It is not a new thing that Bollywood actors are getting into the trend for direction. But for Salman Khan it is not a new desire but he had it in his mind many years back.

 

 

But what most inspired him to undertake the role of a director was that he was very impressed by the end product of the film 'Veer' that Anil Sharma had directed into. Salman Khan added, “I always wanted to be a director and would have made this film. But destiny turned me into an actor instead.”

 

During his film’s promotion at Delhi’s FICCI auditorium, he stated, “The budget was too high for this idea then, over 20 years ago; nobody took risks with period films.You always run the risk of not being able to accurately portray period settings and it can end up being tacky.”

  

Reportedly, there are some special effects applied to the movie and Khan seems to have flaunted his body in an impressive way that has come out very well in the film. Here he plays the role of a 19th century warrior of the Pindari clan, who is ready to die for his country.

 

When the question was picked up whether he tried to follow the style of Alexander and Troy, Khan dismissed it saying, “We were not inspired by any other war film.”

 

Well everything comes under inspiration, just like desire for direction.
