Star GOLD reiterates its commitment to enthrall Salman Khan Fans with a special birthday celebration for the popular actor with SUPER SALMAN; a one of a kind film festival which will showcase the best of his movies starting 23rd Dec to 27th Dec. This comes close on the heels of the first look of his much awaited movie Jai Ho which was premiered exclusively on Star GOLD a little earlier in December besides the special deal struck for the satellite rights of all his movies coming up in the future. 

Super Salman will celebrate Salman Khan and his work as the quintessential hero who fights for his love, his family and his country. The best blockbuster films starring Salman Khan will air in the afternoon slot from 23rd to 26th December and would end with full day back to back movies on his birthday the 27th. The channel is geared up to enthrall its viewers with movies like Hello Brother, Bodyguard, Wanted, Ready, Veer, Dabangg2, Bandhan and Biwi No.1.

Commenting on this initiative, Hemal Jhaveri, Executive Vice President, Star Gold, said, "Salman is a big draw not just at the box office but also on TV and showcasing the best line-up of his hits is our way of celebrating his birthday with his fans, our viewers. Besides showcasing the first look of Salman Khan's upcoming film Jai Ho, Super Salman is the perfect opportunity for our fans to tune-in to Star GOLD this December."

The on-air campaign for the programming special 'Super Salman' is being aired on other network channels of Star India. The channel has also initiated a social media activity where ardent fans can tweet and post their special birthday message for the actor on Star Gold' Facebook page.

In 2013, after premiering several blockbuster movies such as Son of Sardaar, Dabangg2, Fukrey, Jolly LLB, Nautanki Saala, Dhobi Ghat, and many more, along with programming specials like Twenty20 contest, Action movie fest, Blockbuster Diwali contest, Star Gold bid's adieu to this year with some of the most entertaining and cherished movies of 'Bhai' of Bollywood - Salman Khan.

Is the Media in trouble? Mumbai Press Club holds discussion on subject

Uday Shankar, Star India CEO said, “Just because the media has become capital-intensive, doesn’t mean that it has to compromise on your integrity. Every business has to have a value system, and the editor needs to be sensitive to that. Journalists need to wake up to the economic reality, and it can’t be denied. On the other hand, those who recognise that are willing to swing to the other extreme and do anything. That also is neither healthy nor sustainable.”

Channel V plans more events

Prem Kamath, channel head, Channel V, adds, "Participation has gone up by almost 100 per cent. We have had 500-600 participants earlier, this year we had about 1000 participants in each zonal."
