Interview with Salman Khan

He`s bachelor, he`s muscular and he indeed can dance saala...yes we are talking about none other than dashing Salman Khan who recently got two big hits namely WANTED and LONDON DREAMS in his kitty.

And his brainchild VEER is all set to hit the screens. Salman claims that his new venture is all about father-son relationship and leaving no stone unturned to promote the film.

In a candid interview, Salman Khan speaks about VEER, his beautiful relationship with father Salim Khan also the co-writer of VEER and his love for kids. Here we go,
