The latest is that actor Salman Khan will have to increase his weight by one-and-a-half times to fit into the role of Veer, in the film written by him. The role is that of a warrior. The actor has apparently already increased his chest by four inches in four weeks.

The actor is doing the necessary for the film, and in return, is charging Rs 25 crore for the film. Confirming Salman's fee for the film, producer Vijay Galani said that they are paying him that much for the role, which he feels is a difficult one to portray. According to him, Salman is working out diligently under the guidance of his personal trainer. He is also on a special diet. Salman wrote the film Veer over a long period of time. Certain modifications are being made in the film without changing the story. Galani clarifies that Salman has written the story of the film and not the script. Hence the actor will be given credit for the story and not the script. According to reports, actress Priyanka Chopra may star in the film. Salman wanted his girlfriend Katrina Kaif to star in the film but Katrina has signed too many films and cannot fit Veer into her schedule. So director Anil Sharma and Galani are thinking of casting Priyanka. Salman and the Priyanka were good friends and have acted opposite each other in films like Mujhse Shaadi Karogi and Salaam-e-Ishq. But things went wrong between them in between. However, Priyanka has patched up with him and all is now well between the two.
