Reports that the new Salman starrer Mental would be done in 3D appear premature and misguided.

Says a source close to the project, `At the moment the unit's top priority is to complete the film for a January 24 release. Salman wanted to do a film in 3D for the longest time.

In fact when Sohail was making Sher Khan instead of Mental the plan was to make a big spectacular epic in 3D. But Sher Khan didn't happen.

Salman is now interested in converting parts of Mental to 3D. But this is on condition that the process doesn't dent the new release date. `

Sohail sheds some light in the matter. He states, `We are shooting the film in 2D. Some technicians in our crew have suggested that we do some 3D portions. First let me complete my film in the normal format. Then I'll take a call. `
