The actor had a personal and emotional reason for co-producing a children's film

If Salman Khan's emotional reasons are any indication, it seems like film Chillar Party is his tribute to his pet bullmastiffs, Myson and Myjaan.

The actor, who's foraying into production with his banner, Salman Khan Being Human (SKBH) Productions, reveals that he loved the film so much that he wanted to take it over from the producers, UTV.

"But there were certain technicalities. Besides, Ronnie Screwvala wanted UTV to be involved as they have worked hard in making the movie, " says Salman, who decided to be associated as the co-producer.

"When the film does well, my share goes to Being Human Foundation."

A moving film

Talking about the emotional connect, the actor states, "Chillar Party reminds us of the emotions we felt as kids and we have forgotten with age."

He asserts that the film, about a group of kids and their pet "is most amazing". Recalling his bachpan ke din when he had a pet rabbit, he says, "When he died, I cried for a week. Later, I had two dogs, Lapsy and Rover, in Indore and Mumbai.

When they died, I was sad for a few weeks." Adds that after his bullmastiffs passed away, "I could relate to the story of this film. When the kids' pet dies, they take on a politician who wants to use them as an issue for his selfish gains."

Why production?

Considering that there are already two production companies in the family, headed by his brothers Sohail and Arbaaz, what prompted him to venture with a third company? "So that it's a part of Being Human, " retorts the actor. "Whatever profit the company makes, goes straight into the charitable foundation.

Not a single paisa from the earnings goes into my pocket. Main to phate t-shirt mein bhi theek hoon, " he quips, proudly showing of his grey t-shirt that is torn around the neck.

However, the neo-producer has no plans of churning out a fixed number of movies under his banner. "Either I've to really like the film or I need to believe that the script is in essence with SKBH Productions. It should connect to the heart, " he says matter-of- factly.
