Recently there was a breaking news of Salman Khan Being replaced by his Bete noir Shahrukh Khan In his Domain Big Boss Season 7. Well the reason cited was the Dabangg Khan’s choc-a-block schedule.Far from replacing Salman, the channel is fiercely re-negotiating with the superstar to helm the show again.Colors is willing to wait, even re-shuffle its schedule if the need arises for Salman to accommodate the next season of Bigg Boss.Apparently the star’s business managers have asked for a substantial hike in his fee which the show’s producers Endemol are more than willing to shell out.

As for the rumors of Shah Rukh replacing Salman the channel source surmises, “We don’t know where that came from. Certainly not from us. Our channel may have met Shah Rukh, we aren’t discounting that possibility. It could be to discuss another show.But certainly not for Bigg Boss. Bigg Boss is a brand that gets its power from Salman’s presence. It’s what Dabangg is to Salman’s screen image or Singham is to Ajay Devgn. No one can imagine the Bigg Boss brand without Salman.”
While the channel is adamant on the Salman factor for the show a source close to Salman says, “Like the channel told you any star would be happy to have his name associated with the Bigg Boss brand. And if such rumors of SRK replacing Salman) make anyone happy, then so be it. Let them have fun.”
