Salman Khan ready for Partner 2 Three years after the success of "Partner", actor Salman Khan says is once again set to work with director David Dhawan for the second instalment of the comic caper.

"We are going to do 'Partner 2' now. We have decided the script. We have decided everything about the film," Salman told IANS in an interview.

Before "Partner", Salman-Dhawan gave hits like "Mujhse Shaadi Karogi" (2004) and "Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya" (2005)

Presently Salman is busy promoting his forthcoming action movie "Dabaangg", which is his brother Arbaz Khan's debut production venture and also introduces senior actor and politician Shatrughan Sinha's daughter Sonakshi as the female lead.

Salman says he predicted about seven years ago that Sonakshi will be an actress.

"That time she was very plump. But from her expressions, we figured that she could emote very well (on screen). She could dance very well. We knew she has all the qualities. When she lost weight, she just fit into place," said Salman.

But Sonakshi was not so keen to join movies.

"She was not interested in movies. Even now she is not much interested. It took lot of convincing before she agreed to do the role. But they are part of my family, you know. I told her that there would be a lot of advantages because of her father whom we all respect and that she would be treated like a family member," said Salmann

"Though there is not much dance in the film for her character, but she dances really, really well," he said.

Mona Singh prefers hosting over actingActress Mona Singh, who played a cameo role in Aamir Khan-starrer blockbuster "3 Idiots", likes to act in films but says she enjoys hosting shows on TV.

"I definitely want to act, but hosting is something that I am really enjoying. The first show I ever hosted was 'Jhalak Dikhla Ja'. I was super nervous then, but now I am very comfortable," Mona told IANS.

Mona, who played Kareena Kapoor's sister in "3 Idiots", will be seen next on the small screen hosting Sony's "Entertainment Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega" with actor Vishal Malhotra.

The actress hit it big with her TV character Jassi in "Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin" (2003) and she still believes that nothing could be bigger than that.

"I personally feel that there can't be anything bigger than 'Jassi...' for me on TV, which is why I am not concentrating much on television (serials). TV is something that I started with so I don't want to say bye to that," said Mona.

Mona has two films releasing this year, "Laxman Rekha" by debutant Virag Mishra and "Utt Patang" by Abhinav, and both of them are with actor Vinay Pathak.

"I have two films with Vinay Pathak, where I played the lead roles. 'Laxman Rekha' is a funny comedy, where he is Laxman, I am Rekha. 'Utt Patang' as the name suggests it's a thriller comedy, suspense all in one," said Mona.
