Salman wants to watch Rascals before he leaves for Dublin
By Subhash K. Jha, October 3, 2011 - 10:10 IST

Though he is running out of time, Salman Khan wants watch his buddy David Dhawan'sRascals before he leaves for Dublin to resume shooting.

Salman, incidentally never watches any film. But since this is his soul-brother Sanjay Dutt's first production, Salman is willing to make an exception.

Says a source, "Salman is very disturbed by the recent reports suggesting a rift between him and Dutt. He wants to somehow fit a screening of Rascals in his tight schedule, so he can recommend the film to his fans. It's the least that Salman can do. David was overwhelmed to hear this, since he knows Salman doesn't watch films."

David spent a delightful evening with Salman, Ajay Devgn and Sanjay Dutt on Saturday shooting for Bigg Boss.

Says Dhawan, "We all became the 'Rascals' on the set. It was Salman and Sanju's first day of shooting for the show. Seeing their camaraderie I've decided to cast them together in a comedy."

While other directors and producers tend to be ultra-secretive about their films refusing to let a single soul see their precious films before release, David Dhawan has gone the other route with his new comedy.

Rascals is being screened for all and sundry. Every single day there are 2-3 screenings for friends, friends of friends, and friends of those friends. In fact there are so many screenings that Sanjay Dutt who turns a full-fledged producer with Rascalshas cancelled plans of an elaborate premiere.

Dhawan says he is fearless about adverse reports on Rascals being SMS'ed to the audience.

Reasons the simple and straightforward storyteller, "What is there to hide? If my film is funny and interesting, I can tell by the preview audiences' reactions that they are entertained. If my film was not interesting then no power on earth and no amount of secrecy can rescue the film."

David says there are three sets of previews for Rascals happening simultaneously. "My friends, Sanju's friends and Ajay's family and friends are holding screenings every day. We want as much feedback as possible."
