“In fact, Salman had loved Ali’s idea long back and agreed to do it on principle. But, the officials at Yash Raj Films were waiting for Salman to sign Sultan when the entire script was ready. A few days back when the final narration happened, Salman was mighty impressed and informed Ali that he love the script and intends to start the film this year itself. In fact, Salman said that he would be giving Ali his dates from this September. Ali was obviously thrilled.”

While Salman has arguably the best line-up of upcoming films, which consist of movies like Kabir Khan’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Sooraj Barjatya’s Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, Karan Malhotra’s Shhuddhi and others films like the sequel to No Entry, the superstar, the source says, wants to do good cinema and content driven films.

“Salman is very clear that while he already has an interesting line up of films, he wants to do good cinema and content driven films. Ali’s script is said to have sports as its backdrop and that’s why Salman is keen to start the film immediately.”
