The 'Dabangg' star chose to remain tight-lipped when asked if he will be hosting the eighth season of 'Bigg Boss', which has earlier seen celebrity hosts like Amitabh Bachchan, Shilpa Shetty and Sanjay Dutt.
When asked about hosting 'Bigg Boss' at the launch event of the song 'Devil' from his upcoming film 'Kick' last night, Salman said, "No comments. I might or might not."
However, he was candid enough to take Shah Rukh's name, when asked who will make a good host for the show.
In the last season of 'Bigg Boss', Salman had received flak for supporting contestants- Tanishaa Mukherji and Armaan Kohli, and rebuking winner Gauahar Khan and Kushal Tandon on several occasions.
The actor was apparently unhappy with last season as he felt accusations of him supporting particular contestants were unwarranted.
Meanwhile, at the launch of the song 'Devil', rapper and song's composer Yo Yo Honey Singh and actress Nargis Fakhri, who features in it with Salman, were also present.
"I am thankful to the team. I feel blessed and thank you for having me for this song. I loved shooting the song," Nargis said.
On the expectations from 'Kick', which will be Khan's this year's Eid release, he said he wants the film to be the biggest hit of the year.
Directed by Sajid Nadiadwala, 'Kick' is slated to release on July 25.
