Dost Ho Toh Aisa: Sallu to do an item number for free for AjaySalman Khan won't only shoot for an item number in Ajay Devgn's film but can even do it for free

In an industry where friendships are fickle, some actors exit in their approach to accommodate their friends and shut ones.

We hear, Salman Khan has not just pledged time to do an item song for Ajay Devgn's forthcoming film, he's going to not even charge a single paisa for it.

A well-placed industry source tells us that it was just recently that Salman was finalised for the song. "AT THE SIDE OF the director Ashwini (Dheer), his associate Kumar Mangat and a pair of others, Ajay was discussing about the picturisation of this peppy track.

And then they considered roping Salman in for it.

Since Ajay is nice friends with Salman, he called and offered it to him. Knowing their friendship, Salman agreed immediately, " explains our informer.

Interestingly, Ajay and Salman weren't as great friends once they acted together in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam greater than a decade back.

"They became friendly many years ago, and it was only while working together in London Dreams that their friendship was cemented, " we're told.

Our source further states that Salman isn't charging any money for doing the song.

"In fact, he's doing it as a goodwill gesture for a friend, " points our source, adding that last year, Ajay and Sanjay Dutt had done cameos for Ready at Salman's request.

They were shooting for Rascals in another part of Thailand, but if Salman called, they shot their parts as a friendly gesture.

And when Singham promos went on air, Salman often tweeted about Ajay building an enviable physique. That is the more or less friendship they share." It's learnt that the song could be shot in a Mumbai studio, where a special set could be built for the purpose.

"Besides, Salman has also started filming for his brother Arbaaz's directorial debut, scheduled to release this Christmas.

Since Ajay knows that this film is essential to Salman, he'll be shooting the song within the city, in order that Salman doesn't must travel an excessive amount of for it, " sums up our source.
