Not directing Ayush: Kabir Khan

Not directing Ayush

Kabir Khan refutes rumours of him helming Salman Khan's bro-in-law's debut vehicle

Post the success of Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Kabir Khan has been flooded with offers from not just from all the top producers in Bollywood, but also many stars, who are vying with each other to get into his next film.

According to trade buzz, Salman Khan's brother-in-law Ayush Sharma will be working in Kabir's next. Apparently, it was Salman who requested Kabir to sign Ayush as he feels Arpita's husband is star material and only Kabir can launch this newcomer.

The film is expected to be produced by Salman Khan Films. Says an industry source, "If Salman gets his way and Kabir directs the newcomer, this will surely be a dream debut for Ayush."

However Kabir Khan refutes the story. "It's not true," he informs. What about his next project? "Nothing has been finalised as yet."

The source adds, "Right now, Ayush is focusing on his training. He has been learning everything from acting, dancing, to action, martial arts and horse-riding. Salman has taken him under his wing and Salman's own trainers are making young Ayush work out."

Ayush is being personally and professionally groomed and guided by Salman on acting and being a star. However, there's no decision to launch Ayush till his training is complete which will take another six months.

The source continues, "Though Ayush has some other offers, Salman wants Kabir to direct him. The Khan family doesn't want any media attention on the young actor and is keeping him away from the limelight till he's ready to be launched which will be early next year."
