New Delhi, November 25: Bollywood actor Salman Khan has come up with a unique birthday gift for his writer-father Salim Khan on his 74th birthday Tuesday — he has decided to pay tribute to him with a blog on his upcoming movie `Veer`.
Produced by Vijay Galani, `Veer` will be released worldwide Jan 22 by Eros International.
“It is Salman`s dream project. When we discussed the idea of blogging on his experience shooting for the film, it was Salman himself who suggested that we launch the blog on his dad`s birthday,” said Galani in a statement.
“In fact, Salim saab is one of the few people to have seen the rushes of `Veer` and loved it. Since it has a father-son relationship, Salman felt it was apt to launch his blog on his dad`s birthday,” he added.
The producers are also trying to push Salman to pen his thoughts at least twice a week.
“The blog is in Salman`s own words. The blog will be written by him… It will be about how Salman thought about `Veer`, how it started, its hurdles, etc… We are trying to get him to blog everyday but if that`s not possible, he will update it twice a week,” said Galani.
Directed by Anil Sharma, the much-talked about film is about the bravery of a Pindari soldier and features Salman in never seen before avatar along with newcomer Zarine Khan.
Former Miss UK Lisa Lazarus too plays a pivotal role in the film that also stars Mithun Chakraborty and Jackie Shroff along with Sohail Khan and Bharat Dabholkar.
