Salman Takes the Blame for Veer

Salman Khan has revealed that he is a man of his word, standing by a statement he made prior to Veer’s release. He had said if the film was a flop, he would take responsibility. In an effort to help recoup losses incurred by the ambitious project, Muscleman will make another film with producer Vijay Galani. The production of Veer was troubled, with numerous reports from the set detailing tension between actor-turned-writer Salman Khan and director Anil Sharma. Galani was tasked with keeping the film on schedule and under budget. Despite a promising opening, Veer’s performance at the box office was decidedly below average, with the film failing to recover production costs. Sources say that, true to his word, Salman is taking responsibility for the failure, and that plans for a collaboration are underway. “Not only has Salman reduced his fee but also plans to cooperate and make sure the project doesn’t get delayed,” said an insider.
