Salman Khan’s biggest critic and fan to this day remains his father Salim Khan.
So once his film Veer was ready, the actor arranged a special screening for his father. Reveals a source, “Salim uncle watched the entire film and when it ended, he just left the venue without saying a word!” But later in the night, he went up to Salman and told him that Veer was his best movie after Maine Pyar Kiya.”
“My biggest fear for Veer was that my father would not approve the film since he had asked me not to make it. But after he finally saw the film, he came and told me it was outstanding and that meant the world to me,” Salman told us.
Salim has done something similar years ago when Maine Pyar Kiya was set to be released. After showing Maine Pyar Kiya to my father, he didn’t react at all. Finally, at two o’clock in the morning he called me and said, ‘You are going to be a star, a cult figure with this film. And after this, if anybody can mess it up, it’s you alone!” said Salman.
The film went on to become the biggest hit in 1989 and one of the most successful Bollywood movies of all time, establishing Salman’s status in the industry.
Veer hits theatres on January 22 2010. The much-talked about movie is about a Pindari soldier. It speaks of his bravery exemplifying the courage of every oppressed Indian fighting for justice and independence. Directed by Anil Sharma along with newcomer Zarine Khan. The movie’s first look will be unveiled on Friday with De Dana Dan.
