Salman Khan is known to contribute to the making of many of his films with his creative ideas. Now, the actor is going a step ahead and is actually co-scripting a film with father Salim Khan. The film will be titled Veer. It seems it's all in the genes for Sallu. His love for painting has been inspired by mother Salma whereas his motivation for writing comes from father Salim, who has written some of the finest Bollywood classics like Sholay, Zanjeer, Trishool, Muqaddar Ka Sikandar, Amar Akbar Anthony, etc. Salman Khan says, "I am still writing the script, khatam karne mein waqt lagega (It will take a while to finish). But once it is done, I will call you and make you the script doctor, just like Himesh did with Komal Nahata and Taran Adarsh, so that you don't write anything bad about the film. You can also go ahead and print whatever I am saying. On a serious note, it will take a lot of time for us to complete the script." Is papa Salim making a comeback of sorts with Veer? "Where did my father go to make a comeback? As far as scriptwriting is concerned, I go to him whenever I get stuck," he says. Salman further adds, "I think my father does not want to write. Nowadays we make nonsensical films and these films are below my father's intelligence. He will never come down to that level. These days he is writing columns in some newspapers and he is very happy doing that."

Salman to now wield the pen

By MovieTalkies.com, 19 July 2007

Actor Salman Khan is changing tracks slightly these days. He is now taking to the pen very seriously. He will soon be co-scripting a film along with father Salim Khan. The film will be called Veer.

Salman's other love for painting seems to have been inherited from his mother Salma, a very good painter herself. And now, he is taking to writing, definitely a gift he must have inherited from his father. Salman has already started work on the script but says that it will take some time for him to finish the script. Of course, whenever he is stuck, he runs to his father for help. As for Salim, he does not seem very keen on writing these days, according to the actor. He cannot bring himself down to write the kind of nonsensical films that are being made these days. He prefers to keep himself busy writing columns in certain newspapers.
