Salman is having a ball these days. After delivering three hits, Tere Naam, Garv and Mujhse Shaadi Karoge, in a row the the brat Khan is being touted as a man with the mida touch in the industry.

No wonder everyone is trying to encash his charisma.

Past week Bollywood became abuzz with the rumours that Salman is playing villian in Ken Ghosh's Fida. But what started as a joke spread like a wildfire in the whole city. Everyone was asking the same question, "If it is true?" The answer is an absolutely NO!

Salman doesn't figure in the cast of the Kareena Kapoor-Shahid Kapoor-Fardeen Khan thriller at all. So what prompted a news channel to carry a breathless story on Salman's 'surprise appearance' in Fida?

Apparently Salman told journalists last week that he looked younger than Shahid. This off-the-cuff remark was misconstrued as an admission that he was the bandh mutthi, the secret ace up director Ken Ghosh's sleeve.

According to inside sources, "Salman is hundred percent NOT in Fida. Tips isn't killing the misleading rumour because it suits them fine for people to presume that the saleable Salman is part of the cast. But the studied silence could backfire on the film if audiences go expecting Salman to pop up in the plot."

Lots of red herrings are being strewn as the release date of Fida approaches.
