The Kapoor boy is pitted against Khan for the most entertaining actor award at an event
Salman Khan is slated to get jiggy this Sunday at an entertainment awards event.
The star will dance to his popular dance numbers like Character Dheela.
Sallu has also been nominated for the most entertaining actor and will battle it out for the honours with Ranbir Kapoor.
No prizes for guessing who will win.
Tee hee!
As a part of our year-end polls, we asked a cross section of people to rate the 2011 item numbers that made them go tizzy with its oomph factor. Here are the poll results
Just as a typical Bollywood movie seems incomplete without an item song, ending 2011 without a special piece on them would be just as abrupt.
An item number along with its mandatory jhatkas and latkas, comes handy not only as a crowd pulling publicity gimmick before the release of the film, but also to up the hotness quotient of the film.
In some cases it is also said to have boosted box office openings and has also served as a saving grace for some bad movies.
Tere pyaar ne kar diya deewana
And if women are ruling the roost with their oomph-appeal, can the men in the male-dominated industry be left behind?
Character Dheela
So if last year's item girls like Munni (Malaika Arora Khan) and Sheela (Katrina Kaif) are conspicuous by their absence in the list this year, Aamir Khan and Salman Khan more than make it up with their nominations.
Ooh la la
The nominations for the most talked-about item songs in films released in 2011.
Chammak challo (RA.One) - Kareena Kapoor
Ooh la la, Ooh la la (The Dirty Picture) - Vidya Balan
Dum Maaro Dum (Dum Maaro Dum) - Deepika Padukone
Jalebi bai (Double Dhamaal) - Mallika Sherawat
Tere pyaar ne kar diya deewana (Delhi Belly) - Aamir Khan
Character Dheela (Ready) - Salman Khan/Zareen Khan
Zara Kareeb Se (Murder 2) - Yana Gupta
'Chammak Challo' Kareena Kapoor speaks after topping our poll...
The Chammak challo track is rated as the best item number of 2011 in the Mid-day poll.
Did you expect it to win?
When we were shooting Chammak challo, I instantly fell in love with the track. It has that kind of beat and that feel to it.
Also the look of the song, the outfit and desi avatar worked for me. Nightclubs in South India and London don't normally play Hindi music.
I am told Chammak challo is the only track that plays in those night clubs, also in Chennai and Hyderabad. My college friends tell me that it plays constantly in Mumbai nightclubs too.
Do people call you Chammak challo after the release of the song?
It happens all the time. Lot of actors and friends call me Chammak challo. I love it.
Are you aiming for one item song like this every year?
I don't make any such plans. I am an actress. Acting is my passion. There is no Hindi movie complete without the heroine actually shaking her booty.
So it's important that a heroine should be able to dance, to make people cry and laugh and absolutely look good at the same time. It's a deadly combination.
What was Saif's reaction when he saw the number for the first time? 
He hasn't seen the film yet. He has seen the song on TV. He told me that it's great and he loved the track. He didn't say anything special. I think he takes it a little bit for granted. (Laughs)
Since New Year is around the corner, are you getting a lot of offers to perform?
As a rule, I don't perform on the New Year's Eve. That's my private time with my family and I don't like performing at the five star hotels and weddings.
I don't think my parents are comfortable with that. That's something Saif and I have decided not to do. But I enjoy dancing at award shows.
Who is your favourite item girl?
Helen Aunty and Malaika (Arora). Both are extremely vivacious and sensuous.
Helen Aunty is a living legend and Malaika is one of the finest dancers and one of the sexiest women I have known.
Besides, she is my dear friend.
South star Dhanush of 'Kolaveri Di' fame is keen on casting the star in his directorial debut in Bollywood
Post the Kolaveri mania, there couldn't have been a better time for South star and Rajnikanth's son-in-law Dhanush to announce his directorial debut in Bollywood. The actor is planning to take the leap into direction with a fantasy flick.
It is learnt that Dhanush is keen on casting Hrithik Roshan as his main lead. Says a source, "A few days back, Dhanush was in Mumbai and he met some people regarding his project.
He has a few names in mind and Hrithik is on the top of his list. This is a big budget fantasy flick and he needs someone larger-than-life who can carry off the film."
It came as a surprise when Dhanush chose to make this movie in Hindi and not in Tamil. Says Dhanush, "When I say I am directing, I cannot even think of acting in the same space.
It's my dream project and I want to give it my all. So I'd rather just focus on one thing. Though I think it is too premature to talk about the film, I am definitely finalising the story and looking at some big names to cast."
Dhanush will now regularly travel between Chennai and Mumbai for his forthcoming ventures and also this project, which he is expecting to start by 2012 end.
Indian Brazilian model Nathalia Pinheiro, who has won the Kingfisher Calendar Girl 2012 title, is eyeing Bollywood and wants to a carve a niche for herself in the Hindi film industry.
She also hopes to work with her favourite actor, Shah Rukh Khan.
"I am a big fan of Bollywood movies and I want to see myself becoming one of the known names, but before that I want to polish my acting, dancing and diction skills because these three things are very essential to establish a foothold in the industry," Nathalia told soon after winning the title Wednesday.
The contest was aired on NDTV Good Times.
She has already signed a southern movie and is in talks to become a poster girl for one of the most elite international brands.
"Yes, I did sign a southern film, but I don't want to discuss about that as currently I want to enjoy the moment. I can see myself flying with such a big achievement," she said.
Nathalia's had an Indian grandfather and a Portuguese grandmother. Her mother is Portuguese and her father is half Punjabi and half Portuguese. Born in Rio De Jinero, she has been in India for the past eight months.
She has a huge crush on Shah Rukh and wants share screen space with the Bollywood superstar.
"I really aspire to work with Shah Rukh Khan one day. He is the man to die for. He is one person who can enact every role so effortlessly, so yes, sharing screen space with him will be a true pleasure for me.
Among actresses, I find Kareena Kapoor superb, she has amazing face and great personality."
Item numbers are also on her wishlist, but her way of performing the song will be different from other actresses.
"Dancing is an essential requirement for any Bollywood movie. One should know at least the basic steps. I don't mind doing Bollywood item numbers, but yes I want to do it in a nice manner with a touch of sophistication. I don't want to sign any item number for the sake of money," said the 21-year-old.
Nathalia, fondly called Nathy, started modelling at the age of 14, feels that the Kingfisher talent hunt helped her in getting recognition.
"I started modelling at the age of 14 with commercial and print ads, but I was not known to the world. I believe that until and unless you don't get a better platform, nobody will recognise you and Hunt for the Kingfisher Calendar 2012 did the same thing for me.
I got the best platform and right people who taught me how to achieve my dream," she said.
A rather pale-looking Katrina Kaif was spotted at the Sahar airport yesterday morning.
The actress was wearing a tee which stated 'I need a tan' besides a pink heart.
We suggest that Kat head to Goa for some sun, surf and fun.
Sonam Kapoor's producer sister Rhea Kapoor munching on some greens at a fine dining restaurant at Andheri yesterday afternoon.
She was not alone. Now and then she leaned on the ready shoulder of a man who was accompanying her.
And yes, Rhea appeared too dressed for a weekday lazy lunch in chic grey jacket and black pants.
Guess fashionistas don't need a reason to show off their fabulous wardrobe. Later, the couple left together in the same car.

Porn star Sunny Leone has been crowned India's most googled celebrity, eclipsing Bollywood divas Katrina Kaif, Kareena Kapoor and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
It is believed that her stint inside the Bigg Boss house has helped her to top the charts with fans searching for her five times more than Kaif, twice as many as Bachchan and nine times more than Kapoor.
