SALMAN to attend IIFA & promote Chillar Party Upd - Pg3 - Page 2

How far can you go for your first home production? Salman Khan can go half way across the globe to Toronto, Canada.

utting all speculations to rest, the Dabangg man has now declared that he will be attending a prestigious Indian awards ceremony in June, the invite to which he had earlier rumoured to have declined. What's more, the star won't just attend the award function, but also premiere his first home productions' film Chillar Party at the ceremony.

Having taken the marketing reins in his own hands, Khan has been on a promotional overdrive of late. First, we heard of him writing an entire section of the promo.

More recently, we heard him trying to force his Ready director Anees Bazmee to attach the first trailer of Chillar Party to his film. Now, it's Toronto's turn, it seems.

Our source revealed, "There have been reports of the actor not attending the awards function owing to certain decisions made by his brother Sohail Khan, who had given the go ahead to the event organisers without consulting Salman.

However, now Salman has decided to go for the event and support his film at its premiere on the 24th of June. The entire cast and crew of the film will be present including the co-producers UTV Spotboy," added the source.

When contacted, Vikas Bahl, the co-director of the film said, "We are premiring the film at the award ceremony. It will be the first time a movie of this scale is being showcased at the function contrary to big budget and multistarrers."

When asked specifically about Salman being present, Bahl diplomatically answeres, "I won't be the right person to comment on this but he is bound to attend."
