The
Economic
Times
has
reported
that
Salman
Khan
is
all
set
to
enter
the
smartphone
business
by
launching
high-end
mobiles,
named
'Being
Smart'
and
is
looking
out
for
investors
and
scouting
for
a
factory
in
China
to
assemble
the
devices.
The
phones
will
be
priced
around
20,000
Rupees
and
will
compete
with
Xiaomi,
Oppo,
Lenovo
and
Vivo
in
the
same
market
price
range.
The
specifications
of
the
phones
have
not
been
revealed.
Salman
Khan
is
building
a
robust
team
to
drive
the
technology
aspects
and
is
looking
to
poach
senior
officials
from
large
mobile
phone
companies
to
join
his
team.
It
is
also
reported
that
Salman
has
selected
a
Chinese
factory
which
will
assemble
the
phones
and
we'll
have
to
wait
and
watch
for
an
official
confirmation.
Executives
revealed
that
Salman
had
contacted
several
mobile
companies
two
years
ago
but
they
backed
out
due
to
high
royalty
charges.
He
said,
"But
this
time,
Salman
is
himself
driving
the
show
and
searching
for
an
investor.
He
expects
to
launch
the
devices
in
the
next
two
quarters
and
definitely
before
the
festive
season."
