Salman Khan sure has inherited artistic genes from his illustrious father Salim Khan.

Salim Khan is the man who co-wrote scripts for some of the cult classics like ‘Sholay', ‘Zanjeer', ‘Trishool' and ‘Amar Akbar Anthony'. Although he no longer writes for Bollywood films, Salim Khan is now said to be helping his son Salman pen a script.

Salman is writing a script titled ‘Veer'.

The actor says he often takes help and guidance from his father when he gets stuck in scriptwriting. "He is superb with ideas and words. The films that we make nowadays are below his level," Salman is quoted as saying about his father.

Salman says the script that he is writing with help from his father will take a long time to complete.

Will the project be made by brother Sohail Khan's production house? Salman says it is too early to talk about the project.

As of now, it is David Dhawan's slapstick comedy ‘Partner' that is dominating Salman's thoughts. The film has him teaming up with Govinda.
