Overview
- In a Variety India promo released Friday, the actor said he has never read a script and instead decides after hearing narrations from the writer or director.
- He said reading makes his mind jump ahead of the text, so listening helps him stay aligned with the filmmaker’s vision.
- Reports tie his approach to active retooling on Maatrubhumi, formerly titled Battle of Galwan, with references to China and Galwan dropped and extensive reshoots underway.
- He added that he seeks guidance from his father, veteran screenwriter Salim Khan, when weighing career choices.
- Context from 2025 looms large, as director AR Murugadoss said Sikandar suffered late call times and spot script changes, reflecting how star-first workflows can strain writing and schedules in Bollywood.
