Salman Khan To Play A Detective In The Hindi Remake Of The Veteran!

Salman has found a new love in Korean films. After the remake of 'The Teacher’s Diary' and 'An Ode To My Father', Salman will star in the official Hindi remake of 'Veteran'.

Now that Bharat, the remake of an Ode To My Father, is all set for release on 5^th June, producer Atul Agnihotri not just confirmed the Veteran remake but also revealed what Salman Khan will play in the film. In an interview to PTI, Atul said,

“I saw the film and I liked it. I thought it is an opportunity to make it with him. It is a class film. I showed him the film and he felt the same. Salman has given a go ahead. He will play the detective in the film.”

Well, for the uninitiated, Veteran is a 2015 Korean film that actually revolves around a detective who is fierce and merciless. While working on a case, he learns that it is actually a young billionaire who manipulates a number of criminal conglomerates. Given all his power and connections, it is a tough task for the detective to catch hold of him.

Salman will obviously play the lead, but would there be changes made in the script? Atul Agnihotri said,

Adaptations are never literal, adaptations are always a starting point. After that, you blend it according to the sensibilities of the audience. It will have many big things, I have to make it bigger and larger as the expectations are huge every time Salman does a film. We hope to start sometime next year.”

Salman is currently promoting Bharat and is also busy shooting for Dabangg 3. He also has Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Inshallah with Alia Bhatt.
