Hmm, Sallu Mian is working on his unfinished job in his (Dreams) films:
Salman Knows Best
Sources on the sets of Ek Tha Tiger reveal that Salman Khan has been regularly offering creative 'inputs' to director Kabir Khan, insisting that he knows exactly what his audience expects of him. The monstrous success of Dabangg, Ready and Bodyguard is evidence of that fact, given that it is no secret Salman practically ghost-directed major portions of all three films, tailoring the scripts to include over-the-top action scenes and puerile comedy tracks that his loyal fans seem to so wholeheartedly enjoy.
The industry, however, imagined that things would be different on Tiger because Kabir Khan is known to work on watertight scripts, and because the producers, Yash Raj Films, were sticklers for discipline. Turns out you can't argue with success.
So, while preparing to shoot an action sequence recently,
Kabir Khan is believed to have explained to Salman a scene in which the star was expected to chase a group of bad guys and thrash them violently. On hearing it, Salman reportedly told the director that it wouldn't work. "My fans don't want to see me chasing villains. They have to come to me," he allegedly said.
Exasperated, the director explained that the bad guys were running away from him, and couldn't possibly run in his direction. The star wouldn't have it. He insisted that the scene be rewritten so the villains could run to him, while he coolly waited to beat them up.
When they shot the scene as per Salman's suggestions, it turned out just fine, our sources say. In the end, Ek Tha Tiger may not resemble the script Kabir Khan wrote, but more than likely it will be the true-blue Salman Khan film that his fans expect of him.
