Mumbai: August 25, 2007 - Good luck to Bollywood Producers in case of Sanjay Dutt that he has come on bail but bad new for those Producers whose crores of rupees is at stake due to Salman Khan, who is sentenced to five years imprisonment. The Industry may sustain a loss of over 80 crore in case of Salman Khan.
Khan's under production films include 'Saawariya', 'God Tussi Great Ho' and 'Wanted' while projects in the pipeline include 'London Dreams', 'Yuvraj' and a sequel to his recent hit, 'Partner'. The actor was shooting for 'Wanted' in Hyderabad on Thursday, a day before the Jodhpur Court passed the judgment.
While Khan remained untraceable on Friday amidst rumours that the actor had 'gone underground to evade arrest', family and friends from within the industry were seen going in and out of his Bandra residence.
However, actor and close friend Aditya Panscholi, who had gone to visit Khan, confirmed that Salman was at home all day. "It is Salman's fundamental right under the law to be at his house," Panscholi added.
Later in the evening, Salman was spotted at the balcony of his house, waving to the fans gathered outside. Khan's lawyer Dipesh Mehta told DNA on Friday that they would appeal against the verdict in the higher court while Salman is expected to surrender to authorities in Jodhpur on Monday.
