It’s known to all that Salman Khan is jointly producing CHILLAR PARTY along with UTV Spot Boy. He is also part of the several promotional videos of the film. Even at the end of Ranbir Kapoor’s item number, the kids think about going to Salman Khan for an item song. So one is eager to know if he’s also acting in the film.
When we got in touch with co-director Vikas Bahl, he said, ‘Salman is not playing a role in the film. He doesn’t even have an item number in the film. He is just producing the film. Even in the promotional videos, he’s playing the producer.’
Interestingly, Salman was not approached to produce the film. Reveals Vikas, ‘Actually, we never approached Salman Khan to be the producer of the film. I wanted him to see the film because I thought the film had his attitude. The children in the film are not at all calculative and that’s how kids are. Salman is like the kids. I showed him the film purely to get his reaction. It was our luck that he was so overwhelmed and decided to produce the film. It was a smooth ride from then on. And it wasn’t planned at all.’
Speaking about Salman’s involvement in the film, Vikas said, ‘When Salman decided to produce the film, he didn’t ask us to make any changes. We had already made a trailer and wanted him to give his voice for it, which he did. Then we went to him for promos, and he shot them.’
It’s been almost three years since Imran Khan made his memorable debut on the big screen with Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Naa under the mentorship of his uncle Aamir Khan. But till date, one thing that everyone has been waiting for is to see the Mamu-Bhanja duo share screen space together. Looks like the wait is about to get over…
Though there were talks of Rani Mukherjee doing an item number in HOUSEFULL 2, it has turned out to be a hoax call.
