Before Salman Khan was blasting trucks in deserts and finding ingenious ways to take off his shirt in movies, he used to do some lovely films in an era, waiting to be forgotten. In that time, he delivered two lovely movies called Khamoshi: The Musical (where he didn't mind being the second fiddle to Nana Patekar and Manisha Koirala) and Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. Both the movies were directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Salman later went on to do a cameo in SLB's Saawariya, but let's forget that movie ever happened! So you can't imagine our excitement when Bhai confirmed he is in talks with Bhansali for a movie!

Salman revealed this fact, when he was talking to PTI about his upcoming movies. He revealed, "There is no No Entry or Wanted sequel happening. I am doing Bharat, Dabangg 3 and Sher Khan. The Kick 2 script isn't ready at the moment and then there is a dance film with Remo and one Bhansali film when he comes and narrates it. We recently discussed it." Interestingly, there were also speculations that SLB's next might star Shah Rukh Khan. So what happened to that?

Coming back to Salman Khan's interview, he also revealed how he chooses his projects. He said, "The only films I want to do as soon as possible are the ones which satisfy me. I want to do something which I instantly like. I take up films only if they instantly excite me. If something is narrated to me and I am like 'I will tell you tomorrow' or 'I need some time to think', it's never happening." And then he goes on to add, "The only film I have done like that is Race 3. That too because I instantly loved the script, barring one or two points." Errr'''' Race 3 and an SLB movie! We must say Salman surely has a diverse taste in cinema and scripts!
