The recent reports claiming that Salman Khan has been told to stay off even the mildest action sequences due to his neurological condition has taken the industry by surprise.
"It is strange that all his films currently being shot are action-oriented be it Dabangg 2 or Ek Tha Tiger. Even the one I am writing Sher Khan has lot of action," says writer Rumi Jaffrey who has written about a dozen films of Salman Khan in the past that include Judwaa, Mujhse Shaadi Karogi, Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya among others. "If it was that serious then Salman would have himself opted for romantic and comedy films instead of hardcore action ones. He would have chosen another story," adds Rumi.
Quoting a "close friend" of the actor, the report says that even a slight misjudged punch on his face could trigger off his condition and cause acute pain, and that the collective decision has been taken by the family members and filmmakers to keep him "out of danger as much as possible". Totally rubbishing the report and further clarifying on this, Salman's brother-in-law Atul Agnihotri (producer of Bodyguard) reacts, "The report is baseless. Salman is currently shooting action sequence for Dabangg 2 at Mehboob Studio."
However, Salman is someone who is known for taking risks, say the industry sources. "People as well as we friends keep advising him so many things, 'don't do this, don't do that' but Salman doesn't listen. That is his nature," says the writer while narrating an incident during the making of Tumko Na Bhool Payenge about a decade ago. "Even as we were telling him to not to jump from terrace of Hotel Centaur to the ground and let the body double do so, he took the leap himself," says the writer.
