In a recent interview to IANS before ‘Veer’ release on January 22, Salman told that his film will be a lot different from the other period movies made in the past. “We haven’t followed the regular format. This has emotion, drama and comedy unlike other period films, which always casts an impression that no one used to laugh in those days,” he said.

‘Veer’ story revolves around 18th century ‘Pindaris’ who have a distinction of fighting till their last breath for their honor and land. Salman plays the lead role in the epic tale.

‘Veer’ is Salman’s second outing as a scriptwriter, long back the super-handsome Khan undid his writing skills in 1990 ‘Baghi’.

Salman claims to have written the story some 20 years back, but financial constrains has put him to hold script. “I had written the story 20 years ago but at that time it wasn’t possible to make the film. I thought now is the right time to make it, so I did.”

It won’t be wise to pass a judgment before watching the film, Veer could out-class other period movies of the era or it could turn out to be another dud after all the hooplas as it happened in the past.
