Salim Khan to supervise Sher Khan Script!

When it is his son's directorial debut and his other son's first super hero act, Salim Khan doesn't wan't it to be a weak script that ruins out the game for the kids. Salim Khan, the legendary script writer will be in action for the movie 'Sher Khan' which is being directed by Sohail Khan and will have Salman Khan playing a super hero. Salim ji will be supervising the overall script and will be adding in creative suggestions to the play, that is what the news goes!

"Jo maine seekha hai, jo haasil kiya hai woh deke jaana hai. (Whatever I`ve learnt I have to pass on). It`s up to my children if they want to learn from my experiences or not. My advantage as a writer is that I`ve matured with the years. Stars get old, writers mature. So I guess I have a certain wisdom of experience that Sohail is using," said Salim Khan.

Rumi Jaffrey and Dilip Shukla are the main heads who will be doing the script writing and is happy to have Salim Khan to add in creative inputs to their story. They feel that this will only make the script a stronger version of 'Sher Khan'.

Salim Khan, who churned out hit scripts like Haati Mere Saathi, Zanjeer, Sholay and Deewar with Javed Akhtar, says he is lending his experience to his sons.

"I am there in the scriptwriting process of Sher Khan expressly to point out their mistakes, not to breathe down their necks. I don`t want to take away the credit from whatever those kids are doing," he said.

"I am a farmer by nature. I like to nurture talent as much as trees. You must have seen when saplings are planted, protection is placed around the saplings to keep them away from predators. I am like that protection for these children who are doing Sher Khan, athough I`ve to admit they`re capable of looking after themselves."

History says, that when in past Sohail and Salman refused to accept Salim ji's input's those movies did not have a good faith and bombed at the box office, hopefully they do not want history to repeat!

Javed Akhtar not happy with Zanjeer remake

Remakes in B-town have become a trend nowadays. Amit Mehra son of Producer-director Prakash Mehra who is working on the script of the remake of Zanjeer might not be able to make the film.

Unfortunately for him Javed Akhtar, who co-wrote the original film, isn’t happy about this development. Expressing his displeasure he said, “Agar script ke rights mil bhi jaayen, kisi bhi tarah ki tabdeeli ke liye writer ki permission leni hoti hai.” (Even if you buy the rights to the script, you need permission of the writers to modify it in any way.)

Lyricist Javed Akhtar said, "Mujhe yeh baat theek nahi lagi aur Salim sahib ne bhi mujhe phone kiya ki the ones who are remaking "Zanjeer" have not sought our permission. Yeh tareeka galat hai. Even if we consider the current copyright laws, they say that it is the creator's moral right over his or her creation, to maintain its sanctity and originality. If I buy Hussain's painting for 2 crore, I can hang it on my wall, lekin mujhe yeh right nahin hai ki uspar ek face bana hai to main uspe mooch bana doon. Yeh crime hoga. This right is not transferable and cannot be stolen either. Agar script ke rights mil bhi jaayen, kisi bhi tarah ki tabdeeli ke liye writer ki permission leni hoti hai. Hum Premchand ya Tagore ki lekhini mein do paragraph apne nahi daal sakte. Woh crime hoga." 

Amit Mehra said, “I will discuss the ‘Zanjeer’ remake script with Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar once it`s ready.”

Where was Javed Akhtar when his son Farhan Akhtar was remaking Don, co-written by him and Salim Khan?

I had approached Salman 2 times - Farhan Akhtar

Salman Khan wont work with Farhan?

Recent promos of Don 2 has created yet another controversy for Salman Khan. Media had noted that Farhan Akhtar had directed couple of movies with the King Khan, Shahrukh Khan, but has never done one with Salman Khan. When asked by the media as to why the difference was, Farhan mentioned that he had approached Salman Khan two times with a project which got rejected.

Farhan also went ahead and mentioned that there are no personal issues with the rejections, it seems that the stories did not suit Salman Khan the way he expected. The other story that runs along is the rivalry between the parents of both actors. Javed Akhtar and Salim Khan used to be good friends at one age and later had their differences in profession. The reports mention that there was an issue with respect to the fame that Javed Akhtar received for the scripts which did have Salim Khans ink.

 

Anyways, Farhan has already put an end to such allegations and mentioned that this is thoroughly profession decision on Salman's part and did not wish to comment further.

We will never know the truth as long as it is shut!
