Just when the trend of superheroes were going down, the mighty Salman Khan has decided to give it a boost. It is said that his upcoming movie Sher Khan will have him as a super hero. The upcoming movie which will be directed by Sohail Khan, will have Salman Khan in a shoulder length hair look and what is more interesting is the fact that this superhero has the powers hidden in his shoulder length hair!
The movie wont be dropping the legacy of 'Sher Khan' (the name) being a Pathan. Usually it is the trend in Bollywood that the name goes for a pathan. The last time Sallu did a Pathan was a decade earlier in Sawan Kumar's 1991 film Sanam Bewafa. But Salman Khan's Sher Khan will not be the stereotypical gendermixing Pathan, who rules the female genders and commands them around. In the words of writer Rumi Jaffery, Sohail's home production will "feature Salman in a look he has never tried before." Needless to say, this superhero will be quite different from Superman, Spider Man or the indigenous Krrish or G.One.
The superhero was always not from the North side, it was earlier reported that Kona Venkatesh, who wrote the script for Ready was the one who was espected to write for the movie and feature a hero from the South, but Salman and Sohail wanted a change on this as the trend was going more to the South. So they have now ropped Rumi Jaffery for the job.
"Though he has had a massive fan following among kids, none of Salman bhai's films have been specially targeted at children. Dilip Shukla (who's also writing Dabangg 2) and I are designing bhai's first film aimed at the young viewers," added Rumi.
And the superhero Salman won't be flying in the air wearing a cape. "He will be a hero that kids can identify with. The action scenes won't have him beating up a dozen goons single-handedly. He has done these things many times before," said Rumi. We learnt that Salman's action scenes will be inspired by the ancient forms of martial arts from Kerala.
But the leading lady opposite superhero Salman is yet to be finalised. "It has to be someone who can perform well. Since Salman bhai is changing in Sher Khan, the leading lady can't be familiar either. We're looking. We have time. We start in October."
