Talking to a daily, a trader pundit said, “This is the most crucial period for the film industry, since all three are at the crossroads of their respective careers. Shahid can claim a spot among the top among the top rung actors if he manages another hit with ‘Mausam,’ while Imran is currently hot after ‘Delhi Belly’ and will look to consolidate with ‘Mere Brother Ki Dulhan.’ John Abraham , meanwhile, is the most anxious of all; after ‘Jhoota Hi Sahi’ tanked, he needs ‘Force’ to do good so that he can reclaim his ‘New York’ and ‘Dostana’ position.”

Apparently, the best part of it is that Imran, Shahid and John will be facing the mighty Khan of Bollywood – Salman Khan as the source added, “Salman’s ‘Bodyguard’ releases on September 2. It will remain a solid threat for all films which release through the month.”

Out of all the young turks of Bollywood, Ranbir Kapoor has decided to play a safe bet as the young Kapoor scion cancelled the plans of releasing ‘Rockstar’ in September.

We are sure Ranbir does not want to take on Salman, for he wouldn’t want his film to go the ‘Tai Tai Phiss…’ way!!!
