Salman wants to play his age
- IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,May 22 2010]
He is 40 something but the script demands him to be half his age. Is it possible? We hear a big NO! And thatÂs what Salman Khan expressed to his director Anees Bazmee, who is going to direct the remake of Telugu blockbuster ÂReadyÂ.
In the original film, the hero had been a 19-yr old college going student. While it was possible for Ram (Telugu actor) to look young, it is something unthinkable in our SalmanÂs case. Basing this, the actor approached the director and requested him to change the script to suit his age.
The remake is expected to go on floors in mid-June. However Salman was so serious about the rework that he said he would do the shooting only once the script is changed. Finally the director had to consider his request and made alterations in the film. It is said that now Salman will be playing a guy who manages his fatherÂs business, instead of a college student.
According to Anees, they have changed the Hindi version of ÂReady drastically, and for the better. ÂSalman wasnÂt comfortable playing that young a character. He will now play a guy who manages his fatherÂs business. Salman canÂt play a college student any longer and heÂs sensible enough to admit it, shared the filmmaker to sources.
