Actor spent time on Dabangg cutting table before leaving for Sri Lanka

Salman Khan is in Sri Lanka shooting for Anees Bazmee's Ready. But before leaving, the actor spent a great amount of time editing his home production Dabangg. He'd also wanted to edit out a lot of his last release Veer, but director Anil Sharma hadn't let him interfere. On this film, he wanted to be hands-on and insisted on getting his way.

A source working on the film reveals, "Salman has taken a great deal of interest in editing. He's been patient and learnt all the technical aspects of being a good editor.

In fact, he started editing Dabangg right during the making of the film. He knew at the shooting stage what he wanted to keep in the film, and what needed to be chopped."

This newfound interest of Sallu shocked the technicians on the film. "They didn't expect him to be so involved in the technical aspects. He gave clear instructions to the editor, that nothing should be changed without his approval."

Arbaaz Khan refused to comment when contacted.
