Sallu Bhai may act as the kindest souls at times, but he can also be very, very daunting.

The Bollywood bad boy image and his habit of immaturely holding grudges for years can very well portray a daunting image.

The latest was that another B-Town hopeful Sonakshi, daughter of actor-MP Shatrughan Sinha was supposed to make her debut opposite Salman in a film.

And she was signed up by Salman's doting brother Arbaaz Khan for his first production venture.

The tale recitation and other details were taken care of and the debutante agreed to star in the movie to be directed by Abhinav Kayshap.

But the upcoming star decided to do her research and arrived at a conclusion that all the heroines in Salman Khan's film were only his arm candies and had no significant role to play. Much like the extra sweet Bhumika Chawla and the very pretty Ash clone and non-actress Sneha Ullal.

Sonakshi is from a filmy background and apparently knows much better. And she reportedly decided to opt out of the movie. Maybe after a few talks with her father Shatrughan and mother Poonam.

Salman Khan's camp has been saying that he considers the ongoing recession period not the right time to start a new project.

Whatsoever, so young Sonakshi isn’t debuting with the much older macho man at all.

Well, that means we'll be spared of the torture of seeing Salman running around trees with another fresh new aspirant. He's been doing that for years and we've had enough of that.
