My father is my hero | Salman

Salman Khan, who has penned the script of his dream project Veer which releases next week says his scriptwriter father Salim Khan is his real hero.

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 said, “My father is a real Veer, (a brave heart) as he has always faced tough times with courage and I salute him for that.”

“I remember I was small, when I flunked in Maths. I was terrified to face my father and disclose the fact to im. 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. He told me, beta agli baar zara dhyaan se padhna (son, study hard next time),” Salman added.

Veer, a period flick, is set in 1875 and is slated for a theatrical release on January 22. Salman plays a Pindari soldier in the movie.

“It’s the untold saga of a freedom fighter, who fought for social justice and independence,” the actor had said.
