Family time for Sallu at Veer Posted by naila , Thursday, January 21, 2010 at 1:14 PM, in Labels: Entertainment

Salman Khan, who has penned the script of his film 'Veer' which releases next week says his scriptwriter father Salim Khan is his 'Veer'.

The film produced by Eros International and Vijay Galani is very close to the actor’s heart, he said.

Salman has focused the script on the father-son relationship.

Talking about his idea of 'Veer' Salman says, "My father is a real 'Veer', (a brave heart) as he has always faced tough times with courage and I salute him for that".

Reminiscing the memories of his father, Salman said, "I remember I was small, when I flunked in Maths. I was terrified to face my father and disclose the fact to him."

"Somehow I gathered guts to tell him, to which he politely reacted and told me not to worry and spoil my vacations. Exams are not the real test. Still, 'beta agli baar zara dhyaan se padhna'," he added...link
