Superstar Salman Khan is in awe of Swara Bhaskar's acting calibre as he says that the actress is a housefull of talent.

After garnering acclaim with supporting roles in films like the "Tanu Weds Manu" film franchise and "Raanjhanaa", Swara is essaying the role of Salman's younger sister in the forthcoming film "Prem Ratan Dhan Payo" (PRDP).

During a live chat session on the film's official Twitter handle, the "Dabangg" actor appreciated Swara when one user asked "@prdp how was it working with swara #PremRatanDhanPayo #ChatWithPrem @Beingsalmankhan".

The actor said: "Swara is very talented."

"Prem Ratan Dhan Payo", which brings together Bollywood's once indomitable team of Salman and Sooraj Barjatya after 16 years, also stars Sonam Kapoor, Neil Nitin Mukesh and Anupam Kher in key roles. The film is set to release on November 12.

Salman asserted that the vibe of PRDP is the same as "Maine Pyar Kiya" but the film's scale is larger.

Madhur Bhandarkar remembers the 'Jalwaa' of 'Fashion'

As "Fashion", a film which unfolds the truths about the fashion world and gives a glimpse of the frenzy behind the runway, clocked seven years, director Madhur Bhandarkar thanked the team, including its leading ladies Priyanka Chopra and Kangana Ranaut, for making it a "memorable" experience.

Bhandarkar took to Twitter to share his views about his 2008 film.

He shared: "#7YearsOfFashion @utvfilms @RonnieScrewvala @priyankachopra #Kangana @mugdhagodse267 congrats to our team for this memorable film #Jalwaa".

The film unearthed hidden secrets of the fashion industry and showcased the extent to which an aspiring model goes to make a place for herself. It narrated the journey of Priyanka's character -- a small town girl who scaled new heights in the modelling world, followed by her downfall due to drugs and alcohol addiction.

"Fashion", which also starred Mugdha Godse, Samir Soni and Arbaaz Khan, performed well at the box office and got rave reviews. Priyanka took home a National Award in the Best Actress category, and Kangana also clinched the national honour in supporting role category.
