On Thursday afternoon, Salman Khan landed straight from London where he was shooting, to announce the second season of his TV game show. The London trip seems to have done the star a world of good, since he was at his wittiest best.

So, we hear you’re writing scripts now? “Yes, I am. I am very keen to do it. I am also starting another charity foundation…it’s in the planning stages, so I can’t tell you much. And, yes, I am also painting; I will soon be putting up an exhibition,” smiles Salman.
Is it true he’s slashing his price for films and the TV show? “Yes, I am. Not as much as it is reported, but I am getting lesser than what I used to get.”

But should actors voluntarily slash their prices? “Of course, they should! To be frank, no one’s voluntarily doing it; we are left with no choice,” he says. The producers and multiplex owners have been fighting forever now. Whose side is he on? “I think it is very easy to solve. All it will take is the senior producers to get together and solve it in five minutes. But now it’s become an ego issue. Both parties are waiting to see who will bend first…”

Coming back to his TV show, would he invite his friends? (Laughing) “As you know, I have very few friends left in the industry.” What would his reaction be if Shah Rukh Khan was a guest? “He is welcome, but it would be his good fortune to be a part of my show,” smiles Salman. He says campaigning for his political friends was a lot of fun.

“It is so wonderful to meet people who are not really bothered about petty issues like religion, etc. We all just want to live peacefully, so those who are trying to divide us will be asked to quit.” But then, why didn’t he make an attempt to vote? “I was shooting for a film in London…Besides, I am not the kind who takes long flights to come to India to vote, just to show the world!”
