Santoshi to direct Salman

Oct 13, 2010 - Parag Maniar

Although maverick director Rajkumar Santoshi is currently busy with his mega venture Power, with hot shots like Amitabh Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt and Anil Kapoor starring in the film, he is also working on another script to be announced soon. Apparently, the director is keen on casting Salman Khan, the hottest hunk in Bollywood in his next project. And why not? After the stupendous success of Salman’s Dabangg who wouldn’t want to cash in on him.

Our source said, “Santoshi and Salman are already discussing details for the film. In fact both of them are kicked about coming together again, after a span of nearly 15 years.”
They had come together for the comic caper Andaz Apna Apna — where Salman starred with Aamir Khan.
Sources also confirm that producer Ramesh Taurani of Tips will be backing this prestigious venture. Taurani has shelled out a whopping amount to rope in Salman, currently the most saleable actor for this film that promises to be even more masaledar than Dabangg. When contacted Ramesh Taurani confirmed saying, “Yes, it is true that Salman Khan is going to do my film. The film is going to be directed by Rajkumar Santoshi. I cannot say anything more.”
