Salman Khan to play a tribal revolutionary in Veer

Salman Khan is all set to act as a tribal youth in the pre-independence era who took part in a revolutionary struggle. And for this role he has perfected a new make-up and look.

Salman Khan is seen in a beefy, bronzed look with shoulder length hair. The actor is seen wearing a fur jacket and an ethnic neckpiece and bangle. Also, Salman seems to be playing the warrior role to the hilt as he is seen holding a sword in one hand and a shield in the other.

“Veer is the story of a revolutionary tribal youth. It is really his love story”, reveals Anil Sharma who helms the project. The leading lady of this romance hasn’t been found as yet. According to Anil, “The script requires a new girl”.

To match Salman’s beefy looks, Mithun Chakaraborthy who plays his father has also hit the gym. The film was launched with an elaborate song sequence in Mehboob Studio, Mumbai a couple of months ago, which was “a celebratory song” that brings out the father-son camaraderie between Salman and Mithunda. Choreographed by Rekha Chinni Prakash, the music is by Sajid- Wajid.

Reportedly Veer is pegged at a staggering budget of Rs 120 crores. Without confirming figures director Anil Sharma stresses that it will indeed be one of the most lavish films currently as it will be shot in London, Rajasthan and hills of Himachal Pradesh. ”This is the first time that the England of early 1900s will be depicted,” he points out.

Katrina Declines Rumours of Isabel Debuting Opposite Salman In Veer

Rumours of Katrina Kaif's younger sister Isabel making her acting debut in Salman Khan's Veer are baseless.A few days ago, the industry buzz was that Isabel will be making her debut in Katrina's beau's film Veer. Veer is extremely close to Salman's heart as he has also written the film's script.

While a newspaper reported about Isabel being launched opposite Salman Khan in Veer, Katrina has a different story to tell. Katrina lashed out at the reports that have been doing the rounds. She says, "I don't know from where people are getting these ideas! How can Isabel make a debut in films when she hasn't even finished her education?"

What must have sparked the rumours is that Isabel was often seen with Katrina at several film dos. Says Katrina, "She was here on a holiday during her vacations and she has gone back to London to resume her education. She hasn't even planned yet if she wants to make her career in films or elsewhere. Even if Isabel chooses to join the film industry, she will definitely not be seen in Salman's Veer."

Veer's director Anil Sharma says, "Isabel being cast for Veer was only a baseless rumour. We are still developing the script, so the question of deciding on the actress makes no sense right now. We are not even thinking on those lines yet."

The director did meet Isabel but not to sign her for his film. He says, "I have met Isabel a couple of times. She is a nice girl but there have been no talks of her doing our film. We are yet to finalise the lead actress opposite Salman."

The film's shooting will commence in August this year. Veer is Salman's first period film.
