Salman Khan to do a film on dancing, will play father to a 13-year-old girl

2017 looks like a promising year for Bollywood. A number of interesting releases are in the pipeline; and many of them will be revolving around quirky, relevant and intelligent subjects. Looks like the trend of breaking usual trends has taken over Salman Khan as well. Otherwise seen as an out-and-out romantic hero or a protagonist high in action, Salman will now play the father to a 13-year-old in one of his upcoming films.

“It’s a film about dancing. Like the Hollywood ‘Step Up’ franchise. I’m going to be a properly trained dancer. You know how painful that is? ‘Sultan’ was also painful. I had to lose 18 kilos of muscle. I’m not into diets. I eat ghar ka khana. And I don’t eat for taste. As soon as I’ve got my proteins and carbs, I leave the table. So, to lose 18 kilos of muscle was the most difficult thing on the earth. But I’ve always believed that effortless hard work should be seen onscreen. And that’s what I’ve been doing from ‘Wanted’ to ‘Sultan’,” he told a leading daily.

However, not the first time for him. The first film to feature him as a father was ‘Jab Pyar Kisise Hota Hai’. That was one of his earlier films and he was somewhere around 30 years of age that time.

We do not yet know much detail about the flick, but it sure sounds very interesting. The recently released film ‘Dangal’ had Aamir Khan playing a former wrestler who trains his daughters in the sport of wrestling. We wonder if Salman’s character too will be somewhere in the same line.
