Salaam-E-Ishq - Father Salim Khan wanted Sohails Track Edited Out
It can now be told . The length of 'Salaam-E-Ishq' had always been a concern for it's makers . Around the time its first copy was to be out , the producers showed it to Salim Khan ( of salim-Javed fame) to take an objective opinion . The veteran writer was frank enough to say that if anything could be deleted , it was his younger son Sohail Khan's entire track because , according to him ,it was not connected with other tracks in the film. However , since Sohail Khan and Isha Kopikar's scenes provided comic relief in the film ,the makers did not delete them . Anyway , that apart , one needs to admire Salim Khan because it requires a great deal of objectivity to be able to say that the scenes of one's own son need to be deleted to improve the pace of a film .
