Shocking: Sohail is avoiding Salman

Well, if we go by the reports doing rounds in the grapevine then they suggest that Sohail who is all set to release his next directorial venture Freaky Ali is trying to avoid the cameo of Big Brother Salman in his movie.

But don't worry it has nothing to do with any unrest prevailing in the Khan-daan.

Sohail directed Sallu Miyan in four films, the last being Jai Ho - the film that fetched him almost 200 crores at the domestic box office. So why did he not think of Salman Khan in the lead when he decided on Freaky Ali?


Well then here is the reason.

As per Sohail, "Freaky Ali" is a simple film and Salman Khan is a larger than life star," he said.

Moreover, if we take a looks at his choice of films recently, then Salman has excelled in roles where he isn't required to bash the bad guys. Both Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Sultan are the conspicuous examples of the same. In both these films, which did wonders at BO, Salman has played the underdog.


Sohail further stated that, "A big film takes anywhere between 6 months to a year to reach the silver screen. We shot Freaky Ali in 45 days straight." The larger than life status of Salman Khan and his films can be gauged by the fact that Tubelight will release in Eid 2017. Sohail also revealed that the Tubelight's director Kabir Khan has been in pre-production since the release of Bajrangi Bhaijaan and the film has only just completed its first schedule in Ladakh.

While justifying his stance Sohail even stated that, "I didn't want Salman to take the attention away from the film. So we have only used the Salman Khan banner and the rest is all about the film and its lovable characters".
