Did Salman Khan back out of Remo D’Souza’s dance film?

Ever since we came to know about Remo D’Souza’s next dance film that was set to cast Salman Khan, we were high on excitement. Remo, arguably, is known to be making the best dance films in the industry and we never saw Salman in that particular genre before! While some assumed if it was the third installment of ‘ABCD’, some even suggested Remo was going to direct ‘Dabangg 3’.

But things might just take a turn. As per a report by Subhash K Jha, Salman has backed out of the project owing to his age and feels someone like Varun Dhawan will do it better. (Also Read: Shah Rukh Khan reveals he never discusses work with Salman Khan and Aamir Khan)

“Salman was not happy with the idea of playing a dad, who must learn dancing to please his young daughter. He feels that the role doesn’t suit his age. Salman has already burnt his fingers with trying to play a character much younger than his actual age in ‘Tubelight’. Every effort was made to convince Salman. But he remained unsure of looking credible as a dancing dad. He felt the role was more suited to Varun Dhawan, or one of the other younger heroes,” a source was quoted saying.

This might turn out to be a disappointing turn of events for fans who were waiting for the film all this while!

However, we haven’t heard a word from either Salman or Remo pertaining to this yet.

Salman, on the professional front, is now working on ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ wherein he reunites with former girlfriend Katrina Kaif.
