Given that there are like 9 trillion Indians, the Bollywood market is a big one. Something that caught the eye of Universal when they scouted for stars for Furious 7 in order to maximize their audience. Salmon Khan is a big action star in India and it appears that Sylvester Stallone is courting him for The Expendabes 4 on Twitter. Not so fast though. Some time ago Khan got shitfaced and ran five people over in his supercar, killing one. The Indian authorities want to put him behind bars for five years, they will deliberate on his sentence in July. Anyway, Stallone fools around with casting nods like this all the time, so it’s not to be taken seriously anyway.
Would like to thank the super talented Indian superstar SALMAN KHAN the Compliment he Tweeted! We should do an ACTION FILM together!

I note that Stallone sings the praises of fans who ‘support’ him when making an action film… when making a great action film. While not what he meant in the Tweet, he basically confirms that fanboys contribute to shitty action films. See fanboy weirdos killing our favourite franchises.
