Overview
- Salman Khan said in a new Variety India interview that he has never read a script and instead listens to narrations to grasp the director’s vision.
- He explained that reading throws off his focus, so he judges projects by tone, treatment and commercial pull as described by the creator.
- He said he still turns to his father, screenwriter Salim Khan, for guidance on career calls and follows the advice he gets.
- Maatrubhumi, his next film, has been overhauled with a new title, the removal of China and Galwan Valley references, and extensive reshoots, with no release date set.
- Reports also point to a Vamshi Paidipally film with Nayanthara targeting Eid 2027, as scrutiny of Khan’s working methods persists after Sikandar’s underperformance and accounts of on‑set script changes.
