Salman Khan
Salman Khan

Just when there was criticism all around about Salman Khan not doing different roles, we’ve just got news of him doing exactly that. The actor is all set to do something different for the Tanu Weds Manu and Ranjhaana director, Aanand L. Rai. With well-directed movies doing better than movies with star-powers, actors are starting to prefer working with talented directors and Salman is one of them.

According to Bollywood Life, Aanand said,

Salman and I are doing a film together. We have discussed a project and I will start planning for the same. The project was never shelved. Bhai is a busy man. We haven’t yet locked his dates. But he has heard the story and he liked it. He has okayed it. Salman will be playing a dwarf in the film. I come from a remote area. I was born in a middle-class family. My parents were school teachers. So that element of small town has played an important role in my films. My film with Salman too, will be from the heartland of India. I think Salman will play the desi boy really well. People connect to him that way. I am going to meet him soon with a concrete plan but I am not sure if this will be my next film, as Salman is shooting back-to-back. I will start with the scripting in about a month or so. Then, we will see when he can give dates. Right now, we have just discussed it. The script needs to be finalised, dates have to be locked. So I can only talk about it in detail two months from now. But this film will happen.

This is probably a message from Salman to his critics, that people will stop surprising them…
