Salim Khan is the head Honcho of the Khan [daan]…We tried to call Salim Sahab to know as to how does he spend his time being under house arrest wing to the outbreak of the Corana-virus Pandemic….Pat comes the reply, “Koi Khaas fark mehsoos nahi ho raha hai [I do not find much of a difference] As I do not go out of the house frequently on usual normal days too, because, I have no outside work to perform.
Being the prolific writer that Salim Sahab is whenever we would ask him if he would start writing once again, his answer would be in the negative….But surprisingly, this time with the Carona-virus Pandemic situation we noted a change in Salim Sahab’s mind and thought process. Looks like he is all up again to try his hand at what he is best at Writing.Salim Sahab wishes to give wings to his writing capabilities and passion ….This could be his third innings for writing if he begins again.
We asked him, Sir will we see you make a comeback penning down your precious stories on the celluloid as you fans are missing you? Within no time he replied, “Yes, I am writng something and if time and situations permit I shall write something.Though I keep writing. Every day ,when certain thought crosses my mind and if the idea surpasses my mind I do pen it down. However, Satyinmg at home 24@7 many ideas come in my mind and pass by.”
So what will be you next script be-A thriller, A masala drama or else romantic? He says,” Dekho nahi abhi bahut jld hoga koi bhi idea confirm karna.[Look! It will be very difficult to confirm any idea as to what genre it would be? ]. Abhi toh bahut ideas aate hai aur chale jate hai. Jb smay ayega aur final idea jo bhi hoga ,jo hame excite karega wahi final ho jayega.”[ Let the right occasion come and then whatever idea is appealing and is final then we shall share with you all But yes, this time I am keen to begin writing again.”
