court.

“Justice Sandeep Mehta gave the verdict while hearing a petition which sought freedom to go abroad without a prior permission from the court. Salman’s lawyer put forward the argument that since he is a film actor, he needs to frequently go abroad for the shootings of his films.  The lawyers also argued that seeking the court’s permission each time becomes too tiresome and time consuming. We are glad that the Court allowed our plea,” the source added.

Meanwhile as Salman’s latest release to be breaking all box office records, he has apparently decided to increase his fees. According to sources, Salman’s acting fees have swelled to Rs 30 crores.

“Salman was paid Rs 20 crore for his last film (Dabangg). He will get paid at least 10 crore more per film now. His market prices have swelled beyond actor Shah Rukh Khan. Since Aamir does only one films per year, we don’t know about him,” says a source.
